NFL Mock Draft: College football stars begin quest to raise stock
NFL Mock Draft: College football stars begin quest to raise stock
The college football season is finally here. For most that means investing in a new TV, cancelling usual Saturday plans and doing homework on why your favorite program could reach the inaugural College Football Playoff.
For the NFL, it means the scouting season has officially kicked off, with the focus being on which players are standing out, where they need to improve, and what their 2014 college play could mean for their pro potential.
Based on players' 2013 performances and projections as to how they should perform in 2014, here's our first mock draft for 2015.
Draft order is based on SportsBook.ag's rankings of projected 2014 finishes based on their over/under win odds.

of 32
Raiders: Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
I don't see the Raiders finishing 2014 with the worst record in the league, but Vegas sure does. They could use help across their defense, but getting a top-tier offensive tackle to push Donald Penn inside for the future can give this team a tremendous strength on the offensive line to build around Derek Carr.
of 32
Jaguars: Cedric Ogbuehi, OT, Texas A&M
Just two years removed from drafting a Texas A&M tackle, the Jags may go back to the well in hopes to strike gold twice. Jacksonville could use help at right tackle for the future, and Ogbuehi could compete with Luke Joeckel early on.
of 32
Vikings: Leonard Williams, DT, USC
The third straight team that would consider quarterback had they not drafted one in 2014, the Vikings should look to bolster their impressive defensive line. Williams could battle for the top overall pick throughout the season, and with coach Mike Zimmer's forte being maximization of his front-seven's ability, Williams could keep this unit a strength.
of 32
Browns: Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Despite knowing Josh Gordon was going to be suspended for a long time, the Browns opted to pass on a receiver in the 2014 draft. With two Top-5 picks (projected) in 2015, they'll certainly target one. Cooper is currently the top draft-eligible receiver.
of 32
Browns (via Bills): Shilique Calhoun, DE, Michigan State
With their second of two projected Top-10 picks in a row, the Browns should look to progress defensively in 2015. It's tough to peg exactly what they'll need, but adding a powerful pass-rusher like Calhoun who could potentially play in multiple spots seems like a safe bet based on his 2013 play.
of 32
Buccaneers: Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA
Time to replace Mike Glennon already? It could be, especially if he can't beat out Josh McCown and the Bucs finish in the bottom 10 of the league. If that's the case, they'll target the top quarterback in college football. Hundley has strong arm, running ability and flashes of tremendous upside. He's one of two first-round caliber QBs in this class.
of 32
Titans: Randy Gregory, DE/OLB, Nebraska
Despite playing on an inconsistent Nebraska team, Gregory stood out last year, particularly in his performance against now-pro Taylor Lewan. He still has work to do, but Gregory's edge rushing capabilities are enough to already be considered for a Top-10 pick. Put him on a defense with Ray Horton running the show, and he could quickly emerge as a force at outside linebacker.
of 32
Jets: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon
In today's NFL, cornerbacks 5-10 or shorter don't find themselves in the Top-10 discussion. But a mix of team need, a lackluster draft class and tremendous talent could lead Ekpre-Olomu into the early part of Round 1. He'll have a tough task in 2014 against a loaded Pac-12 full of capable passing offenses.
of 32
Cowboys: Carl Davis, DT, Iowa
The Cowboys had long delayed addressing their offensive line issues before adding guard Zach Martin in 2014. However, their defensive line remains a gaping need. Davis has a strong upper body but is a smooth mover who can navigate the interior against one or even two blockers.
of 32
Dolphins: Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State
With Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline entering make-or-break years and the rest of the receivers (outside of recent draft pick Jarvis Landry) not emerging, the Dolphins are in need of a receiver. Strong will remind many of Mike Evans.
of 32
Panthers: La'el Collins, OT, LSU
The Panthers had several glaring needs going into 2014's draft and only could address a few in early rounds. One they passed on was offensive line, where free agency and retirement left Carolina grasping for straws going into this year. Collins is the best lineman available at this point.
of 32
Redskins: Shawn Oakman, DE, Baylor
Oakman isn't worth a top-20 pick based on his play in 2013, but combining how weak this class is and his remarkable upside, we could see him rise similar to Ezekiel Ansah in 2013. He's a long athletic freak with All-Pro potential if he can develop technically and football IQ-wise this year.
of 32
Rams: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
The Rams have stocked up on defensive talent, but now it's time to address the offense. I'm not Mariota's biggest supporter, but his athleticism, confidence and placement in the 15-20 yard range makes him a standout in this class.
of 32
Cardinals: Vic Beasley, DE, Clemson
Arizona focused on offense after their first-round pick in the 2014 draft, grabbing a quarterback to build around (Logan Thomas) and two offensive pieces that should become key parts of the offense (John Brown and Troy Niklas). They need to further their front-seven and keep it youthful, and the speed-rush capabilities of Beasley can certainly provide that.
of 32
Texans: Devin Funchess, TE, Michigan
Bill O'Brien's offense will be fun to watch. I'd expect him to pass on a quarterback again this draft and instead opt for different offensive firepower. Funchess is a high-upside, physical tight end who can control the middle of the field as well as do receiver-like things on the interior.
of 32
Giants: Todd Gurley, RB. Georgia
Taking a running back early in the draft has become taboo, but with Gurley's potential to be an Adrian Peterson-level talent and the Giants' need for support at RB (I'm not a strong advocate of Rashad Jennings), it could be a perfect match. Gurley has an ideal NFL build (6-1, 220+), and outside of an ankle injury in 2013 that kept him out of three games, he's been healthy.
