Five of the Dirtiest Malware Tricks

Five of the Dirtiest Malware TricksFrom disguising applets to look like part of Windows to co-opting security tools, Web crooks use a variety of methods to bypass your system's safeguards.Erik LarkinPC World Thursday, September 27, 2007; 12:19 AMIf the crooks behind viruses, Trojan horses, and other malicious software were as stupid as they are scummy, we'd have a lot less to worry about. But as protective measures get better at stopping the obvious attacks, online creeps respond with underhanded moves to invade your PC. Here are five of their dirtiest tricks, all based on Trojan horses. Don't mind me--I'm only here to break your PC: It's like sending in a different scout each time to open the gate for the rest of the invaders. The "Glieder Trojan" and many others use a multistage infection process whose first step is a tiny program that the crooks can change constantly so your antivirus watchdog is less likely to recognize it.

Tip of the day:How to Convert an Old TV Into a Fish Tank
2007-09-26 01:45:00
How to Convert an Old TV Into a Fish TankHave you discovered a dinosaur of a TV set in your attic? It sure can't compete with today's flat-panel units, but it doesn't have to head straight for the junk pile -- if you're creative. Here's how to make it do something those plasmas will never pull off: turn it into a fish tank! Steps1) Rebuild the cabinet out of MDF/Craftwood so that it allows for a flip lid. 2) Stain it with an acrylic estapol satin stain. 3) Attach the original legs to the finished cabinet. 4) Stain or lacquer all the surfaces multiple times to ward off any effects of condensation (the formation of water droplets) in the enclosed space. 5) Build in some ventilation at the back to discourage condensation within the cabinet. 6) Get a tank that is slightly wider and taller than the screen. If your T.V. console won't fit a standard tank size, you can have a custom one built to fit. Make sure that you leave enough room for the reflector/light (about 6 cm). A remote b ...

Drug Dealer calls cops after pot stash stolenSeptember 7th, 2007 by Nick A marijuana dealer telephoned police after armed thieves stole his quarter-pound stash of pot. The 19-year-old Felton man told police that two men, one of them armed with a handgun, robbed him at gunpoint as he sat in his car on Tuesday night.“It was unique to have people who were dealing drugs calling us when they’ve been ripped off,” police spokesman Zach Friend said.After the thieves made off with his stash, the dealer telephoned police. When police arrived, the dealer’s story became progressively confused.First he showed officers a medical marijuana card and told them he bought the pot at a medical marijuana dispensary. Then he said he got the pot from a friend. Eventually the dealer admitted he had arranged to sell the marijuana to the men who stole it from him, investigators said.The Felton dealer wasn’t arrested.“From our standpoint, it’s more important to address the fact there are individual ...
