i got the virus 3 days ago. on the first day, i went in safe mode and removed the virus using hijackthis and malwarebytes; anti-malware, and manually deleted all the registry keys, etc. the next day, i turn on my computer, the virus is back, i do the same to kill it. i also disabled system restore and enabled "showed hidden files" in folder options. but the same thing happened on the third day, and i removed the viruses manually (or so i thought). today, on the fourth day, when i run the anti virus programs, the viruses are not detected. i go in regedit, sure enough, the viruses are still lurking around. i followed the folder directory at where I found the virus in regedit, but when i look in (local settings\application data) it is hidden! am i missing something in my virus termination process? i followed the instructions on "av security suite removal guides" that i found on google. feedbacks from others indicate that the removal guide helped them, however, they did not work for me. please help me. i am desperate.

rite now i m using both avast and zone alarm. however, i realized there is conflict between the 2 programs. i cant be connected to any type of web page if i turn on the firewall feature of both of the programs. i have to turn off the firewall of avast first(while having zone alarm on), open a browser, get connected to Google and turn it back on again after i have access to the internet. do u think i should uninstall one of them ? do they provide the same protection? thanks

I bought a Qsee model QSWLOCR security camera online and did not see the option of checking it online, but i know on householdhacker.com they show you a list of camera numbers and you copy and paste it into google and you can now view the camera. So how do you get that number to type in? Or another option i have is how to make the antenna stronger. i am like 10′ from being able to pick up the signal where i want it and i just wanted to know if maybe there was a way to make the antenna better

We have a alarm system in the apt I live in but we want to use it but we cant because. We don’t know the code to the alarm an we would like to rest the alarm so we can put are own pin in it. the system is with network multifamily it is system 550
This is the kind of alarm we have http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cms.dsc.com/media/products/thumbs/l_PC1500RK.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.dsc.com/index.php%3Fn%3Denduser%26o%3Dshow_panels%26keypad%3D1105&usg=__bChFCSM6WfUYUnmaEy60w5iczLI=&h=320&w=315&sz=16&hl=en&start=1&sig2=mDg1EccG-esiSRhI11T00w&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=Ktda3LLJJM3nDM:&tbnh=118&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPC1500/1550%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26tbs%3Disch:1&ei=ggPdS_TQPJni8gSiuOykBw

From Google’s Street View cameras, to individuals taking pictures and videos on their cell phones of others without gaining permission e.c.t Does this matter? Do you object? Why or why not?

Google Maps has a popular tool called "Street View". Basically you take an icon that is a golden man and put him on whatever street you want to view. It shows a 360 degree view of the area. Well you can view people’s home as well and I was thinking this could evade privacy.

97% of climatologists believe in man-made global warming. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=8Rp&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22of+climatologists+believe%22+deny&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

So it’s not 100%, but what is the argument for betting on the other 3% when the solution does not have negative effects? Green jobs will stimulate the economy and make us more competitive, and getting off of foreign oil will end our infinite entanglements in the Middle East (imagine the day we can say "fuc.k you, Iran and Saudi Arabia!!).

Cap and trade is obviously the most controversial part of the solution, and if there was no precedent for it then I wouldn’t necessarily be in favor because it so complex…the thing is, George Bush I’s cap and trade program for acid rain passed without controversy and by all accounts has been a great success. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=DE&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&ei=-r6bS-aFOsP88Aa9_eysDg&sa=X&oi=spellfullpage&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=2&ved=0CAYQvwUoAQ&&q=acid+rain+cap+and+trade&spell=1

I’m not a tree hugger, I don’t get kickbacks from Al Gore, I just want to live and want all of our children to live….the facts plus the logic says we have to act, please help me understand the logic of your opposition.

I know it is tempting to use the "climategate/hide the decline" email by ONE climatologist as the basis for your argument. This would be ridiculous no matter what, but the author of that email explains what he what he meant:

"This remark has nothing to do with any ‘decline’ in observed instrumental temperatures. The remark referred to a well-known observation, in a particular set of tree-ring data, that I had used in a figure to represent large-scale summer temperature changes over the last 600 years.

The phrase ‘hide the decline’ was shorthand for providing a composite representation of long-term temperature changes made up of recent instrumental data and earlier tree-ring based evidence, where it was absolutely necessary to remove the incorrect impression given by the tree rings that temperatures between about 1960 and 1999 (when the email was written) were not rising, as our instrumental data clearly showed they were.

This ‘divergence’ is well known in the tree-ring literature and ‘trick’ did not refer to any intention to deceive - but rather ‘a convenient way of achieving something’, in this case joining the earlier valid part of the tree-ring record with the recent, more reliable instrumental record.

I was justified in curtailing the tree-ring reconstruction in the mid-20th Century because these particular data were not valid after that time - an issue which was later directly discussed in the 2007 IPCC AR4 Report."

Please save your insults, I’m open-minded so you have a chance to convince me if you present a rebuttal that makes any sense.

Is this alarm worth getting or should I get a different model that isn’t discontinued. What are the bad things, if any, of getting a discontinued alarm? thanks
couldn’t find much info on google, what issues did you hear about it? thanks in advance.

WHAT IS THE PASSWORD HE’S CODED IN THIS LETTER???

June 8th, 1998
Dear Ada ,

Ada, by the time you read this,
I’ll be something… different.
Today’s test turned out to be
positive, just as I expected.
I feel like going crazy when I
think about becoming one of
them.

Ada, you are not infected and I
hope you never will be.
In case you’re the last one
left, take the material in the
Visual Data Room and go to
the Power Room to operate the
Triggering System before you
escape.

If everything is in order, all
the locks can be opened by the
security system. You can access
the system if you log in with my
name from the terminal in the
small lab and enter the password.
The password is your name.
To unlock the door at B2 where
the Visual Data Room is located,
you’ll need to access with our
name first and then enter
another password.

