April Fools - Conficker Virus

Posted by admin On April - 1 - 2009

Conficker or sometimes called Downadup or Kido has had a bit of publicity recently due to the havoc it is meant to reek on April 1st, April Fools day. I was a bit sceptical at first but sure enough when i got to work today the first signs of it appeared. At work we support a large amount of computers approx 800 which are all networked together and we had a dozen or so phone calls relating to our antivirus software detecting a virus from end users.

I wont go into any detail but we searched the Internet and found out a few ways to stop Conficker from spreading further on the network than it had and information on security updates to immunize computers against it. To sum it all up, if your computer is up to date with windows updates and your antivirus software has up to day definitions then you are safe, the handful of computers we witnessed with Conficker we ones which for some reason or another weren’t up to date.

Conficker is known to mostly spread across networks in shared folders but is also known to spread through the use of USB flash drives. If it finds a vulnerable computer, it turns off vital services which keep the computer safe such as windows update, restore points and security services. It can also hijack your web browser and direct the unsuspecting to sales and download pages of malware programs. Eventually, if not already, the Conficker worm will have a strong infrastructure for cyber crimes. No one knows what exactly yet, but it will more than likely be more the usual such as botnet which is rented out to cyber criminals to send copious amounts of spam, steal identities and direct users to phishing sites.conficker

Make Some Cash While You Sleep With Internet Marketing

Posted by admin On March - 24 - 2009

cashwadThats right guys thousands of people are already taking advantage of Internet Marketing making thousands and quitting their day jobs. Ive been to three different Internet Marketing seminars in the last couple of years and i’ve finally been convinced (brainwashed maybe) into giving it a shot. There are a few different ways to go about it, the most popular being google adsense, which in other words is adverts on your site which you get paid for if someone clicks on it. Another other way is selling information products such as ebooks online. These can be written by yourself or you can sign up to sites such as clickbank.com where you can be affiliates of other people who have written ebooks and make a cut of the profit selling them on behalf of them.

Ive decided to give this a go, trying out the clickbank method to start with. The parent site of my attempt is explain.co.nz, where there is a blog and links to all the products I am marketing.

Go buy some shit.

Cause New Cars Are Shit, Oldschool.co.nz

oldschool

This is a site I have been a member of for around 3 years and post regularly on. The site consists of some forums and a big group of dudes (and a few girls) who are into their oldschool cars. The site isnt aimed at any one make or model of car, but just on the whole anything that is old! Most members have project threads of their cars for the rest of us to admire and discuss. An example of the selection of cars are Escort’s, Corolla’s, Gemini’s, Lancer’s and cars less commonly choosen for projects such as Fiat’s, Alfa Romeo’s, Humber’s. Members often gather every so often to check out each others cars and there is a big yearly meet and trackday which goes off.  I personally found the site while looking for information on my Ford Cortina. Don’t know why i’ve written this much about the site best you just check it out for youself! oldschool.co.nz
