Hey everyone. I just spent about 20 hours fighting the most vicious cyber attack I have ever seen. Here's what it did:
1) Disabled all virus protection
2) blocked access to all virus fighting tools and web sites. It did this by DNS aliasing that you could not find or fix.
3) attacked my BIOS making me crash on "any login". I have several backup logins to fight these things as backdoors. All were effected.
4) blocked my wireless and LAN connections
5) Spread loggers and Malware throughout my system
I almost gave up. What this meant was I couldnt get to McAfee, Adaware PCDoctor, Norton, many many others. All sites were literally blocked for access. I couldnt run any software installers. My Microsoft Search was disabled if you can believe that. Seriously!! This was a n ugly attack.
How did I get this? I went to a standard website and it was encoded into the infected site. Invisible. No warning untill it was launched.....too late. I have full virus protection and it was useless.
I had to work in safe mode and look for 3rd party downloads of off name weapons that werent listed in the worms blacklist of security tools. A major flaw in all the Virus protection companies is that they dont download the virus files with their installs. Once this little monster is on your system it blocks you from getting the virus .dat files. NASTY!!
I am not your average PC plunker. For me to fight a pitched battle with these freakin things is unusual. This looks like a cyber attack not a standard virus. WATCH OUT! This could cause real issues in the next month if they dont get on it.
I looked at several security forums and no one knew how to beat this thing. Useless advice on all. It looks like a variant on the Crowt worm to me.
If you get infected a self contained virus elimination tool is all that can work. McAfee has a gadget called a stinger that is a scan and current list of viruses that it can run. A registered user can give you this on a USB drive. I manually edited registry and tweaked all the infected areas.
DONT email!!! It attaches itself to Microsoft mail. Dont worry...this is web based text not email.
I am still fighting the dragon and getting back up but this is a heads up.
Wyshynski an Aye-hole like this could be makin money instead of causin havoc for yuks. That stinks!

The Los Angeles Kings, leading the league with useless Czech celebrities.

Thanks for the cyber-worm comments. I got something like that a few weeks ago from an innocent website text. I had to boot up in safe mood and run a few of the free scanners delivered via usb. Scary stuff, but hardly hockey banter.
How come there isn't a big blog here about reactions to the Winter Classic game (other than Puck Daddy Chat)? I thought it was fantastic, meaning good hitting and aggression, speed, pretty plays, lots of goals, awesome camera angles. No mahor criticism. My friends and I were goofing on the people sitting on rooftops across the street. If you can't see the puck, can you enjoy the action?

I hope they retitle that interview WIRTZ SCIENCE. And I just think it's awesome that Hughes was recognizable. I was pretty sure the next time we'd see him would be a Nolteseque mugshot.
Please, Mr. Hughes. Please come back and make teen movies respectable again.

Of coarse there was alot of celebrities in attendence, who else could afford the tickets? I'm sure there was alot of doctors, lawyers, ceo's, and other high class winter classic wine affeicinatos as well. Why? because according to Mr Buttmen hockey is more of a wine drinking crowd nowadays then the beer drinking blue collar crew that supported this lousy league the past 100 years. Yet another stab in the back to the "Cult" faithful. But then again how else could those high players saleries be paid with the attendance this league gets.
Gary's next quote should be " Thanks for building up this sport to this point but dont let the door hit ya on the way out"

i think vince vaughn is behind the cyber worm attacks. or maybe owen wilson. idk
go pens.

Sorry.........I am just P.O.ed enuff to go Probert on the little creep if I could get my paws around his neck!
Just figured I would pass it on. Seems pretty nasty for just normal Web browsin.
And it stinks!!!

Vince would have said "my mother is a real classy lady" at least twice.

wow mr. bettman, you finally have something here....proof positive that there should be no, no warm weather teams in the nhl!!!! hey hey hockeytown

The only celebrity I saw was former Bulls center Bill Wennington. Since he's a native Canadian, I probably shouldn't have been surprised to see him wearing a custom "WENNINGTON #34" Hawks alternate jersey, but I'm glad I didn't have to stand behind him for the entire game.

Vince: Uh Gary is you hand going..
Gary: Shhh Vince just smile and help me shell merchandise or so help me I will have Koules make you the new James Belushi

To #3 they have no Czech players.....unless you mean Czechoslovakian then thats 1.

Is this Fred Claus 2 with Gary the misfit elf?
Wyshynski elves and cyber worms stink!

That Bettman pic reminds me of when Micheal Powell was chair of the FCC. He had a page which was nothing but pictures of him with celebrities (Oprah among others) and even Mickey Mouse. Its quite funny considering the people he was taking pictures with he had an affect on their life.

God. Thank you for posting such a crappy post on Vince Vaughn. How is he famous again? Dumb comments about Avery? Bad enough local MEDIA and EVERYBODY else made a public crucifixion of Avery...but now 1-dimensional Vince Vaughn? Somebody pull that tampon, this one's saturated.
