SUPERAntiSpyware Releases New Portable Scanner

SUPERAntiSpyware.com releases new portable anti-spyware/anti-malware scanner that will clean your system when other security products can’t.

EUGENE, OR (January 19, 2010) – SUPERAntiSpyware.com, a Pacific Northwest developer of state-of-the-art security software, has released a new, portable version of its popular SUPERAntiSpyware anti-spyware/anti-malware solution.

“With the increasing complexity and variations of spyware and malware we are seeing, the infections often prevent all scanners from installing or working – we had to come up with a solution,” said Nick Skrepetos, founder of SUPERAntiSpyware.com. “The portable scanner, which can operate on highly infected systems, is effective as it does not need to be installed, does not require an Internet connection and can run from a USB drive.”

The new portable scanner harnesses the same powerful anti-spyware engine as the Professional Edition of SUPERAntiSpyware and references a spyware definition database that is updated at least once per day. It is free for personal use, and technician and corporate licenses are available. SUPERAntiSpyware Portable can be downloaded from http://www.superantispyware.com/portable

SUPERAntiSpyware, in use by nearly 25 million users worldwide, is an innovative product that protects users from Spyware, Malware, Adware, Trojans, Rootkits, Homepage Hi-Jackers, Worms, Dialers and Parasites. SUPERAntiSpyware focuses on detecting hard to remove spyware which other products often miss, or are unable to safely detect and remove.

In addition to the new portable scanner, SUPERAntiSpyware.com offers an online scanner and two versions of SUPERAntiSpyware. The SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition, a 100% free product, will detect and remove potentially harmful software from a user’s computer. In addition, the Professional version provides real-time protection against the installation of new threats, scheduled scanning and removal of threats as well as additional protective features not available in the free edition.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free and Professional Editions will detect and remove the latest rogue/fake anti-spyware products as well as the toughest of spyware infections such as Virut, Vundo, Rustock and well over 1,200,000 other harmful application components. SUPERAntiSpyware definitions are updated daily to protect users against the latest zero-day threats.

SUPERAntiSpyware is used by computer technicians worldwide to clean end user systems at companies such as Dell, HP, and AT&T. SUPERAntiSpyware is also recommended on popular security forums such as MajorGeeks.com, Wilders Security and thousands more.

SUPERAntiSpyware Professional is priced at $29.95 for the general public and includes updates for one year. SUPERAntiSpyware is available for immediate download from www.superantispyware.com. SUPERAntiSpyware is supported by Windows 2000, XP Home/Pro, Media Center, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista and Windows 7.

Founded in 2004, SUPERAntiSpyware.com is led by Nick Skrepetos, a 30 year industry veteran, who is also the creator of the popular SUPERAdBlocker and SUPERFileRecover series of products.

quote of the day

In hacker culture, a script kiddie, or skiddie, occasionally script bunny, skid, script kitty, script-running juvenile (SRJ), or similar, is a derogatory term used to describe those who use scripts or programs developed by others to attack computer systems and networks. It is generally assumed that script kiddies are juveniles who lack the ability to write sophisticated hacking programs or exploits on their own, and that their objective is to try to impress their friends or gain credit in computer-enthusiast communities.

The returned metainformation in the entity-header is not the definitive set as available from the origin server, but is gathered from a local or a third-party copy.

204 No Content

The server has fulfilled the request but does not need to return an entity-body, and might want to return updated meta information.

205 Reset Content

The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset the document view which caused the request to be sent.

206 Partial Content

The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource.

300 Multiple Choices

The requested resource corresponds to any one of a set of representations, each with its own specific location, and agent- driven negotiation information (section 12) is being provided so that the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation and redirect its request to that location.

301 Moved Permanently

The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD use one of the returned URIs.

302 Found

The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.

303 See Other

The response to the request can be found under a different URI and SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource.

304 Not Modified

If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code.

305 Use Proxy

The requested resource MUST be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field.

307 Temporary Redirect

The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.

401 Unauthorized

The request requires user authentication.

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI.

405 Method Not Allowed

The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI.

406 Not Acceptable

The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.

407 Proxy Authentication Required

This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the client must first authenticate itself with the proxy.

408 Request Timeout

The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time.

412 Precondition Failed

The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server.

413 Request Entity Too Large

The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process.

414 Request-URI Too Long

The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret.

415 Unsupported Media Type

The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.

416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

A server SHOULD return a response with this status code if a request included a Range request-header field, and none of the range-specifier values in this field overlap the current extent of the selected resource, and the request did not include an If-Range request-header field.

417 Expectation Failed

How to change the hostname in Ubuntu

We are going to use nano to edit the file.
as always sudo if you’re not root

Lets update;

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

Now install nano

apt-get install nano

how to use nano?
CTRL+o: this will save the file
CTRL+x: this will exit the file
CTRL+w: this will allow you to enter a phrase to search the file
CTRL+k: this will allow you to cut 1 or more lines of text
CTRL+u: this will allow you to uncut lines of text that were cut using CTRL k (similar to pasting text)
CTRL+v: this will advance the file to the next page
CTRL+y: this will move the file to the previous page
CTRL+t: this will run spellcheck on the file

Now change hostname in Ubuntu or any Debian variant Linux, modify the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts.

sudo nano /etc/hostname

Change the old hostname to a new hostname.

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Change the oldhostname to a new hostname,

000.00.0.00             newhostname

After changing the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, you need to restart the hostname service duh..

sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh stop

sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start

Is it working? why not find out;log out,login, SSH and type

hostname

Best of luck!

What is Linux?

What is Linux?


The Kernel

The Kernel is the “core” of a Linux operating system. Without it you have a box with useless hardware. The purpose of the Linux Kernel is to manage the hardware, memory, system and device drivers, etc..

Without getting to technical, if you took a working version of any Linux distribution and deleted your /boot directory (were the kernel resides on your directory), upon reboot you wouldn’t get passed the boot loader. You would just stare at a blank screen OOPS!. So the kernel is most important piece of software on a Linux machine.

Everything Else

Most people, when talking about Linux are talking about the whole suite of programs that most distributions use in order to productively use Linux. Now ‘productively’ is a subjective term. For most desktop users, you want to be able to navigate your computer in a point and click manner, but Linux can run purely from a command prompt. This is the preferred way for system administrators. They do not need a robust GUI to set up a web server. The server will work with or without the point and click interface. As I am writing this tutorial, I am running Ubuntu with the fluxbox window manager and using gedit to write this. For you, you might choose a friendlier desktop environment like KDE or GNOME

This is the greatest thing about Linux, it’s flexibility. With Windows you are forced to use their desktop environment and a lot of other programs. With Linux, you can become the designer. You can pick and choose how you want your system to look, act or behave. All without breaking any license agreements.

If you are reading this, maybe you are not running Linux or are thinking about testing it out. So lets continue with a basic system setup:

For the sake of simplicity, I will consolidate Linux into three different levels:

The Command Line

When you install Linux with just the basic essentials, you will get a text-based login prompt. Once you login you are greeted with a command prompt:

[root@localhost#/home/root]

This will look different depending on your system, but it’s a basic prompt to tell you that you are logged into the system and the system is waiting for a command.

This mode acts like MS-DOS but is more robust. This environment is well suited for system administrators who run computer ’services’ (like a web server)

X Window System and Window Managers

The graphical user interface (GUI) is the point and click environment most Windows users are most familiar with. In Linux, the GUI can be so many things, you are not forced to use any particular program.

It all starts with a program called the ‘X Window System’ or simply ‘X’. ‘X’ is the first program that starts in order to control any input device (keyboard, mouse, etc…) and the output (computer monitor). You can run X by itself, but it won’t look pretty. You will get a basic grid like background and you will be able to move the mouse around. That’s about it.