of 32
Chiefs: Landon Collins, S, Alabama
The Chiefs are lacking at safety, both in starter talent and depth after Eric Berry. Finding one in the 2015 class appears to be essential. While Collins' style can be a bit repetitive with Berry in the mix, they need to draft talent first and figure out the dynamics later.
of 32
Falcons: Mario Edwards, DE, Florida State
The Falcons' current defensive ends (Kroy Biermann and Osi Umenyiora) are not long-term answers, and they chose to neglect that the position in last year's draft. Finding a high-upside pass rusher will be a must, and Edwards flashed his potential late last year with the Seminoles.
of 32
Steelers: Cameron Erving, OT, Florida State
Even after Marcus Gilbert's contract extension (which isn't as lucrative long-term as many seem to think), the Steelers need to continue to bolster their offensive line. I'm not a huge Erving fan, as he's a bit stiff in the hips and doesn't wow enough athletically. But he can slide into an NFL offensive line as a tackle thanks to his length and strong hands when positioned correctly.
of 32
Lions: Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
Another receiver for the Lions? It seems ridiculous, but the team really lacks depth after Golden Tate. Adding another dynamic receiver to pair with Eric Ebron on the interior could give this passing game a similar set of pass-catchers to their division rival Packers, whose offense the Lions should continue to copy if they hope to win the division.
of 32
Ravens: Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
As of now, the Ravens are projected to be starting Ricky Wagner at right tackle who, based on college film, doesn't have the required skill set to be a capable long-term answer. Finding a right tackle who can run Gary Kubiak's zone blocking scheme and finish as an edge protector should be a top priority.
of 32
Bears: Jordan Jenkins, OLB, Georgia
The Bears needed defensive help in last year's draft and addressed the defensive line and secondary. They ignored the linebacker group and, while they have capable starters for now (though I'm no Shea McClellin fan), they need to find better answers for the future. Jenkins has tremendous flashes, and with talent around him, he should have plenty of opportunity to shine again in 2014.
of 32
Chargers: Stefon Diggs, WR, Maryland
I'm a staunch supporter of the Chargers this year lead by Phillip Rivers, who I think can emerge as a legitimate MVP candidate. However, I can't pick out who will be the number two receiving option in the offense, and they'll need a more stable unit for the future. Diggs, despite being stuck on a lackluster Maryland team and dealing with a season-ending injury last year, has shown enough upside to potentially explode onto the national scene in 2014.
of 32
Bengals: Kurtis Drummond, S, Michigan State
The Bengals must continue to bolster their secondary even after drafting Darqueze Dennard. The cornerback position seems fine starter-wise for now, but the safety group is limited. Drummond was a key centerfielder and versatile positional player for the Spartans' impressive 2013 defense.
of 32
Eagles: Dante Fowler, DE/OLB, Florida
The Eagles drafted Marcus Smith in the first round last year, a pick I thought was right in line and a smart selection. However, the outside linebacker need doesn't fade away quite yet, especially since the Eagles would like to continue to put a premium on it. Fowler had a very impressive sophomore campaign to put him on the first-round map, and another big season could keep him there. The Eagles may need replacements for Trent Cole and Brandon Graham by next season.
of 32
Colts: Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
Finding an offensive lineman here would be ideal for the Colts, but the draft is short on tackles at this point in round one. Just a year removed from trading a first-round pick for Trent Richardson, they may still be in the running back market by next May. Gordon looks like a more talented version of Montee Ball, and giving Andrew Luck as much stability around him as possible should be the Colts' primary focus.
of 32
49ers: Nelson Agholor, WR, USC
The 49ers have found some stop-gaps and situational receivers in recent years but don't have a steady No. 2 option after Michael Crabtree, who's coming off injury this year. Agholor can provide a complementary option to Crabtree and can find success in the short-yardage area for Colin Kaepernick.
of 32
Packers: Alvin Dupree, DE, Kentucky
The Packers have some talent and capable starters on their defensive line, but none have the potential to control the line of scrimmage the way top five-techniques do. The high upside of Dupree could intrigue a team like Green Bay that doesn't have many gaping holes on either side of the ball.
of 32
Saints: P.J. Williams, CB, Florida State
At first glance, cornerback may not be a need for the Saints, especially after they drafted Stanley Jean-Baptiste in 2014. However, with Champ Bailey at 36 years old and Patrick Robinson or Corey White not being anything worth investing in long-term, keeping the secondary stocked with talent is essential to stay competitive in the NFC South.
of 32
Patriots: Lorenzo Mauldin, DE, Louisville
The Patriots have worked in each of the last three drafts to add talent to their defensive line. It has led to adequate depth but few flashes outside the occasional awesome performance of Chandler Jones. Mauldin will look to follow Marcus Smith's footsteps as a surprise Louisville first-rounder, and he has the active hands, persistence as a rusher and upside as a strong-side or weakside defensive end to be an eventual NFL starter.
of 32
Seahawks: Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon
Finding a first-round-worthy need for the Seahawks is almost a laughable task. So with Max Unger's contract no longer having guaranteed money tied to it, right guard J.R. Sweezy being nothing special and Caylin Hauptmann being slated as the team's left guard, adding an interior lineman of Grasu's quality seems like a logical fit.
of 32
Broncos: Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
After stocking up on defense in free agency, the Broncos don't have any glaring needs to fill. But with the injury to Danny Trevathan and Nate Irving being potentially replaceable at inside linebacker, Denver could look to add the super athletic, rangy and (sometimes overly) aggressive linebacker.

