WHILE WAITING for the Marshall football program to come out of hiding and begin spring practice:
(And believe me, with spring break on the MU campus last week, coaches and players were in hiding. Except for those players tweeting from Miami and similar destinations.)
It seems like yesterday that Ohio State assistant Jeff Boals coached at the University of Charleston for three years, Marshall for four and UC for one more. He is in his third season at Ohio State after successful stints at Robert Morris and Akron.
Kevin Keatts, straying again from his dynastic head coaching tenures at Hargrave Military Academy, is in his first season on Rick Pitino's bench at Louisville. Keatts came to Marshall in 2001 after two seasons at Hargrave, then returned to his Hargrave post in 2003, serving eight more seasons.
Keatts' tally at Hargrave: 262 victories, 17 losses, two national prep titles and 103 Division I signees. Yes, that's 10-plus a year.
And in a testimony of how time flies, ex-Herd coach Ron Jirsa has made it to the NIT semifinals in his fifth season under Tubby Smith at Minnesota. The Golden Gophers won three road games to get to Madison Square Garden, including a win last week at Middle Tennessee.
That job became even more impossible when Hurricane Katrina hit on the eve of his first season in New Orleans, and he went 68-84 in five seasons. Not sure Ed Conroy, used to difficult tasks as player and coach at The Citadel, can do much better.
I know, I know. Williams is a Texan and SMU is ready to toss him the megabucks - as the school will do in all sports until its next visit by the NCAA Committee on Infractions. The school has spared no expense in upgrading basketball facilities, even aging Moody Coliseum.
But really? Does Williams want to leave Marquette, which is reportedly paying him $2 million a year anyway, to take over a basketball program facing a DePaul-like welcome in the Big East, which will include double-digit losses to ... Marquette?
(A little Marshall connection here: SMU is chucking up some dough to the search firm of David Braine, Marshall's athletic director way back in the Flock of Seagulls era. Sorry for dredging up that MTV memory.)
Morris rejoined the Jacksonville Sharks over the weekend, serving as the backup behind Omar Jacobs, the Bowling Green quarterback who rang up 56 points on the Herd in 2004. Morris was a Sharks backup in 2010, plus he started three games at "Jack" linebacker.
(Only true Arena nerds can explain that term. I'll plead ignorance.)
Morris was signed after Chris Leak, that ex-Florida Gator, was suspended. It appears Leak didn't take well to a benching and skipped practice. Just guessing, but I doubt Tim Tebow would have tried that.

Bluff Creek Ranch//The Warda Race

James Whitaker was promoted to district manager of Heron Pest Control.
APOPKA, Fla. — James Whitaker was promoted to district manager of Heron Pest Control.
Whitaker began his career in the industry more than 24 years ago and has held many leadership roles such as sales manager, VP of operations, state certified operator in charge of lawn, GHP and termite, and then owning his own company, which he sold in 2009.
Whitaker joined the Heron Pest Control team in September of 2009 as a branch manager at its headquarters in Apopka, Fla., and was recognized as Heron Employee of the Year in 2011.
In 2013, the company's revenue rose 3.2 percent, driven largely by Rentokil's North American pest control business.
Holder's Pest Solutions, a Houston, Texas-based pest management service provider owned by Copesan Services, announced March 3 the sale of its San Antonio/Austin/Corpus Christi/Rio Grande Valley region to ABC Home and Commercial Services, Austin, Texas.

