Welcome to the iolo affiliate newsletter for July. In the

users, XP users in particular, can use the anti-malware
and data protection features within System Mechanic Pro
to their full advantage and keep their files and privacy
secure.
In this edition of the newsletter
we're going to provide you with an article that
outlines how Wi-Fi security is an major issue for both
travelers, and holiday shoppers. [System Shield from iolo technologies offers
anti-spyware and antivirus capabilities that scan the PC
for any unauthorized or potentially malicious elements
and eliminates them from the computer].

Wi-Fi Security an Issue
with Travelers, Holiday Shoppers
Public
Wi-Fi hotspots are a favorite place to connect to the
Internet for many mobile users because they don’t have
to plug in a password for it. But what they might not
realize is that these networks make it much easier for
viruses and hackers to infect a computer. Two of the
most common types of people affected by this are
travelers and online shoppers. According to a recent
study by PhoCusWright, 84 percent of those on trips or
vacations use
Wi-Fi without taking necessary precautions,
Hospitality Technology reported.
The survey polled around 2,220 U.S. travelers and found
that 82 percent of them are well aware that their
personal information is at risk when on public networks,
yet the overwhelming majority don’t do anything to
secure themselves. Additionally, 51 percent of
respondents were worried about a hacker stealing
personal information, and another 51 percent were
nervous about making online purchases with credit cards.
Still, there appears to be a lack of knowledge or
urgency with regard to protecting a PC when on a public
Wi-Fi network. Some of the top threats include
unknowingly downloading malware that can infect a system
and hackers stealing personal information.
Holiday Shoppers Must Be Extra Careful on Public Wi-Fi
Thanks to the holiday season, consumers will be making a
lot of online purchases over the next few weeks.
However, those that do so over a public connection are
leaving themselves at a greater risk to hackers.
According to KTAR, securing a computer when
shopping over a Wi-Fi hotspot is critical.
While it may be difficult for a hacker or virus to steal
information over a secure website, once they have access
to a Wi-Fi connection, everything becomes visible to
them, including personal data. Therefore, establishing a
secure line starts with firewalls and strong passwords
that can prevent snoopers from gaining access.
"You have to upgrade the firewalls on your computer and
have them activated with a password that nobody is going
to crack," security expert Robert Sollars said. "The
easiest way to make your password tricky is to combine
symbols, numbers, letters, uppercase and lowercase."
Having strong antivirus software is essential to
protecting a computer on a Wi-Fi network.
System Shield from iolo technologies offers
anti-spyware and antivirus capabilities that scan the PC
for any unauthorized or potentially malicious elements
and eliminates them from the computer.
System Mechanic 14 Sneak
Peek
Key features in the updated 'LiveBoost'
tool
If you receive iolo newsletters, you'll know that System
Mechanic 14 is coming! Below is a sneak peek into one of
the key tools; LiveBoost.
PowerSense. PowerSense is a unique new
technology that makes automated changes to the PC’s
operational configuration when certain applications are
launched, or upon user request. For instance, it may
change the active power plan, stop select services and
processes, and more. It then reverts
those changes when the mode is exited.
These changes help to ensure that the PC is tuned for
the task the user is actively engaged in.
Ultra Performance Mode. This mode disables
certain power conserving features present even in the
High Performance power plan, namely CPU frequency
scaling and core parking. Through these tweaks, the CPU
remains ready to execute code, never needing to be
‘ramped up’ from a parked or low-frequency state. This
is especially effective for bursting loads, which are
the most common type of load.
Endurance Mode. This mode helps to prolong
battery life at all costs. It is not recommended for any
use outside circumstances where battery life is
the priority.
IdleDown. This feature changes the active
power plan when the PC goes idle for seconds or minutes,
then restores the original power plan upon activity.
This allows the user to run in a High Performance power
plan, for instance, without having to worry with
returning to a lesser power plan when you leave the PC.
OptiCore. This feature was added to System
Mechanic 12.5, though is better presented in more recent
builds. It works wonders to retain system responsiveness
during high loads by marginal dynamic adjustments to the
priority class of offending background processes. It
does this without any real impact on those background
processes, since it takes so few CPU cycles to remain
responsive.
RAMJet. This is the first ever ‘smart’ RAM
optimizer. Unlike traditional RAM optimizers that force
every process to trim their working set, RAMJet is
selective and conservative. It only trims the memory of
processes that seem to be causing problems, and does so
in a slow and deliberate way, to minimize any potential
negative impact from these operations.
RAMJet's intelligence comes from the way it classifies
processes into different tiers. Each tier is
treated differently, and has different thresholds that
must be met before processes in that tier are
acted on.
For context, below are screenshots of the revised UI
through System Mechanic 14 [for LiveBoost].

iolo Affiliate
Masterclass
What's your angle?
One of the deciding factors on whether your campaign will
make a lot of money, or fail miserably, is your 'angle'.
So what is an 'angle'? Simply put, it's the steps that
take your traffic/prospects from the traffic source, to
your landing page, and then [hopefully] the converted
sale.
The vast majority of affiliates [not you] simply aren't
very creative, and often have major difficulties coming
up with new ideas. The key to coming up with new angles
is to be inventive, and not to simply copy & paste
what's already out there, and hope for the best...
One thing that a lot of successful affiliates do is to come up with
3-5 core concepts e.g. slow computer, internet speed,
security holes, develop some landing pages for each
concept, and run a test campaign to see what happens.
Eventually, through diligent split-testing, it'll become clear which concept/landing page
works best...There's nothing intrinsically wrong with
this approach, but there is another way.
Why not create a survey, let your users/prospects
decide which is their main problem, and build an angle
around it! For example, you could come up with a list of
PC problems, and have prospects express their opinions;
as a hook you should offer them something [some form of
money always works well]. Please note: It
might make sense to leave some questions open i.e. not a
defined answer, as this could lead to some
extremely valuable/unprompted feedback...
Below is an example framework so you can see what I'm
driving at:
First screen...

$20 software coupon can be yours!
Simply answer (4) questions about your PC and get a $20
coupon.
It's easy, and only takes 20 seconds.
