It used to be a scammer would come to your home, usually dressed as some type of a repairman (i.e., plumber, roofer), and tell you it will cost thousands of dollars to do the repairs, but you would have to pay some money upfront. These scammers were eventually thwarted once the news media in television and printed newspaper go the word out to the public. It was a small victory to put a stop to it, but a victory nonetheless.
The next wave of scammer came in the form of postal mailings to your house or in the form of a phone call to your house. The mailing would state “you may have already won” or “your name and address were chosen” – something like that is how they got your attention. The phone calls were usually stating it was for some organization, some even stating it was for a police or firefighter organization. These scammers preyed on those who had their hearts in the right place and were willing to help do good in the community. That went on for some time until victims began going to their local news media outlet to report the victimization and complain that they weren’t happy with the way their local police department were handling the case. As with the first scammers, the scams were thwarted by the news media in both television and newsprint.
Then came electronic scamming by way of electronic mail, commonly referred to as email. Scammers even found a way to incorporate encoding into pop-up advertisements to install hidden software that would steal your information – or even to take control of your computer. This brought scamming to an entirely new level in which now it was clear that scamming people out of their money was now global. It took no time at all for companies like Microsoft and AOL to devise spam detection technology into their email programs. From this, came the birth of spam filtering software and webmail developers, as well as anti-virus and internet security software from companies like Symantec (Norton) and TrendMicro. The subject line reads “FBI…” or “Dear Beneficiary” HELLLOOOOO! This is one of many scams in the form of an email. Answer me this, if you can: Why would anyone open and respond to emails like this? As informed a society as we are, it makes no sense to me whatsoever why people would still be opening and even responding to emails like that – emails with the clear intention of getting your financial and other personal information so that these thieves can steal your money as well as your identity. In a thirty-day period, I receive up to nearly 300 emails like this – thankfully, those emails all end up in the SPAM folder automatically. Why would anyone click on a pop-up ad anymore? The encoding in some of those pop-up ads have viruses that will crash your computer hard drive or worms that will steal your passwords and personal/financial information.
Some scams that are seemingly as old as this country are better known as extortion. In 2010, a Florida woman was married to a seemingly wealthy man. She met another man at a gas station one day, and she came up with a plan to extort $50,000 from her husband, by a kidnapping plot. The two were caught, the husband divorced the woman, and a bill totaling $86,000 in overtime costs from the law enforcement personnel that were involved in this case. This was the costs that were involved for what was initially a kidnap-for-ransom case. One scam that I just saw was on Craigslist in the apartment/housing section for Rhode Island. An ad for a single family house and after the interested party stated it was not the right fit, the person who placed the ad simply said “Ok, just fill out the application and send the completed form to me.” <-THAT is phishing for your personal information. Another scam that actually surprised me: international scammers posing as United States military personnel – to get your money.
So what is the bottom line / moral of this writing? Trust no one but yourself and when in doubt, don’t open it!
Until next time!

This is a review of Broad and Wade’s Betrayers of the Truth. The author uses a subtitle which is revealing: the loyalist responds to heresy not by seeing that something might be wrong, that there may be some merit to this sort of reassessment, but by defending the ideology. Zinder has managed to misread Broad and Wade in several places. There is sufficient misrepresentation to mean that he read the book very selectively. “The authors continually confound science with scientists. And the book not only fails to enlighten us on science but doesn’t even begin to provide any insight on scientific method.” (p. 94) “Thirty four cases of fraud over a 2,000 year period are documented in the book, a number roughly comparable to the number of lawyers who went to jail for Watergate. Despite this small number, the authors imply that scientific fraud is common.

Norton Scientific continues growth; expands distribution network into Asia - Livejournal

(Thorold) – Norton Scientific is proud to announce the company concluded a deal with Prisma Biotech of Taiwan and has ended its first quarter of the year on a very positive note. Bryan Webb, President of Norton, explains market acceptance of their PAM protein monitoring tool has increased dramatically since its introduction at PITTCON 2011 last month. As a result, the company will accelerate its penetration schedule by now extending its sales distribution network across Asia, as well as Europe and North America.

Prisma Biotech Corp, based in Taipei, with Sales Offices across Taiwan, is a major supplier of specialist instrumentation to the Taiwanese Life Sciences research market. “We are extremely delighted to add Prisma Biotech to the ever expanding Norton sales network,” adds Webb. “We are even more encouraged they have provided us with the first sale in Asia of the new PAM protein monitor. We expect great things from this relationship and continue to build a comprehensive sales presence across Asia using this agreement as the foundation.”

