Win 7 AntiMalware 2010 Removal
Win 7 AntiMalware 2010 is a rogue malware removal tool, fake virus protection program that displays fake security alert and lists false system security threats just to trick you into thinking that your computer is infected with spyware, adware and other malware. It’s not a new rogue program. It uses misleading methods to trick users into purchasing the rogue program. Don’t buy it!
As a typical scareware, Win 7 AntiMalware 2010 displays fake security warnings and notifications claiming that your computer is infected and under attack from a remote computer. That’s not true, please ignore such false information. The rogue program also blocks antivirus and antispyware programs and hijacks Internet Explorer & Firefox. It may disable Task Manager and Registry Editor to make the removal process rather complicated as these tools are very useful when removing such infections. You may choose to remove Win 7 AntiMalware 2010 either manually or with an automatic removal tool. However, please note that this rogue program may come bundled with other malicious software that’s why we strongly recommend you to use an anti-malware program for Win 7 AntiMalware 2010 removal.
I have now completed the removal and restoration of my system. I have backed up all the registry keys and will wait a week or so before deleting them in case I need to restore them. To make sure the I checked the registry keys were the same on both an XP and Windows 7 PC and work.
First a warning – this requires changing Windows registry, which can irretrievably damage your system if you make a mistake. Please ensure you backup your system before proceeding and make backups of all registry keys before you change/delete them. I cannot be held responsible if you break your system. If you are unsure, consult a professional before proceeding.
Anyways, here what I did:

Fear
The idea for the trilogy was suggested by an older man telling that he didn’t think life was ruled by love, or reason, or money, or the pursuit of happiness — but by fear. This smart-but cynical guy’s position was that most people’s actions are motivated by fear of being hungry, fear of being hurt, fear of being alone, fear of being robbed, etc., and that people don’t make choices based on hope that something good will happen, but in fear that something bad will happen.
I reacted to this the way all of us tend to react to generalities: “Well, I’m not like that!” But then I started thinking about it more, watching the way people around me behaved, and I soon realised that there was something to this viewpoint, So I sketched out the three “theaters of fear,” as I saw them: how fear works inside us (“The Enemy Within”), how fear is used against us (“The Weapon”), and how fear feeds the mob mentality (“Witch Hunt”).
As it happened, the last theme was easiest to deal with, so it was written first, and consequently appeared first on record, and the other two followed in reverse order for the same reason
Neil Peart on the “Fear” trilogy by Rush, still an interesting philosophy

Win 7 AntiMalware 2010
Bugger – I am an IT Professional and I got hit with Win 7 AntiMalware 2010 Fake-AV yesterday. I am running Windows 7 with Sophos Anti-Virus v9 and Windows Defender, all fully patched yet still got hit – perhaps I should shell out for the paid version of Malware Bytes!.
I am currently cleaning up my iTunes, moving greatest hits to original albums, removing duplicates, putting the English album covers on instead of American, and it was this last part part that got me – downloading images from Google. I was looking for the 2 heads facing each other that can look like a vase. In the 90′s I was in a band that had a recording session that we sold on cassette. I still have it on my iPod, but never kept the artwork and I was trying to re-create it.

Oh crap…
My pride and joy has been laid up since the 16th February with Head Gasket Failure. I am getting Russell (apparently the man who is all things MG) to come a replace it, and renew the cam belt and water pump on the 13th March. He is coming all the way from Sevenoaks and is only charging just over £400 for the privilege. That’ll have been a whole month.
Have however taken the opportunity to polish up the petrol cap surround. Read the rest of this post »

Swine flu…
Been laid up with swine flu since Thursday. Am re-evaluting the lifestyle, particularly in light of the diabetes and reduced immune system, and am considering joining a gym!

First top down drive … and first spin
I came home from work yesterday with the top down 
and was laughing all the way (got a lot of funny looks). Also did first modification – replaced the CD413X radio/cd with my Kenwood that I took out of my old Mondeo before I sold it. For those interested it is a KDC-W4544U and is iPod compatible – the only reason I bought an iPod as the car’s the only place I’m allowed to play my music.
Came into work this morning and lost the backend as I turned onto the last road with the ice – fortunately I managed to pull it back.
Memo to self – remember it’s rear wheel drive and if you power out of the turn and it’s icy the rear wheels will go where they want to go!!!