St. Louis Community Credit Union hosted an event for Jake Zimmerman who is seeking re-election as St. Louis County Assessor.
Missourians are no strangers to cold winters, but in some St. Louis area communities, drafty windows, leaky roofs and rotting foundations cause an even greater burden during these difficult months. For nearly 300 St. Louis area residents, $2.0 million in new affordable housing grants will assist them in making necessary home improvements – giving them a warmer, more affordable winter.
Just four weeks after being officially sworn into office, Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-District 2) met with credit union representatives from her district. Fifteen credit union leaders met with Wagner at First Community Credit Union in Chesterfield on January 31.
Missouri credit union leaders took their message to Capitol Hill as part of the Credit Union National Association's Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), March 18 – 22. The group included 47 attendees from 15 credit unions who visited with each office in Missouri's Congressional delegation.

Bielefeld University, Germany
Particle-particle interactions are usually neglected when considering the behaviour of magnetic particle's so called magnetic beads in e.g. a microfluidic device. However, if the particle density exceeds a critical limit, this assumption might not lead to proper results anymore. In this paper the particle-particle interaction of magnetic beads in an external magnetic field will be discussed. It ...

Cerebral vasospasm is a complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage and other neurosurgical emergencies that reduce blood flow to the brain. Part of the approach to management of vasospasm is to improve flow through the stenotic areas by reducing by decreasing blood viscosity and enhancing flow through the stenosis. To examine the interaction of these factors, we applied computational fluid dynamics ...

