A user of the Free PC Help’s community has found a serious flaw in the LookC CCTV servers - some of which are installed in primary and secondary schools across the UK.

The vulnerability allows any unauthorized user to view live static images from inside buildings ranging from Schools, Office, Factories, and many more. The vulnerability has been tested 20+ LookC servers across the UK and all of them seem to have this flaw.

Apparently LookC’s attitude was disgraceful towards the Founder of the flaw, who informed LookC of the issue on Tuesday this week before publishing his findings on Friday. After days of LookC knowing, the simple issue has still not been fixed at the time of writing.

An article has been published on Free PC Help explaining the full story and the vulnerability, which is viewable here.

So, your computer has been infected with a virus or some spyware, you have tried to remove it and it just isn’t worth the hassle. Instead, you decided to format your computer and reinstall Windows XP to a nice clean slate!

What if you can not find the OEM CD which came with your computer? Using another OEM CD will not work as the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) will not work with other manufacture Windows XP CD-Rom’s.

Seth at Free PC Help provides a great workaround which doesn’t break the law and will leave you with a valid copy of windows.

I know i can…

Some years ago, purchased at the local computer shop i use to work in -at trade price - cost me £25 for a measly 32mb! Nowadays you can pick up a 32gb usb pen prive for a few extra quid!

All of these drives are formatted as either FAT16 or FAT32 and on the surface there does not appear to be a method to format them with NTFS. AdvancedSetup explains a workaround over at Free PC Help on how get your usb stick on NTFS.
