One thing I learned about photography is that great moments come out of nowhere. Luckily I had my camera ready and captured the action.
0000FF Moon
The tree leaves make this picture of the Blue Moon less boring. Still boring, nonetheless.

Action Kitten and Patchouli, being kittens that they are.

Nexus 7, The Wait.
A lot of people have received their Nexus 7 on Monday July 16th, 2012. I on the other hand would be receiving one sometimes later today.
My colleague suggested we all should go to Pick Up Stix for lunch today and we did. Then I get this fortune:
A small lucky package is on its way to you soon.
Well played, as long as this Nexus 7 is in a relatively small package.
A Boxful of Gouda.
Don’t you love a boxful of Gouda?

TDSS Rootkit
A client called me because one of the office computer “was not working.”
Well, the problem was much severe than described. It suffered from multiple malware infections. As usual, I used numbers of applications to detect and remove the malware. I also noted that this computer is unable to download any Windows Update.
- Microsoft’s Malicious Software Removal Tool
- Microsoft’s Safety Scanner
- Malwarebytes AntiMalware
- Combofix
- Spybot – Search & Destroy
- Hitman Pro
So, the system is infected with TDSS Rootkit.
The next step is to download Kaspersky Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller.
I made sure to “Change parameters” and select the option to detect TDSS file system.
After a reboot, Windows is able to download and install updates.