In order to create ‘windows’ and better manipulate your environment, you need what is called a ‘window manager’. Besides stating the obvious, a window manager allows you to move windows around, minimize them to a taskbar, etc… It all depends on which window manager you use. You can run Linux quite well just using a window manager. In fact, most power users prefer this method.

Some popular windows managers are: fluxbox, blackbox, WindowMaker, FVWM, FVWM95

The Desktop Environment

A desktop environment is a suite a programs that run on top of X to create a user friendly system. This is by far the closest you can get to Windows without using Windows. Their are three basic desktop environments:

1. KDE – If you want a fully functional Windows replacement, KDE is a great choice.

2. GNOME – Built for speed and simplicity This desktop environment is better suited for power users.

3. XFCE – If your system runs on older hardware, or need to conserve system resources, XFCE is a great alternativeto GNOME

You have reached the monthly cap

Oh boy!

Yeah i done it reached the Pandora monthly cap..

Screen1

And heres the last..

Well what now!

Okay so i might go back to AOL radio or something …? i love pandora but come on,i know you guys done alot of fighting to keep pandora uo but o well $1 is nothing and isn’t alot but why pay when you can get it for free somewhere else ,right?.. not only after using Pandora for about 7+ months i got sick of hearing the same song over and over anyways back to work ;)

Mario will jump, attack Goombas and Koopa Troopas, and rescue Princess Peach…all for a good cause.

A group of gamers from Lafayette, Indiana have announced their second Mario Marathon in benefit of Child’s Play, an organization funded by the creators of Penny Arcade that brings toys and games to hospitalized children worldwide.

A team of three players will play through 25 years worth of Mario games across all Nintendo consoles. The event will start on July 10 and will end on July 15. The organizers hope that this event is bigger than least year’s, which gathered over $12,000 dollars for Child’s Play and lasted 57 hours. Viewers also have the opportunity to interact with the team and win Mario-related prizes.

The event is being broadcast online at www.mariomarathon.com, and will start on July 10 at 9:00 AM EDT.

Pedro Hernandez,

Pandora has a cap 40 hours each month

I just got this email from  Tim Westergren the founder of pandora 3:32 PM MST

What is Pandora ?

Pandora is an automated Internet radio service created by the Music Genome Project. Users enter a song or artist that they enjoy, and the service responds by playing selections that are musically similar.

Heres the E-mail.

Hi, it’s Tim -

I hope this email finds you enjoying a great summer Pandora soundtrack.

I’m writing with some important news. Please forgive the lengthy email; it requires some explaining.

First, I want to let you know that we’ve reached a resolution to the calamitous Internet radio royalty ruling of 2007. After more than two precarious years, we are finally on safe ground with a long-term agreement for survivable royalty rates – thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our listeners who voiced an absolute avalanche of support for us on Capitol Hill. We are deeply thankful.

While we did the best we could to lower the rates, we are going to have to make an adjustment that will affect about 10% of our users who are our heaviest listeners. Specifically, we are going to begin limiting listening to 40 hours per month on the web. Because we have to pay royalty fees per song and per listener, it makes very heavy listeners hard to support on advertising alone. Most listeners will never hit this cap, but it seems that you might.

We hate the idea of capping anyone’s usage, so we’ve been working to devise an alternative for listeners like you. We’ve come up with two solutions and we hope that one of them will work for you:

  • Your first option is to continue listening just as you have been and, if and when you reach the 40 hour limit in a given month, to pay just $0.99 for unlimited listening for the rest of that month. This isn’t a subscription. You can pay by credit card and your card will be charged for just that one month. You’ll be able to keep listening as much as you’d like for the remainder of the month. We hope this is relatively painless and affordable – the same price as a single song download.

  • Your second option is to upgrade to our premium version called Pandora One. Pandora One costs $36 per year. In addition to unlimited monthly listening and no advertising, Pandora One offers very high quality 192 Kbps streams, an elegant desktop application that eliminates the need for a browser, personalized skins for the Pandora player, and a number of other features: http://www.pandora.com/pandora_one.