National ID card a disaster in the making
May 3, 2007
Thanks to the Internet we have lightning-fast communications, credit, and commerce. Unfortunately, we also have data breaches, identity theft, and obscene amounts of junk mail and spam.
Consumers are bombarded, victimized, and annoyed. They express great concerns about their privacy and security, yet little is made available to them to protect it. And they only have restricted access to their own identity information held by data brokers, being forced to pay to see it, if in fact the businesses that hold it are even willing to sell it to them.
Tinkering with the current systems won't fix it. Instead, identity needs to be re-engineered around the demands of its logical owner--consumers--providing them more control, transparency, privacy, and security.
Our personal information--name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, credit worthiness, buying preferences and patterns, etc.--forms our financial identity, government identity, medical identity, and what I like to call our "marketing identity." As a result of history and technology--as opposed to good design--identity has been functionally divided into these different silos.
Each silo has its own set of data repositories, its own regulatory and legal regimes, its own data brokers and list providers selling personal data, and its own advocates representing consumers. These silos generally don't follow the same rules, share standards, or communicate with one another.
My financial identity is actually in pretty good shape. Financial identity is a central focus for most consumers because they interact regularly with their financial identity. They trust their financial institutions, and they have a much better view into their personal financial identity information than they do in any other silo.
What with all the noise about identity theft and the focus on finance--and specifically credit cards--it may be surprising that, in fact, financial identity works pretty well for consumers, which is no coincidence. I would argue that the financial services industry provides the U.S. consumer with the strongest, most secure and well-managed identity they have--both online and offline. We should carry this industry's powerful ideas of value, portability, responsibility, and trust forward as we begin to re-engineer identity.
Where consumers' financial identity breaks down is with the data broker middlemen. Within the financial identity silo are the three credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. The credit reports they traffic in are critical to consumers, determining availability of credit, employment, and access. Yet credit reports are well known to be full of errors. What's more, they are a popular tool for identity thieves.
My government identity, however, is pretty broken. The core identity provider in the United States, the federal government, regularly loses, misplaces, and publishes the consumer data it collects. When our government wants to get data on consumers, it buys it from data brokers like ChoicePoint and LexisNexis--somewhat odd because those companies primarily sell public records, which generally originate with the government itself. Notwithstanding the demonstrated lack of security on the part of these companies, government identity--including drivers' licenses and passports--remains our core and most usable of identity "tokens."
My marketing identity is today the most broken, controlled by dozens of list and data brokers who make billions of dollars a year selling my personal information to thousands of organizations. They give me no rights to see or affect what they sell, they don't allow me to tell them what I want and what I don't want, and they make it intentionally complex for me to get off their lists. The result is almost 4 million tons of junk mail sent to Americans each year.
The data broker breaches in 2005 were the watershed event that first shined light on this incredibly secretive industry. Since then, more than 165 million data records of U.S. residents have been exposed due to security breaches. Consumers are vulnerable not only because of what arrives in their mailbox, but because of the thousands of data records holding their sensitive personal information.
Consumers are starting to wise up, demanding meaningful choice over how and by whom their identity is used. Fixing identity is going to require the efforts of industry, government, and technology leaders, but it requires the consumer to ignite change. It's their identity. They know who they are. They know what they want and what they don't want.
Heck, just ask yourself.

- Umm... what has done more damage is the continued use of the SSN as an identity token. It was a paper-based token and in the transition, the exposures were/are huge. Sign up for a cellphone in a local mall, then take into account that you are handing that information over to someone who probably makes less money than the people who pick up your trash. Now ask yourself what a month's worth of xeroxed applications are worth.
Humans-in-the-loop are and always will be the wickedest problem of identity security. Identity is not an entity; it is a process. - Like Reply Link Flag
- SS numbers are the worst problem, but...
- ...any time you have to hand information over to a human being is problematic. My wife and I just had $800 charged to our debit card with several merchants in Brazil. We live in Massachusetts, and the card was safely in her wallet the whole time.
As best we can tell, it was likely a human being who copied down her number somehow while she was doing a point-of-sale transaction.
Fortunately, the bank was pro-active and had canceled the card before we even called to complain, and we got our money back in less than a week, but it sure doesn't inspire confidence that it can happen at all. I'm just thankful that the banks are getting better than they used to be about staying on top of it. - Like Link Flag

- ...does not have a lock on the smarts required to safeguard their customers? privacy. Banks and brokerage firms are subject to criminal sanctions if there are breaches in any of their systems. This problem will disappear when the same strict regulation and severe penalties are mandated across the board for any organization, public or private, that holds sensitive consumer information.

- Lack of following Standards Compliance is the problem
- ANSI, FIPS, ISO, SOX as well as a few other Standards make up the majority of "What should be done".
Many in the financial sector follow ANSI standards, but NOT ALL.
Some governments strictly adhere to FIPS, but NOT ALL.
ISO is the international standards organization which most should follow, but NOT ALL.
SOX: Sarbanes OXley is another one which should be followed, but NOT BY ALL!
The key point is that ALL are excluded from the most important aspects of security. All of the above quoted standards were created to protect sensitive data.
And how much more sensitive can one get than when discussing identity theft of others?
These standards were created for a purpose. Many are required to follow these standards, but in reality, very few put them to actual use.
Not a lack of standards, but a lack of standards compliance!!!
Follow that up with a lack of ensuring standards compliance and you have the double-whammy position which our society is in today.
The hundreds of millions of stolen identities are more than enough proof that the already set into place standards ARE NOT being followed to the T.
That said... who's going to hold whom responsible for the non-compliance?
Until the checks and balances of the security society are set into place, continue to see more of the same.

