Kaspersky’s AV solution now more accessible to Malaysians via MyDigi Subscriptions

Amid the increasing threats targeting online users, global cybersecurity company Kaspersky offers monthly subscriptions for its anti-virus solution to Digi customers for as low as RM3 a month.

The company collaborates with Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) to offer the telco’s customers Kaspersky’s robust cybersecurity solution across multiple platforms – Android, PC, and Mac via MyDigi Subscriptions by EasyAdd service.

The subscription is part of Kaspersky’s xSP for the telecommunication companies, which allows telco customers convenient access to the brand’s security products.

According to Yeo Siang Tiong, General Manager for Southeast Asia at Kaspersky, with more IT security breaches being reported in the press, the company wants to make it easier for consumers to find effective ways to protect their privacy, finances, and digital assets from malware and internet-based attacks.

“It is a hard-true fact that most individual users would spend premium on physical protective cases on their smartphones, and seldom they consider to spend the similar amount or much lesser on a security software. Despite the fact that they do many transactions involving personal data like bill payments, credit card transactions, online banking, online shopping, e-wallet, money transfer and others. But after the several data breaches being reported currently, I hope the alarm is now sounding louder,” Yeo said.

“Through our partnership with Digi, we hope to change the consumer mindset --- that cybersecurity is cumbersome and tedious --- by offering them our security solutions at a very reasonable rate, and through a single point of subscription which enhances their digital lifestyle,” he added.

The Kaspersky Anti-Virus exclusive packages available on MyDigi Subscriptions are:
Android (Trial) Currently Free, auto renewal at RM3/month upon completion of trial
Android monthly subscription RM3/month
Android – 6 months subscription RM14 for 6 months
PC or Mac monthly subscription RM5.50/month
PC or Mac – 6 months subscription RM45 for 6 months

MyDigi Subscriptions’ customer experience is kept simple where a single login from MyDigi is all they need to start subscribing to the services of their choice. Navigation is also made easy as the services are grouped under four different categories - entertainment, productivity, learning and lifestyle. Customers can also manage their subscriptions seamlessly in one bill, where payment can be made via their phone bill or prepaid credit. This new service can also be accessed by non-Digi users via https://www.easyadd.my/product/kaspersky. Debit and credit card payments are accepted.

Just for Future Reference

Despite what some maps may show as a navigable route, they may really not be navigable. For example, I would not try kayaking the West Branch of the Sacandaga from Shaker Place to Wells without some serious experience and planning.

Always double check before embarking on a trip and be sure to bring safety gear like life jackets, GPS, maps, and compasses.

Explosion Info?

I finally got to Cascade and Porter after avoiding the parking and crowd issues. A Friday morning after leaf season helped on both accounts, in fact I had complete solitude atop Cascade (my friend is afraid of heights and the openness unnerved her so she waited near treeline), and two of us enjoyed a long, quiet lunch on Porter.
While on Porter we heard and actually felt an explosion that had us speculating what could have caused it and wonder if anyone could confirm or deny our many guesses. The most plausible I have is gravel mining or blasting rock at a construction job. It happened at 12:06 pm Friday, came from the west/northwest.

Looking for a mentor

I am a beginning hunter with NYS hunting license and rifle experience. Looking to find a mentor who would be willing to take me on a hunt or two this season, I don't even have to bring my rifle if you would prefer. I would just like to shadow and learn. I am looking for someone who enjoys hunting at least a few miles from trail head and plans to camp overnight in tents. All fair chase stalking type hunting. Please feel free to contact me and start a conversation. A little about myself, I am a 35 year old new father with an Engineering degree. I am in decent physical shape and am currently training to get in better shape still. I have backpacked once before in Adirondacks a few years back and loved the area. Again make no mistakes about it I am pretty much as green as they come, but I am an exceptional learner and up for the challenge. I can follow directions and have very little ego when it comes to who is in charge.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Enjoy your season!


