Win32/Mydoom.R

Win32/Mydoom.R is an e-mail worm for Microsoft Windows systems. Its file is approximately 28 kilobytes long, compressed by UPX. After decompression, its size is about 40kB.

Upon execution the form copies itself in the %windir% using the name java.exe. It also saves a file called services.exe there. This file is a backdoor component, that operates on TCP port 1034.

The following Registry entries are set to point to worm executables:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACCHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\JavaVM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACCHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Services

The first entry contains path to java.exe, and the other points to services.exe.

According to the information on all the website in order to fix this you must use some anti-virus software.

5 things Microsoft Vista doesn’t want you to Know!!

I’m starting off on this little epic because I’ve been using Vista for the past year and half. I have had so much fun finding these little programs for Vista. They’ve helped with making Vista a much more enjoyable platform. These programs I’ve had to search the internet for all these tips and programs.

Never Stop using MSCONFIG.EXE — This little program lets you do so many things in Vista it’s not funny. You can Enable or Disable UAC, pick the services you want to startup, or pick the startup programs. You can also use the performance monitor, or change the internet options in the Tools tab. You can speed up or slow down your start up time in vista with this little program.
Shut down Auto-Defragmentation — Windows uses way to much resources with it constantly defragmenting the hard drive. This therefore slows down the startup and shut down time with Vista. This little process will greatly increase your speed. Just remember from time to time to do a manual defragmentation on your hard drive. Click Start>Click Drive>Click tools TAB>Un-Check Run on a Schedule.

This post is in response to Alertscan.net and how many people have seen my page. If you would like to protect yourself from the possible hi-jacking of your internet or Computer there are some programs to consider using:

If you would like to scan your system right now without downloading any files go to:
Kaspersky Lab Free Virus Scan

Firewalls:

Now these are free but I tell you. You will only need one firewall even though windows has a firewall this helps as a better protection to know what is coming in and going out.

Anti-Virus:

Again these files are free but you will only need one of these. If you install more than one you will most like start slowing your system down to much!!

Spyware Removal:
