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!”.
