Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
CD Mohatta asked:


Till now, screensavers have been a tool to enjoy watching scenes. A good screensaver was supposed to have great photographs or animations and good to look at. Not many had thought that screensavers could be used to inspire with text that can re-energize anyone. They are getting made now.

When you watch such screensavers, you will see beautiful images of nature such as mountains, rivers, waterfalls, tress, flowers etc. And a short inspirational text fading in and fading out. Accompanied with great music these screensavers area delight to watch and great tool for getting inspired.

How do they inspire? Think of person who is feeling depressed and hopeless. Most of the times the thought that enter his/her mind are negative and such a person only thinks of defeat. Not many friends will find time regularly to meet him/her and give a pep talk. Most of the times such people are on their own. When they watch Inspirational screensavers, they read the message again and again and that message fights their negativity.

This is a self-help tool. There are more than hundreds of such screensavers available online at no cost and you can download as many as you wish free. Watch them whenever you need to get into inspirational mood. Before a presentation, before an examination or before going for a surgery or anytime you are feeling little low in spirit. Send them to your friends, who you feel may need the screensavers to fight any problems. Screensavers with Inspirational messages are a fun way to get inspired right on your desktop at no cost.

Trojan Virtumonde Free Removal Peculiarities

Sunday, May 24th, 2009
Kelly Wright asked:


Virtumonde Trojan demonstrates that contemporary antivirus protection leaves much to be desired. This malware seems to have been specially created to make popular security programs look imperfect. Some are able to detect the infection, but cannot remove nor quarantine them.

At a closer look Virtumonde is nearly a perfect virus. It self-protects, monitors the system memory of the infected computer, randomly names its malicious files, and integrates with Windows critical processes.

This Trojan is responsible for adware pop-ups, redirecting browsers to websites with ads and malicious scripts. Virtumonde is able to change the desktop background (wallpaper), screensaver, and disable some tabs of Desktop Properties. Besides, some variations of the Trojan are capable of disabling Task Manager and Registry Editor thus making everything to prevent its successful removal.

Virtumonde loads a .DLL file into memory to ensure it’s always up and running. A special module watches the environment inspecting the processes, and puts the Trojan back whenever some program (like antivirus) tries to close it.

Self-restoring mechanism allows virtumondo to restore its associated files if some of them are removed by security programs. That is, upon next computer reboot the Trojan is back and fully functioning.

The main files that are integrated with Windows Explorer and Winlogon processes make virtumonde resistant and hard to remove. Popular Windows security suites from biggest software manufacturers often cannot break the tight linking of the malware to critical components.

This explains why specific steps and virtumonde removal tools are needed to clean out infected computers.

First, it is necessary to unload malware services from system memory.

Second, registry entries and keys related to Trojan virtumonde should be deleted at once.

Third, malicious files should be permanently erased from the system.

All this has to be done in one Windows session, without restarting, or the Trojan will be able to restore itself to previous state.

Several software companies and volunteer programmers decided to develop special tools to help users remove Virtumonde. Among others, Symantec provides a free fix tool for certain variations of the virus.
