Well, Today is the craziest day for Bitdefender. This looks like a climax of the movie iRobot. Thousands of windows users install bitdefender for securing their machine. But, Unfortunately a lame update file from bitdefender started killing itself(literally).

Today, All Windows7 64bit users received a threat alert called “Trojan.Fakealert.5″.

And it detected all DLL files / EXEs of my windows machine as a trojan and started deleting them. You know how frustrates it? I really have a paid account for Bit Defender Internet Security 2010. I ignored my nerd friend’s words about installing a 3000 days crack for bitdefender and I called myself as “I dont want to steal someone’s work”.

But today, My taskmanager, explorer & almost everything got quarantine. I didnt paid to bitdefender for this lame mistake.

What is the cause of Trojan.FakeAlert.5?

There was a wrong update from bitdefender caused this issue.

How to fixTrojan.FakeAlert.5?

Disable the realtime protection

Antivirus -> Shield -> Disable Real-time protection.

Do not run any scans. Disable if there is any scheduled scans.

Try to do a “System Restore” or restore the “Quarantine” files.

There a big thread at bitdefender forums with thousands of active frustrated users(including me) shouting bitdefender for this lame problem.

Note: My friend & Secure Slash co-editor Mr. PaimPozhil said to me that, There is a “real” trojan in that same name. So, Do not just disable bitdefender!  Scan your computer using “SpyBot Search & Destroy” it will find the exact trojan alone as well. Thanks Paim

While DeVaan is adamant that 95% of PCs now have good driver support, Microsoft doesn’t want a repeat of that experience when Windows 7 comes around, and thus constantly emphasised the need to cooperate with hardware builders. “Ecosystem readiness is a super-important part of the lessons learned,” DeVaan said.

That may be slightly easier because Windows 7 represents a less radical evolution for hardware companies. “In Vista, we changed a lot of our device driver models and other things at low levels of the system,” DeVaan said. “For Windows 7, we have the tenet that if something works on Vista, it really should work on Windows 7.”

Indeed, while Windows 7 has an enhanced driver installation model that is designed to simplify installation, many of its features are implemented via XML and other information stored in what’s known as the Device Display Object. In theory, hardware manufacturers can simply add those components to their existing Vista driver rather than rewriting the entire code base.

However, the window of opportunity (ahem) for relatively private testing won’t be wide. Windows vice president Steven Sinofsky confirmed that Microsoft hopes to have a widespread release of an official Windows 7 beta in early 2009. Although widely available both via its PDC and WinHEC appearances and through numerous illegal torrent sites, the current Windows 7 release is the internal M3 candidate, which is missing many new UI features and isn’t being touted as feature-complete, but rather as a pre-beta. (Most of the demos at WinHEC, incidentally, were on later internal builds.)

Sunday:

One day a lamer installed his Vista Ultimate x86 just after adding 1Gig DDR ram. He noticed that installation was smooth and OEM Emulator also went nice. His installation passed in “Genuine” check too. Great!!

Monday:

I hate installating OS in my live machine. It will lead us to install all of our applications, Firewall, Antivirus (I dont use “total security”, A primary Firewall only software is 5 times better than ALL Security shits here software). But Mr.Lamer is eager to download all of his day to day applications like (MSOffice, Winamp, WinRar, RoadRash, VCD Cutter, Yahoo Messenger, uTorrent & etc).

Tuesday:

Everything was smooth. But, Suddenly he got Sky and some birds on monitor. LOL Yes, Blue Screen!

It says some xxx_POOL_Error & Memory dump … He dont know why.

Wednesday:

He become very sad, Yes He already spent 5 days for downloading Vista from a ThePirateBay torrent. He started blaming Vista, Microsoft & almost all microsoft products. He started explaing his experience with his friend. We know that all lamers has a better lamer as their friends. He too experienced same Sky & Birds problem.

Thursday:

Mr.Lamer heard that most of his friends(ofcourse lamers) blamed vista. So he decided to go back to Xp Pro.

Friday:
Windows XP Professional – WoW This is what I call stable OS!! Vista Sucks!! Vista Sucks!!

Well, I see lots of my classmates still blaming Vista.

How not to be a Lamer?

