Virus Removal Help:: New Threat My Security Shield (Rogue Anti Virus)
I don't know where to post this. This seems to be the right spot.

There is a new threat out. It is a rogue anti virus call My Security Shield.
It gives you false positives claiming that your system is infected when it reality it is infecting for system.

I believe it is a Trojan variant or malicious program.

Here is the link to seek more info about the threat. Malwarebytes Forum Also An image of what the rogue anti virus looks like.

Also this threat will replace your Host File I recommend backing up your good Host File now. Also if you don't have hijackthis and Malwarebytes I recommend downloading them and keep them up to date. Also getting a Custom Host File @ Clicky to help prevent this threat.

Please forward this to friends and colleagues.

Delivering on a promise the company made back in June, Apple on Wednesday released an update to Safari 5 which turns on extensions support akin to what browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer have been offering for years.

In addition to the debut of these plugins, Apple also plugged several security issues, including a widely publicized flaw in the AutoFill feature that could open up users to information disclosure.

Basic Computer Troubleshooting.::[bug report] New Windows Exploit
Microsoft Windows Shortcut 'LNK' Files Automatic File Execution Vulnerability

To exploit this issue, an attacker must entice an unsuspecting user into viewing an icon of a maliciously crafted shortcut file.

This issue is being exploited in the wild as malware W32.Temphid.

The following exploit is available:
http://www.securityfocus.com/data/vul ... lities/exploits/41732.rar

Last Friday, Microsoft confirmed that attackers can use a malicious shortcut file, identified by the ".lnk" extension, to automatically execute their malware by getting users to view the contents of a folder containing such a shortcut. Malware can also automatically execute on many systems when a USB drive is plugged into the PC.

All versions of Windows, including the just-released beta of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), as well as the recently retired Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000, contain the bug.

Sony Vaio Laptop Recall [by dante]

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:44:33 -0000

Basic Computer Troubleshooting.::[bug report] Sony Vaio Laptop Recall

Sony Vaio Laptop Recall:
The recall is for Sony Vaio laptops with model numbers beginning in VPCF11 and VPCWW2. The devices were typically purchased between January, 2010 and April, 2010 and sold for prices ranging from 800 to 1500 dollars.

Here's a quick breakdown of everything you need to know to figure out whether you're affected by the recall and how to fix your laptop.

How many Sony Vaio laptops are affected?

Sony says that about 535,000 laptops worldwide and 259,000 laptops in the U.S. are affected by the issue.

Which model numbers are affected?

Sony Vaio laptops with the VPCF11 and VPCCW2 notebook series are affected by the overheating issue. You can find a complete list of specific model numbers within each notebook series on Sony's Website .

What's the worst case scenario for laptops that overheat?

The overheating issue has the potential to be a burn hazard for users; however, no injuries have so far been reported. Sony has received 30 reports of deformed keyboards and laptop casings because of the issue. In other words, parts of the laptop melt.

What should I do if my computer overheated already?

You can give Sony a call at (866) 496-7669, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission would also like to hear about your problem. You can fill out an incident report on the Commission's Website .

How do I fix my computer?

You need to download a BIOS firmware update, but before you do that you need to know your computer's model number and your operating system type.

How do I find my model number?

The easiest way to find your model number is to look for a small label on the frame of your notebook screen or near the hinge between the screen and the keyboard. The label should be the same color as your computer, with contrasting letter colors. You can also look for a white product label on the bottom of your laptop. Sony warns that this label could be placed anywhere on the bottom of your device, so you may have to look closely to find it. The tag should look something like this:

Sony warns you not to use the model information found on the grey product label on the bottom of your notebook. This label does not have the information you're looking for. For more information about finding your product label check out Sony's eSupport page .

If you can't find your label, another option is to let Sony auto-detect your model number. To do this, go to Sony's eSupport Website using Internet Explorer, and click on the "Detect my model" button on the right side of the page. You'll then download a small program that can determine your model number. If all else fails, you can call Sony technical assistance at (866) 496-7669.

32- or 64-bit?

