A new infection is making its rounds that makes it so you cannot boot your computer unless you pay a ransom of $100 USD. This malware will modify the Master Boot Record of your computer so that it displays a message stating that your computer's hard drives were encrypted and that unless you pay the ransom you will not be able to access your files.

The reality is that the infected hard drives are not actually encrypted, but just not being made available until you enter a password. When this infection is installed on your computer it will move the infected hard drives Master Boot Record, or MBR, to another location and install a new MBR that displays a message stating that the hard drives were encrypted and that you need to visit www.safe-data.ru in order to receive help. (An MBR is a Master Boot Record which in laymen terms is a file dictates how the Operating System boots) The message that you will see is:

Your PC is blocked.

All the hard drives were encrypted.

Browse www.safe-data.ru to get an access to your system and files.

Any attempt to restore the drives using other way will lead to inevitable data loss !!!

Please remember Your ID: , with its

help your sign-on password will be generated.

Enter password:

When you visit www.safe-data.ru it will state that your hard drives are encrypted and unless you spend $100 USD, you will lose your data. It also states that any attempts at tampering may cause loss of data.

The truth is that this infection can be fixed without spending any money, so for no reason should you purchase the code. Instead, if you are infected with this malware, contact a Daedalus Tek or we will provide removal information in our forum area soon.

Thank you,

Ces Garcia

Antivirus.net, It will protect you from the net! Not!

What this infection does:

Antivirus.net is a fake computer anti-virus program that displays false information so that it can scare you into thinking that there is multiple infections in your computer. When installed antivirus.net will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows. Once started, it will display numerous error messages when you attempt to launch programs or delete files. It will then constantly scan your computer with the program, in turn stating that there are a variety of infections that need to be removed. But the infections cannot be removed until you purchase the program. As this program is a scam do not be scared into purchasing the program when you see its alerts. I have already had a Client that purchased the program and activated, unfortunately his Credit Information has been compromised, not only that but this infection will not remove like others once purchased. If you do purchase this contact your credit companies immediately! The infection also re-configures your internet settings proxy. This will not allow you to connect to any internet service or provider. I will add an article later in order to attempt to show the general public how to fix their proxy settings. So be careful.

Atom-Sized Transistor Foretells Quantum Computer, Scientists Say

By Ian Paul, PCWorld Feb 20, 2012 9:48 AM

Scientists say they have created the first transistor from a single phosphorous atom using near-atomic precision, which could keep development of processors on track with Moore's law until at least 2020 and offers the possibility of a general-purpose quantum computer that processes data significantly faster than current devices.

To create the transistor, scientists at the University of New South Wales, Australia used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to manipulate atoms on the surface of a crystal inside an ultra-high vacuum chamber. The newly created transistor was then covered with a non-reactive layer of hydrogen and encased in silicon.

Tiny atom-sized transistors have been created before, but were often built by chance, according to the researchers. “This is the first time anyone has shown control of a single atom in a substrate with this level of precise accuracy," says Professor Michelle Simmons, a group leader and director of the ARC Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology at the University of New South Wales.

Moore's Law Upheld

Moore's law, first postulated by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, says the number of transistors -- the main component of a microchip -- that can fit on a chip doubles about every 24 months. To keep pace with Moore's law, transistors would have to reach the atomic level by 2020.

Security Shield, Made out of BS!

What this infection does:

Security Shield is a rogue spyware infection that is a variant of Security Tool. This rogue is installed through; other malware, fake online programs claiming that they are anti-malware scanners or prompt that your system is infected. Once installed, on your system Security Shield will be configured to start automatically when Windows starts. Once started, it will perform a scan of your computer and state that there are numerous infections present on your computer. If you attempt, though, to remove any of these so-called infections the program will state that you first need to purchase it. In reality, all of the files it states are infections are legitimate Windows files. Therefore, do not manually delete any of the files it states are infections as you may cause Windows to not operate correctly. The following images will have indicators pointing out how far the creators of this virus went to make it seem real.

In order to protect itself, Security Shield will terminate almost all processes that you start. It does this so that you cannot launch any security programs that may have the ability to remove the infection. The message that you will see when you attempt run a program is similar to the one below:

Security Shield "cmd.exe" is infected with "Worm.Win32.Autorun.bnb". Do you want to register your copy and remove all threats now?

Just like the scan results, this infection warning is fake and should be ignored.

Security Inspector, It will Inspect The System for Viruses. Go Go Virus Failed!

Security Inspector 2010 is a rogue anti-spyware program that is installed via malware without your permission or knowledge. So be careful people because once it is installed it will be configured to start whenever you login to Windows. With your Startup Infected this virus could cause multiple issues with your operating system if not treated immediately. When the Virus starts it will scan your system, prompted that the scan is finished it will state that your computer has numerous amount of virus/malware infections. It will not, though, allow you to remove any of these so-called infections until you first purchase the program. As the detected infections are all fake, you should not purchase the program. Security Inspector 2010 is constantly running and it will also display numerous nag screens and alerts that are designed to make you think your system has a major security issue. These alerts will be shown quite often and will require you to navigate with full attention and all other programs inaccessible through numerous screens before finally closing. Examples of some of the fake security alerts you will encounter while Antivirus Studio is running are:

Warning!

Your computer is being used as spamming machine. You can get sued for spam.

Your computer WILL BE DISCONNECTED FORM INTERNET BECAUSE SPAMMING OTHER PCs