First Understand what is happening inside your hardware & software.

First of all they have to understand onething that, Latest version is always better than older versions.
No matter what powerful Processor you use. But You must need 2GB minimum ram.
40% of RAM comes with “Failure” issue. If you are inserting two rams in your mobo then both of their FSB must be same.

If you use 333mhz & 800mhz rams then you may expect “Auto restart” or Blue Screen problems.

Next one is your drivers. If you have installed a new modem, graphics card, audio device recently then you must check its installation status. An unsuccessful installation may lead BlueScreen errors.

Memory & Drivers cause most of the blue screen problems. If you want to go deeper then download & install Win Debug www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/ and analyze your DMP files.

It is an excellent tool to figure out your hardware issues.

Most of the lamers use pirated copy, They deserve 0$ and expects millions. You can find an another big lamer group in Digg.com they usually digg it & comment bad on all microsoft related topics. They thinks themsevels as Linus, Larry Wall, GNU & others. All they are JUST LAMERS.

lamers never analyze things, They stick with Peer group. They never find solutions. If you do the same then do not do it more. Find the solutions & stop being a lamer.

Lamers can not find the exact problem and solution. All they can say is

“I suck last night, Vista does now!”.

Know the basic features of Google’s own browser Chrome here . It may be cool for beginner level internet users and google fans. But I am unable to migrate from FF’s Firebug.

Phpdev is a bundle of PHP/Apache/MySQL/PERL/phpMyAdmin/PHP-GTK preconfigured to run on the win32 platform.

First of all phpdev wants to be installed on the default port of HTTP servers ie port 80.If you where using IIS on port 80, you need to change the IIS port before installing phpdev.

Steps to change the IIS port
1.Click Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services.
2.Expand the console tree to reveal the Default Web Site.
3.Right-click Default Web Site and choose Properties.
4.Enter an unused port number in the TCP Port text box and click OK. (We can chose 8080, but if you’re running Tomcat on 8080, you should enter another unused port.)


5.To verify the changes goto the browser and type “http://localhost:
/yoursite/”

Following are the Steps to install Phpdev:
1.Download phpdev from SourceForge.net to a folder on your computer.
2.Double-click the executable file, phpdev423.exe, to launch the installer.
3.You can change the drive of your wish to install phpdev by the the browser button.

4.Click Install.
5.The installer copies the required files into the installation directory.
6.When the installation is complete, the following command prompt appears.

7.The command prompt instructs you to run the appropriate batch file to start Apache and MySQL. Before you do this, open the file in Notepad (e.g., C:\phpdev\2K-NT-XP-phpdev_start.bat). The Windows NT/2000/XP version contains the following code:
cd c:\phpdev\apache
start apache -k start
cd c:\phpdev\
start apachemonitor.exe
cd c:\phpdev\mysql\bin
start mysqld-nt.exe –standalone
start http://localhost/
exit
8.Ensure that the paths in the batch file are correct. If not, revise them and save the file.
9.Double-click the batch file for your platform to start Apache and MySQL.
This opens the phpdev home page in your browser:

Which shows the phpdev home page lists the files and folders in your web root (e.g., C:\phpdev\www). In addition, this page links to phpMyAdmin and two sample applications: phpWebSite and Invision Discussion Board (IBForums).

MS WORD

Go Back to Where You Left Off in a Document or To return to the place where you last edited a Word document, press Shift+F5.

Quick Word Deletion
You can delete entire words with your keyboard. Just put your cursor at the beginning of the word and press Ctrl+Del together. This is very useful when editing.

Customize Line Spacing and Alignment
The Ctrl key is your best buddy when you want to experiment with line spacing and alignment variations. Ctrl+1 provides single spacing, Ctrl+2 provides double spacing and Ctrl+5 provides 1-1/2 line spacing. Ctrl+R right aligns a paragraph.

MS EXCEL

Instant in-cell graphs
Use the repeat (REPT) function in Excel to create a bar graph inside cells. REPT looks like this: =REPT(“text”; number_of_times). For instance, REPT(“X”; 10) gives you “XXXXXXXXXX”. For in-cell bar charts, the trick is to repeat a single bar “|”. When formatted in 8 point Arial font, single bars look like bar graphs. Of course, number_of_times can also be substituted with a cell number.

