Opting out of Ad Servers and Networks

   For the past 10 years, we have seen all kinds of ads on web sites, we have seen ads for websites on TV commercials, magazines and just about every product you purchase today has an ad for the manufactures website. Did you know these ad companies are developing smarter technologies, which track you all over the Internet? Much like search engines now do? Oh you didn’t know your search engine tracks where you go and what you have looked at? Google recently did a TV special on CNBC called "In the mind of Google".

VIRUS ALERT: Serious Worm affects 9+ million computers world wide

originally posted:1/22/09 - 10amPST

   I won't bore you with the details, suffices to say there is a serious threat out that could potentially bring down computers and networks all over the world. It can spread through USB, MP3 devices, BitTorrent sites and files as well as email by exploiting the Microsoft hole described as MS08-067. On Wednesday, about 3.5 million computers had been infected, mostly in Europe, the United States and Asia. Approximately six percent of computers scanned by Panda Security are currently infected by the Conficker/Downadup worm, Panda said Wednesday, dubbing the outbreak "an epidemic". By Friday, that number was nearly 9 million, and still climbing. . It's sure to be even higher as this week wears on and the worm seeks out more unprotected networks.

Vundo Trojan: a good lesson, Malwarebytes

Greetings Visitor or potential customer,

   I want to talk to you about my recent experience with a very tough malware (see the wiki definition of malware) application to get rid of, Vundo. Before I get a head of myself and perhaps bore you with some technical terms about malware I want to describe what happened to my system, how I discovered it and what steps I did pulling my hair out to get rid of something so vicious I didn’t understand it.

   This little monster (Vundo) comes in many variants, but ultimately does pretty much the same thing. Vundo (wiki article on Vundo) appears to be a morphing virus, that is, a virus that alters it’s symptom or location of its files that it infects. However this is not the case it is simply a very nasty Trojan (webopedia definition), no not the condom, the fabled Trojan horse story in which the Greeks hidden inside a large wooden horse convincing their enemies, the Trojans, that the horse was a gift, but inside were lots of Greek soldiers that came out after dusk to take over the city of Troy. You’ll see in a minute why this historic reference is very significant.

Speeding up your computer

Recently a client of mine asked me:

"Why does every computer I get slow down more and more after every software install and even worse after a Microsoft update, specifically the Service Packs?"

I can't TELL YOU how many times I have heard of some variation of this question over the past 20 years of PC consulting. It seems with every new PC that is released the speed gets faster and fast....until the day that you have to do the latest Service Pack for your Windows based PC.

The Why
There are many reasons your computer slows down, I will simply give you the top 4 reasons why your PC is slower as time goes on.