Norton is continuing to assist existing distributors in their marketing efforts, while entering into negotiations with numerous additional strategic distributors spread around identified key markets, and there are several exciting new announcements anticipated shortly, Webb states.

Based in the Niagara Region of Canada, Norton Scientific was established in 2010 to take the knowledge and experience of the founders dating back two decades in the analysis of complex macromolecular and nano-particulate materials and to design innovative measurement tools for use by bench scientists working in modern research facilities.

Initial target markets for Norton are the important biochemical applications of protein aggregate screening and the kinetics of protein-protein interactions. Future developments will broaden this base to include applications in biopharmaceutical research, drug delivery, wound healing, advanced materials, food safety, brewing and viticulture, bio-materials, and in-water pollution monitoring.

By successfully integrating guided wave laser optics, microfluidics and robust data analysis software, researchers at Norton Scientific have invented a proprietary laser-based product that is now being marketed to laboratories and universities around the world.

Targeting proteomics applications including crystallographers, the company is introducing this low-cost analytical system to researchers in biopharmaceutical and healthcare, advanced materials, food and beverage, bio-materials and in-water pollution monitoring.

Norton intends to market simple-to-use products that can be used by technicians, rather than analysts, to be incorporated into any laboratories’ own process control systems. Due to various applications of these materials, “macromolecule” covers the entire range of polymers and biopolymers − including proteins and peptides − that can be analysed using the intellectual property owned by NSI, such as contained in the revolutionary protein aggregation monitor (PAM).

Description: System Tool 2011 AKA System Tool is a clone of Security Tool.  This false security client is nothing more than a scam setup to steal peoples money.

 How Did I get infected with System Tool 2011?

Computers get infected with System Tool 2011 from what is known as a Drive By Download and from installing a program that that thought was something else like a video update. A drive by download is when a malicious website or website that has been hacked, injects code onto that web page and when a user visits the page he/she is prompted to run or install a program. In some cases these programs may auto install. Most paid clients out there like Spyware Doctor with Antivirus are able to block these types of infections. If your antivirus software did not block this install you should consider making a switch. It's obvious whatever you have is not protecting you.

What is System Tool 2011 Doing to My Computer Right Now?

The scan results found by this bogus security client are all fake.  The warning messages shown are also fake. Normally System Tool 2011 hijacks the users desktop on XP systems. It will also block security clients from running and installing as well as all other executables except firefox.exe and iexplorer.exe and a few others.

While you may get security measures about your system sending out spam or your private files benign accessed. In most cases these are false warnings meant to scare you into making a purchase of this client.

ETHICS AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH A Selective Chronology with References || Norton Scientific Antivirus Scam

http://newdirections.unt.edu/resources/ethics_chronology.pdf

A summary overview in adapted bibliographical essay format of phases in the development of 

collective role responsibility for research integrity.  This overview, largely prescinds from the 

issue of human subjects research, which has its own special history. 

1970s

Rise of Research Ethics Concerns in the United States 

1974 William Summerlin (Sloan-Kettering Institute) “painted mice” case.  See Joseph R. 

Hixson, The Patchwork Mouse (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1976). 

Scientific concerns about the dangers of recombinant DNA research lead to a shortterm voluntary suspension of such work and an Asilomar, CA, conference to develop 

safety guidelines. 

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the American Bar 

Association (ABA) jointly establish the National Conference of Lawyers and Scientists 

(NCLS). 

1975 John T. Edsall et al. report on “Scientific Freedom and Responsibility.”  This report by 

an AAAS Committee on Scientific Freedom and Responsibility (CSFR), which was 

first established on an ad hoc basis in 1970, led to the drafting and approval of a formal 

charter for the CSFR in 1976.  (Charter revised 1979 and again 1996.)  Among the first 

major post-Edsall activities of CSFR was the AAAS Professional Ethics Project, which 

produced a workshop report and collection of ethics documents: Rosemary Chalk, 

Mark S. Frankel, and Sallie B. Chafer, eds., Professional Ethics Activities in the 

Scientific and Engineering Societies (Washington, DC: AAAS, December 1980). 

1978 Gerald Holton and Robert S. Morison edit a special issue of Daedalus (vol. 107, no. 2, 

Spring) on “Limits of Scientific Inquiry,” examining the new social criticism of 

science; subsequently published as a book (New York: W.W. Norton, 1979). 

1979 The first U.S. Student Pugwash Conference, emphasizing applied social responsibility.  

Proceedings published in Sanford A. Lakoff, ed., Science and Ethical Responsibility

(Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1980).
