Getting rid of the "feedyard / Britania search" virus

So I had this bloody spyware virus and it is really a pain to get rid of ... Especially since nobody really knows how !

So here are the instructions:

First download

http://www.gmer.net/#files


Please note that the virus is often with a single browser so if you have it with mozilla then try using internet explorer until its fixed

Then run the tool which will most likely say "You have a root kit bla bla" extended scan.

After the scan is finished you will have to look at this

http://www2.gmer.net/gmer.wmv on how to delete it (basically just remove the red marked items !)


Now just download http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php

Malware bytes, do a full scan

Reboot and done.

Comments if you liked it !

PLEASE NOTE : IF YOU SEE A SCIENCETOLIGY ADVERTISEMENT NEXT TO THIS BLOG , I AM SORRY I DO NOT SUPPORT THEM BUT THEY SEEM TO PAY GOOGLE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPAM MY BLOG. SO SORRY FOR THIS.


I was only 4 when I saw her for the first time, playing in the sand on the beach of Malahide with her father. My beauty, my goddess.. Her blond hair and blue eyes made me go crazy... the sexy pink dress she was wearing got me wild. My mother tried to stop me going to her but she couldn't stop what was meant to be. When I finally arrived next to my love and the sandcastle she build I was in ecstasy. My diaper was filling up with sea water, the sand blown up by the wind was hurting my fragile skin but I didn't care anymore I was with my love. We looked in each others eyes and then she handed my over the little green plastic shovel and bucket accessory. "Play castle" she said and so we played on the beach all day until suddenly...

I was only 4 when I saw her for the first time, playing with a ball on the beach of Malahide with her Mother. My beauty, my goddess.. Her black hair and green eyes made me go crazy... the sexy blue dress she was wearing got me wild. My mother tried to stop me going to her but she couldn't stop what was meant to be. When I finally arrived next to my love and the ball she had... I was in ecstasy. My diaper was filled up with sea water, the sand blown up by the wind was caused my fragile skin to be all red but I didn't care anymore I was with my love. We looked in each others eyes and then she handed my over the ball. "Play ball" she said and so we played on the beach all day until suddenly...

Waking up in twice..

It happens to everyone and most likely it already happened a few times and believe me it will happen again.

Let me describe what happened this morning: as the alarm went off around 7ish I decided to snooze it for about an hour until my girlfriend went out of bed and got dressed to go to work. Since her work is less flexible then mine she was forced out of the bed, I on the other hand decided to turn around for some bonus sleep. As I woke up again I felt i was late , I hurried out of bed to take a quick shower but to my suprise i was in the attic of my old house in the Netherlands. Their in the corner was a square shaped bath tub which was filling up surprisingly fast ! As I stepped in the bath tub i noticed that the water was a perfect temperature.. But no time for relaxition I need to go to work a quick scrub and I got out of the bath tub and dried my self off but still i felt a bit sleepy.. I lay down in my bed for just a 5 minute power sleep.... As I woke up again I realized that I never took a bath in my old house, it was all a dream and I hurried out to my bathroom. This time it was my own bathroom, I took a quick pee and fiddled with a long mirror in the bathroom so that it would get stuck behind the toilet bowl on a height so that my girlfriend (who is a bit smaller then me) and I have a good view. As I fiddled around the tall mirror just dropped behind the toilet so i could not reach it anymore. Then I realize again I should not play around but take a shower! As I head for the shower I took a final glimpse in another mirror we have in the bathroom and I realize that i have a strange looking rash on my face , it goes from one ear over my face to the other and the red rash is strangely enough shaped as tired tracks. How weird is that but i think it might have been caused by these new sunglasses i was wearing. I splash my face with cold water and then feeling more awake by it wash my entire face !. I'm awake ready to go to work !. Walking to my bedroom i get dressed and take my phone and notice that the time was already 11:38.

I wake up again, this time for real. The time is 09:50 and I am late for work

A new day – A new Sci-Fi blog

Since I am trying to relax a bit more I decided to put some effort in writing my Novel. Here is a little snippet that might spark a bit of curiosity


…….