- The quickest, easiest way for ID thieves to steal your ID is to fill out a card changing your address and drop it in the mail box. The post office will notify you within a few weeks, but by the time they do, the theives have picked up enough of your first class mail to easily steal all your identities - financial, government, etc. Anyone can change your address any time, with no proof of identity.

Thanks! I find this stuff interesting.
Do you see any unsigned draftees who might be sent here if/when they sign? Or are they all destined for GCL?
Hudson Boyd is a pleasant surprise (at least to me). I though Polanco would stick around the GCL at least to start the year.
Any word on Kelly Cross or Cole Johnson? Those are two names I didn't expect to see on the GCL roster.
I would guess Luke Bard, when healthy, would probably end up here, but rehabbing/coming of injury at the Fort would make sense too.
Bard would certainly go to ET of these two, although I would guess he'll go to Beloit, if not Ft. Myers. (although you're right, may just keep him in ft. Myers until he's deemed 100% No need to push him for this half season.)
Cross... you'll see his name tomorrow.
Johnson... not exactly certain what his status is. Not released, but not yet assigned to a team. He's in Ft. Myers.
There should be a few spots open in Beloit in the second half after promotions, guys I suspect that will be promoted are:
Michael Tonkin
Matt Koch
Clint Dempster
A.J. Achter
Steven Gruver
and I have a feeling after Rosario recovers from his injury, they will leave him in Ft.Myers like they did with Arcia last year.
That may be the case for some of them but there is no way to know that or to really anticipate that.
+1, It is amazing Seth that before some of these guys have played their first inning of professional ball some of us already have them destined to repeat next year at ETon. Personally, I am pumped that both of these young men, Boyd and Harrison, will begin their careers at ETon. That tells me the Twins are very high on them.
Lol, all you have to do is look at trends, and the Boyd and Harrison info I herd from 2 of the top guys in charge of the twins organization .+1, It is amazing Seth that before some of these guys have played their first inning of professional ball some of us already have them destined to repeat next year at ETon.

Sorry to say Seth, this is the reason I dreaded you giving up your own site. At least you had the creditability of having some class. In the future, I will no longer be commenting on your site.... Have a good day my friend!
So is the GCL slightly better than Elizabethan? They both appear to be the same level at rk. Or is it that Elizabethan begins earlier than the GCL? What's the difference? I really don't know too much about rookie ball!?
No, absolutely not same level of rookie ball
Gulf Coast is for 17-19 year olds....E Town is for 19-21 year olds. IMO
but Appy Lg. is much much tougher competition despite easy hitting environments.
GCL is the lowest... It is where mostly high school picks from the current year and guys who come up from the Dominican Summer League.
Elizabethton is an Advanced Rookie League. The Twins send a lot of their college draft picks and guys who have already spent a year or two in the GCL.
GCL starts Monday. Elizabethton starts Tuesday.
don't let the internet get you down!
Hope you keep posting
No site is perfect, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. What remains constant is Seth's informative posts. The rest can either be enjoyed or ignored, as you please.
Is it best for the Twins and Hicks to have Hicks start in the minors?

