Q: Unable to remove a trojan that affects IE

I'm unable to remove a Trojan from my computer (and also that of a colleague). I think it came from a compromised Drupal website which had 5 malicious PHP scripts (now removed). I have run several anti-virus scans on my computer (Panda, AVG, Malware Bytes, HijackThis, and RKill), emptied my IE...

can we get this moved to superuser instead?

Journeyman Geek

@MarkBuffalo it'll get closed as a dupe

Mark Buffalo

ah, ok

David Freitag

Wooo 17°C and thunderstorming with 29km/h sustained winds and 80km/h gusts.

Micheal

@DavidFreitag Sounds like fun? Stay safe and dry.

David Freitag

03:51

@Micheal Oh the torrential downpours stopped not too long ago

Micheal

I hope you are sending them to California. We need the rain. :(

David Freitag

Somehow I don't think so

Micheal

One could hope.

David Freitag

04:19

I really hope the power doesn't go out

Mark Buffalo

04:57

@DavidFreitag Thundersnow is fun :o

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo last I checked it didn't snow when it was 17°C out...

Mark Buffalo

Wait, 17c? I thought you said -17c

That caught me off guard

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo pls, its march, not january

Terry Chia

@LucasKauffman Picked this up at the airport. :)

David Freitag

I so can't wait to get out of this apartment

Rory Alsop

Morning all - had a minus 4 drive to the airport this morning. Standard February weather :-)

Not even very skiddy

Mildly disappointed

@TerryChia nice

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop It's 15°C and violently thunderstorming

Rory Alsop

05:59

That would make for a more exciting flight, but no, here I have crystal clear skies, mildly icy, smooth. Think I'll sleep.

Lucas Kauffman

06:09

@TerryChia nice

David Freitag

KABOOOOOOOOM

Transformer just blew up

sparks flying everywhere

Mark Buffalo

06:36

@TerryChia Not sure if chocolate, pocky, cigarettes, or alcohol

@DavidFreitag Hate it when that happens. We used to have squirrels that doubled as super mutant suiciders. They'd run up the pole, chew on the power lines and get their shit ruined something fierce

You could see the fried squirrel corpses next to the transformers

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo Clearly says whisky

@MarkBuffalo It's raining 1"/4s

120km/h gusts

and my back door keeps blowing open because it's a flaming piece of crap

Mark Buffalo

Dang

So you'll be moving to the new apartment soon?

We're actually about to buy a house near my work place

David Freitag

Sunday

Mark Buffalo

That's great, man.

My job here is turning out really nice, and it's a career-style place to work

Micheal

security.stackexchange.com/questions/115694/…. Asks about mobile, but then asks about Windows net send ... Uhm.

Mark Buffalo

happens

Micheal

/me shrugs

Awwww, no /me? :'(

Mark Buffalo

Nope :(

We've been betrayed by SE devs

Micheal

07:47

I feel like I should yell out Kahhhhhhhhhnnnn.

Journeyman Geek

lol

I'm pretty sure I have a userscript that does that

Maybe an addon

test

All it does is wrap what comes after /me inside italics tho

Micheal

o_O

M'vy

08:29

hello

Micheal

Howdy.

M'vy

agrees

probably one of the SE Chat script

Lighty

Morning

kalina

bonjour

M'vy

github.com/rchern/StackExchangeScripts

kalina

08:36

I can't believe how cold it is

I thought we were on our way to summer

M'vy

it's possible some of that has been implemented in chat already

And Bonjour @kalina

AviD

@kalina yay! you're talking to me again!

M'vy

@kalina I want snow!

kalina

pls I need double figure temperatures not this 8 degrees stuff

M'vy

@kalina and you call 8 degree cold? ARgh

kalina

08:37

8 degrees is cold

I was definitely designed to laze around on the beach all day

which is probably why I like bed so much

I need coffee

Micheal

Grrrr. It's past midnight. Annoying how time keeps moving forward like that.

kalina

@Micheal when you start a game of civilization 5 at 8pm and then suddenly it's 4am and you're still thinking "just... one more turn"

Micheal

I did that for the OSCP. "Just one more box ..." "Oooh, it's 4AM, I have to go to work in a couple of hours."

kalina

I'm just going to listen to this track a couple more times... oh it's 3am suddenly and I have the entire track in pieces performing a major rewrite

well I can't stop now, I won't remember what I was doing in the morning and will have to roll back!

.oO( 8am )

I need to get out of the habit of impulse buying games

lastnight I was browsing through steam and obviously it's steam so of course they've got a sale on

Micheal

Wait, there's a steam sale right now?

brb.

M'vy

08:50

Midweek Madness ?

kalina

I don't remember if it was the midweek madness or a random game they've got on offer

since Steam always has a sale on

the worst of it is I have so many steam games I'm not sure which one it was I bought

M'vy

you can always check your library

usually they don't let you buy it twice

though I might have to version of Deus Ex I think

kalina

no but I have like 500 games

of which at least 25% of them I don't even remember buying

it's ok I checked my email

so the game I bought was called Invisible, Inc

which is like a stylized isometric stealth game

M'vy

hm. Remmebers me I never finished "Stealth Bastard"

Micheal

When did Amazon change the layout for books' product pages? Ugh that is painful.

kalina

09:05

@M'vy I completed Remember Me though

which was a weird game that had more potential than it actually realized

M'vy

@kalina That's what I fear when I saw the pitch

kalina

the problem was is the people who made it obviously had no ambition

they put a bunch of cool toys in the game and then used them... never

like memory remixing

and the ability to rewind

and then padded out the rest of the game with meh third person beat 'em up gameplay

M'vy

I though that was the all point of the game?

kalina

and then... quicktime events boss fights

Rоry McCune

Mornin' all

kalina

09:09

no

comfy bed time, not morning

Rоry McCune

@kalina :op soz morning is calling, like the first morning.

kalina

I felt so bad lastnight, I knocked my surface off the bed and it bounced

and then I looked at it, realized it was the one with the broken kickstand and then didn't care

Rоry McCune

@kalina aww poor damaged surface

kalina

this scenario should never happen but apparently I'm able to bend the laws of space and starfishing takes up the entire bed

Rоry McCune

I see the surface book seems to be available in the UK now.

kalina

09:12

either that or orange is the new black bored me into trying new things

M'vy

hmmm...

kalina

@RоryMcCune meh

Rоry McCune

@kalina I didn't realise the surface book had become "meh", turned over for some new shininess?

kalina

@RоryMcCune well all of my excitement was spent unboxing two sp4s which happened ages ago

I'm not going to get excited over "basically the same thing again"

looking at the surface book reviews it looks like they've still got all the same problems as the sp4s

the battery usage on these is shocking

they're such a let down for "tablet use"

they're really a let down for "pc use"

and they need to learn how to go to sleep

Lighty

Yesterday we talked about the "==" "===" operators and some kind of exploit (?) in PHP, was there a related question of that? I forgot

M'vy

euh

Micheal

09:49

PHP has this annoying thing about comparisons. "asdf' === "asdf" is true, but "asdf" == "asdf" can be false. :/ The PHP docs explain it better than I can at 2AM: php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php

kalina

oh no can we avoid that discussion again

that discussion was so boring

M'vy

yeah, I agree. We did talk about it

kalina

writers block is such a mindfuck

Micheal

10:05

Whatcha writing?

kalina

nothing at the moment

I'm just pushing half baked subpar ideas around on the screen

Rоry McCune

@kalina I'd heard MS had finally fixed that problem in the last firmware release...

kalina

@RоryMcCune is that so, is that like how they fixed it in the firmware version before that one?

or the one before that one?

