			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>so theres this very irritatin bit of malware thats been doin the roundz of the internet for a couple of months&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..named XP Antivirus 2008</p>
<p>Infection #1</p>
<p>back in april&#8230;..on my moms laptop&#8230;..shed been browsin,wen sm antivirus thingy popped outta her taskbar n showd a report dat said the comp hd been infected wid abt 3 trojans(no report from avira whatsoever),and recommended a site which had specific removal tools for them&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..so she went on the said site n clicked download&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..this then downloaded a file,and then proceeded to open about a 100 windows of internet explorer,when she&#8217;d tried to close them via task manager,it showed that it task manager could only be opened and used by administrator,which was pretty awkward,as she was on her administrator account&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Recovery #1</p>
<p>transferred firefox to her laptop via usb&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;searched around for a specific tool to kill the malware&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>found a symantec tool for it,which didnt quite work,so finally had to perform a system recovery to about 12 hours before the infection&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>All is well.<br />
Infection #2</p>
<p>last week,again on mom&#8217;s laptop&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;she&#8217;d opened a spammy ecard which found itself in her outlook inbox&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.and again appeared the little icon in the taskbar,and its trusty sidekick,telling her that there were more than 126 viruses and trrojans on the disk,in the form of a fake report&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..no internet explorer manipulation this time around&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.the wall paper changes to a fake report about how many viruses there are on the drive,and the display properties menu is locked&#8230;.the administrator bullsh*t again&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Recovery #2</p>
<p>went online,searched fo specific fix&#8230;&#8230;.nothing in sight&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.had to try to restore the system,which somehow,decided only to let me restore to about 5 minutes ago,which,as tou all knw,is next to useless&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.with the last loss-free option gone,the only thing that could be done to save moms old laptop,was to completely reformat the c drive&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>So,we said good bye to all the data on the c drive,and were left lamenting for a better antivirus(avira failed again)&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Moral of the entire story:NOD32 and Kaspersky ar he only 2 functional antivirus systems in todays world.</p>
<p>All is well,except for an astonishingly empty c drive.</p>

<p>There lived a pair of head-lice,</p>
<p>Who grew vegetables,lentils,wheat and rice.</p>
<p>They lived in a forest,of human hair,</p>
<p>They lived so long;men just dont care&#8230;.</p>
<p>One fine day,they had a fight,</p>
<p>It went on and on;the entire night.</p>
<p>Sleepless,yet tireless;they quarrelled on,</p>
<p>Without a pause;dusk to dawn&#8230;</p>
<p>Reason and debate;turned to violence,</p>
<p>A piercing wail;turned to silence&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>A marriage broken;a life taken,</p>
<p>All due to the fight;god-forsaken&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>He started to cry;shed many a tear,</p>
<p>Just about then,man found clinic all-clear&#8230;..</p>
<p>Great thunder,then poisonous foam,</p>
<p>Dissolved two lice,and their little home&#8230;..</p>
<p>Here at the end,I have but one doubt,</p>
<p>What was their little fight,all about?????????</p>
