Free Anti-Rootkit detection and removal.

Called Sophos Anti-Rootkit, the software will detect and remove both known and unknown rootkits, and it will warn systems administrators if removing the software might harm operating system integrity.

Rootkits are a collection of tools used by hackers to gain administrative privileges on compromised machines. They are typically used to help hide other forms of malware — keyloggers or Trojan horse programs, for example — from antivirus software.

Sophos Anti-Rootkit works with the Windows NT, 2000, XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. The software features a graphical interface to help guide users through the process of detecting and removing the malicious software.

Sophos Anti-Rootkit can be downloaded from the company’s Web site.

Iced tea re-blogged.

Iced Tea re-blogged.

Ingredients:
4 regular tea bags
2 cups fresh cold water
water
ice cubes
sugar
lemon slices (optional)

Unwrap if necessary and carefully slide off any paper attached to the strings of the tea bags; tie the strings together abd

place the bags in a heat proof 2 quart pitcher.

Bring 2 cups of cold water (always start with fresh cold water) to a rapiboil. Remove from heat and immediately pour over

the tea bags. Allow tea to steep for 20 minutes or more. (This process simply forms the “concentrate”. You can store the

mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours)

Remove tea bags, squeeze out the excess liquid (being careful to not break open the bags and iscard. Fill the pitcher with

enough water to equal 2 quarts. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled before serving. Or to serve iced tea immediately,

add a dozen or so ice cubes to tea concentrate then fill with water to the 2 quart level.

To serve, pour tea over a generous amount of ice cubes in a tall glass, stirring in desired sweetening and a squeeze of

lemon, as desired.

There is really no other benefit. See related story.
I suppose the idea was thought to be a form of mild entertainment and I suppose that someone thought that giving a random number rather than a user’s name was protection enough to keep anyone from finding out who the users were.”