Matthew

@RоryMcCune Have they fixed the problem with Windows 10 where your Start menu doesn't open because something has become corrupt following a windows update?

kalina

and if that's the case maybe we could answer this question...

my other SP4 has not been used since my last performance, which was the weekend before last

Rоry McCune

10:10

@Matthew heh, not sure about that one

kalina

at that point it had 75% charge and was put into sleep

after 3 hours the device is supposed to hibernate

if the device was hibernated then it would use a grand total of 0% battery

yet it was dead flat yesterday and required charging for several minutes before it would even power up

Matthew

@RоryMcCune I wasn't impressed with that. Thankfully, I keep most of the important things in my dock!

kalina

@Matthew haven't seen this issue

also the more I use Windows 10 on the surface the more I dislike it

the issue doesn't exist on desktop

Matthew

@kalina It's common enough that there are articles on how to fix it lying around. This seems to be a fairly important flaw though...

kalina

but on the surface it's so really obvious when you drop through the windows 10 UI into the windows 2000 UI

like control panel for example

because it's not designed for touch at all

Matthew

10:13

@kalina That sounds like when my tablet goes into hibernate, then wakes itself up to perform updates, leaves the screen on when it does them, then dies...

kalina

@Matthew oh performing updates murders it

but I am sympathetic enough to what it's doing to accept it

since obviously before you get to the desktop you have no power management and the cpu is also running at 100% with no speedstep

Matthew

@kalina I'd probably mind less if it didn't pick the night before I'm travelling to do this. I've got into the habit of turning it off completely after charging it when I know I'm going to want it the next day. Charging it also turns it back on...

kalina

@Matthew well yes, it always seems to be flat when I want to use it

I don't mind the auto restart much

although I do mind that it doesn't care what's open when it decides to restart

I had to break my habit of leaving stuff open to resume it tomorrow

because intermittently I'll arrive back at an empty desktop of a PC that just finished windows updates

nothing more disheartening to the creative process than losing work

Matthew

@kalina My main bugbear with Windows Update is that it always does it when I'm trying to go home

kalina

well that's because you don't let it automatically reboot itself in the middle of the night

Matthew

10:24

@kalina Laptop. It's off in the middle of the night, sitting in a nice warm bag, usually

kalina

I never turn anything off

AviD

@kalina @Adi says otherwise :P

kalina

computers, lights, even the cooker at times

too absent minded

AviD

aww man and she doesnt even see my comments, that was gold

somebody tell her that line!

Matthew

I did go into my home office the other day to find it boiling - I'd forgotten to turn off the radiator

AviD

10:26

@Matthew tell her! chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/27825775#27825775

kalina

I prefer it to be boiling

I hate the cold so much

Rоry McCune

@AviD pls get a sock puppet

AviD

@RоryMcCune I have you

kalina

if he uses a sockpuppet to circumvent my ignore I will make a formal complaint to team@se

Matthew

@kalina There is a difference between comfortably warm and houseplants wilting...

AviD

10:27

hahaha

Rоry McCune

@AviD yeah not doing it :op

kalina

since that crosses the line of harassment, I don't want to speak to him or see what he says

AviD

@kalina I dont need a sockpuppet, I can just modabuse anybody and modedit any comment to a secret message to @kalina

@RоryMcCune cmon! just say it!

it was a good joke!

Rоry McCune

makes sense I find it annoying when I have to see convo's relating to people who I've got on ignore

kalina

@Matthew oh I have no houseplants, I never worked out the right amount of love to give a plant for it to not die

Matthew

10:28

@kalina Nor have I, but I keep trying

Rоry McCune

although I don't think any of my ignore targets has been on here in aages

Matthew

@kalina All the leaves fell off one I have in my office. I think I watered it too much

I thought plants liked water

kalina

@RоryMcCune if I mattered enough for him to be bothered enough to try and circumvent my ignore, maybe he shouldn't have annoyed me sufficiently to get back to that state again?

anyway, I'm not discussing it, choices were made, repercussions occur

@Matthew I know, who would have thought

and sunlight

apparently watering them with direct sunlight on them is murder as well

Matthew

@kalina Apparently, they object to sitting in a puddle. And to not being watered. And to being given alternate flood/drought seasons

AviD

@kalina forgive him, for he knows not what he does.

