Business.
It all depends on whether I pass my driving test, but if I do I have decided to start up a little business venture. I am going to start offering my computer skills to the highest bidder and start the long journey into PC repair and the general things that come with it.
It’s not much use doing this if I have to walk everywhere, hence the passing of the test.
I’ll stick a few notices in the local shops, see how things work out.
What a sucky day!
Following on from the post below, I was doing some work and fired up my FTP software today. Suddenly I realise that I cant drag and drop any of the files. Assuming that the virus had maybe changed some of my settings, I looked high and low for a solution to my problem.
I installed various registry fixes, I used Windows’ inbuilt “System File Checker” to see if there were any .dlls out of place, I even used System Restore and rolled back to last Friday in my attempt to figure it out.
I then stumble across a forum where someone points out they had to re-install their mouse drivers, they also mentioned the middle scroll wheel. I push the middle scroll wheel down and what happens?…….it sodding works!
I am going to cry.
The Nyxem Virus :(
One of the machines at the place I work was infected with the Nyxem virus. This is probably the worst virus I have ever encountered, to be honest I havent dealt with that many but this really holds it’s own up there.

As you can see it really does its best to fcuk with your systems. I had noticed when it installed itself that it tried to close all running applications, send out mass mailing from your system and disable the antivirus. Not only did it disable the antivirus, it damn-well deleted the executable file of it aswell!
OK, so it running rampage throughout the system. I go into regedit and search for the value scanregw (which names itself “Scan Registry” in the registry). This is the file that boots on startup and makes your life a living hell. Once that is deleted, its a simple sweep for virii and the files are deleted.
Is that it? No.
The virus also sends itself to email address in your contacts and ones it can find in text files on your computer. It creates at least 7 copies of the infected .exe on network shares (being in a company this is very very dangerous and of course easy to do when you use the shares daily).
So now it is deleted, the virus scanner is clearing up the rest of the shares and I can breathe a sigh of relief. If you need help, I will write a page on how to delete the virus from your system.
Peace.
What is your world view?
Thanks to Nabiy for this:
You scored as Modernist. Modernism represents the thought that science and reason are all we need to carry on. Religion is unnecessary and any sort of spirituality halts progress. You believe everything has a rational explanation. 50% of Americans share your world-view.
