A precautionary measure...

, , , ...

Dear Readers,

Once every 4 months I check my computer for virus using
an online service(free)as a precautionary measure and to check my regular anti-virus program has not skipped anything.

I am aware there many of these services out on the net.
I have and am using the Eset service(links and info bellow).

Why Eset? The other services would not run on Opera or Firefox or Chrome, only on Microsoft Internet Explorer(I use this browser for one per cent(%01)of all browsing time).

You will be asked to download
Step .1) ESET Smart Installer
Step .2)Configure the scanner(see pictures)
Step .3)uninstall scanner
Step .4)delete the ESET Smart Installer from hard drive

It took about 35 mins. to scan 260Gb.
You will need broadband connection.








I advice you to un-check the "remove found threats" you can always do a second scan.

Make sure that it is not a false positive. Note the virus name and file name, run your anti-virus program on these files, if both are positive, then have your software clean these files and back-up your data and then do a clean fresh install, this means formatting your hard drive.
If you are not comfortable with reformatting and installing your system, get someone that can help you. If you do not have installation disks, use your system with caution and look for help as soon as possible.

Check the "scan archive" box.

How to test your anti-virus software:

WARNING: PLEASE USE THE TEST AT THE EICAR WEB ADDRESS
AND NOT A DIFFERENT ADDRESS. - tkm

European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research

..."The Anti-Virus or Anti-Malware test file
(read the complete text, it contains important information)

Version of 7 September 2006

If you are active in the anti-virus research field, then you will regularly receive requests for virus samples. Some requests are easy to deal with: they come from fellow-researchers whom you know well, and whom you trust. Using strong encryption, you can send them what they have asked for by almost any medium (including across the Internet) without any real risk.

Other requests come from people you have never heard from before. There are relatively few laws (though some countries do have them) preventing the secure exchange of viruses between consenting individuals, though it is clearly irresponsible for you simply to make viruses available to anyone who asks. Your best response to a request from an unknown person is simply to decline politely.

A third set of requests come from exactly the people you might think would be least likely to want viruses "users of anti-virus software".

They want some way of checking that they have deployed their software correctly, or of deliberately generating a "virus incident in order to test their corporate procedures, or of showing others in the organisation what they would see if they were hit by a virus".

Obviously, there is considerable intellectual justification for testing anti-virus software against real viruses. If you are an anti-virus vendor, then you do this (or should do it!) before every release of your product, in order to ensure that it really works. However, you do not (or should not!) perform your tests in a "real" environment. You use (or should use!) a secure, controlled and independent laboratory environment within which your virus collection is maintained.

Using real viruses for testing in the real world is rather like setting fire to the dustbin in your office to see whether the smoke detector is working. Such a test will give meaningful results, but with unappealing, unacceptable risks.

Since it is unacceptable for you to send out real viruses for test or demonstration purposes, you need a file that can safely be passed around and which is obviously non-viral, but which your anti-virus software will react to as if it were a virus.

If your test file is a program, then it should also produce sensible results if it is executed. Also, because you probably want to avoid shipping a pseudo-viral file along with your anti-virus product, your test file should be short and simple, so that your customers can easily create copies of it for themselves.

The good news is that such a test file already exists. A number of anti-virus researchers have already worked together to produce a file that their (and many other) products "detect" as if it were a virus."...

Google Sites(all) blocked to ALL Turkish internet users, reason, your guess is good as mine...

, , , ...

Dear Readers,
Tonight I was going to do some work on a privet site for my brother(a free service from Google), I logged in and bang, this was the screen I got:




This was not the first time such censorship screens have popped-up, in the past 18 months Telekomünikasyon Iletisim Baskanligi*(picture 2) has taken inspiration from North Korea, China, Iran and most Arab sheikdoms in creating a walled garden "cleaned" in images and WORDS(no dissenting words are tolerated(fully backed and supported - software and hardware - by the USA AND SOME E.U. states).

Yes you will hear double speak from these countries but it is double speak!

The T.I.B. site does not list the sites that are banned and or provide reasons for on-going disputes(YouTube 3 years and counting).



All logical arguments and legal ones will be filtered-out by people that are less educated and uncultured(this group has throughout history have a deep contempt for the competent)and are paid to stay that way.

I think that technology, created by a minority, has and will be mis-used by the majority.

A computer does not change the nature of Man

Of course something the laws do not provide for is compensation:

1. the lose of money
2. time
3. general aggravation

There is no ministry of injustice for Turkish citizens(we are born guilty, of what, we do not know).

I advice Turkish internet users to phone there ISP's and threaten to stop your subscription, this might force Turktelekom aka Oger telecom* to put some pressure on the AKP.

Today they came for me, tomorrow they will come for you.

Afterthought-1
There is a concerted effort to make a mockery of Turkish constitutional law by abusing any and every article(s), by people that have a deep animosity to a secular state these very people are pushing the limits, and in effect saying "look this is un-workable, lets scrap this and start anew".

Who will write a new constitution???
Of course the political party in power?

Creating a "moderate Islam", using a multi-tiered approach, based on religions and ethnicity.

These ideas are not new or workable for a modern state but it is very appealing to a new oligarchy.

Those petro-dollars buys a lot these days....

Erisim engelleme kararlarindan simdi de google nasibini aldi.

Daha önce yapilan bir sikayet neticesinde erisime kapatilan google Groups, youtube, Blogger derken, artik erisimi en az bir kez engellenmeyen sitelerin sahiplerine kiz bile vermemeye baslarlarsa sasirmayin. Iste, bu engellemelerden simdi de google'in alt sayfasi "sites.google.com" nasibini aldi. Siteye giris yapmak isteyenler, karsilarinda yukarida gördügünüz mesaji buluyorlar.

Erisim engelleme kararinin nedeni henüz belli degil.

..."A fortuitous orbit of the International Space Station allowed the astronauts this striking view of Sarychev Volcano (Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan) in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009. Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain, and it is located on the northwestern end of Matua Island."...