Rоry McCune

10:41

@Matthew cactii that's what you need

Matthew

@RоryMcCune I have a couple of dragon trees, which are supposed to be practically indestructable

kalina

do they breathe fire

Matthew

And an orchid, which does surprisingly well - it handles my drought/flood waterring methods well

@kalina Sadly not...

kalina

well it's not a very good dragon then

Matthew

@kalina I did complain about this to my wife

kalina

11:14

you too can sit here all day listening to your lead riff played back at half speed and go EUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I DON'T WANNA

Matthew

@kalina Get them to syncopate the hook and reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. Bound to help

Q: designing secure DMZ using 2 firewalls and DMZ switches

Read your article on DMZ design and would like to have your serious opinion on my current implementation. We are in the process of completing the network infrastructure for our new College Campus and on cross roads with the contractors. We have 2 redundant Firewalls - one for the Perimeter level...

network firewalls dmz

Matthew

@Lighty They seem optimistic...

kalina

@Matthew OH YOU!

tricking me into reviewing all outstanding reviews on sec.se

Matthew

11:22

@kalina It's saving you from a half speed lead riff nightmare

I'm installing Debian on a VM... Fun...

Lighty

I have the best use-case test in the world

I have to test an app for dead people

Matthew

@Lighty Zombie dating?

Lighty

@Matthew Fingerprints!

Matthew

@Lighty I don't think anyone has tried matching people based on their fingerprints, but it might work, I suppose...

Lighty

most scanners don't pick up cold fingerprints

so we have a special add-on for an iPhone with lightning plugs (that new connection?)

and its mainly for identification

but also to send to these companies, that use it on Urns, Necklaces etc.

But I get to go to the morgue once a week to use it on actual dead people...

kalina

11:28

smells rotten

Matthew

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a fun job...

Lighty

@Matthew Dead people don't complain all the time

kalina

I took a note, sawtooth wave, right off this pantomime four, ran it back here, re-jammed it through itself, looped it back, mixed it with the sound of this crab committing suicide, and let it stew in its own reverb for about three hours, right? And then I pump it all out through this shoe, to give it that oaky timbre.

Lighty

so Its fun

Rоry McCune

@kalina then you reversed the polarity of the neutron flow and opened up the Gravitron interface?

Matthew

11:31

@kalina I think you should aim for a more cedar-y timbre. Gives it a more modern, Scandinavian vibe

kalina

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll... cross the streams...

Lighty

@kalina And what about the sample? Is it pure enough?

Matthew

@kalina NOOOOOOO!!!!! NEVER CROSS THE STREAMS!!!!!!

Rоry McCune

@Matthew unless you want your vibe to stay puft

AviD

@Matthew had a bad experience in a public restroom?

Lighty

11:37

I tested my own fingerprints on said "ded-ppl-app"

A burn mark from a lighter

Ca. 3 years ago

Matthew

@Lighty Did it give you access to your coffin?

Lighty

@Matthew What do you mean? xd

the scar on my finger makes alot of biometric systems no-as-usable (also noting it is on my hand I dont use for biometrics), and is safely used as a show-model of the new system xd

kalina

@Lighty thanks for sharing your fingerprint on the internet

my oneplustwo keeps hanging

I'm not impressed with the experience

Lighty

@kalina the line right about your message explains why its not a problem

xd

kalina

@Lighty that changes nothing

NOTHING CHANGED

also tut tut smokers

Lighty

11:47

@kalina tut tut smokers?

kalina

yes tut tut smokers

cigarettes are bad for you
