Malwarebytes vs Old Laptop

I have done a Malwarebytes scan on someone's laptop and what I saw 4000+ infected objects. I got to say this person does not take care of their laptop.
I also went to a charity organisation (no name mention) to clean up all those crap because some Admin bring their IT cronies and decide to uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes and put on some trial Antivirus which the organisation refuse to pay and it expires.

All the sudden the PC went slow and beyond repairs.
Luckily I have reinstalled Security Essentials and Malwarebytes and when I done Malwarebytes scan I saw 900+ infected objects.
I have never seen such numbers of crap in my IT life.
Luckily Malwarebytes clean the crap out and removed all the plague out of the PCs and now faster than light and clean as a baby's bottom.

If anyone read this I recommend you guys to download Malwarebytes and if you have to pay for it, do it! As it save you a lot of hassle.

 

 

Frape (aka Facebook Rape)

Frape (Facebook Rape)

 

Anyone heard of 'Frape' (Facebook Rape)

A combination of the words 'Facebook' and 'Rape'.

How this works:
When the user is logged in to Facebook but when taking a break away from the Laptop/PC when session is open (still logged in/on) someone (relative, friend or flatmate) decide to post something very embarrassing and post as 'Public' and the friends assume the you post it on the timeline/wall because it is your profile.

Quick tip from the IT Knightrider:
Log out of the session when you are away from the PC/Laptop or if got caught, delete the post so you can save your humiliation.

Here is a screenshot of an example from my friend and do not be you!

Windows XP: End of Lifecycle

This is the funeral of Windows XP. I know some people still use XP and refuse to upgrade.

"We gathered here today to read at this post about the end of best Microsoft Operating system we ever had - Windows XP.
Windows XP has now reach "the End of Lifecycle" and will be sadly missed.
It done a great service to our lives, our Computers and our Laptops.
Now it time to move on and upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8.
Now enjoy this video of the Windows XP Welcome theme music.
Windows XP will now Rest In Peace!"

25th October 2001 to 08th April 2014.
Video of the Windows XP theme which some people will never forget.

Dell Inspiron 6400 - 2GB/4GB

Some of you may notice that on eBay sellers selling Dell Inspiron 6400 showing it has 4GB of RAM and the Dell Inspiron 6400 official systemboard showing it can go up to 2GB of RAM memory.

Official Dell website confirms that 6400/E1505 can go up to 2GB with a 2GB memory slot single module.

I done some research in eBay sellers and technical expert and it confirms that 50% of Inspiron 6400/E1505 system motherboard can go up to 4GB of memory (2x2GB DDR2).

I have tested myself to find out it was true by buying Samsung 4GB DDR2 SODIMM memory (2x2 GB memory) from eBay. The seller was a genuine seller (I won't name the eBay ID person) which I did and testing it when I already have the maximum of 2GB.

The results was successful and confirms that some can go up to 4GB of memory instead of 2GB and my laptop can go up to 4GB. I wouldn't recommended anyone to try it because Dell says 2GB memory capacity is due to safety limitations and if you try it on your Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 laptop. Get a Samsung model because people recommended to me.

And one more thing: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK DON'T COME TO ME IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR LAPTOP.

If you do get it to work you may notice of Windows XP or Vista saying 3.25GB out of 4 which because OS limitations and 768MB is for the system board to run optimized.

This might only works on Intel Chipset and updated BIOS to make this works.

Police Central E-Crime Unit Virus

I have a friend that was infected by the Ransomware and told me this time it some sort of Police Virus run by Metropolitan Police which hijack his web page and screenshot his mugshot to confiscate his ID and order to pay the fine or serve time.

About this Ransomware:

When this Ransomware infect your PC/laptop by random website you get this spam letter stating that how you broke the law and this Trojan virus gets into your PC. The wallpaper hijacks your desktop and your system completely. You cannot get out of it until you pay the fine.

This gets more funnier or worse that is if you got a webcam on your laptop the virus records your activity and screenshot you as a mugshot for your crime.

Rebooting does not work and even you go to safe mode the PC resets.

How I fix this is I have to take out the hard drive completely and scan the virus with Malwarebytes and once again successfully removed it and now 100% works again.