Moose's Hoof, WLWF, 24 Oct, 2019

I last visited the Moose's Hoof in the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest four and a half years ago and have been looking for an excuse to revisit the area. Today, Tredhed and I had a chance to work the hike into our busy schedules. After spending the night at the Hamilton County Mosquito Preserve, we hit the Rt. 8 trailhead at a reasonable hour.


As we signed into the woods, I was surprised to see that 33 entries were in the trail register before ours. It's good to see people checking out this neat area.


The blue disked trail heads uphill, away from the noise of Rt. 8.


Wednesday morning's rain really made Georgia Brook howl.


The Algonquin Snowblazers have done some recent work to clear some of the blowdown along the trail. Thanks folks! :thumbs:


In .5 miles or so, we came to the junction with the Georgia Brook trail and began our bushwhack. We soon crested the wooded peak of the lesser "hoof".


Dropping into the saddle between the two hooves, we noticed some really neat erratics. This one kind of has a Halloween face in it?:eek:


Heading up out of the saddle, we soon started to see open rock.


In no time, we crested the 1645' peak of the "Hoof" and the scenery was pretty neat.


I really enjoyed some of the fragile mosses that were on the large expanse of open rock.


The views of Buckhorn Mt. were spectacular.




After a while on top of the "Hoof", we headed down to the saddle and went downhill to the hunter's trail. The informal hunter's trail took us near the trail junction. It was a short walk back to the trailhead and a hot cup of coffee.


We spent about a couple hours in the woods this morning on a short hike up this small hill. The views were great and the weather was even better. Not a bad way to spend a fantastic fall morning.

Rocky Peak Ridge bushwhack from Rte 73.

This hike was inspired by Gregory Karl, who is an intrepid student of the wonders of the Adirondacks, as long as the wonders in question are off-trail. Greg posted a trip report on the forum many years ago and I mentally filed it away for future reference. Recently, I communicated with Greg regarding the route he took. For mastergrasshopper and Boghollow and I yesterday was the big day.

In the pitch dark we hopped over the guard rail across from the Round Pond parking lot. Under headlamp glow we immediately hit a set of cliffs, then another set. We worked our way up very steep terrain and, being overdressed for the occasion, we quickly overheated in the 32 degree temperatures. As false dawn began to light up the woods the terrain flattened out and everywhere the eye fell was a riot of gorgeous colors, complete with a stream flowing though it all. As the hike unfolded the riot of color would be a constant theme.

We ascended upon swaths of open rock and autumn gave way to winter progressively as the rock became slick with ice. Dustings of snow gradually morphed into a carpet 6 inches deep with trees that were completely encrusted. The brilliant sun turned the snow into rain under blue skies and we became soaked. There were only three colors: white, green and blue.

We zig-zagged from swaths of ice-covered rock through thick and gnarly woods and switched from one ridge to another as the adventure unfolded. On the final viewing area it was as if we could reach out and touch the people sunning themselves on the summit. I was freezing but fresh mitts, noon-day sun, a 2nd wool hat and churning legs kept me comfortable as we dropped into a final col then ascended to the summit.

We immediately stripped off our soaked clothing and changed into fresh layers while the perfectly warm and dry sun bathers looked on curiously. For a half-hour we sat there and savored the incredibly rich and varied experience we had just had. We hiked out to New Russia, which was amazing in its own right.

Trap Dyke conditions for Oct/Nov

Anyone know what conditions are like on Trap Dyke, now that the snow and ice have started? Is Trap Dyke slide more of an ice climb or can it be done in reasonable safety with crampons only? Not enough ice to warrant just boots?


Winter camping suggestions?

I haven't done much winter camping, but I'm looking to change that with some new equipment I just purchased (0 degree bag and hot tent, for starters).
I wanted to start off slow, dragging a pulk sled into some places where (A) I can get my car pretty close and (B) maybe piggybacking on some snowmobile trails to make the drag a bit easier. I've done some tests with snowshoes and powder and it's like dragging cinderblocks. Does anyone who does this sort of thing have any good suggestions? I know that'd kind of vague, but a fer-instance of what I'm looking for would be the forked lake area, where you can park at the end where they stop plowing the seasonal road and then wander around from there.

