			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Letter is from <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/banta-singh/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with banta singh">Banta Singh</a> of Punjab to Mr. <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/bill-gates/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with bill gates">Bill Gates</a> of <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a><br />
Subject: Problems with my new computer </strong></p>
<p>Dear Mr. <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/bill-gates/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with bill gates">Bill Gates</a>,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some<br />
problems,  which I want to bring to your notice.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. There is a button &#8216;start&#8217; but there is no &#8216;stop&#8217; button. We request you to check this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. We find there is &#8216;Run&#8217; in the menu. One of my friends clicked &#8216;run&#8217;   he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to &#8216;sit&#8217;, so that we can click that by sitting.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. One doubt is<span id="more-1028"></span> whether any &#8216;re-scooter&#8217; is available in system? I<br />
find    only &#8216;re-cycle&#8217;, but I own a scooter at my home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. There is &#8216;Find&#8217; button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this &#8216; find&#8217;<br />
button,  but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. My child learnt &#8216;<a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> word&#8217; now he wants to learn &#8216;<a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> sentence&#8217;, so when you will provide that?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows &#8216;MY Computer&#8217;: when you will provide the remaining items?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">7. It is surprising that <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with windows">windows</a> says &#8216;MY Pictures&#8217; but there is not   even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">8. There is &#8216;<a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">MICROSOFT</a> OFFICE&#8217; what about &#8216;<a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">MICROSOFT</a> HOME&#8217; since I use the PC at home only.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">9. You provided &#8216;My Recent Documents&#8217;. When you will provide &#8216;My Past Documents&#8217;?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">10. You provide &#8216;My Network Places&#8217;. For God shake please do not<br />
provide   &#8216;My Secret Places&#8217;. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my  office hours.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Regards,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Banta</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last one from me to Mr <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/bill-gates/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with bill gates">Bill Gates</a> :</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but u are selling <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with windows">WINDOWS</a>?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_819" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-819" title="trend-micro" src="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/trend-micro-150x150.jpg" alt="conficker" width="150" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">conficker</p></div>
<p>WASHINGTON(AFP) – The Conficker worm, believed to have burrowed into millions of computers around the world, has sent an encrypted data message to infected machines, according to a security firm.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/trend-micro/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with trend micro">Trend Micro</a> said the purpose of the mysterious update, sent to other infected machines using peer-to-peer (P2P) file transfer software, was not immediately clear.<span id="more-818"></span></p>
<p>Ivan Macalintal, a <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/trend-micro/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with trend micro">Trend Micro</a> advanced threats researcher, said Conficker began showing activity on Tuesday, nearly a week after the expected April 1 activation date that had computer security experts on alert around the world.</p>
<p>“As expected, the P2P communications of the Downad/Conficker botnet may have just been used to serve an update,” Macalintal wrote in a post late Wednesday on the TrendLabs Malware blog. “The Conficker/Downad P2P communications is now running in full swing!” Macalintal said the worm was connecting to MySpace.com, <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/msncom/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with msn.com">MSN.com</a>, eBay.com, CNN.com and AOL.com to detect whether a host computer is connected to the Web.</p>
<p>After performing the test, it deletes any traces of itself in the infected machine, he said, adding that it is scheduled to stop running the test on May 3.</p>
<p>“It runs and deletes all traces, no files, no registries etc,” he said.The worm remains present on an infected machine, however, and could be activated at a later date.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/trend-micro/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with trend micro">Trend Micro</a> is monitoring the worm on an infected computer as part of the Conficker Working Group of security experts.</p>
<p>A task force assembled by <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> has been working to stamp out Conficker, also referred to as DownAdUp, and the software colossus has placed a bounty of 250,000 dollars on the heads of those responsible for the threat.</p>
<p>The worm, a self-replicating program, takes advantage of networks or computers that haven’t kept up to date with security patches for <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/windows/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with windows">Windows</a>.</p>
<p>It can infect machines from the Internet or by hiding on USB memory sticks carrying data from one computer to another.</p>
<p>Conficker could be triggered to steal data or turn control of infected computers over to hackers amassing “zombie” machines into “botnet” armies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> has modified its free Malicious Software Removal Tool to detect and remove Conficker. Security firms, including <a href="http://www.pakistanihousewife.com/tag/trend-micro/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with trend micro">Trend Micro</a>, Symantec and F-Secure, provide Conficker removal services at their websites.</p>
<p>The tell-tale signs that a computer is infected includes the worm blocking efforts to connect with websites of security firms providing online tools for removing the virus.</p>
