Anonymous asked:

I just sold a game on Amazon.com (Boogie for the Wii.) This is my first time selling something there and I’m confused on how the shipping works. Do I have to send it in my mail or give it to UPS/Fed-Ex? Or does Amazon send Fed-Ex and give me a box for me to put it in, then come back the next day to pick it up?

Flash/Facebook Trojan: “secret video by.” spawns fake Flash update?

theweb — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:33:17 +0000

Evan R asked:

I received a Facebook message with a link to a faux youtube video, which then prompted me to download a Flash update. Like a fool, I did it.

Now my Google search results are heading to “Find-www.net” and then on to “lowpriceshopper”.

I am in a lot of pain now as I search for a way to fix this bad boy.

Any help (ideally beyond the obvious of run a virus and spyware scan) would be appreciated.
I have found someone suffering my problem: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Facebook-Virus-Google-Redirect-t212616.html
Unfortunately, this does not seem to have a happy ending yet.
This seems like a possible tool for fixing:
Swandog46’s Public Anti-Malware Tools
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger2/avenger2.html

ThreatFire just posted an article, but no fix:
http://blog.threatfire.com/

…looks like I am in for a rebuild. :^(
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t178287.html

…looks like I may have a fix…
So Koobface was the correct name of my virus. Tinyproxy.exe and Bolivar28.exe were the two processes that did the damage as described in the ThreatFire article: http://blog.threatfire.com/2008/12/koobface-anti-emulation-time-lock-trick.html

TrendMicro’s HijackThis fixed it, which FYI, is a great piece of software: http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html

Hope no one else gets Koobface, or tinyproxy, or bolivar, but if so, this is the fix.

What can I use to build my own social network website?

theweb — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:25:39 +0000

Wes Ide asked:

I recently attended a once-in-a-lifetime family reunion, meeting family I never knew existed, along with those I knew fairly well. At the event, I took the opportunity to shoot each family member introducing themselves on video. Shortly thereafter, the idea arose of creating a MySpace clone just for our family. We could put our pictures from the reunion, as well as our own pictures, and the video introduction could be on each member’s page, etc.

I am wondering how to go about doing this. Is there a website kit I can find somewhere? I’ve been browsing some sites, came across Dolphin – but that appears to be a dating site by the search fields I saw, and Mashable was interesting but didn’t seem to have any articles that could help me.

Can anyone suggest any software or something similar that I can use to set up such a network?

Thank you!