5 December 2014.

It was so cold yesterday that I was freezing my balls off walking back from work. The hail storms and the green rains are making it harder for me to get out of bed everyday but apparently I have to. “Bills need to be paid, mouths need to be fed” was what my dad used to say. My dad slaved away at Sytronics for 34 years before they sacked him in the 2009 depression, 34 years of hard work and his reward was a lousy unemployment scheme that barely feeds him and my mother.

It was little past 8PM when I turned on the television and my first welcome was that of “Sky NEWS – The best news channel for the last decade”, it is interesting how corporations keep on inventing their own awards so they can call themselves the best in something; interesting and very sad I guess.

“Breaking news, the United World Association has discovered various new terrorist cells in The Netherlands, Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland"."The CybTer group which has know links with Al-Qaida and is responsible for various crimes against the world has been linked in “.* zap * as I switch of the propaganda box.

After the global meltdown of 2009, the leaders of the rich countries decided to create a single government, a world government of peace and prosperity. Those famous words were spoken by President Obama in December of that year and not even 12 months later it was in place. A so called “yes we can” change for global government.

Meanwhile the markets are still favouring the rich and the creation of a single world government has resulted in terrorist alerts everywhere in the world now. Maybe the World Wide Web has something in store for me, maybe some news about my web decoder I have been waiting for the last 3 weeks. As I open my Gmail box I noticed 1 unread email

“Re: Decoder order”.

Order: 12XAA543-21 has been delivered to Postal box : 2214 in Merrion Delivery station. Access pincode: 1424 needed to accept.


…..


This is just a little snippet of what will be come a 300 page novel (or a lot less ) and since writers can take years and years to write their first book I will have to take my time :D

Well more to come in the future, if there is still a future by then ! ;-)

The search for a genius

If you open a dictionary and look up the word “genius” you might something like

1 aplural genii : an attendant spirit of a person or place bplural usually genii : a person who influences another for good or bad2: a strong leaning or inclination : PENCHANT3 a: a peculiar, distinctive, or identifying character or spirit b: the associations and traditions of a place c: a personification or embodiment especially of a quality or condition4plural usually genii : SPIRIT, JINNI5plural usually geniuses a: a single strongly marked capacity or aptitude b: extraordinary intellectual power especially as manifested in creative activity c: a person endowed with transcendent mental superiority ; especially : a person with a very high IQ


When I think about the word “genius” I will automatically go for option 5b or 5c but this is just the interpretation of one fifth of the dictionary meaning. Wikipedia on the other hand used by journalists all around for facts and figureswould describe genius as

A genius is an individual who successfully applies a previously unknown technique in the production of a work of art, science, or calculation, or who masters and personalizes a known technique.

For Wikipedia it is apparently not enough for you to be smart or extraordinary but you also need to have an applied technique to “show” off your geniusness. The one thing both descriptions do have in common is that it needs to be observed by a third party. Although some none geniuses think that they are and vice versa.

More then often you find that most geniuses become geniuses after they have perished and their tombstones will be carved with their name and the date, nothing fancy and no A+ on their graves. It is only after they have died that the public, the 3rd party will say. Wow his theories were genius, this makes absolute sense “Darwin my friend you are a genius indeed”.

Realizing that most geniuses were brilliant minds discovered after their death is something that the dictionary knows as well and if you look further into it, you will find that actually the first meaning and understanding of the word both in mythology , and in the dictionary refers to a spirit.

So I found my genius,

"may it roam the world and inspire many others, may it rest in peace"

Al-Who? What does the word “Al-Qaeda” mean?

In my quest for knowledge and truth I went on a fact seeking mission which I had done a couple of years earlier as well. I am talking about my search for the meaning of the word “Al-Qaeda”. If you do a Google search, you most likely will find something like this “terrorist network intensely opposed to the United States that dispenses money and logistical support and training to a wide variety of radical Islamic terrorist groups; has cells in more than 50 countries”, or this “a radical Sunni Muslim organization dedicated to the elimination of a Western presence in Arab countries and militantly opposed to Western foreign policy: founded by Osama bin Laden in 1988.”