If neither of these options works for you, I hope you’ll keep listening to the free version – 40 hours each month will go a long way, especially if you’re really careful about hitting pause when you’re not listening. We’ll be sure to let you know if you start getting close to the limit, and we’ve created a counter you can access to see how many hours you’ve already used each month.

We’ll be implementing this change starting this month (July), I’d welcome your feedback and suggestions. The combination of our usage patterns and the “per song per listener” royalty cost creates a financial reality that we can’t ignore…but we very much want you to continue listening for years to come.

Please don’t hesitate to email me back with your thoughts.

Sincerely,

Windows 7 pre-ordering increasingly popular

Whether for the limited-time savings or an eager need to ditch Vista, preordering of Windows 7 has been immensely popular at certain online retailers. Amazon.com in particular has handled quite a number of orders placed for the operating system, with the majority of people buying the $49 upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium. As it stands, the package is ranked as number one at the retailer’s electronics products section, beating all other software and electronic gadgets on the site.

Microsoft’s pre-retail success with Windows 7 is not exclusive to the US either, with several reports around the web suggesting that demand has exceeded the company’s expected supply in Japan. As far as ad campaigns go, Microsoft hasn’t played up Windows 7 nearly as much as they did Vista, so why the demand? – Especially after such a short time since Vista’s release. Whatever each individual’s reason for upgrading is, it seems Windows 7 is off to a good start but can it keep it?  That is the question people want find out.

From Friday through July 11, consumers in the U.S. will be able to buy an upgrade copy of Windows 7 Home premium for $49 or Windows 7 Professional for $99. That offer is good for both XP and Windows Vista PCs, regardless of whether someone has been trying out the pre-release version of the operating system. That matches the details in a memo from Best Buy that leaked earlier this month.

When boxed copies of Windows 7 go on sale on October 22, Microsoft plans to charge $119 for Home Premium, $199 for Professional and $219 for Ultimate. The Home Premium upgrade is down $40 from the product’s original price, although the Vista product had already gotten a price cut along the way. The Professional and Ultimate versions are priced similar to where Microsoft was with Vista. The upgrade prices apply to those moving from a previous version of Windows to Windows 7, but only those from Windows Vista will be able to upgrade without doing a clean installation of the product.

The full versions of Windows 7–the editions for those without a copy of Windows–will be priced at $199 for Home Premium, $299 for Professional and $319 for Ultimate. The Ultimate and Professional editions are again on par with their Vista counterparts, while Home Premium is down from the $239 that Microsoft had charged with Vista. Microsoft also plans to offer the operating system in an easier-to-open box.

Of course, even at the preorder price, Microsoft still finds itself undercut by Apple, which has said it will only charge $29 for Leopard users moving to Snow Leopard (those on older versions of the Mac OS will have to buy a full-boxed copy combining Leopard and Snow Leopard).

For some of your favorite third-party Twitter services not designed to handle such a case, the sequence will suddenly turn into negative numbers. At this point, they are very likely to malfunction or crash.

Conficker

Remember that virus. to be honest I think this is very interesting.
There has been viruses out there like this before like the y2k and I love you virus.
This seems to be more real why would Microsoft put a bounty on heads if it wasn’t real.

New rumors are coming that the creator is someone in china
and they are controlling the us power grid.

this seems kind of a far reach but when you think about it if china was to control the us power grid
they could shut everything down
tech head Leo Laporte thinks this to. Any more reason to think this is true.
this could be very well happening but we will see what happens I guess

Disgusting Dominos People and Youtube

If anyone said to you the Internet wasn’t powerful then of course there wrong
and you should put some reality in there head.

If you haven’t already seen this you tube video of the domino’s pizza workers
Then where have you been.
this shows the real good use of the Internet.

Basically the you tube community helped to bring the two workers down who where
putting food where it shouldn’t be.
The store was shut down and sanitized and the workers where fired

It was really nice to have the president of domino’s thank the you tube community in there efforts.
They say there doing everything to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
but personally I will probably never eat there again but I rarely eat there anyway.