MS POWERPOINT

Annotate during Presentations
While giving a slide show presentation, right-click in the active window then choose an annotation item from the Pointer Options submenu, such as Felt Tip Pen or Ballpoint Pen. You can write directly on the slides: underline words, draw a picture, whatever. To return to normal use, and move onto the next slide, select Arrow from the submenu.

Many a times you would have been caught up in an awkward situation where you have forgotten your Windows Vista Password. So here’s how you can easily reset your Windows Vista Password, I have upon two methods on how you can achieve it.

Easy method
Download a piece of software from Petter Nordhal-Hagen’s website. But, before that be warned that this method involves the manipulating of Vista’s SAM database which is always a bit risky. You will need to create a boot disk (CD) from the downloaded software and this will then help you to manipulate the Vista’s SAM database.

I would like to re-assure you at this point that I have used this cool tool a couple of times on a Windows 2000 Server Box before and i never had any problem . Since, the new version of this cool software supports Windows Vista – so I can recomend the same.

Harder method:
In this method you will need to have a Windows Vista Password Reset Disk handy which will enable you to reset your password easily. But the point to note is that you should have created a Vista Password Reset Disk earlier in the first place.

Steps to create a Vista Password Reset Disk:
1. In Vista’s Start Menu search box type the word “user accounts” and open the user accounts
2.Click on Create a password reset disk found on the left navigation bar (The first one on the left – below Tasks).
3.Run the Forgotten Password Wizard which will open. Insert a floppy disk or a USB memory disk.
4.After you have inserted the storage device click on the Next button. Select your drive and then Next.
5.Now you’ll need to type your current Vista user account password and click Next.
6.And that’s it you have done a Vista password reset disk.
7.Now keep the Vista Password Reset Disk in a safe location

When you have forgotten your Vista Password or type the wrong password and press Enter.You wil get a error message.Just below the Error Message you will have a link saying Reset password. Click that link and follow the instructions.

You will need to first connect to the user postgres from your localhost to create the database owner. The command prompt postgres=# indicates that you are connected to the postgres database. The # in the command prompt actually means that the user connected to is a database superuser[Sort Off like in Linux].

Creating a New User:

To create a New User(mynewuser) in PostgreSQL we will use the CREATE ROLE command as follows:

postgres=#CREATE ROLE mynewuser
postgres-#login
postgres-#password ‘mypassword’;

This will create a new user called ‘mynewuser’ with the password ‘mypassword’.

Creating TableSpace :

Now we will move ahead to create the default tablespace for the new database. This is where the database’s files will be stored. Create a new folder structure as C:/myDB/mynewuser/system

The steps below will help you to create a new tablespace as mynewuser_system

postgres=# CREATE TABLESPACE mynewuser_system
postgres-# OWNER jason
postgres-# LOCATION ‘C:/myDB/mynewuser/system’;

Hers’s how you can check if the tablespace was created. Just key in the following command.

postgres=#db+ mynewuser_system

Create a Database and the related Database objects:

Finally we will now create a new database and the associated database objects. It’s very simple… so here are the SQL Statements.
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE myFirstPSQLdb
postgres-# OWNER jason
postgres-# TEMPLATE template0
postgres-# TABLESPACE mynewuser_system;

You can verify if the Database is installed properly by the following command.
postgres=#l+

Now we will finally create the related Database Objects.

First login into the Database:
postgres=# c myFirstPSQLdb

Then run your SQL script as follows:
myFirstPSQLdb=# i C:/myDB/myObjects.sql

Software guys will start preparing code to attract her.. is it?

But then I cannot stop your dream.. go ahead.. put your comments here

Here is the tool to meassure your website’s worth
Put the banner on your pages & cheat if someone is willing to buy yours.. LOL

Calculate it at : http://www.websiteoutlook.com/www.secureslash.com

You may have a site that has background other than White.

