We’ve been posting tips for over two years and cover everything from how-to articles, upcoming small business events, changes in small business tax laws, buying guides, business courses, small business website communities, online marketing, social media and HR best practices to small business humor and horror stories. But, by far the most popular tips are those pointing to resources such as software downloads, calculators, and business templates that can increase productivity and optimize operations at the most reasonable of prices—FREE. This e-book pulls from well over 100 tips to provide you with the very best of the free resources in six key small business categories: Accounting and Finance, Business Templates, Computers and Software, Graphics and Design, Marketing and Public Relations, and Productivity. While they all may not apply to your business needs, you’re sure to find at least a couple of must-haves that will truly make your life easier. The tips don’t stop with this e-book. Be sure to stay current with the latest PaySimple Small Business Tip of the Week by checking the Tip of the Week section of our blog every Monday morning. If you have an iGoogle page, you can add the PaySimple Tip of the Week to one of your tabs. 3 Accounting and Finance 4 Web-Based Accounting Software The publishers of waveAccounting have a simple premise—we know accounting is one of the least enjoyable parts of running your business, so we’ll provide basic accounting software that simplifies the entire process to you for free. And they do mean completely free—they call it “un-pricing.” The catch, though they don’t like to call it a catch, is that you’ll see ads while using the software. If you buy, they get paid. If you don’t, you still get to use the software for free. The key of course, isn’t whether waveAccounting is worth the price, but whether it’s worth your time. If your needs are simple, then the answer is likely yes. The web-based application lets you import transactions directly from your bank accounts and credit cards and then categorize them manually or using automated programming. You can also manually input deposits and outgoing payments. You can run reports, send one-time invoices, calculate taxes, generate bill payment reminders, record payments, and generate basic ledgers. You can even create read-only access for your accountant or bookkeeper. The site provides several videos demonstrating how to do things as well as a help center for subscribers. waveAccounting won’t replace your accountant, and it won’t replace robust invoicing, bookkeeping, or payment processing solutions. But, if you run a simple small business, it may be just what you need—at the right “un-price.” Check out waveAccounting here. 5 Credit Guide for Small Business Owners So, you need a loan. What’s next? If you’re a small business, you have several options for obtaining one, but you need to know how to prepare your request and where to go to ask for the loan. The financial experts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have created a very informative and very detailed free booklet on exactly what you need to do. Called The Credit Process: A Guide For Small Business Owners, it begins at the beginning, and walks you through options and the materials you will need to prepare. The guide starts by talking about funding sources and types, as well as covering good reasons to borrow, and the types of loan you should be looking for based on the stage of your business. The next section covers the preparation of your loan request and business plan. First, you are given an outline of a basic business plan. Then in the “What the Lender Will Review” section it breaks down each component—such as balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and financial projections—tells you what a lender is looking for, and provides a sample for

  • Thesis Reference
    Thesis Context-aware multifactor authentication for the augmented human HUSEYNOV, Emin Abstract Multi-factor authentication is currently one of the de-facto standards for systems requiring strong security. In most of the cases, multi-factor authentication is rather complex and not very user-friendly, as it requires additional steps as far as end-users are concerned: e.g. with two-factor authentication, in addition to entering a username and a password (usually considered as a first factor), users need to manually enter an additional code (second factor) that they either receive by text messages, look up in a previously printed list of passwords or generated by a hardware or software token. An extensive review of potential security risks that multi-factor authentication is capable of mitigating is a significant part of this thesis. The thesis will review phishing as one of the biggest end-user targeted attacks and describe the security risks as well as modern methods of such attacks that can potentially lead to theft of sensitive data, such as user credentials, passwords and/or credit card information. The main purpose of this research is to review existing multi-factor authentication systems, primarily in corporate [...] Reference HUSEYNOV, Emin.