My neighbor has too many dogs

More laws aren't the answer

There is an effort to close down small kennels
Saint Louis, MO
#6723 Jul 4, 2012
i think they should shut down all these puppy mills . they keep those dogs caged up all there life and breed over and over.they dont care about the dogs health at all.alot of theses mills sale sickly puppies, and they make a killing out off it.it dosent make to much sense that we all have to register our animals and have them spayed or neutered while they keep breeding and breeding!
#6724 Jul 4, 2012
Huh...sometimes we get what we don't want. Should have read the fine print.....
#6725 Jul 8, 2012
No, cattle aren't kept in the house but they are domesticated animals. You must not understand.
#6726 Jul 14, 2012
Looks like the fake animal rescue people are moving from Silex, renting their house out for now. Good riddance,great job PALS of Lincoln county,St Charles and St Louis we all appreciate the great job you did!
#6727 Jul 15, 2012
Then what is the answer?? Unless people suddenly develope a sense or right and wrong, not likely to happen with this issue, then laws are all we have to work with. Cruelty is wrong and illegal, keeping dogs is filthy conditions is illegal, no vet care illegal,over breeding,not illegal but yet very wrong. Living in a 2' by 2' cage your entire life,not illegal but very wrong. Laws are all we have to battle this type of money making ,greedy people.So,until people develope a conscience(i don't see this happening) then we have laws to shut down these disgusting puppy mills. Keep reporting them, keep fighting this and stop buying the puppies from pet stores. No market for the pupppies then they will shut down.No money, no reason to breed dogs poorly.
#6728 Jul 16, 2012
Advance just closed shelter, thanks Prop B.
#6729 Jul 16, 2012
Good Job
#6730 Jul 19, 2012
Vote Yes
#6731 Jul 19, 2012
Every time another mill shuts down we are one step closer to dogs being treated humanely. We will keep reporting these mills till they are all shut down.
#6732 Jul 19, 2012
Just how many have you personally reported? Or do you just like to get on your soap box within this forum and talk about all the good you are doing? If you truly have reported animal cruelty at mills, than I apologize. However, I highly doubt that you have.
#6733 Jul 21, 2012
Just glad to hear the Silex people are done. They are so stupid. They spent all the money on drugs and good times, what a bunch of losers. Great job PALS.
#6734 Jul 22, 2012
I have reported 3 puppy mills over the last 12 years. All 3 were shut down. it doesn't happen overnight but it does happen. I will report every time I find one, and I will be a pain in the Ass till it is shut down. This is not a soap box, it's real and i do all I can to put them our of business.Also, have 2 dogs rescued from puppy mills... Not all talk here.
#6735 Jul 22, 2012
Too bad this won't stop here. Wonder how long it will be till the ranchers have to have each cow a bed, pillow, color tv, one grade A square bale of hay, and a back rub be fore bed..... Sounds like a stupid made up post??? Do the research of the people truly behind them.
#6736 Jul 23, 2012
I agree people should have read the small pring. I work at an animal shelter and we take dogs from breeders. It is like anything there are some good ones and some bad one.
I spoke with a retired U S Dept of Ag inspector yesterday. He quit because of how they are using the Bill. It is about the money for the USDA also. They charge shelt4ers $1.00 per dog tht they transfer to another rescue or shelter. They also charge $1.00 per dog that is adopted, they are getting double on the transfers. They have 22 pages of laws and most of them are so vaague that an inspector can do anything they want to a breeder or shelter. They need to get some inspectors with common sense. One breeder got written up for refusing an inspection because whe was on the way to the Hosp. to get an IV that she had to wear changed. She has MS. The former inspector suggested that the breeders and shelters hire an attorney and fight the bill until it is better written.
The day after the Bill passed there was a plea about some dogs that a breeder was going to put down because they had too many. I sent this to HSMO in St Louis because they were one of the ones pushing to get the bill through. The plea camae on Wed after the bill passed and was sent to HSMO, the dogs were going to be put down on Fri. I got a reply from HSMO on Monday that if there were any urgent cases to let them know. I thought this many dogs getting put down was urgent. Do you know that less than $2.00 of every $20.00 sent to HSMO and ASPCA go to help animals, the rest is for salary and adveftising. You would be better to give the money to a local shelter.
Now lets all pull together to get something corredted that was done wrong to begin with instead of this stupid badgering of individuals.

I only donate to local shelters anymore. Cause I heard they were not giving money to shelters. I only get dogs from sheltes or rescues.A small way to help.

Nowadays, OEMs introduce new models throughout the calendar-year. For many fleet managers, the staggered release of new models complicates fleet planning and the ordering process. Some model lines may have variable final order and startup dates due to muttiple plant assignments and model configurations. Fleet-minded OEMs have been terrific partners to fleets and, together, there should be a way to mitigate the impact of staggered production schedules for their largest customers.

