Did you click the CPU sub-tab within the process list window? Clicking once should put lowest # on top, but if you click it again, it should put the highest on top... or perhaps I'm missing your question...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Well, I installed and used VMware player. Unfortunately, it doesn't have one feature that I really need: snapshot. Without that, I can not revert back after infecting my machine. I may give VM Works a whirl now...

Hey iccaros. Yeah, I was considering that. I may decide to reinstall ubuntu for this. The person I talked to who was a Bochs developer told me the same thing. Matt

Just an update: jcl, I'm going to try to do this with VMware Player. I did some snooping online and found a simple way to do it. Thanks for this tip! Matt

Hi surfwick. Your log is clean. But just to be sure you have a clean system, let's run a scan. Please download ewido security suite it is a free version of the program. Install ewido security suite When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..Install background guard Install scan via context menu [*]Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it. [*]The program will now open to the main screen. [*]When you run ewido for the first time, you may get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment. [*]You will need to update ew

We miss you Marty! Get well soon!

Hey guys. I don't want to have to lock this thread, because REMIX is looking for assistance on his legit copy of the game, and he deserves support for that. So please, don't bring cracks into the conversation. REMIX, I've been doing some googling on this issue, and haven't been able to find much. Matt

Very cool Steamhead! Thanks!!!!

Alright, thanks. Like I said, this won't be that last you hear from me on this. I'll return once I get it set up if I need OS install help, persuade VMPlayer to use windows, or other things. Thanks again jcl.

There's probably some registry keys too..

Thanks jcl. I'll play with both of them, and I'll probably mess around with VMWare Player. This most likely won't be the last you hear from me on this, as I'll most likely hit some road bumps along the way. Matt

Heh, way over my head jcl I think I'll try Bochs, (once I return home) and see how it works out. I just spoke with a developer of Bochs, and they said that (as with any emuator) there is the risk that if the malware travels over a network, it could send packets to my host machine. Users of VMWare that do malware testing say they have never had an issue of being infected via connection to the emulated OS--so that's good. Do you see any advantages of QEMU over Bachs? Thanks, Matt

I will be needing to run Windows OSes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you cannot load your OS into VMWare Player, you have to use one they offer?

Hello everyone! I am interested in using the IA-32 Emulator Bochs. I intend to use this to do testing on malware and various fixes. My concern is the security of this emulator. Since I do intend to be infecting the emulated OSes using Bochs, I want to be sure that it poses no risk to my physical machine. Basically, I want to know if it will function as successfully and securely as VMWare. Unfortuantely, I cannot afford VMWare, nor do I have a test box for this type of thing. If anyone has used this before, let me know what you think. Thanks, Matt

Very cool shanenin! Best of luck to your business! If you do get a lot of folks with linux problems, they sure will have the right guy on the job! Do you have a web site for your business?

Congrats! The log is clean! How is the system running? The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again. Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections. AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destro

LMAO.. whew those were great. Took me a minute on #3.. hehe

[RANT] So, christmas was today (yay! ) I got a lot of CDs, which is, of course, great! There's nothing like expanding a music collection, especially if you don't pay for it. . Well, with all this crap going on with Sony, I made sure that I checked every CD I asked for to make sure that it was not produced by SonyBMG. Uknbeknowst to me, SonyBMG has many "sub-units". One of which is SunnComm. Well, likewise, one of the CDs I got (actually, it was a dual-disc set, but that's beside the point) was produced by this sneaky little "sub-unit". Luckily, there is no Sony Rottkit present--so it

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
