Never ever install this kind of software! There is no free lunch!

近来, 文学城没有了跳出式广告, 却引进了如下的恶意软件链接.

Recently, a website I access everyday started popping up this kind of message.  Be careful, the ‘antivirus’ software it introduces is Trojan malware, which could affect your system very badly.

Here is how it looks, gets your attention, and eventually lets you install the software.

You will see this pop-up first.  What?  My PC is affected.  I don’t believe you, close this pop-up.

Clicking the ‘X’ or ‘Cancel’ or whatever will bring you to the next window.  Is this your system?  See it again?  I don’t think so.  Close the window.

Again, it won’t close, just gives you another pop-up message.  You know, at this stage you cannot get rid of it, just click ‘Cancel’ or ‘X’.

Another pop-up, actually this is not a pop-up, just another web page from securedvirusscanner.com.  See, it can scan your system so quickly.  Too good to be true.  Don’t believe it, just try to close the window.

It will give your warning again,

and again.

Finally, it will show you what it wanted you to do.  DO NOT CLICK RUN!!!  If you download and run the exe, your PC will become a zombie.

Just click ‘Cancel’, this time you can close it.  Don’t forget to run a legitimate virus scan after all, and also tell your friends to be careful.  There is no free lunch, just buy one from a decent software vendor.

There are two websites talk about this malware site, it seems there is solution if your PC got affected.  You need to know how to modify Windows registry and there is no prove of the solution, also I do NOT encourage you download the “automatic remover” from these websites.  You either do it manually by yourself or give it to someone you can trust.

Here are the websites:

恢复SD卡中的数据或照片(转贴)

     想起上次硬盘数据丢失的教训及恢复成功经验,我上网查阅能够恢复SD卡数据的软件。经过1个多小时的努力,所有丢失的照片都完好无损地找回来了。以下是恢复的简单过程,提供给大家,一同参考。
软件名称及下载地址:
EasyRecovery Professional 6.10.07
下载地址:
http://www.onlinedown.net/soft/11308.htm
EasyRecovery Professional 6.10.07 中文补丁
下载地址:
http://www.onlinedown.net/soft/35758.htm
问题症状:
1、SD在数码相机&电脑里只看见部分图片,原来照片有200多张,但只见50多张。sd卡放到电脑里点属性总容量为246M 已用238M 可用8M,但是打开SD目录全选里面所有文件夹总容量为123M 其他容量不见。
2、设置显示所有隐藏文件,仍然找不到丢失的文件!
处理过程:
1、运行EasyRecovery Professional 6.10.07 软件,选择SD卡,点击软件界面左列 data recovery进行搜索恢复。
2、恢复了一些CHK文件,但无法打开,打开方法将其文件后缀名“CMK”改为“JPG”便可打开。
3、为了继续恢复其他没有恢复出来的照片,我用这个软件重试了几次,无效!又上网找了其他恢复软件,同样无效果!
4、最后无意中发现在用此软件恢复之前点SD属性,进行选择“工具”——“查错”处理。之后再运行EasyRecovery Professional 进行恢复数据。
5、重新恢复,——ok!!丢失的照片全部回来!而且还恢复了之前那些被删除的照片,虽然没有什么意义,但给一个启发——就是SD卡被删除的照片,利用软件也有可能被恢复,所以如果有什么重要特别机密的文件不要以为成功删除便可放心了,如果遇到有心人,还是可以看见的!

可以恢复删除而丢失的各类文件,查询删除日志。转移恢复的各类数据。
提醒:本记只是有意给那些无意删除重要数据又想恢复的朋友们提供参考,请勿用于非正常用途。只是个人的小小总结,有不科学之处请高手指教。

转贴注:此法或亦可用于恢复USB盘数据,未试。

I am going to re-org my space lists in the next few days.

Today, I found many links in my space lists are either inactive or discontinued.  I want to kick them out, and re-categorize the list.  It should include the followings personal lists:
  • 博客部落 … some of my favourite blog links
  • 网友相册 … some good online photo albums
  • 朝花夕拾 … my posts in other blog sites
  • 多伦多实用手册 … useful links if you live in Toronto(GTA)
  • 参考|其它 … online reference links
  • 欧游杂记 … this is my blog about the trip to Europe
  • Just Notes … this is my vocabulary, new words.  You know, I am an ESL student.

For the technical stuff, I haven’t decided, it would contain these:

  • Information Technology …  all about computer, Internet, the industry, news, etc., may include commercial/official non-tech sites
  • Internet – shall I add one here, for the Internet trends, tips and stuff?
  • Microsoft Tech Sites … Everything interesting from MS official website, blogs will put in the next category
  • Focus on Microsoft, eh? … Blogs from MS guys, mvps, fans, etc., all about MS
  • Windows & Tools … More technical stuff, focus on Windows platform and tools, from all sources except MS.
  • Exchange/Outlook + LCS/OCS … I am thinking about changing this to UC, which includes email message, instant message and unified message topics.
  • Security – ISA, TMG, IAG … MS security efforts.

Anything else?  seems already too much to manage.

For the blogs, I also want to re-org, but found that I cannot sort, rename the categories.  Microsoft should fix this.
