Don't click here. No, really. I said stay away. I mean it.

Plea from Santa Cruz.

Those of you who are done with all your classes should visit the rest of us so we can keep our sanity while we prepare for finals.

I like it a lot

I like the new layout steph. It looks very pretty. bye bye

accomplished

Okay well I changed it. If you hate it then too bad so sad your dad--SUCK IT UP. Haha just kidding. Well if you hate it that much, just say so and I'll change it again. Toodles.

face lift

I think this blog needs a new look. This dark greyish-bluish scheme is getting tiring to look at. Would anyone object if I change it? Maybe it'll get people back to blogging. But summer's coming up anyway, so I'm sure everyone will start crawling back to it due to boredom.

If nobody objects (or cares to answer) by...let's say tomorrow...I'm gonna change it anyway! Har har har.

Damn people who keep coming up with new worms and viruses

More worms?! I just recently got my computer fixed and there are more viruses and bugs and such. I'm getting freaking paranoid about these things now.

Oh yeah...hope you all enjoy finals. Good luck & I'll see ya kids soon for summer ;)

Sasser: A, B, C, D...

As you all know, the Sasser worm has been coming around lately and so you all should be updating your AV software constantly... considering four variants have appeared in the past couple of days. It exploits something called LSASS, you can read up on that over at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx

Sasser: Friday
Sasser.B: Saturday
Sasser.C:Sunday
Sasser.D:Monday

Luckily, there's been no reports of any further variants. Remember to patch your OS if you haven't done that yet over at http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/.

Also, there's a new version of Stinger out that will help out some, it's located at http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ and it's been updated to catch all four variants of Sasser. If you've never heard of Stinger, it's a small stand-alone virus detection and removal tool that's fine-tuned to catch the biggest and latest threats, it's updated very often.

Also, there's a set of tools over at Symantec which will be helpful for you, they're located over at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/tools.list.html

Also remember to download the latest software definitions for whatever AV program you're using, and if you're poor and can't afford one, there are scanners over at:

Good Luck and Stay Safe.

OMG i have not been online in a million years as it seems. my computer contracted a deadly viral disease. i'm very sad that it never recovered. other than that unfortunate incident, i'm just peachy. and peachy can mean whatever you want it to mean. i'm glad there's only 5 more weeks left of school. i agree with vangy--i'm sick of school. in fact, i've had enough of college man....i just want to graduate already. i can't wait til summer vacation. ha gernez, i hope you get your license before you turn TWENTY this year. (omg how incredibly scary!)