So just to sum up, the meaning of the word Al-Qaeda is:

“Terrorist organization founded by Osama bin laden in 1988 with more than 50 countries that contain Terror cells”

At least this is the western interpretation and sadly enough the sources and meanings of the word that I found years ago have been replaced with the newer meaning (Long life propaganda!). But I did manage to get some other translations and sources to help me out.

In Arabic, "Al-Qaeda" has different meanings, among them “Base", "Ground", "Norm", "Rule", "Fundament", "Grammar". The exact meaning is dependent on the context in which it is used. It depends on the word which follows “Al-Qaeda” in the sentence. "Qawa´ad Askaria" is an Army Base, "Qawa´ad Lugha" stands for Grammar Rules (the Bases of Grammar).
"Qa´ada" is the infinitive of the verb "to sit". "Ma-Qa´ad" is a chair. "Al-Qaeda" is the base or fundament of something. "Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I´m going to the toilet". A very common and widespread use of the word “Al-Qaeda” in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb “Qa´ada” which means “to sit”, pertinently, on the “Toilet Bowl”. In most Arab homes, there are two kinds of toilets: “Al-Qaeda” also called the "Hamam Franji" or foreign toilet, and "Hamam Arabi" or “Arab toilet” which is a hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the potty used by small children is called "Ma Qa´adia" or "Little Qaeda".


Those who founded the glorious "International Islamic Terror, Al-Qaeda, probably knew too little about common use of Arabic language to know that by using this name for their organization, they risked becoming the laughing stock of everybody who speaks the Arabic "public" language.

So apparently the world wide terrorist group couldn’t get a cool terrorist name and decided for some potty talk slang instead? What is also noticeable is that the word Al-Qaeda has never been used until after September 11! I tried searching Google and Google news and internet archives but apparently the world wide terrorist group (yes please let it be noted that it has cells in more then 50 countries) did not have internet access until after the attacks (even though they were founded in 1988). So what kind of marketing did they do if it took them almost 14 years to get a bloody Internet connection? Were they not high tech enough? Did America Online not have service in that area? Well Mr. Rumsfeld said it was a very high tech cave indeed so why would they not have internet?




Here is another source:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2004/oct/15/broadcasting.bbc

"Curtis points out that al-Qaida did not even have a name until early 2001, when the American government decided to prosecute Bin Laden in his absence and had to use anti-Mafia laws that required the existence of a named criminal organisation."

"Curtis also cites the Home Office’s own statistics for arrests and convictions of suspected terrorists since September 11 2001. Of the 664 people detained up to the end of last month, only 17 have been found guilty. Of these, the majority were Irish Republicans, Sikh militants or members of other groups with no connection to Islamist terrorism. Nobody has been convicted who is a proven member of al-Qaida. "

"Jonathan Eyal, director of the British military think tank The Royal United Services Institute: "In purely military terms, it has been an inconclusive war ... a rather haphazard operation. Al-Qaida managed the most spectacular attack, but clearly it is also being sustained by the way that we rather cavalierly stick the name al-Qaida on Iraq, Indonesia, the Philippines. There is a long tradition that if you divert all your resources to a threat, then you exaggerate it."

""Almost no one questions this myth about al-Qaida because so many people have got an interest in keeping it alive," says Curtis. He cites the suspiciously circular relationship between the security services and much of the media since September 2001: the way in which official briefings about terrorism, often unverified or unverifiable by journalists, have become dramatic press stories which - in a jittery media-driven democracy - have prompted further briefings and further stories. Few of these ominous announcements are retracted if they turn out to be baseless: "There is no fact-checking about al-Qaida."

" "This is a very rickety platform from which to build up a political career," says Eyal. He sees the war on terror as a hurried improvisation rather than some grand Straussian strategy: "In democracies, in order to galvanize the public for war, you have to make the enemy bigger, uglier and more menacing."


Because this is the second time I researched this word, I can see more clearly now the powers of the media and how they can change the definition of one word into another over time. If the media were alchemists then lead would have been turned to gold already. (Even though it is still lead you will think it is gold)

My last reference for this story is called “the emperor’s new clothes”.