Christmas on the islands

He cycled on to lunch at 33.5 miles with elevation gains of 3815 ft and max speeds of 45 mph. Lunch was on the water in Playa de Mogan where we watched scuba, swimming and beach goers. It was a fantastic coastal paradise. We shuttled back to the hotel with me drinking lots of electrolytes. Our hotel room was the darkest room I ...
Along the coast

The group met at 5:45 to trek out to the amazing sand dunes. Jakub and Eva setup a blanket with candles, appetizers and wine. There was a guitarist from the islands and we enjoyed hearing about the islands and ...

Finally I chose a road and biked on to meet up with Eva our leader who had returned to check on me. At 14.4 miles when I got in the van and shuttled on to the hotel. Martin continued on some tough climbs including cobblestones to meet me at the hotel doing 18 miles. We have left the coast and climbed to 3100 ...

Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that vRide, a leader in providing alternative transportation solutions for commuters, is benefiting from UltiPro's unified solutions for human capital management (HCM), person-centric user experience, and exceptional customer support.
For over 30 years, vRide has been providing a ride-sharing platform that offers commuters cost-efficient, eco-friendly transportation to and from work. Prior to UltiPro, the company had been using multiple methods to handle its operations for HR, payroll, and talent management. However, to better support its overall business, executives wanted a single, unified HCM solution that would include rich capabilities for HR, benefits enrollment, time management, compensation management, onboarding, performance management, and global HCM. In December 2013, vRide went live on Ultimate Software's UltiPro solution.
"There are a multitude of reasons why we made the switch to UltiPro. Our HR team likes the expanded functionality, especially related to strategic talent management, and of course, having one HCM solution simplifies our work by eliminating manual processes and related reconciliation," said Mark Buzby, director of HR systems & reporting at vRide.
"Plus, UltiPro is very easy to use because Ultimate clearly has the end user in mind when designing the system and interface. Our employees enjoy the convenience, instant access to info, and 24-7 availability; and as result, we have seen a high adoption rate among our associates."
Ultimate's cloud technology is providing vRide with one system of record to manage all of its people-related data. With single-solution HCM, the company is experiencing improved efficiencies through centralized workforce information; fast and extensive reporting and analysis; increased time savings; reduced systems maintenance; as well as industry-leading security and disaster recovery.
In addition to improving business results with UltiPro's capabilities, vRide also cites Ultimate's support services as a primary advantage.
"One of the main factors in our decision to move to UltiPro was Ultimate's excellent customer support," said Buzby. "We now have a single service representative who takes care of our company. Our teams have direct, immediate access to our support representative, and even if we need attention after business hours, we can still contact Ultimate's support teams to help us. In addition to better technology with Ultimate, we are relying on a high level of customer care."
"It's great news when we partner with dynamic companies like vRide. This organization understands how the best technologies are ones that are designed to engage people and help them work better," said Chris Phenicie, chief sales officer at Ultimate Software. "UltiPro's unified HCM is delivered in one consistent, easy-to-manage, easy-to-use solution, and we often hear from our customers that UltiPro is technology that their people want to use. We're very pleased that vRide is benefiting from our sophisticated HCM functionality as well as our responsive customer services."

Going out for frozen yogurt is a great way to reward a child for a good report card or for beating the neighborhood bully in a heated game of mini-golf. Celebrate with this Groupon.
The Deal
- for three Groupons, each good for $10 worth of frozen yogurt ( total value)

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt
The staff at Orange Leaf rejects the oft-touted claim that Americans don't care about nutrition. The problem, they say, has more to do with selection than anything else; most low-calorie sweets don't hold a candle to a fudge brownie or a warm slice of apple pie. They kept this in mind when crafting their frozen-yogurt recipes, working tireless to develop a healthy—and equally delicious—alternative to the dessert status quo by turning to decadent confections and just-picked fruits for inspiration.
Their experiments thus far have yielded more than 60 frozen yogurt flavors, which take turns pumping through the self-serve machines that line their colorful shop's wall. Before taking a seat in a bright orange chair, guests fill their dishes with cool, low-fat swirls of chocolate cheesecake, strawberry banana, and a classic tart that bites as pleasantly as a teething kitten. Juicy pears, crunchy granola, and gooey chocolate sauce headline a smorgasbord of at least 30 toppings ready to scooped or poured into cups before their final weigh-in.
"The yogurt is great and so was the servicece. .It would be a great place to hang out with the free Wi-Fi and eat yougurt with friends or even have a birthday day..."

