So what do you do if you get hit by this lovely virus? A non-techy person could take it to a computer repair shop and spend anywhere from $85-$150 to get it fixed. Or for you geeks, you could fix it yourself using the following steps:

(Please note the following steps are for experienced users only – if you are not comfortable performing any of the below steps, take the computer to a professional!)

1)      Immediately boot into Safe Mode (with networking) and do not leave this until you are done! (Mashing F8 at the boot screen will do this on most computers – read the boot screen if F8 doesn’t do the trick)

1. If you have to reboot at any time, make sure you boot back into Safe Mode!

2)      Download and run RKill: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill. This will terminate the virus from running and allow you to clean up the computer. Any of the download links should work – they just have various names to confuse viruses.

3)      You need to be able to see the folders/files which are hidden. To do this, do the following:

1. Click your start menu
2. In the ‘run’ field, type “cmd” and hit enter
3. Type: c:*.* /d /s –h

• **The virus may make files read-only as well. If so, include –r.
• **If the virus makes files system files, add –s.
• Do NOT add any unnecessary –r or –s commands. Only use these commands if needed.

4)      Make sure you have the following programs installed and updated:

1. Microsoft Security Essentials (http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/)
2. Super AntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com)
3. Remove ANY other antivirus program you have as most don’t live up to their promises and often do more harm than good (ESPECIALLY Norton, McAfee and AVG).

5)      Run a FULL scan on both Security Essentials and Super AntiSpyware.

6)      Clean up your registry! (If not comfortable with this, pay for a professional cleanup!)

1. Go to Start –>Run–>’regedit’ and hit enter, then ‘Ok’ or ‘Yes’
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER–>Software–>Microsoft–>Windows–>CurrentVersion–>Run
   i.      Remove anything which looks suspicious and is not a file you recognize. For instance, an entry with a name like FKA546542EJJAL and stored in a temp file is probably a virus (EXAMPLE ONLY). This is also a good time to remove unnecessary programs from starting up at boot time.
3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER–>Software–>Microsoft–>WindowsNT–>CurrentVersion–>Winlogon
   i.      Again, remove anything suspicious. If you don’t see anything obvious, DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING.
4. Go to HKEY_USERS–>’user name’ or ‘.DEFAULT’–> Software–>Microsoft–>Windows–>CurrentVersion–>Run
   i.      Remove suspicious files as mentioned above
   ii.      Do this for EVERY user
5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE–>SOFTWARE–>Microsoft–>Windows–>CurrentVersion–>Run
   i.      Remove suspicious files (be EXTRA careful here as some of these files are necessary for system files to run at startup. Again, if not sure, take it in for a professional cleanup!)
6. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE–>SOFTWARE–>Microsoft–>WindowsNT–>CurrentVersion–>WinLogon
   i.      Double click on ‘Shell’ and make sure it ONLY says ‘explorer.exe’. If there is anything after it, delete it!
   ii.      Double click on Userinit and make sure it ONLY says ‘C:Windowssystem32userinit.exe,”. If there is anything after it, delete it!

7)      Lastly, do a quick file cleanup

1. Go to C:WindowsSystem32
   i. Sort by Date Modified – click twice so you see the most recent date on top
   ii. Going from the date you got infected (hopefully you are doing this the same day or the next day) remove any files which look suspicious (yet again, if you don’t know what you are doing, take it to a professional!)
2. Go to C:Windows and do as above but look at folders as well as files
3. Delete cookies and temp files (any self-respecting geek knows how to do this already)

So by now you have:

1)      Made your files viewable and usable again

2)      Removed the virus and any associated viruses or malware through using the recommended software

3)      Removed registry entries to prevent anything bad from loading on startup and thus re-infecting your machine

4)      Removed any negative system entries which may also be contributing to the problem.

You might have even discovered you had other spyware, malware or viruses you didn’t know about throughout all this. But if you did everything correctly, you should be clean. If not, now is definitely a good time to take the computer in for a professional cleanup as your machine likely has bigger problems than you were aware of. Good luck!

**Please note that running these commands will make EVERY file on the system viewable and editable, including previously hidden system files you shouldn’t mess with. Use extreme caution when working with files after doing this. If you aren’t comfortable with this, consider paying for a professional cleanup.

There has just been another leak of a Windows 8 image. This image comes courtesy of Winreview.ru. There is a subtle difference including new min, max and close buttons, a flatter styling (to better align with Metro) and a few other nuances.

So far from an aesthetical point of view there isnt much difference between Windows 8 and Windows 7. However, it is still very early days and im sure there are a lot more releases to come.

Windows 8 is expected to RTM in 2012 with the latest rumor suggesting an early January 2013 retail availability.

There are no official statements just yet but apparently, people will be able to download the Windows 7 SP1 RC (release candidate) in the following week, October 23 maybe.

Take note that this build is not the final RC, represents the pre-RC (build string 7601.17104.100921-1630). Here are some of the screenshots that appeared recently:

We would highly recommend for you to wait the final version of the RC before installing it.

Microsoft is not a company known for great marketing. In the past, the marketing department has been ridiculed by the media, by the internet, and even by some of its most rabid supporters. Most recently the biggest commercials were the ones featuring Seinfeld and Bill Gates in random situations making much ado about nothing.

While Apple has retired it’s “I’m A Mac” campaign which prominently featured funny man John Hodgeman and actor Justin Long. The two compared one another on various tasks showing how Apple reigned supreme. Microsoft started running a similar campaign called “I’m A PC” to coincide with the launch of Windows 7. The idea was to show how Windows 7 was made for people by people, as well as show the diversity of those that would use the platform. Essentially Microsoft was looking to appeal to the “everyman” while alluding that Apple was for “elitists” for charging high prices for image as opposed to functionality.

