H. D. Moore (hdm[at]metasploit.com) has devised a Ruby based search engine that finds malicious windows software (viruses, trojans etc.) using standard Google queries. The Malware search engine finds Web sites hosting malicious files after an user enters the name of a virus or Trojan horse. Currently the signature database is small but still contains dangerous viruses [...]

I've had my computer for a fairly long amount of time. I'm running WINDOWSME and I wonder if it's a Windows problem, or is there something that I'm missing? Ever since I had this computer, and even after my several reformats which have happened since, I have always come up with this error:


It occurs when I use the eraser tool and right click on the screen, sometimes there is more of a delay, and sometimes the program closes with no warning at all. Knowing this, I have gotten into the habit of saving before using the tool. I have messed around a little bit, opening blank documents and trying it, sometimes with or without saving just to see if it has anything to do with it, but still the same result every time.

My running processes are nothing out of the ordinary:

Mozilla Firefox
AIM
Thunderbird
Explorer
Internat (Language support)
Osd (On-screen display)
DirectCD
Rundll
Hidserv
Systray

Does anyone else also experience this problem? Google is definately no help.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this whole html thing and have been teaching myself the language for the last month or so. I've got a bit of an advanced question..or at least I think it's advanced since I can't find anything about it out there in google-land. My problem is that I have 2 drop down menus on my website. The second menu gets populated based on what the user selects from the first menu. When I make a selection from any of the drop down menus the ENTIRE page refreshes. I don't want this to happen...especially when the user makes a selection from the first menu and the second is populaed. I want the form to be submitted without refreshing the entire darn page. Is there a way that I can make this happen?

Cheers,
Meghan

Hello, My favorite PHPers! I come to you once again with one of the easiest things I could ever imagine you've been asked, but it just...doesn't...like...me.

And really, I should have figured this out ages ago.

All I need to do is verify whether a checkbox has been checked.

I've googled it, but unfortunately everything that's popped up has been for JavaScript. Which isn't used in this project.

The status of the checkbox (either checked or unchecked) is going into a database (They're boolean fields that just get set to 0 or 1 it looks like) for use in another part of this app that I, hopefully, won't have to write (like that'll happen).

So here's what my conditional statement looks like:

if ($_POST['docAction1'] == checked)
  $query .= "'1', ";
else
  $query .= "'0', ";

Google’s profits more than doubled in the second quarter, as the company continued to increase its share of the lucrative search advertising market. The company, which announced results yesterday, exceeded analysts’ expectations for both sales and profit. That is in contrast to Yahoo, which disappointed Wall Street Tuesday with lower-than-expected revenue from search-related advertising. Yahoo met [...]

I'm trying to use fopen but it says it can't open the file. I've tried chmoding the file and the directory it sits in. I've finger traced the heck out of my little code to find errors. I can't find anything on all of google about this sort of issue in particular (lots of others, though). Here's the code:



Anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

I was wondering if anyone can assist me with this.  I have to do a web page (in asp.net) that consumes of a web service that desplays the result on my site. For example, the site will provide live scores of some type of sporting event on the page, provide current weather conditions, provide sale information from a site like Amazon or Google, or present a map from Mapquest or another mapping site to a meeting.  Something like that.  If there is any way someone can assist me with this that would be appreciated. Thanks

I've tried using HijackThis to delete the following files, but they keep coming back (not immediately, usually the next day):

b3c6230b.exe

c4c4c003.exe

I've also tried using Pocket Killbox--no luck (although it seems to get rid of them for a longer time, they will come back). How do I get rid of these files permanently?

(PS I Googled the above files to see if I could find out what they were, exactly, and I only got two results. One was my entry here, from a few days before; and the other was my Daniweb thread from about a month ago. So what are these things?)

I didn't get much from Google, so have to ask...

How does multiple selection box (simple list, but with ability to select more than one row) post the data to the server? If the form has a whole bunch of crap posted: drop-downs, text-fields, hidden fields, how do I access the multiple selection box data on the server side (and find out what selections were made)?
