SPYWARE IN MY USB DRIVE

Submitted by clemente21 on May 18, 2008 - 10:09pm

I apologize if it's in wrong section. My mom's computer got attacked with spy ware and she have bunch of pictures she doesn't want to lost. Lucky I had my usb drive with me, so I load the pictures in it and I reinstalled window XP. Everything look like a factory setting which was so great. Then I unload the pictures off my usb drive to my mom's computer. Spy ware attacked again. It's obviously it was in my usb drive. How can I clean the spyware in my usb drive? I have millions college documents in it and can't afford to lose.

winzip replacement

Submitted by DamnSpaceTravel on May 18, 2008 - 1:26pm

Now i know that you guys love 7zip and peazip for their archiving abilities, but i extraxt more .zip files than i create. I'm not a programmer or anything, but i use portable apps a lot to do work on different computers (school, home, laptop, etc.), and so maybe i just can't figure it out, but here's my problem: i haven't been able to succesfully extract any .zips using either of these two programs.

The site is back up after the Drupal 6 upgrade, but it will be slow while the cache and search indexes are rebuilt. The forums, in particular, will be quite slow. A couple things are disabled (forum stats, for instance) and a couple things will look visually odd for a bit (recent posts, table headers, page links), but these things should be resolved later today.

PortableVBox Info

Submitted by Rochey on May 16, 2008 - 7:39am

Hi everyone,

I thought I would start a new thread on Portable Virtualbox. I know it's been talked about before but I have found an autoit script that a guy called Red_sleeves has written (I only have the autoit exe and not the actual script). The exe's that he has done are called "LaunchVBox.exe" and "VboxMain.exe". He has compiled them in the latest autoit version and cannot be decompiled (I've tried!).

I bow out. . .

I use the internet at school, but I am not at school until the summer semester starts. Thus, my problem is finding a secure connection. So . . . as the title states, I'm bowing out for awhile.

I must apologize for bowing out. I feel that as a developer, I should have a constant connection to the net. Which was my college. I intend to get a internet browser installed to my phone, but it frequently times out. So, as soon as I do this, I will monitor, but will probably not making many responses. Any PNotes issues will get a response, as well as something that is directly aimed at me.
