Up All Night Removing Malware From Windows XP.
Since the computer is needed 1 hour at 06:00 hour, I pulled an all-nighter to remove the malware from Windows XP. This malware is a vicious one. It is a memory resident malware and altered any executables ran after explorer shell was launched. It did not alter the executables and that’s why most Anti-Virus programs detected nothing at all.
I managed to remove the offending malware manually so I could get started with the process. Here I am six something hours later running final scans on the hard-drive or any traces of the malware.
So far, so good…

After restoring an iPhone to OS 3.1.2 I noticed that the Data Roaming was on and there’s the option for setting up Internet Tethering. For some reasons it did not work, but the option was there. No, the iPhone was not and still is not jail broken.
Tell me that I’m not somehow travelled into the near future for a while there.
