  • Hacking Tip: Forge E-mail Addresses

Thankfully, many major e-mail providers have software that blocks this. My intention is to make people aware of this flaw so that other e-mail providers can protect themselves as well. An example program for protection can be found at http://www.zsty.com/email.

    This video will show you how to disable Windows Vista’s User Account Control, or UAC. The UAC is that box that constantly pops up saying “Windows Needs Your Permission To Run, Do You want to Continue?”. Be advised that Microsoft does not advise this, because it may allow some programs to run without your permission. If you are OK with this, then feel free to follow these steps to get rid of the annoyance.
