Some users of a postpaid 3G Air** connection are saddled with a huge postpaid internet bill, usually for internet usage which someone else is utilising at their cost. The hackers make changes in the registry and soon after the connection is made, the user gets the message “UnifiedUi.exe has stopped working” (screenshot posted below), and the disconnect button disappears.
UnifiedUI.exe has stopped working
For some laptops the connection is disconnected remotely and connected again without the subscribers knowledge or permission.
Even after making a complaint to Air**, there has been no solution to the problem, but internet usage is being monitored very closely by the subscriber to avoid inflated bills. More updates will be posted here.

For several days, Tata Photon+ modem (prepaid connection) has been giving the error – “The PPP link control protocol was terminated”
A few weeks ago, there was a balance of approximately Rs 5000 available on the Photon+ modem.
Even after recharging at a Tata Docomo franchise, it continues to give an error.
At another Tata Docomo franchise, was told that the engineer is only available between 10 am and 6 pm.
The Tata photon+ was tested at different locations using different computers, but gives the same error.

Increasingly, it is becoming more economical to rent/lease computer equipment rather than buy them. Most brands offer after sales service for only one year after the purchase date. After that all maintenance has to be done by the equipment owner or an AMC has to be signed, which can be expensive. Also for most computer/electronics equipment the performance deteriorates significantly after the first year of use, so money may be wasted in procuring expensive components as replacements.
In terms of reliability/performance, computer equipment can be ranked in the following sequence
1.Branded desktops – very reliable , most work for a year or two without major problems
2.Branded laptops/netbooks – vulnerable to hacking using WiFi / Bluetooth
3.Branded printers – deskjets, allin ones – most unreliable at present, scanning functions stops arbitarily, power supply malfunctions.
Have tested 3 major brands of printers /all in one devices.
In such cases at least for laptops /netbooks/ printers , leasing may be a more cost effective solution.

The problems created due to unauthorised access by misusing Bluetooth /Wifi of a laptop connected cannot be underestimated. These include framing the computer user for activities which he or she were not responsible for. Some of the options for preventing Unauthorised access using Bluetooth/wifi are
1. Changing location constantly – only feasible if the user has a mobile office.
2. Using a desktop ( which does not have bluetooth /wifi inbuilt)
3. Wireless jammers can be used , but these are expensive and difficult to find. Importing jammers is prohibited.

Initially it seemed that the Toshiba netbook password was reset remotely
Later when trying to use system repair /Windows 7 CD and command prompt, it appears that the keyboard has been tampered with.
use cmd, go to command prompt
While typing i oi appears , and similarly for many other keys.
So when typing the password, the actually password input will be totally different, creating the illusion that the user has forgotten the password.
While booting with Windows 7 CDR , there is a loud beeping sound.
Unable to use system restore / system repair for restoring to original state
Offline windows editor for editing/modifying password does not work.

Purchased from Flipkart
Order ID : OD20628201438
Item : Toshiba NB510-A1110 Netbook
The item was supplied with a poweron key which did not work properly.
Unlike most laptops, the Windows 7 starter edition used a password
After 2.5 months, the password seems to have changed remotely.
Buyer was unable to lodge a complaint on Toshiba ‘s toll free number even after spending 45 minutes and making 5 phone calls.
When the buyer visited the Toshiba authorised service centre Redington India at their office at 409, Citicentre,Patto Plaza, Panaji 403001, the office incharge refused to provide any support.
The reply from Flipkart’s customer support is given below.

When the average computer user loses data through a hard drive crash or malware attack, it’s no fun. Everything from music, documents, and family photos are wiped out and the loss can sometimes be emotionally devastating. What’s worse, however, is when a business with thousands, or even millions, of dollars on the line loses precious data. In today’s information age when more and more of a typical business’ operations take place digitally – the information on a company’s hard drive/s can be its life blood. Needless to say, it’s a bad day for stakeholders if all this data gets erasd in a flash and there’s no backup.
For this reason, any serious business that uses computers for a significant portion of its operations should invest in online backups to protect itself from loss of critical data. The cost of insuring data security is a tiny fraction of the cost involved (not to mention lost revenue) in cleaning of the effects of a disaster. A variety of service providers exists and – with a huge array of options to choose from – any business, large or small, can find the right firm to handle their data security needs for the right price.

Remote access of a laptop without permission can lead to data corruption and other problems.
The hackers accessing the laptop do not even bother to cover their footprints. This message is not displayed at a location 500 or 1000 m away,indicate that a bluetooth or wifi connection is being used to access the computer. the best way to solve this problem is to use the laptop at a different location every 7 days or so.

Today most netbooks and laptops have bluetooth and WiFi enabled as a default setting and this can create problems for the user. If a hacker uses a cable, DSL or dialup connection to access your computer, you can simply disconnect the cable and use your laptop or desktop without any interference.
However, securing your computer against a WiFi network accessing your computer, without your permission is far more difficult. Even if you disable the bluetooth and WiFi connection through the control panel, some hackers seem to be able to enable these wireless connections remotely , access data on your computer and install malware. One solution to this problem is to purchase a WiFi jammer for blocking these signals. Another solution is to relocate to a place where you are out of the range of the suspect WiFi network.

One of the main disadvantages of using a cable internet connection with a fixed IP address is that your computer becomes vulnerable to hackers all around the world. They can take control of your computer, and you may be held responsible for their actions. So while a cable internet connection is often faster than other internet connections, especially for downloads, it is advisable to minimize its usage, especially if you think it has been hacked.
