DNS Changer virus removal tool

~ Spread of DNSChanger and interim measures:

DNSChanger (Also known as Internet Doomsday virus) was a DNS hijacking trojan (Malware) active from 2007 to 2011. It’s spread by an Estonian company known as Rove Digital. DNSChanger trojan infected computers by modifying a computer's DNS entries to point toward its own rogue name servers, which then injected its own advertising into web pages. At its peak, DNSChanger was estimated to have infected over 4 million computers, bringing in at least $14 million in profits to its operator (Rove Digital) from fraudulent advertising revenue.

On November 9, 2011, as part of Operation Ghost Click (a collaboration between authorities in several countries and others that was investigating it), the United States announced charges against six Estonian nationals and one Russian national connected to the DNSChanger trojan, for wire fraud, computer intrusion, and conspiracy. Arrests were made by Estonian authorities, and its control and DNS servers in the U.S. were seized by the FBI.

Due to concerns by the FBI that users still infected by DNSChanger could lose internet access if the rogue DNS servers were shut down entirely, a temporary court order was obtained to allow the Internet Systems Consortium to operate replacement servers to serve DNS requests from those who had not yet removed the infection. While the court order was  expired in March 8, 2012, an extension was granted until July 9, 2012, due to concerns that there were still many infected computers. F-Secure estimated on July 4, 2012 that at least 300,000 computers were still infected with the DNSChanger malware. ‘These computers will lose most access to the internet on July 9, 2012 due to the shutdown of the interim DNS servers’.

India’s Unmanned Strike Air Vehicle (USAV) – Digital Art

Few weeks ago when i seen images of India's Unmanned Strike Air Vehicle (USAV) on Shiv Aroor's blog Livefist i decided to draw at least one digital painting from one of those images.

India's USAV (Also known as AURA -- Autonomous Unmanned Research Aircraft) will be a stealth UCAV (Unmanned Combat Arial Vehicle), capable of releasing missiles, bombs and precision-guided munitions. The program is in its initial stage. Details of the USAV is classified and no official specifications is in public domain. USAV is expected to be ready for operations by 2020.

Here i posting original picture of USAV along with my digital painting. I used Paint.net for line drawing and TwistedBrush Pro softwares for creating this painting.

I want to thanks Shiv for allowing me to use his blog picture for this digital painting.

Why People Leave Our Lives?

All the life we meet and lose some nice people. Some people pass through our lives and we don't even realize they were there beside us, while some people stay forever engraved in our hearts.  But there comes a time when those people have played certain role in our lives and they walk away, like they've never known us.  Later we will meet   some other people,which can be better or worse of those who have left us.  And their departure leave us with millions unanswered questions and with the grief in our hearts, we wonder why people leave,and usually those who have meant a lot to us, with whom we have shared both, good and bad and right and wrong.. And they usually leave when we least expect it, when everything looks great and fine.

People come and go. Some remain long in our lives and then disappear, far away from our eyes. And why did they walked away? Maybe they went to move on. In life there are too many 'maybe' and 'probably'. Likewise, friends come and go, love come and go. 

That's how it goes in life. They were a big part of our lives, they were important people, someone we could not live without, but we we can not keep them by our side if they don't wanna stay. We ask ourselves often: is it our fault? But the fact is that nobody is to blame.Such is life, everyone follow its fate. 

And so the whole of our lives, we meet and lose friends, love, but what remains eternally with us are our memories and the impact that those people made on us. Some people come into our lives and change us for the better, some of them we change for the better, but then comes that moment when each of us walk away. Everything has its beginning and the end, there is a time for happiness, sadness, new love, for life and death. And every end is a new beginning. 

 I have lost so many nice people in my life, and I used to wonder, will they ever come back, will I ever see them again, do they still remember me?Have I done something wrong, have I hurt them unknowingly and made them leave? But then I stopped questioning myself and learned to live with it, (although deep inside I feel sadness and regret 'cause I couldn't keep them in my life) , and I know that even these people I'm close with now will leave one day,or maybe will not walk away, but there is a possibility that I myself will change, or they will change and we will not be so close anymore, won't share same interests, opinions, attitudes, priorities.

And that's sad, but life must go on, with those who have gone or without them. The only thing left are the memories of them, and the impression that they made on us. 

There is also a hope- Maybe they will come back when they realize what they have left behind. But can you wait forever or at least that part of eternity called life? Is something worth of waiting for? That only your heart can tell.. If you have lost someone, someone who took away part of your soul, then you will always hope-they will come back. And what is life without hope, without expectations? All you have is time- it will either bring them back to your life- or maybe, you will forget over the time. Till then you can only live with the memories you shared with them.