  • Remove ANY TOOLBAR from Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome
    Remove ANY TOOLBAR from Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome Browser toolbars have been around for years, however, in the last couple of months they became a huge mess. Unfortunately, lots of free software comes with more or less unwanted add-ons or browser toolbars. These are quite annoying because they may: Change your homepage and your search engine without your permission or awareness Track your browsing activities and searches Display annoying ads and manipulate search results Take up a lot of (vertical) space inside the browser Slow down your browser and degrade your browsing experience Fight against each other and make normal add-on handling difficult or impossible Become difficult or even impossible for the average user to fully uninstall Toolbars are not technically not a virus, but they do exhibit plenty of malicious traits, such as rootkit capabilities to hook deep into the operating system, browser hijacking, and in general just interfering with the user experience. The industry generally refers to it as a “PUP,” or potentially unwanted program. Generally speaking, toolbars are ad-supported (users may see additional banner, search, pop-up, pop-under, interstitial and in-text link advertisements) cross web browser plugin for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, and distributed through various monetization platforms during installation. Very often users have no idea where did it come from, so it’s not surprising at all that most of them assume that the installed toolbar is a virus. For example, when you install iLivid Media Player, you will also agree to change your browser homepage to search.conduit.com, set your default search engine to Conduit Search, and install the AVG Search-Results Toolbar.

  • Shepherd: Enabling Large-Scale Scanning of Websites After Social Single Sign-On
    Open University of the Netherlands faculty of Management, Science & Technology Bachelor Computer Science Shepherd: Enabling Large-Scale Scanning of Websites after Social Single Sign-on Chair(wo)man: Authors: prof. dr. Tanja Vos Jelle Kalkman Supervisors: Alan Verresen dr. ir. Hugo Jonker Benjamin Krumnow, MSc. Presentation date: 02-08-2019 July 31, 2019 Course code: IB9906 Abstract Session security for web applications should keep users safe from session hijacking and ensure privacy and security in their online lives. A substantial part of their online lives are hidden behind a login field. To study how secure and private their online lives are, it is needed to do this from the same, authenticated, perspective. However, for a large-scale study, this would require us to automate authentication and account creation for a large number of web applications. This has proven to be a major challenge because web application can roll out countermea- sures against automated account creation, valid credentials should be used, the web is very heterogeneous, and several ethical concerns need to be addressed. We found that we could leverage Single Sign-On, such as signing in with Facebook or Google, to automate authentication for a large amount of websites. At least 6.3 % of the web applications in the daily Alexa top 1M lists offer the option to use Single Sign-On to authenticate and in 56 % of the cases this is sufficient to reach the authenticated state. We extended the Shepherd framework to increase the reach of research on session security by adding modules to automatically detect if a web application offers Social Single Sign-On and, if so, the ability to automatically authenticate for that web application.

  • Good Downloads for Pc the Best Free Software for Your PC
    good downloads for pc The best free software for your PC. The best free PC software programs aren’t about the cost (or lack thereof), they’re about a fresh opportunity—collections of code that put the dumb hardware in your computer to smart use, tools that can accomplish anything from balancing your household budget to helping cure cancer. Stocking your PC is an intensely personal task. But some programs are so helpful that we heartily recommend them to everybody. These free PC programs—a mix of must-haves and delightful auxiliary apps—deserve a place on almost any computer. There are times when a paid alternative makes sense, however. We’ve pointed out the circumstances where an upgrade over the free offering is warranted, along with our recommendation for the category. Editor’s note: This article is updated periodically with the latest information and newer software picks when applicable. A better browser. Before you roll up your sleeves and start slinging software around, make sure to snag your web browser of choice. Using Windows 10’s default Internet Explorer or Edge browser when you’re accustomed to something else feels like wearing somebody else’s shoes. (Blech.) That said, our money’s actually on Edge, which earned top honors in PCWorld’s extensive best browser showdown, barely nudging out Google's just-as-superb Chrome browser. But hey, they’re all free! Try before you “buy.” And if the big names aren’t your thing, there’s a legion of highly specialized alternative browsers begging for your attention. Is it worth it to upgrade to a paid version? Maybe.
