I bet that showed him how illogical and rediculous his logic was. At least they could have informed you that they were providing you and your wife those luxuries so you all could have taken advantage of them.

If the rogues are hosted on a server that hosts many websites such as GoDaddy, it is possible for those domains to be suspended by the company that hosts them. However, many rogues are hosted on what I believe are called bulletproof servers. This means that the servers only belong to the bad people and the domains cannot be taken offline.

When it comes to writing, I also lack in creativity. However, I make up for it with good grammar. In my opinion, anything that is both good and unique, meaning her own work, is in a way creative.

I just thought of lelenina randomly. It just suddenly occurred to me one day that if I was going to join a forum, chat room, etc, lelenina is the name I would use.

Also rouge anti-viruses, how would i get the setup file or the actual file its self with out getting infected?
Thanks
It depends on how the rogue is downloaded. If it comes from a fake scanner page, as long as you do not open the file, then you will be fine. If you encounter an exploit that automatically downloads the rogue, then the best thing would be to use a sandbox or a virtual machine because getting infected is inevitable.

How?
in General Chat
I agree. Google results tend to lead into the abyss. Who knows what you'll find.Well now I think you are making Google seem worse than it is. Most Google search results are benign. However, and there are paterns in the search results, but there are many compromized websites that lead to rogues and exploits if the referrer is Google. Google does a moderately good job of marking these malicious websites as being harmful. I think they could do a better job in my opinion..

How?
in General Chat
I don't think you can google "Gimme a rogue, I need to figure out what its files are "I do not mean to sound taunting but honestly, it is surprising how much malware Google can lead unsuspecting victims to. If you have looked at the last couple dozen of my posts, most of those samples were collected as a result of searching on Google.

How do you look for malware (you are a malware hunter)?
What types of malware do you specialize in finding?
Although this is kind of deviating from the original topic:
Basically, and the explanation can get more suffisticated than this, I carelessly browse the internet expecting to find malware. Instead of opening the files, I put them in a .zip archive and upload them on the Newest Malware and Rogue Threats forums. I find all kinds of malware, not just rogues or trojans.

I got into a tiny flamewar with remixed, but he seems nice enough.
I try to avoid flamewars, especially ones that are against people who have more experience than me. Yes he is nice, but he is not afraid of a tiny flamewar. It was a good thing I suggested that I may have forgotten a few more people, because it turns out that I was correct. Jaxryley is another Rogue Reporter who works hard to make sure MBAM detects the newest varients of rogues.

As for spesific people, excellent work Fatdcuk, S!Ri, Shadowwar, RubbeRDuckY, L00N3R, remixed, SpiderLover, Tommyklab, SpikySplinter, and a few others I cannot think of at the moment..

I guess in this situation lying was the way to go. It definitely worked.

Some of the worst or nastiest malware as of now is probably any aggressive rogue or fake antivirus application. Another nasty one is the pornoblocker ransomware. Also, the file infectors are nasty such as Virut, ramnet, and Sality. As for the old nonmodern malware, virus encyclopedias will give you a lot of information about those. CIH is the best example of one of the worst old viruses I can think of right now.

Happy Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, I wonder how scarey it would be going to one of these places on Halloween...

Personally I would go with McAfee. From all of the VirusTotal reports I have looked at, its heuristics are very good. This can lead to more false positives, but it detects more possibly malicious files.

I saw this one on ajokeaday.com
A famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a mangy cat lappingmilk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he does a double take. He recognizes
that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the
store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars.
The storeowner replies "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale.
The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice.
I'll pay you twenty dollars for that cat."
And the owner says "Sold," and hands over the cat.
The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could throw in
that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a dish."
And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer. So far this week I've
sold sixty-eight cats."

Here's the way I see this. Its no big deal if a few of your posts get deleted. Just shrug it off and go on. Don't be thinned skinned about it and don't let your feeling be hurt, just go on and forget it. That's what I try to do. It's not going to do you any good to argue about it. Personally I wouldn't want Ron's job. I would be a raving maniac in a very short time. Now don't get a big head Ron, but I think your doing a good job.
Garybear!
The majority of the topics I start get locked, but that is because I mostly post in the Newest Malware and Rogue Threats, where they are supposed to get locked. So far I do not believe any of my posts have been deleted. However, if that does happen to me I will follow your advice.

I have a 500 gigabyte external USB harddrive where I store all of my important files on. The only other thing I back up is my registry.

I did further checks and, for instance, the newest user, Kiyoshi, shows up as Registered User # 43,137 but has an actual user profile of user # 51,359. My conclusion is that the user profile # is absolute; i.e.; Started with #1 ADMIN and just keeps adding one to the total as each user registers. The main page showing 43,137 Registered Users is based on the number of actual, POSTING-CAPABLE, users which excludes deleted, banned, suspended and dead users.

Thanks for checking. It seems that our theories were correct.

At 12:36 Eastern time we had our 43,000th member join.

Cool. Does that not include banned members and members of other rankings? The reason I ask this is because I am member number 43,483.

Two atoms are walking down the street.
Says one atom to the other, "Hey! I think I lost an electron!"
The other says, "Are you sure??"
"Yes, I'm positive!"
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate!A neutron walks into a restaurant and orders a couple of cokes. As she is about to leave, she asks the waiter how much she owes. The waiter replies, "For you, No Charge!!!"A small piece of ice which lived in a test tube fell in love with a Bunsen burner."Bunsen! my flame! I melt whenever I see you" said the ice. The Bunsen burner replied
:"It's just a phase you're going through".
Why did the white bear dissolve in water? Because it was polar.Why does hamburger have lower energy than steak? Because it's in the ground state.What do you do with dead chemists? Barium.What did one titration tell the other? Let's meet at the endpoint.Why are chemists great for solving problems? They have all the solutions.Did you hear about the chemist who was reading a book about Helium? He just couldn't put it down.And now for the one I actually thought of but it was probably thought of before.

They had to word it in that way? Are you sure the author was absolutely serious when writing this?

Happy birthday Triple Helix, Electrobrandino, Hi-Tech1, and idrinkwater.

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."
I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started......
Lol, very clever. You found the loophole, she did not say miles per hour.

How do you become one of these ranks?
Becoming a Malware Hunter or a Rogue Reporter is relatively easy, just keep uploading samples that MBAM does not detect on a regular basis. Becoming one of the other ranks is more difficult I would assume, I would not even know how to go about it myself. I am guessing you would have to be a well-respected member and maybe the administrators will decide to put you in one of the other ranks.
Profile Question

Hello,
Usually when I look at my profile I can see who last visited it. However, it suddenly disappeared. This only applies to my profile, everyone else's works fine. Does anyone know what setting I might have accidentally changed?
Thanks.