Microsoft Says Reinstall Overkill In Removing Rootkit 203
from the try-this-handy-therapeutic-coma dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
It's starting to get time for the yearly reinstall anyway. My Windows is getting slow, and a reinstall really clears things up.
Then to use a popular meme "ur doin it wrong" my friend. If you install a lot of software then a simple registry cleaning will keep your Windows running well (I recommend Tuneup Utilities, but for those wanting a free alternative WinUtilities works decently but isn't as nice or full featured as tuneup) and Avast Free with its default sandboxing and JavaScript scan before load will keep all but the most herp derp PEBKAC caused infections away.
Honestly despite all the jokes and FUD passed around here by certa
Give us Windows users credit, we are trained to back up our data!
Full Disk Erase is exactly what you do.
On Windows, You have no idea what the rootkit did while it was active on your system. It probably messed with your registry and opened up back doors for either reinfection or eavesdropping. And I'll guarantee it nuked your system restore so you can't roll the settings back.
External Hard drives are cheap. Windows 7 has a good and easy to set up backup. Back it up with a system image at least once a month and keep it disconnected once you backup. If you get infected, wip
Uninstalling is all thats needed.
Several security researchers agreed with Microsoft's revisions, but a noted botnet expert doubted that the advice guaranteed a clean PC. But an internationally-known botnet expert disagrees.
Redundant much? Could the "editors" possibly make themselves look any more lazy and incompetent if they tried?
Could the "editors" possibly make themselves look any more lazy and incompetent if they tried?
Challenge Accepted?
Maybe what he's trying to say is this:
1. Several researchers agree with Microsoft.
2. A noted botnet expert disagrees with Microsoft.
3. A (different) internationally-known botnet expert disagrees with the noted botnet expert, thereby agreeing with Microsoft.
Okay, not likely. I should know better than to try to defend Slashdot "editors", who are only marginally more useful than the Slashdot programmers, who I noticed have changed the header and footer of the comment section, and in doing so broke the "post an
More like Microsoft corrected the once-again incorrect slashdot headlines, which misquoted them. The original statement refered to restoring the MBR, then performing a system recovery; the headline indicated "REFORMAT ZOMG".

Double right click gives me a context menu in Firefox 5. Right click and middle click work normally in MSIE 9.