Playing Out A Hunch

Not really a trip report but just a few photos to share.. You gotta love it when you pour over a few topo maps looking for someplace new to explore, and have an off-trail hunch that turns out to be true...

Some pretty sweet views only a 10 minute bushwhack from the state trail...










Hey well what do you know, a stashed Grumman (with no paddles)...





Do you see what I see?




Yes, I see a paddle...




It worked out ok...




Sunset was pretty awesome...



Campsite wasn’t bad either...







Morning was pretty nice also...









Morning pano...



Any killer reserve-able Lean To sites?

I'm looking for some help in planning a trip next summer for our annual ADK pilgrimage. We've got a bigger size group (8-9), and I'm looking to secure a Lean To. I know most aren't reserve-able, but it would save us a bunch of time.

Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance!

Điểm qua một số cách dạy con ngoan mẹ hãy tham khảo

Điểm qua một số cách dạy con ngoan mẹ hãy tham khảo

Cách dạy con ngoan từ bé luôn là một trong những nội dung quan trọng được nhiều bậc cha mẹ quan tâm. Vì những biểu hiện ngang bướng của bé sẽ càng trở nên nghiêm trọng hơn, nếu như cha mẹ không rèn giũa trẻ ngay từ nhỏ.

Vậy bố mẹ nên làm gì để vẫn dạy con tốt mà không cần dùng biện pháp mạnh. Dưới đây Elite Symbol sẽ cùng bạn Điểm qua một số cách dạy con ngoan mẹ hãy tham khảo. Mời bạn cùng tìm hiểu những Chia sẻ kinh nghiệm nuôi con khỏe dạy con ngoan này.

1. Bố mẹ nên biết cách kiểm soát cảm xúc của bản thân

Những đứa trẻ được ví như một tờ giấy trắng, và chính bố mẹ sẽ là người bắt đầu những nét vẽ đầu tiên cho con. Vì thế bố mẹ cần nhớ một điều quan trọng chính là không hành động nóng vội khi đang tức giận hay chán nản. Hãy đợi đến khi bạn bình tĩnh hơn và làm chủ được tình hình mới đưa ra quyết định.


Điểm qua một số cách dạy con ngoan mẹ hãy tham khảo

Bởi những điều bạn thể hiện con sẽ bắt chước theo, lâu dần sẽ tạo ra tính cách không tốt ở trẻ. Bên cạnh đó, khi đối mặt với những rắc rối của con, ba mẹ cần học cách kiềm chế, giữ lý trí tỉnh táo.

3. Chỉ giúp đỡ con khi thực sự cần thiết

Chỉ giúp đỡ con khi thực sự cần thiết cũng là một điều quan trọng mà bố mẹ cần nhớ. Rất nhiều bậc phụ huynh làm tất cả mọi thứ để giúp đỡ con, nhưng điều này lại tạo cho con thói quen ỷ lại và nhút nhát.

Hãy tạo thói quen tự lập, lấy ví dụ như việc tập ngồi bô, bạn sẽ giúp con ở những lần đầu, và những lần sau đó, chúng sẽ tự tin hơn và có thể tự làm. Lúc này bạn có thể tạo thêm động lực cho con bằng những lời khen, những câu khích lệ. Tạo thói quen và tự lập rất quan trọng giúp hình thành tính cách sau này.

4. Hướng dẫn trẻ cách sửa sai

Khi con làm sai việc gì đó, chúng đều có những lí do riêng. Lúc đó, điều bạn cần quan sát xem có phải trẻ đang cáu vì một lí do nào đó không. Sau đó, hãy trò chuyện nhẹ nhàng với con để tìm hiểu nguyên nhân hoặc cho trẻ thời gian riêng để giải phóng cảm xúc bị kìm nén. Sau khi trẻ thỏa mãn, chúng sẽ hiểu ra và dừng những hành vi sai trái. Hãy hướng dẫn nội dung này thật sớm để con ít phạm sai lầm nhất. Khi lớn hơn, chúng sẽ học được cách bình tĩnh.


