PrimoPDF 4.1.0.9

I'm unable to print to XPS today on a Windows Vista SP1 computer using IE 7 which worked previously.

Since there is a new release of PrimoPDF, I installed it. But during printing, it gave an unhandled exception error as shown.

Changes to Optus Pre-Paid Wireless Broadband

From November 24, 2008, the changes are as shown. Instead of getting 2GB data when you purchase a $30 pre-paid SIM starter kit with your own USB modem, you'll get 1GB data only.

You'll need to configure APN as internet which is the same as SingTel.

Multiple Online Malware Scanners

The online malware scanners mentioned previously allow you to scan your computer for malware on demand. But this will take time and only one malware engine can be active at one time. If you only need to scan certain files, you can use the following free services:
  1. VirusTotal
  2. Virus Org
These services are powered by the engines of multiple antimalware companies which can help you to determine any false positive if only one vendor finds it.

Reverse DNS

It's best to select an ISP which provides no reverse DNS for your internet connection. You can check online.

It's important to select a router or modem which can stealth the common ports and all service ports. You can perform the ShieldsUP test by clicking Proceed after checking whether your internet connection has reverse DNS.