2. A noted botnet expert is not so sure
3. Another, Dell, botnet expert is entirely sure that he disagrees
ms never said to re-install windows in the first place, headlines on sites like slashdot mis-reported it to begin with. from slashdot's summary:
"'If your system does get infected with Trojan:Win32/Popureb.E, we advise you to fix the MBR and then use a recovery CD to restore your system to a pre-infected state,' said Feng. A recovery disc returns Windows to its factory settings."
the summary blurted that the recovery disc returns Windows to its factory settings, and left out how it also is the boot environment for restoring from windows backups, which Feng was clearly talking about ("restore your system to a pre-infected state").
"'If your system does get infected with Trojan:Win32/Popureb.E, we advise you to fix the MBR and then use a recovery CD to restore your system to a pre-infected state,' said Feng.
If your recovery CD is pre-infected, then surely you're screwed anyway?
If your recovery CD is pre-infected, then surely you're screwed anyway?
Does that mean the plastic they make a CD from is infected?
No, it refers to a number of OEM's fucktard tendency to give people a 'recovery CD' that reimages the system as it was when they bought it, instead of proper OS install disks.
Yesterday it was Poperub. Now it's either Popereb or Popureb.
You think a computer is going to find the thing when nobody can even decide what string matches its name in the 'sploit DB?
I reinstall both my Windows desktop and Linux laptop every year. Keeps them clean and removes a lot of crap (not just viruses, but old unwanted programs).
I have to say I've never actually reinstalled Linux on a computer. Once it goes on, it stays for years.
I haven't used Linux on my home machine much at all for a couple years, but when I used it more I used Gentoo. A bit less than 5 years ago I managed to mess up Portage enough that I couldn't get Emerge to do anything (except complain a lot), so I gave up and reinstalled. It can definitely happen, even if you know your way around pretty well.
Keeps them clean and removes a lot of crap (not just viruses, but old unwanted programs).
I use Portable Apps wherever possible. (I think the address is portableapps.com, I am not affiliated.) Basically they're just apps that are compressed into a self extracting file. You extract them and they just run, no installation needed. This means after a reinstall (or new computer) I still have my browsers with bookmarks, text/script editors, and a handful of other things I use a lot. When I get a laptop or something I just copy the files over to that machine and I'm running over there, too.
This p
Until the portableapps gets hit by sality, that is.
Im not going to link resources to sality, as the new slashdot wouldnt let you click them anyways. Seriously, how hard is it to keep the website working in at least ONE of the major browsers?
Reinstalling doesnt remove all viruses:
*The MBR can be infected, surviving reinstalls. This is the type of infection popureb is, in fact.
*downloaded drivers may remain infected, as may any other executable content that you neglect to re-download. (Sality is a common virus that seeks out and infects every binary it can find)
Luckily for you, these two types of virus are incredibly common.
I managed to keep both ticking over for over seven years, including cleaning up a couple of windows infections. Best way to keep a windows installation going is to dual boot with Linux and use that Linux boot to do the final repairs and clean up as well as quick simple software backups from the windows partition to the safer Linux controlled partitions.
Poor old stale piss (XP even M$ hates it ~ now) seems to have survived the years and been reasonably reliable as long as you keep a Linux boot on system f
I reinstall both my Windows desktop and Linux laptop every year. Keeps them clean and removes a lot of crap (not just viruses, but old unwanted programs).
I feel sorry for you. However I try to balance the statistics by updating/upgrading the same system since something like 2003, when I scrapped my previous system that was maintained since 1996.
MBR rootkit malware is among the most advanced of all threats.
So advanced, it's been around for 25 years. Boot sector manipulation is like the flint arrowhead of virus tech.

Non sequitur. Just because something is old does not precluded it from being advanced or the "most advanced" of whatever category you are talking about.
Your average Clovis point arrowhead is a pretty advanced bit of stoneworking too: see what I did there? But the point is that if something's been around as long as flint arrows or boot sector viruses, we've usually come up with a good defense against it.
But the point is that if something's been around as long as flint arrows or boot sector viruses, we've usually come up with a good defense against it.
Yes, and in both cases, the best defence is still generally 'don't get hit with one'.
Never underestimate the power of primitive attacks to overcome sophisticated defences.

The best defence is a good offence. So go find a shifty-looking programmer and punch him in the face.
Most malware is made up of compiled assembly language instructions. I guess that means there are no advanced viruses, since they had compiled assembly language instruction-based viruses 25 years ago.
See what I did there?
Modern bootkits remain quite advanced, combining MBR manipulation with hidden partitions running special, encrypted filesystems, downloading instructions from a P2P network guarded with public key cryptography all the while cloaking its activity from detection by all but the most advanced d
But most of the old ones was designed for DOS, which was easy since it called the BIOS. Injecting a rootkit into an modern OS beginning with MBR code is not nearly as easy.
The difference is that now we have VT and a rootkit can meaningfully hide from the OS...
Like someone said, "Nuke 'em from orbit."
In that case, I'd only save whatever key files I had (pics, MP3's) scanning them as they go, then completely FDISK
I haven't had a machine I've owned get infected, yet, that I know about.
There, fixed that for you. But seriously, not all viruses make a lot of ruckus. Some of the most sinister are those that remain hidden and just copy files and activity that look salable. Another are botnets that only do their activity at night or stay tightly throttled.
How does one do a repair install if Windows 7 won't boot?
It seems silly to restrict repair installs to cases where the OS can boot anyway.
How does one do a repair install if Windows 7 won't boot?
Boot off your recovery DVD? You did make one, right?
Actually I have no idea if 'recovery media' these days are even bootable. Back in the day, we used to get real Windows install disks with our computers. No lie! They just handed 'em out in the box like they were candy, or at least not radioactive contraband which mere users couldn't be trusted to touch.
standard security practice after a rootkit infection to NOT trust your system anymore. You never know what kind of shit is installed.
Virusscanners are nice, but work mostly on signatures and will not likely detect virusses which aren't in the signature database. Heuristics is still not good enough.
You cannot garantee that the system is 100% clean.
Reinstallation is therefore a necessary step in the proces.
The infection code can simply intercept all the I/O taking place and prevent the MBR from being cleaned, while also making it look like it has (by intercepting the reads, too). You need to boot from non-writable external media to be sure (non-writable just in case you accidentally boot into the hard drive, which will quickly infect any writable media). And if somehow this thing, or the next big virus/trojan, infects the BIOS by reflashing, even this is no good.
My understanding is a re-install will not do anything if your MBR is infected. you need re-write the MBR and or do a low level format.
It's and interesting problem. Can viruses and rootkits actually be removed, or not? If you fix the MBR and have some tool that claims to find and remove the rootkit is it actually gone, or do you always need to format and reinstall? Is there stuff, even non virus stuff, just floating around that's mucking up your system that nothing can get rid of? That seems unlikely in this day and age.
Lots of people do a windows reinstall every year, I tend to ask: If windows is getting slow every year, well what are y