Hãy đồng hành cùng con để giúp đỡ chúng khi cần

5. Bố mẹ đừng bao giờ tiết kiệm lời yêu thương với con cái

Bố mẹ nên nhớ một điều rằng trẻ con cần và xứng đáng được nghe lời yêu thương từ bố mẹ hàng ngày. Những đứa trẻ nhận được những lời yêu thương thường xuyên từ chính những người thân trong gia đình, chúng sẽ sống rất tình cảm và không ngại việc bày tỏ yêu thương đến bố mẹ và những người khác.

6. Hãy thường xuyên tâm sự với con

Khi những đứa trẻ dần lớn lên, những lời tâm sự cũng thưa dần. Đây chính là điều thiệt thòi đối với con. Bạn đã từng nghĩ, nếu bạn mệt, con đến bên và ôm lấy bạn rồi hỏi hạn bạn sẽ thấy vui vẻ, dễ chịu hơn nhiều đúng không nào? Vậy tại sao, bố mẹ không làm điều ngược lại với con mình, hãy luôn tạo ra không gian ấm áp và cảm giác tuyệt vời cho con khi được ở gần bố mẹ.

Trên đây là Điểm qua một số cách dạy con ngoan mẹ hãy tham khảo mà trung tâm Elite Symbol muốn giới thiệu đến bạn.

Brook Trout Lake

I was wondering if anyone might have some input on how to get to the trail head for Brook Trout Lake if you were coming in from Wakely Damn Recreational Area/Cedar River Road near the golf course as opposed to the other entrance near Limekiln lake. I have been told that the ride is about 18 miles down the dirt road but I am not sure if there are any particular turnoffs along the away or how well marked it is. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Off-season camping options after Labor Day at state campgrounds, etc?

Does anyone know the current standing on the topic of off-season camping after Labor Day at state campgrounds, etc?

(Also, does anyone know if there are any private campgrounds open after Labor Day?)

We have a truck camper and would like to know if it is allowed at any state campgrounds off season. (We do not need water or bathroom facilities as we have holding tanks and would carry our own water.)

(Fish Creek is no longer officially open into Nov and everything looks like it closes up by Oct., hence the question as to what the current options are as the original thread was 17 years old!!!!)

We are aware that the camping options would be primitive camping and self-contained - but being self contained and a semi low footprint, we like to hike - and hence, knowing where we could camp after Labor Day would be very helpful and allow us to camp "off season" and enjoy the many trails that exist across the great state of NY.

Also, would be interested in knowing of any off-season camping opportunities in other areas of NY (as well as southern/western VT and MA as well if anyone knows of such.)

And I guess the question actually might become - Where can one camp/park overnight legally in the ADKs if they are self-contained want to sleep and hike/ski in the ADKs off-season into late Fall/Winter/early Spring?

Thank you!

Center, Clear & John Pond, SPWA, 16 Oct, 2019

On Wednesday, I made my annual fall pilgrimage to visit my daughter at school in the St. Lawrence valley. Tredhed accompanied me this time as we had some business in Saranac Lake this morning. I've had this NW corner of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area on my radar for some time and this was a perfect opportunity to scratch an old itch. Leaving the Hamilton County Mosquito Preserve rather early, we arrived at the Indian Lake area remote trailhead around 8:30.



We decided to do the loop hike clockwise this morning for no other reason than our last leg from John Pond to the trailhead was supposed to be flat. First, we backtracked a hundred yards down the woods road to Wilderness Rd.



We walked the 300 yds. up the road until we came to the trailhead for Clear Pond.



We headed up the trail which was liberally marked with yellow disks.