Gasol out with torn plantar fascia
LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol will not play against the Boston Celtics on Thursday after injuring his right foot in a game at Brooklyn on Tuesday, the NBA club announced.
An MRI showed on Wednesday that Gasol suffered a tear of the plantar fascia -- the tissue under the arch of the foot -- in a 92-83 Lakers win in New York.
The result of the MRI shows I have a torn fascia of my right foot. Tomorrow I'll fly back to LA to see our team doctors. #AlwaysPositive
— Pau Gasol (@paugasol) February 6, 2013
Gasol wrote about the injury on his Twitter site saying, "I am hoping to recover asap so I can be back with the team and keep fighting until the end of the season. #GoLakers #AlwaysPositive"
I'm hoping to recover asap so I can be back with the team and keep fighting until the end of the season. #GoLakers #AlwaysPositive
— Pau Gasol (@paugasol) February 6, 2013
The Lakers' next game is Thursday against Boston but instead of facing the Celtics, Gasol was to fly to Los Angeles Thursday where he will be examined further by team doctors and a foot specialist.
Gasol hurt his right foot with 4:21 to play against the Nets. He was defending Brook Lopez when he came down on the Nets' player's foot.
Gasol fell to the court holding his foot, but stayed in the game for a short time before leaving for the locker room.
Gasol said he heard a "pop" in his foot and had to leave the stadium on crutches.
Lakers spokesman John Black said the team didn't know how long Gasol would be out of the lineup but they expected to have a better idea once he had further tests.
The injury is another blow to the Lakers who were already without centre Dwight Howard, who missed the Nets game as he continues to recover from a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Swiss watch Rolex has come top of an annual list of consumer superbrands, beating competition from the likes of Coca-Cola, Google and Wedgewood.
It's a brand of watch that screams: I've made it.
Now supercool – and very pricey – Rolex has come top of the annual list of consumer superbrands for the first time. The Swiss-made watch beat Coca-Cola and Google to top the poll.
'A superbrand is one which constantly delivers excellence and quality, and this year's consumer poll reflects this,' said Stephen Cheliotis, chairman of the Superbrands Expert Council.
'Both the British and international brands included in the list are recognised both for their rich heritage and also their continued influence on today's consumers.'
British brands make up half of the top 20, with the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Doulton and Wedgwood rising in the list, in a national survey of 2,000 adults.
Mercedes-Benz is in fourth place with the BBC at number five – the sixth year it has been in the top five.
For the second year in a row, the Rolls-Royce group was named the top business superbrand. It is one of 11 British firms in the top 20 list, with others including British Airways, the London Stock Exchange and GlaxoSmithKline.

Down to a Soundless Sea : Here is an unprecedented fiction debut that is cause for celebration. Growing up in a family that valued the art of storytelling and the power of oral history, Thomas Steinbeck now follows in his father's footsteps with a brilliant story collection. Down to a Soundless Sea resonates with the rich history and culture of California, recalling vivid details of life in Monterey County from the turn of the century through the 1930s. Steinbeck accomplishes an amazing feat: his stories have the feel of classic literature, but his haunting voice, forceful narrative drive, and dazzling imagery are unmistakably his own.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hi, my name is Michelle. I have a degree in Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages. I'm seeking an ESL tutoring position in Chicago where I can utilize my skills and experience to implement a positive learning environment for speakers of other languages in Chicago and to empower them economically and socially through the medium of English learning. I have experience overseas and in the city of Chicago. I believe language learning needs to be meaningful; meeting the needs of the student(s). I believe everyone can learn a language and it is most effectively learned in community. However, that is not always available to the student and so a tutor can provide the one on one attention to target goals of individual students for a time. I take communication as priority before pronunciation, but love to teach pronunciation. I believe teaching cultural values and customs will help in knowing the appropriate responses, both lexically and orally, and I believe it is critical to one's confidence and development of the target language. I believe Language is primarily deductive in which a student discovers or applies knowledge. I believe intrinsic motivation from the student is essential for success. I belief language learning is primarily social; I strive for the ability to communicate rather than purely an academic pursuit. I believe my role as a teacher is to guide, facilitate, evaluate, negotiate, and monitor learning as well as be a resource for the students to tap into if need be. I prepare the student(s) for success by giving the right language structures, strategies, and vocabulary, but also provide an atmosphere that appropriately provides challenges for learners to take risks with the language he/she has acquired. I'm very passionate about teaching and consider every teaching opportunity as a chance to learn. I learn together with the student(s) and strive to make learning most meaningful to their life situation. Consider me as your partner in learning.
Email Michelle
I'm a native speaker. I know the grammatical structures and rules that many native speakers do not know how to explain.
I have a four year degree in ESL teaching. I've taught many speakers of other Languages.
I've taught English in a foreign context.
I have taught children and adults the Bible. I also attended 6 years of Bible college where I received training in Biblical and Theological Studies.

When it rains, it pours.
According to Jennifer Langosch, the Cardinals pitching staff took another hit tonight when John Gast had to leave the game, after facing just 6 hitters, due to shoulder tightness.
As if that wasn't enough, Jennifer Langosch also reported that Jake Westbrook will likely get a second opinion on his ailing shoulder next week, most likely with Dr. James Andrews. That's never a good sign.
Finally, to top it off, Jennifer reported that the Cardinals are "backing off" Chris Carpenter's throwing program as he didn't feel as good after his last bullpen session.
With Gast likely heading to the DL, Westbrook likely needing longer to rehab his elbow and Carpenter likely needing more time for his comeback, it appears that the Cardinals may have no other choice than to turn to Michael Wacha.
If Gast's injury is short term in nature, the Cards may be able to make due with someone like Joe Kelly or Seth Maness filling in for a start or ...

