BitDefender Lab’s Top 10 Malware Chart for August

Posted on 19 September 2007 at 14:29

The widespread use of a Windows metafile rendering exploit which surfaced at the end of 2005 and was patched against in early 2006 came in at # 2 in the top ten with 21.5% of total detections. It is disquieting because it suggests there are still a lot of unpatched machines around.

The only new entrant into the top ten is a recent and rather sophisticated rootkit which goes by the name of Trojan.Kobcka.A and is probably used to hide a mass-mailer virus.

BitDefender’s August 2007 Top 10 malware list includes:

1. Trojan.Peed.Gen 24.7%
2. Exploit.Win32.WMF-PFV 21.5%
3. BehavesLike:Trojan.Downloader 19.06%
4. Win32.Netsky.P@mm 5.89%
5. Trojan.Pandex.H 2.54%
6. Win32.NetSky.D@mm 1.92%
7. Win32.Nyxem.E@mm 1.80%
8. Win32.Netsky.AA@mm 1.80%
9. Trojan.Kobcka.A 1.24%
10. Win32.Sality.M 1.24%

BitDefender Lab’s Top 10 Malware Chart for June

Posted on 8 July 2007 at 10:47

BitDefender Lab’s Top 10 Malware Chart for June reveals that many computer users still do not have adequate protection.

With this month’s list of Top 10 malware threats only accounting for 39.75% of the total number of threats, perhaps the most outstanding finding is not a certain virus, but the way that the top malfeasants have been concentrated into a smaller percentage of the overall viruses developed in the wild.

How do i install a forum?

Posted on 19 June 2007 at 16:59

Do you want to have your own forum? Well, in this tutorial i will show you the steps to make your own forum.
There are many “bulletin boards” available on the market. Today we will install The Simple Machine Forum a.k.a. SMF.

You have to download the files from the download section of the simplemachineforum.org. Always use the last stable version available.

Now, you have the files on your computer.
Decompress the archive in an folder and rename the folder in : forum or board or bb or whatever do you want. Upload the folder renamed earlier on the host via ftp.

When the transfer is over go to your web browser and type : http://www.your_server.com/name_of_the_folder_uploaded/install.php. Let say the folder name is Board. I have to type http://www.my_server.com/board/install.php .
This page tell’s you that you have to change the permision of some files and folders. You Can change the permision via ftp ( by right clicking the file/folder and selecting properties/chmod and select 777 ) or via the file manager provided by your host.

After you chmoded all the files and folders needed, we find ourself on the config page. Here you set the Forum name.
Generally “Forum URL:” is completed correct by the installer. If it is not, correct the address.
Now we jump directly to the MySQL Server Settings. Now you have to use the information provided by your host. ‘MySQL server name:’ is in general localhost but maybe be diffrent.
Check the documentation from your host. ‘MySQL username:’ - you need to create a database for the board in the phpadmin or Manage databases section of your host. “MySQL password:” and “MySQL database name:” are set at the moment you created the databases earlier so you have the wright that information. leave the “MySQL table prefix:” unchanged. Proceed.

In this step you will set up your account on the forum and also the e-mail account used to communicate with the users of your forum. Finish.
Now, you have you own forum. Before you proceed to create boards you have to delete the install.php file from your host.

Siemens CF62T

Posted on 28 May 2007 at 12:23

Description

* Technology support: GSM/GPRS with world roaming
* 3 ounces and 3.23 inches tall
* Pulsating lighting around the edges

Guide Review - Siemens CF62T Review
The Siemens CF62T looks like a direct competitor of Sony Ericsson’s Z200: a small clamshell phone with an upper handle that you can use to hang it to your neck. It’s clearly aimed at the youth market with a basic set of features at a low price. But unfortunately, the CF62T falls short of the quality level we’ve been used to with Siemens.

To start with, the ringer volume, basically too low to be heard even when set at maximum: we missed many calls. The speakerphone was below average and definitely not as good as other Siemens phones we have reviewed. The keypad also wasn’t comfortable to use and felt pretty cheap, as did the general construction of the Siemens CF62T. Software was also deceiving: slow, and in some cases, you can’t press “end” to get out of something as with the vast majority of phone, it will keep bugging you with a question. There are some qualities: a small size and weight and a low price and the presence of a speakerphone, even though it’s not optimal. But all-in-all, I don’t quite recommend that phone.

Romanii, codasi la internet

Posted on 1 April 2007 at 19:56

Zilele trecute citeam pe un alt blog, ca romania este printre primele tari ca latime de banda la accesul pe internet. Azi citesc pe site-ul Hotnews ca suntem codasi la folosirea internetului. Pai da.. ca romanul foloseste netul ca sa descarce de pe dc++ filme si muzica. Nu ca altii.. sa faca shoping sa se documenteze sau sa se distreze. Sper ca se mai schimba si la noi situatia.