I’ve written the code below.
I’m sure you’ll understand it
easily.

And this is my last hope - if
you find me completely changed,
please kill me yourself.

PASSWORD=????
ive been on google for an hour trying to find it

I’m trying to clean out my computer and maximize performance. I’ve gotten rid of a few 100% unneccessary programs but I’m wondering if there are any more I don’t need. Could anyone tell me which ones are useless/and or unneccesary. Or atleast a little info on what the program is.

-The Punch! Home and Landscape program takes up a lot of memory, but I still want to keep it. Does it save memory or RAM if I install it on a different user or something?

Yahoo! jobs made brief mention of this role in an article on top jobs, and I’m curious what all is involved in the Security Administrator role. I’ll be doing some google searches for this, but I’m just curious to hear from anyone who might already be in the role about what all is involved in getting started (in terms of background, education) and what is involved in the job from your own perspective.

Thanks.

I recently made a switch from Windows to Ubuntu, because I was sick and tired of getting funny error messages about some random DLL going missing. And my teachers stopped believing me when I said my computer wouldn’t work right.

So, I installed Xubuntu on an older computer and tried out OpenOffice.org Writer. Unfortunately, the version from the repository looks outdated (2.4.1, I think) and the most recent is 3.something. So I downloaded the package from the OpenOffice.org website, but while uninstalling the 2.4 version a funny thought occurred to me, prompted by a sentence in the uninstall process. "You may wish to back up your data before installing or removing applications."

Now, at this point I was positively panicking. I can’t even add/remove a few applications without running the risk of saying to my teacher the next day, "Synaptic ate my homework"? Honestly. Quite a few big corporations (Google, for example) use Linux on their servers. And yes, I know there is a definite difference between desktops and servers (terminal only vs. GUI–I happen to be a noob, so I have to use a GUI), but is data loss really that possible on Linux? The Xubuntu Documentation even brings up that you may wish to back up your data regularly. I’ve never run into anything to do with data backup at all on Windows–and I thought Linux was more stable in many ways!

Please help me out if you can! Can you explain to me if the probability of data loss in Linux is very high, and why? I am not one to mess crazily around with base source code or whatever and end up not being able to boot–I just add/remove applications quite a bit (lots of games, you know). Thanks!

I am a Graphic designer temporarily responsible for a website, & I don’t know much about the technicality.since yesterday the website has been showing this page when a user logs on to it:

in firefox:
" Secure Connection Failed

this website uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 11/29/2009 01:59 AM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

* This could be a problem with the server’s configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Or you can add an exception… "

in Iexplorer:
" There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website has errors, and should not be trusted.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
Click here to close this webpage.
Continue to this website (not recommended). "

so, what is this security certificate that has expired? is it like some service you have to pay for? or what??? ( & I’ve checked the site with google’s webmaster tools, & there’s nothing wrong with it)

Here’s all the specs I can see:

Chronograph
100m
Tachymeter
Alarm
Water Resistant
Stainless Steel
10 Bar
NO Diamonds
NO Gold
Movement Japan
(and it’s a Men’s watch)

I found a few number sequences on it but none of them seem to be the model number, as all Seiko watches have the model number starting with S. But here’s a few I found:

720547
35K3-G-I
7T62-0HA0

So either if you can figure out if the model number is not in an easy spot to see, or if you can figure out what the watch is/model number, that would be great.

~first person to figure out the exact watch (I’ll check on google images to make sure that it’s right) will get Best Answer. Thanks!
Nope 7T62 is on a ton of Seiko watches. It is in that category however, but I’d already figured that out.

Given all the choices today to access our personal information from web-based programs such as Google….someone suggested MSN’s Live.com as a free storage space….true or false?

I have a 1997 VW Jetta GLS and the security alarm system has a mind of its own. the alarm is always armed. on good days i can unlock from the outside leave the door open and turn the car on and it wont arm itself if i close the door and turn on the car, the alarm will arm itself so when i come home at 2am from work my alarm goes off when i open the door oh and i live around a bunch of older folk. so my question is without a mechanic is there a way for me to disable the security system or at least the horn?? pulling the fuse doesn’t work only disables my regular horn and there is a second horn for the alarm. if anyone can help that would be great. i have been on google for over 2 hours searching for options and nothing and dont see a fuse for the alarm system inside the car.

thank you
I’m def not stealing it if i have the key for it and its in my name.. seriously

I left my laptop safe and sound at night but when I woke up, all the data from my laptop was gone, my desktop settings were also changed, my homepage was also changed to Aol.com from Google.com. My yahoo account would not log off unless I clicked "sign out"( it used to log off when I used to click "X"). Nobody accessed my laptop during the night as it was with me with password protection. Then I scanned my laptop for virus and results were okay although my Norton subscription had expired. Then I shut down the laptop for sometime, but when I turned it on, all the data re appeared again. What could be the cause ?
In light of Mike’s answer, I would like to add that I have 4 user accounts on the laptop, including my own which is administrator’s account, protected by the password. Other 2 accounts are also password protected and one account is not password protected. So when I opned my account using my unique passoword, I could not see my data or any documents until I shut the laptop down to see all the data come back again.

take google earth as an example. it provides images of places all over the globe. what if world government organisations proposed to take it one more level and constantly monitor the world 24/7 by video surveillance?

i guess everyone would benefit with less crime but then again..you may interpret crime as something that makes the world go round and 24/7 video surveillance might change our entire structure on various scales.

other not so beneficial factors also need to be considered..invasion of privacy being the basis.

dont respond with answers like "it will never happen because it costs way too much money to fund" .. this is hypothetical