I'd have been shocked if it was otherwise with him. Rare to see anyone hustle around the bases as hard as Marlon.
Also loved that he actually ran around the bases rather then trot. Maybe that's just me being a fan of good discipline.
He did that all of last season, too.

Yeah, he looked nasty down there. So much late drop.I like how Rhee is pounding the bottom of the strike zone. If he keeps that up, he's going to have a nice career.

"Moist and juicy comfort food. Great for family dinners, but tasty enough for company. Great with colcannon or other mashed potato dishes. Pairs well with carmenere or chianti. Caution: This is NOT a low-fat dish. Enjoy in moderation. You can use ground turkey instead of the beef without losing much flavor, if you must. Try venison or veal in place of the lamb for a change."

Original recipe yields 2 loaves
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Thoroughly mix beef, pork, lamb, mushrooms, bread crumbs, eggs, garlic, thyme, soy sauce, soup base, parsley, and sage in a large bowl; shape into 2 loaves. Wrap bacon strips around the loaves to cover completely. Place loaves on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are no longer pink in the center, 90 minutes to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Rate This RecipeI am giving a high-five for spices and originality here. I do not eat ketchup, bbq sauce or tomato paste/sauce, and this recipe uses a great combo of spices instead of that same old tomato-based flavor. I also appreciate no onion! I made only a few small changes: I did not wrap with bacon, and instead of ground pork, I used Hot Pork Sausage in the mix. I used a large loaf pan, and at 350 it only needed about an hour. In the middle of the loaf I placed a string cheese just for fun. There was not as much grease as you would expect, I did not have to pour any off during cooking at all. The loaf did NOT crumble at all, and thick slices made great sandwiches for days! Thanks for the great recipe, it was perfect for our family.

Yummy. I did not wrap the loaf with bacon I covered the top instead.I topped with swiss cheese and more mushrooms. Will do this again.

Bt Cotton and Farmer Suicides in India: An Evidence-based Assessment
Bt cotton is accused of being responsible for an increase of farmer suicides in India. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of evidence on Bt cotton and farmer suicides. Available data show no evidence of a 'resurgence' of farmer suicides. Moreover, Bt cotton technology has been very effective overall in India. Nevertheless, in specific districts and years, Bt cotton may have indirectly contributed to farmer indebtedness, leading to suicides, but its failure was mainly the result of the context or environment in which it was planted.Download Info

