“U disk killer” new variant

National Computer Virus Emergency Action Center to monitor the Internet through the discovery, the recent worms “U disk killer” of the new variant (Worm_Autorun.FCQ), to remind users to carefully guard against.

U disk, such as HIV through removable storage devices such as the characteristics of the spread, but also have a stronger self-protection features such as new features. Variants running, will be infected computer’s operating system under the system directory and run the two generating the virus executable file (for svchost.exe and winlogon.exe), the two documents were the same processes and systems.

At the same time, the variant of the use of multi-process protection, that is, if a process which has been terminated, then the other one or more of the process will be the immediate implementation of a mandatory shut down the operating system’s instructions, to avoid the system of killing anti-virus software to The purpose of self-protection.

In addition, the variants will continue with the infected system to all the root directory of the disk partition to write an executable file (svchost.exe) and a configuration file (autorun.inf). Once computer users to click on any letter, we will start to run the variants. The variant also by modifying the system registry startup items, making variants with the computer system and automatically start running.

In addition, the variant will be forced to take the initiative to the infected operating system Internet connection to access specified Web server, download additional Trojans, viruses and other malicious programs.

Have been infected with the variant of the computer users, the experts recommended an immediate upgrade system anti-virus software, to conduct a comprehensive anti-virus. Not infected with the user should open the system of anti-virus software’s “System Monitoring” feature, from the registry, the system processes, memory, networking, etc. of various operations active defense, so the first time can monitor the activities of the unknown virus to achieve all-round protection of computer system security purposes.

Techmeme automatically give up the news crawl manual intervention

Polymer science and technology news sites techmeme founder Gabe Rivera on the use of the computer automatically crawl the shortcomings of the news. And that the news of manual intervention to provide high-quality scientific and technological information.

Auto news crawl algorithm inevitably problematic. News organizations software is a basic function is to determine whether the two news “news”, but this is usually not an easy task. If the two pieces of news all point to the other side contains the hyperlink, or have repeated “Apple”, “Psystar”, “DMCA”, which is the “news.” However, most cases of the two pieces of news related information is fuzzy, even the most advanced algorithm is also very difficult to make the right judgments. In addition, the news algorithm automatic crawl there can not be dealt with “latest news”.

Ideal news aggregation sites should be “automatic +manual ” mixed mode. “Auto + artificial” hybrid model to more effectively deal with information, or to make up for the lack of a computer. Techmeme this hybrid model is designed to provide users with the most useful information. Outdated information will be deleted quickly, “latest news” and “news” will also be improved to deal with.

Ant API called Java usage collection

Ant is a Java programmer’s a good tool, mainly for java programmers to help project management, including the bulk compile, deploy, document generation, and so on, and its use so far, ant a lot of built-in API for a variety of File system operations in a variety of server applications have been widely used in the procedures and the deployment of resources.
Ant is a powerful place, programmers can not only prepare the Ant script (build.xml) for the deployment of a variety of file management operations, but also by calling the Ant-rich API, and even the expansion of the API program Ant.

Ant script to prepare for the introduction of more books, and the introduction of the Ant API called Java books and less information, Ant novice user in programming when there would be a lot of trouble, and the author is in the process of project development, and gradually find out To master a number of Java and Ant API call some of the methods and techniques, and used the cases collected presented to us (the use of Ant 1.7.0 version of this article) for your reference.