About half way to Clear Pond, we noticed a blue disked trail heading off to the north in the direction of Center Pond. We hadn't planned on this being an option, as the trail doesn't show up on any maps. Figuring it can't be too far to Center Pond, we struck out down the trail, crossing the outlet of Clear Pond within a few minutes.



After 10 minutes of walking, the trail came close enough to Center Pond for us to walk out on the bog mat and admire the scenery.



Backtracking 10 minutes to the loop trail, we then continues the remaining half-mile to the red disked Clear Pond spur. A hundred yards later, we were at the designated campsite on Clear Pond with a nice view of Bullhead Mt. and looming storm clouds to the southeast.



We checked out the cool rocks at the outlet and the small flotilla of duct taped john boats and then set off down the loop trail for our next destination. On imagery, I noticed a rocky area on a small hill to the east of Clear Pond. I've seen dozens of trip reports and blogs about the John Pond ledges, but none about this little hill. Now, I know why.

We easily accomplished the short 1/4 mile bushwhack up the tiny 150' high hill and easily found the open rock. The problem was that there were no views; the trees were too tall and the hill wasn't tall enough. I did enjoy the delicate carpet of moss and this lonely red pine seedling.



After sneaking some peaks through the trees at Bullhead Mt., we headed back down the hill to the loop trail.



As we approached John Pond, the hardwoods gave way to some beautiful red pine (source of the sapling on the small hill?). Next, we took the red disked spur trail to the lean-to site. The lean-to was well situated back from the shore of the pond and was immaculate.



After a small snack and signing the lean-to log book, we explored the shore of John Pond. We'll get to those ledges some day...



Heading out of John Pond, we passed the Puffer Pond cut-off trail and then an old foundation. As we crossed the John Pond outlet, the trees changed again. This time, white pine was the dominant species. A short while later, we came to the much publicized graveyard. It was sad to see the graves of 14 yr. old Eliza and 9 year old Peter, but very cool that they're not forgotten.



After paying our respects, it was time to walk out the 1.5 miles back to the parking lot. Once again, the trees changed, this time to white spruce as the trail paralleled the John Pond outlet marshes. The miles went by quickly on this very flat old road.



In no time, we were back to the vehicle and ready to continue our journey up to St. Larry's valley. We saw a lot of stuff on this loop hike. The side trips were enjoyable and the terrain wasn't difficult at all. Next time, we'll hit the John Pond ledges and I might rethink that last statement. Either way, this is a neat area to explore and I'm glad Tredhed and I had a rain-free morning to do it.

Lake Lila-Uber busy?

Got a call last night from my former hiking partner. He has had some surgeries over the past few years and not able to go.

Well he got a bug in his butt and all of a sudden wants to go this weekend. He is in good health and should be fine but he hasn't slapped a pack on in awhile so I want to keep the mileage relatively low.

Our MO typically revolved around a hike into a lake, set up base camp and have a nice side trip, (to another body of water to fish, a nearby mountain, etc).

Of course it is always up to me to plan route, menu, shop ...(did I say he was a friend???).

So I was thinking the 3 mile hike into the Lake Lila Lean to might make a nice trip//Frederica Mountain etc. I have a tent, he has a hammock so we can use a primitive site but I think he'd be comfortable during the late afternoon/evening at a lean to.

I know it is wildly popular during the more temperate season, think it will be mobbed this weekend? Supposed to be a nice weekend. Heck I might even carry the Hornbeck...



Any other ideas?

T-Lake Lean-to?

I was planning on spending a couple of nights in the T-Lake Lean-to near Piseco Lake. October 25-26. What should I expect? Busy? Rowdy? Empty?

I plan on bringing alternative shelter but was wondering about the overall status of this L-T.


Wedding Venues

Hey everybody,

My newly minted fiancé and I are in the search for wedding venues. The Adirondacks mean a ton to both of us and we would really like to tie the knot in the park. Does anyone have any recommended wedding venues within the blue line?