Bank of America Corporation's (BAC - Analyst Report) legal woes are far from over considering the onslaught of lawsuits related to the risky mortgage securities. Last week, CIFG Assurance North America Inc, a bond issuer, sued BofA for fraudulent representations and breach of contract over insurance policies tied to residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS), according to a Bloomberg Report.
The lawsuit is based on CIFG's five financial guaranty insurance policies that pertain to the two-structure transactions that were arranged by BofA. These were backed by twenty-two risky RMBS.
CIFG alleged that BofA was well aware of the perils associated with the RMBS offerings. BofA had failed to sell these securities as an underwriter, and therefore was left with too many of these risky securities in its books.
In order to get rid of these securities, BofA issued misleading statements that concealed the associated risks and convinced CIFG to provide insurance worth over $150 million to make them marketable to investors. As a result of these fraudulent representations by BofA, CIFG will have to shell out nearly $170 million in damages. CIFG has filed lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
Apart from BofA, CIFG has pressed similar charges against couple of other financial institutions in the last three years. These include last month's $$277 million lawsuit against GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Inc. and last year's $275 million legal charge against The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS - Analyst Report).
In addition to this, BofA faces several other charges related to the sale of defective mortgage securities. Earlier this month, investors including Phoenix Light SF Ltd prosecuted BofA along with its unit, Countrywide Financial, over the sale of $261 million worth of flawed residential mortgage-backed securities using misleading statements.
This led to huge losses and now investors are seeking compensation of nearly $122.2 million from BofA and Countrywide. This case is also filed in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
Earlier in September, Phoenix Light had dragged BofA, along with JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM - Analyst Report), Goldman Sachs as well as Ace Securities – a wing of Deutsche Bank AG (DB - Analyst Report) – to court for losses suffered over faulty mortgage-backed securities. JPMorgan and Goldman are encountering a $1.8 billion lawsuit, whereas Ace Securities is facing a $300 million charge. BofA has been sued for losses amounting $36.6 million over $69.8 million worth of MBS.
BofA continues to face lawsuits related to the sale of faulty RMBS. This has resulted in huge litigation costs for the company, which will have a profound impact on its financials. However, on the positive side, the ill-effects of these are likely to be eliminated by the gradually strengthening fundamentals of the company.
BofA currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating. We believe that on account of such litigation overhangs, there is little possibility of any upward estimate revisions; hence, the stock is expected to hold its current rank. We also maintain a long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 is a malware that uses advanced techniques to infect a target computer. It requires systematic removal procedure to get rid of this Trojan.
Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 are harmful files identified to be compromised by Trojan.Zeroaccess. Files with this infection are deemed malicious. It also endangers the privacy of computer users. Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 is part of a modular Trojan that carry out various payloads once run on the computer. In most cases, this Trojan is used to spread a copy of another malware without being detected by antivirus program.
Once Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 is run, it will instantly hook a code into valid system processes. This is called rootkit technique. Trojans can conceal its presence of the compromised computer by showing only legitimate process running on the system. Thus, malicious codes are kept under your antivirus radar. Then, Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 also drops a number of files and insert certain registry entries to make sure that it will load each time you start Windows.
Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 typically spread by means of another Trojan infection. It can also access the computer directly by taking advantage of weakness in Internet browser and security. Gaining an access through this hole gives Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 complete power to control the computer.
For this generic detection, infected computers may not provide common signs except for constant pop-up alerts shown by antivirus program. See the sample screenshot image below on the detection process carried out by known antivirus software.
How to Remove Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5
Step 1 : Restart Windows in SafeMode with Networking
Starting Windows is Safe Mode only loads minimal sets of files and drivers. Most start-up malware and viruses don't run in this mode because Windows only loads basic components to initiate the system.
NOTE: You will need to PRINT or BOOKMARK this procedure, as we have to restart the computer during the removal process.
1. Remove and detach all disc, removable drives, and USB drives. Turn Off the computer.
2. From the OFF state, please Turn On and immediately press F8 on your keyboard repeatedly until you see Advanced Boot Options screen. You need to execute this before the Windows logo appears.
3. On Advanced Boot Options screen, select Safe Mode with Networking. Use your keyboard's arrow keys to navigate between selections. Press Enter to start Windows on the selected mode.
Step 2 : Scan the Computer with TDSSKiller to Remove Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5
Anti-rootkit utility called TDSSKiller is a free tool from Kasperksy that neutralizes complicated malware which effectively hides its process, folders, files and registry entries.
1. Download TDSSKiller and save the file on your desktop or any accessible spot.
2. Extract the contents of downloaded file (tdsskiller.zip) using archiver programs like Winzip or Winrar.
3. Locate the folder where you extracted tdsskiller.zip and double-click the file TDSSKiller.exe to launch the scanner.
4. Once TDSSKiller is open, please mark Services and drivers as well as Boot Sectors. Picking these options ensures that the program will inspect boot sector and system files that are infected with Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5. Please refer to attached image.
5. Click on Start Scan button to begin scanning your system. This may take a while. You need to complete this process to make sure that the program detects and delete all components of Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5.
6. When scan has finished, you may restart Windows normally. This part of the removal process using TDSSKiller is now complete.
Step 3: Run Another Scan with ZeroAccess Fix Tool
This additional step will guarantee that no more components of Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 are present inside the computer. If in case the first scan fails to catch all threats, running ZeroAccess Fix Tool ensures that all remaining Trojans, viruses, and malware will be deleted.
1. Download the file FixZeroAccess.exe from the provided link. Save the file to accessible location like Windows desktop. This is a free tool created by Symantec to remove variants of Zeroaccess Trojan.
2. Close all open programs.
3. Temporarily Disable System Restore if your computer is running on Windows XP). [how to]
4. Browse for the location of the file FixZeroAccess.exe. Double-click on the file to run it. If it prompts for a security warning and ask if you want to run the file, please choose Run.
5. It will open a Zero Access Fix Tool End User License Agreement (EULA). You must accept this license agreement in order to proceed with Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 removal. Please click I Accept.
6. Finally, it displays a message and prepares the computer to restart. Please click on Proceed.
7. When it shows a message about 'Restarting System' please click on OK button.
8. After restarting the computer, the tool will display information about identified threats. Continue running the tool by following the prompts.
9. When it reaches the final step, the tool will show the scan result containing deleted components of Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5. Your computer is now free from any harm.
Ways to Prevent Trojan.Zeroaccess!inf5 Infection
Here are some guidelines to help defend your computer from virus attack and malware activities. Being fully protected does not have to be expensive.
