TROJAN
The other night I noticed my laptop was getting slower and slower. Being an IT professional and knowing I wasn’t running anything major I realised my laptop had been infected by something bad.
After running SPYBOT it showed that I had SKYNET trojan installed on my pc and it was going to happily remove it. Unbeknown to me it HAD NOT.
Tonight after running SPYBOT a couple of times I realised it wasn’t getting rid of this horrible hidden menace.
So to help anyone that has got this my recommendation is an application called Combofix. It HAS successfully removed this little menace. It does take a little bit of time, but a highly recommended solution.
I hope my ramblings can help others out.
With all laptops/netbooks coming with built in bluetooth I always fancied getting myself a bluetooth mouse.
Finally I bought a Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000 and what a purchase that was.
All you get is the mouse and batteries, no dongle/usb connector or cable.
Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse
- Transceiver Free Convenience
- High Definition Laser Technology
- Battery Life Indicator
- Ergonomic Design
- Back Button
- Scroll Wheel
It is great as underneath you have a power on/off switch and a bluetooth pairing button.
Pairing is easy, just switch on the mouse and hit the bluetooth button, then get your laptop/desktop/notebook/netbook to scan for bluetooth devices. It will mention about entering a pin code but that is bogus it just carries on and then works.
The best things is that you can switch on the mouse at any time, within seconds the mouse on the screen will move. So no future pairing.
This is the spec of the mouse