It appears that all the affected computers should be running Windows 7, but if you have a VPCCW2 device you are either running Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit. You can determine which version you have by either checking the label on the system disks that came with your notebook or click on Start>Control Panel>System and Maintenance>System. This will display a variety of information about your system including your installed memory (RAM), processor and system type.

What's the remedy?

The overheating issue can be fixed with a BIOS firmware update, according to Sony. You can download the update here from Sony's Website , but you need to make sure you pick the correct update for your model number and operating system type. So read carefully.

Precautions before you install

You can download and run the update just like you would any other program download.First of all, make sure your computer is plugged in while you download and install the BIOS update. If you don't plug it in you risk bricking your notebook should your battery power fail in the middle of the update. You should also make sure you backup all your files and folders just in case you run into difficulties.

Basic Computer Troubleshooting.::[fixed] New Adobe Exploit
I have also found the "authply.dll" in my Adobe flash player directory. Which I have denied access for both in my Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash for the system, administrator, and My account. Both The reader and flash still work. I am posting this to let people know to look into their Adobe Flash directory as well if they wish to also if Dante thinks it's a good approach (this is his forum I can not give out advice without his approval) in C:\Programs also maybe in the "User" account folder under the appropriate account names (C:\Documents & Settings\User\Application Data for XP) (C:\Users\your account name\AppData\Local for Vista and maybe for Win7) also the "default" user account. Also under Vista look in the "ProgramData" folder. Also in Vista open any window using the search feature type in "authply.dll to look for that file, if it is in your system it will find the file in all directories if you do not want to rummage through your C: drive. This is just advice :D

Google 800 Number

(I just received this from a buddy, and thought I'd share)

Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this!
Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411 or 1-800-466-4411.

This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number.

I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed (1-800-goog411). The voice at the other end says, " say the name of the business and the 'City & State.' I say, "Firewheel Golf Course ' Garland , Texas .' He says, 'Connecting' and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free! Works on cell and landline phones.

Simple Hosts File Auto-Updater [by dante]

Fri, 14 May 2010 14:48:34 -0000

Basic Computer Troubleshooting.:: Simple Hosts File Auto-Updater

This was created by a Myspace user:

Much thanks!

"Simple Hosts file updater script"

First task:

Download the attached file: "hosts-script".

You'll need "True-Crypt" to open it as the vbs script sets off alarms on all antivirus programs.

(Password is "infernallogic")

You'll also need to disable your antivirus program to install this.

Don't sweat it, it's perfectly safe.

Now follow the instructions in the "readme.txt" file.

Double click the schedule.vbs file and enjoy the automatic benefits of updating your hosts file once a month.

I have tested this and it works like a charm.

*tech info*

Hosts file is from HERE! and full information is available on their site, regarding the hosts file itself.

I recommend this site to everyone, as it's the best, most comprehensive hosts listing that I've found.

Enjoy!

Virus Removal Help:: People you try to help not following simple instructions
I tired to help some one with viruses, malware, trojans or what not that they have on their system. I told them to use "Malwarebytes" They siad it found tons of items (thats good) now they said their system is running better.

I told them we are not done yet I told them to go to my Google group and download HijackThis do a system scan save a logfile so they can copy & paste the information to me via my forum blah blah don't remove anything until I tell them what to remove blah blah (Us virus removal gurus know this all to well).

They understood that they could not remove anything until I told them what to remove that doing so could make their OS system useless.

What they couldn't understand is how to start a scan using HJT save a log file and how to copy and paste the info to a forum. I explained it plain English in the simplest way I could also maked snapshots to show how to use HJT saving the logfile copying & pasting the info also how to post it to my forum.

What the noobs don't understand is is how to follow instructions to the letter, if they are not going to follow instruction they are wasting my (our time) time the help we offer people is free at least they could do is follow our instructions to the letter they have no clue following our instructions is the only way to go to guarantee that their system will be cured.

They have no clue the things we learned or know about viruses, computer tweaks, tricks, and troubleshooting isn't easy we weren't born with this knowledge we had to learn it, read tons of material, hours of trial and error, also some of us went to school for this whom might of paid tons of money at least they can do (the noobs) is pay attention.

Anyone else experience this who try to help others?