Microsoft as now apparently started a campaign to discourage people from converting to a Mac by covering six topics of interests to show how working with Microsoft and Windows 7 offers more choice then Apple offers with their high priced machines. Rather than a mud slinging campaign, this looks like something a little more permanent.

It will be interesting to see what Microsoft does with this in the long run, but I’m more curious what Apple’s next move will be in response to this.

Access the demo site here.

jQuery is a JavaScript framework which allows programmers to interact with HTML objects, design interfaces and add some interaction with other technologies like AJAX. The scalability you can achieve using this is tremendous, and this plugin is a fine example of that.

You can see on the demo, that the similarity with common Aero windows on Windows Vista or Windows 7 is incredible. Plus, working with the plugin you can use a lot of configurations to customize it anyway you want to.

The following browsers are compatible:

• Internet Explorer 6
• Internet Explorer 7
• Internet Explorer 8
• Mozilla Firefox 3
• Google Chrome 4
• Apple Safari 4

Recently it was announced that J. Allard, a major influence in the shaping of the X-Box, would be leaving the company on a rumored disagreement with Steven Ballmer over the cancellation of the Courier Tablet project. While questions remain, what is for certain is that Microsoft may be making some major changes in their executive management in the Entertainment and Devices division. This change would mean more than just replacing, but rather a full scale revamp to find their footing in a race that Microsoft has been steadily losing ground in.

The division is more than just the X-Box, but also includes the Zune and their mobile operation systems. This comes as  a relief for me because I’ve personally felt that Microsoft has always missed the mark on their efforts for mobile consumer devices. Whether it’s phones or the Zune, Microsoft seems so divided, with so many fragmented operation systems that lack consistency or the attention to detail that their competitors show. It will be interesting to see where Microsoft ends up after these changes.

There are no official dates for the release of this Service Pack, and there is no much information about it, but let’s take a closer look.

• The SP1 will also be released for Windows Server 2008 R2. After all, those two have the same kernel installed.
• Will include, of course, minor updates for the operating system but no so much of new features (maybe for SP2?).
• New version of the Remote Desktop client designed to work with RemoteFX (new remote access platform to be included in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1).
• Dynamic Memory feature. This will let you to add memory to a virtual machine on the fly, instead of shutting it down.
• Supporting USB 3.0?

There are some screenshots available as well.

Even though there’s no official date of the release, the impact among Windows 7 to the public have been amazing; so thinking about waiting for a Service Pack does not change the idea for most organization for migrating now their platform to Windows 7.

Around 50% of Windows organizations are considering to migrate now to Windows 7 and not to wait for SP1. This behavior did not occur with Windows Vista.

Today, LG have unveiled their first ever laptop which is also the first ever laptop to get the official Windows 7 touch screen seal-of-approval sticker from Micrsoft. This is different to other touch screen laptops out there which use primitive overlay touch screen technology found on many budget touch screen phones. By using an inbuilt screen technology which leaves the screen firm and doesn’t reduce picture quality and responsiveness, LG are sure to have success with this model.

Undoubtedly, Samsung will be unveiling a competitor to this new product in the coming weeks and months, perhaps a little disgruntled having been bet to the post. Perhaps these touch screen laptops will be the new ‘iPad’ seeing as that doesn’t have enough computing power for most of us.

The LG model will go into mass production in the second half of this year although I’m sure some review units will be floating around. For now, we have this video from LG.

This represents a new approach by Microsoft to insert Windows 7 into the netbooks world, that by default never include an optical CD/DVD ROM.

The usability provided by the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool it is quite simple as well: You will need, of course, the Windows 7 ISO file (extracted from the DVD or downloaded from Microsoft); select to create a DVD disc or a bootable USB drive and complete the wizard.

An important note about the USB option is that it will use the entire flash drive to build this bootable image, meaning that you better move those files from your portable drive.

I guess you are running out of excuses for not using Windows 7 right?

Here’s also a quick review made by TechRadar.

The netbooks seems that they are going to take the market (Windows 7 was already built thinking in netbooks), but having this devices available already, including a great OS like Windows 7, sounds like an excellent idea to me.

Well it is not exactly what you may think; it does not have special “Ballmer features”, or using only desktop backgrounds with Microsoft’s CEO. But what it does have is a special box edition with Ballmer’s signature.

The lucky ones that will receive this package are those that are throwing a Windows 7 party (we’ve discussed this earlier). But here’s an interesting story published by ArsTechnica: A very enthusiast Windows user sent an e-mail to Microsoft complaining that even though he completed the registration to Windows 7 party, no Caribbean countries were eligible to use it. So the company in response, sent the Windows 7 with Ballmer’s signature and the Windows 7 Party Kit.

Original story in sutffiwrote

I’m pretty sure that once this story hit public, a million complains were received from Microsoft. But still, sounds good to me that the company is trying to reward those enthusiast that are trying to help Windows 7 marketing, even though they participate in a contest or not.

We’ve talked before about the Windows 7 pricing, so here’s a quick reference to compare it with OEM:

OEM pricing it is extremely important to computer builders, and of course users. But there are some considerations:

• OEM versions are only licensed to one machine. Period. You don’t get the chance to use the same license on a separate machine, even if you don’t have it installed in the original machine.
• Also is required for OEM, clean installations of the operating system. You cannot upgrade any existing installation, you must clean your hard drive first.

Even though the pricing has only been revealed for three versions, we assume that these versions (Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate) will be the selected ones for any computer manufacturer to use. Specially the Home Premium version (yes, I know, I do not like it either).