<!– ckey=”72D5D611″ –>

And sometimes when using css/javascript menus,etc when the people navigate to other pages , you will see a Big Flash entering the eyes

Not to mention, average users will get Annoyed by this and leave the site unless you provide something that makes them cope that behavior of the browser

You may not notice this in famous Firefox browser but IE is prone to this kind of behavior

To fix the problem easily we can ask all users to switch to firefox but this is not always the case so

Here is the fix for Internet Explorer

we have tried some advice from fellow webmasters that you can setup cache on IIS webserver,etc.. most people dont have previlage to do that or their hosting admins may not be interested in doing that.

So without any ones help you can fix this yourself by using an Iframe

Make a new file like iframe.html or index.html whatsoever

Make the background to the color of your site background <body bgcolor = “xxxx”>

then make a iframe with this code

• <iframe src=”http://secureslash.com/” allowtransparency=”true” align=”left” frameborder=”0″ height=”1024″ scrolling=”no” width=”100%”></iframe>

change the secureslash.com with your site url.

And dont forgot that, You need to use some javascript to change the browser address bar url according to the current source of iframe. Google or Live it for doing this.

Thats it , Enjoy Cheers

Its getting hit by Trojan virus:

Read the News about Thousands of infected websites.

A lot of sites are now being attacked with JavaScript Trojans

the server is not attacked by virus , this happens to both Linux and windows server sites.

so it is doesnt look like a server based attack

How this happens?

when the computer from where you upload data thru FTP/fp is infected , it injects some JavaScript to all html files.

so how you can prevent this happening is keep your pc up2date by having recent antivirus,antispyware and then change your ftp logins.

If there is a Repeating same pattern of JavaScript on 100s of your files you have a shell script for Linux server users that can remove these injected javascript .

so you can request your host or you yourself can run this on your shell

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i ‘/unescape/d’ {} \;

this command will remove all the lines with pattern ‘unescape’

some virus has lines of function okban, in that case you can try pattern ‘okban’

it depends on your need.

you can do the same with a software called GrepWin for replacing/searching PERL Regular Expression patterns on your files

http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/grepWin

use it to search for patterns and replace with null or use the options to delete those lines

this can be either used on a windows server or client side (but then you have to upload all modified files again )

Why to change IPV4

The basic TCP\IP technology has worked well for 2 decodes, even though thinking in a broad sense, the motivation revising the protocol arises from changes in underlying technologies and uses.

In early 90’s only universities and tech industry and Us-Government had internet, it has intented to a vast change as experienced as doubling in size every nine months or faster

This IP make suited to some of real time applications

FEATURES OF IPV6

Large address:-

This new address size is the most noticeablechange.IPV6 quadruples the size of an IPV4 address from 32 bits to 128 bits.The IPV6 address space is so large that it cannot be exhausted.

Extended Address Hierarchy:-

IPV6 uses the larger address space to create additional levels of addressing a hierarchy of ISP’s as well as hierarchical structure.

Flexible Header Format:-

IPV6 uses an entirely new and incompatible datagram format.Unlike the IPV6 fixed format header.IPV6 defines a set of optional headers.

Improved options:-

Like IPV4,IPV6 allows a datagram to include optional control information. IPV6 includes new options that provide additional facilities not available in IPV4.

Provision for protocol extension:-

Perhaps the most significant change in IPV6

Is a move away from a protocol that fully specifies all details to a protocol that fully specifies all details to a protocol that can permit additional features.

The extension capabilities has the potential to allow the IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force).To adopt the protocol changes in underlying network hardware or to new application.

Support for Auto configuration & Renumbering:-

IPV6 provides facilities that allow computers on an isolated network to assign themselves address and begin communicating without depending on a router or manual configuration & permits a manager configuration & permits a manager to renumber network dynamically.

Support for recourses allocation:-

IPV6 has two facilities that permits pre allocation

of network resources, a flow abstraction and a differentiated service specification. The latter will use the same approach as IPV4’s differentiated service.

Controversies of IPV6:-

The response that arguments could be made to increase every field leading to a bloated header. The function of the HOP limit fields to keep packets from wondering long time.

The Super Computer community wanted packets in excess of 64kb.When a super computer gets started transferring ,it really means business & does not want to be interrupted every 64kb.The argument against large packets if a 1mb packet hits a 1,5mbps T1 line.

IPV6 has no checksum as that of IPV4.It generously allows all packets passing through the IP address.
