Still Got The Rootkit Blues.

From time to time I’d get a call from acquaintances regarding their computers. Usually it’s about the viruses, trojans, worms, spywares, etc.

Well, this time it’s a Rootkit!

I know that the most effective way is to wipe the hard-drive clean and fresh-install Windows. I opted to clean the system to see what kinda damges done on this computer. Thanks to ComboFix author!

I’m going to fresh-install Windows later.

Need to tune your Guitar? Gibson has an App for that.

There are times when I need to de-tune my guitar down to Q and I had no tuner handy. Thanks to Gibson for their iPhone App that includes tuner and metronome.

Partial description:

FEATURES:

  • A professional quality Chromatic Tuner that will allow you to tune any instrument using the iPhone microphone (or iPod Touch with microphone attachment)
  • Alternate Tuning settings so you can quickly and easily tune your guitar to various alternate tunings, including Open G, Low C, Drop D, Eb and others.
  • A Standard Mode Tuner that allows you to tune each string to a sample tone
  • An accurate Metronome with multiple time signatures, visual and audio options, and a set-your-own tempo tap pad
  • A Chord Library with a sample of the essential chords for every player beginner to advanced

Did I forget to mention that it’s free?

Still, there’s no instruction to downtune to Q.

Yet Another Text-Spammer: (714) 916-3671

UPDATE

I just called FCC regarding this matter and this type of “marketing” does violate CAN-SPAM Act.

You should file form 1088G to report this violation.

File a complaint on FCC site http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

You can also call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-2255-322) voice; 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-8355-322) TTY.

I just received another Text-Spam on my mobile phone. This is an unsolicited marketing ploy from unscrupulous individual(s).

This time is from (714) 916-3671

The Spam says:

If you are $10,000 or more in Credit Card Debt, you qualify for our Debt Settlement Program. Reply “YES” to be contacted today with info.

I have previously contacted FCC regarding this issue, and surprisingly FCC found that these Text-Spam do not violate the Communication Act of 1934.

More on this.

iStumbler is now Snow Leopard Compatible.

After a long wait, one of my favorite utilities is now Snow Leopard Compatible.

Enter iStumbler 0.9.9 on February 16th, 2010.

iStumbler is the leading wireless discovery tool for Mac OS X, providing plugins for finding AirPort networks, Bluetooth devices, Bonjour services and Location information with your Mac.

Release 99 includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I really missed this app.

Yet another Text Spam, (562) 314-8316.

I’ve got another Text Spam and this time is from (562) 314-8316.

I have been filing complaints to FCC and unfortunately they ruled that such Text Spam did not violate any of their rules. I’ll get to that in the future.