Viruses have the upper hand because they come first. Although heuristic-driven antivirus has been around for a while, it's never been fully effective. So once the virus gets on the system, you can never know for sure that it's gone. The virus could simply be very effective at hiding itself from the virus scanner. It could be causing the virus scanner to report a status of "Updated" when, to the contrary, updates have not been applied in some time. Ultimately, if the virus is running at the highest priv
The purpose of antivirus software is to alert the user that at least one virus is present on the machine, and that it is time to reformat, and restore critical data from backup
There, fixed that for you
The presence of any malware indicates that the machine has been used in an insecure manner at some time in the past.
I disagree. A co-worker was bit on his corporate PC when he visited The Drudge Report and I assume got nailed by a rouge ad server. Like everyone else have defenses at the firewall and Symantec on the PC. I'll also add that zero-day or an exploit doesn't necessarily mean it was used insecurely, it's just not protected for that particular attack.
(Someone, please, write a virus in a System Management Interrupt handler. Then people will start caring about NOT HAVING GIANT SECURITY HOLES IN THEIR SYSTEMS IN THE FIRST PLACE).

What! Next you will be saying that the USB standard shouldn't auto-install random device drivers and that we should have some kind of removable media devices that would always be perfectly safe to plug in and read because they'd only be a filesystem, even if you found them in the bathroom stall at a LulzSec convention. That'd be madness!
Most people weren't granted an installation disc, and if with such a precious treasure in hand who knows if Microsoft will be so kind as to bless the installation as "genuine".
That doesn't make sense and distressing to see on (I guess what used to be) a technical forum. If the OEM doesn't supply recovery discs then they provide a means for you to create them yourself, and yes they are all genuine. If the OEM doesn't do either then you should be concerned about the legitimacy of the OEM.
But... One of the things I love about the Internet is that I expect there will be a number of examples posted to prove me wrong.
I've had instances where I've used the OEM (Dell) supplied install disk, on the original hardware, only for the online activation to fail, and had to ring the activation hotline (which is just a different kind of online activation, because it's a voice robot).
Who's to say how long it is before the activation system just refuses to allow me to reinstall XP altogether?
Or use the mbr utility on the XP install CD.
Or just use something other than Windows.
I really am just stating the obvious!
according to numerous Windows MBR disassembled reverse engineered blogs states first 300 bytes is the bootstrap executable code pushed into memory by Windows (000h through 012Bh). so in theory, can Microsoft just provide boot image to just boot off USB thumb drive to restore system files (embedded bootstrap files only) and just overwrite first 300 bytes bootstrap code from mbr and call it a day?
I mean, this is chicken and the egg. You can't download BOOTREC.exe on a computer which seldom comes with instal
To switch to Linux Mint.
Maybe this is a naive question, but why not make the PC be OS-reinstallable at the push of a button? A ROM chip would contain the virgin OS, and if there are problems, you hook a backup device and the OS knows what are not OS files to backup, and then re-installs the OS from the ROM, and downloads the updates, and then copies the data from the backup device.
I suppose if the OS is corrupt, it could lie about what's not an OS file. However, is MS didn't scatter data files/documents all over the place it would
Dealextreme has some really cheap PCI cards for this purpose. You can buy really expensive ones elsewhere, too.
The backup, however, is stored on the same disk, so it's security by obscurity all over again.
