Guest ToddAndMargo Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Hi All, I do not have a virus. I need help cleaning up after one. Really, I don't have a virus. A virus installed several registry settings that won't let me configure my desktop, especially my wallpaper. Is there a good .reg file out there that will restore all my desktop settings back to their original defaults? Many thanks, -T Quote

He is NOT a Microsoft MVP yet he puports to be one. He has plagiarized the code from legitimate sources so he hasn't put any effort into them other then reming the author's attributes and replaing is with his.

The use of "he/she" or "he/she/it"n (don't say this one too fast), although "politically correct", it is grammatically incorrect. But, if he knows you are a woman, it would be a bit more polite not to refer to you in the neuter gender. Do you have a certificate number or some other documentation you can use to prove you are a MVP? When re-using code from others, did you remember to reference (footnote) it? I remember in college that I could write an entire paper and only use about fifty of my own word by referencing (footnoting) other people's work. It ain't plagiarizing if you reference it! -T Quote

Maybe even a good hi-res digital photo of that snazzy MVP lapel pin. ....but I don't see these as forthcoming. Seriously, good things can come from bad sources. Why take the chance, I wouldn't trust pcbutts based solely on its behaviour in the newsgroups. Quote
Guest The Real Truth MVP Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 David does not know me, nobody here does. The problem is he thinks he does and because of that it has cost him a lot of grief, anger, and embarrassment. The problem is they want to know me they would give anything to find out my real identity so I will not post the link to my MS MVP profile. My profile has my real info on it. I know all the evil things they (David and his troll buddies) or tried to do to the person who they think I am, and I can prove it, because I have been in contact with people investigation the threats made to him. I know for a fact that one was prosecuted and one decided it was not worth it and stopped what he was doing. I was a witness at the hearing. At any rate what I am trying to say is that David is not the nice guy you all think he is in these NG's. -- Cyberstalking is a crime.

Even the female picture on his Blogger site is stolen from somewhre else to falsely portray him as a woman. He doesn't ever reference the real authors.

UNIX having done TCP/IP networking before DOS was even a twinkle in Uncle Bill's eye. So far, I am the only one that I know of with a Linux workstation -- I actually have two. Linux, although vastly technically superior, can not compete with Windows base of available software. Well, software that runs on XP. (Big mistake dissing the installed base with Vista.) Anyway, I have the best of both worlds, with several Vvirtual machines running Windows: XP Pro, Vista Ultimate, Bart PE, and ReactOS (very buggy). With a virtual machine, I can backup "every" bit of Windows. Linux sees Windows as a large file and with Linux you can back "everything" up. No files locks or system files to contend with. It takes about 10 to restore a Windows virtual machine. It takes about two hour to restore the whole partition. (I have had to do that twice last month. It sucks. I got 100% of everything back. Yipee! But, it still sucks.) As soon as I test the winhelp file out, I will migrate it into my various Windows Virtual machines. Then roll it out at my customer sites. Many thanks, -T Quote

Before there were DNS servers or in a situation where there are no DNS servers one would place the name and IP address of hosts in the etc/hosts table. Then the OS would resolve the name to the IP address so one would not have to memorize the IP address of a given host. Today the reason the etc/hosts table is used is not for name resolution it is used for redirection to IP diagniostic responder which is 127.0.0.1. This redirection is used to avoid advertisers and malicious hosts. Most notable are the MVP Hosts file (mentioned already in this thread) and the HP Hosts file. http://hosts-file.net/ -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp Quote
