How to Remove Conficker Virus

One of the symptoms that you are infected with that Conficker virus is that you can not access security websites like Mcaffee, Systemantec, Comodo, and AVG.

So how do you remove this virus when you can't access anti virus websites?

Solution:
1. Go to the Command Prompt. You can do this by clicking on Start > Run
2. Type in cmd then click the ok button
3. In the command window type in ipconfig /flushdns This will clear cached dns records
4. Or you can stop the dns cache service by typing net stop dnscache
5. Download the Conficker remover from this site http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2009-011316-0247-99
6. Disconnect from the internet and run the virus remover.
7. If it did not seem to remove anything, run your PC in safe mode then run the virus remover again.
8. When the program is finished it should give you a report of the processes that where stopped, the files that were clean, and the registry entries that were corrected.

If the virus is preventing you from downloading the virus remover even after you stopped the dnscache service, you will need to download it from another PC that has not been infected. Maybe you can download from another PC in your office or from an internet cafe.

GIMP: How to Enable Wacom Pen Tablet

If you are doing digital graphics in Gimp, whether painting or simply drawing, it is best to use a pen tablet. Wacom is a recognized brand when it comes to pen tablets. Gimp does support it but it is not enabled by default. How to Enable Pen Tablet Support 1. Launch Gimp using your pen tablet. Don't use the mouse to launch Gimp. If you do, Gimp won't detect it. 2. In the menu click Edit>Preference. 3. On the list click "Input Devices". 4. Click "Configure Extended Input Decives". Here is where Gimp gets weird. If you started Gimp for the first time using a mouse, it will say there are no available input device. But if you launched it using the pen tablet, you will see "Wacom Tablet Pressure Stylus" and "Wacom Tablet Eraser" . 5. Click the Close Button 6. Click "Save Input Device Settings Now" so that the pen tablet will still be supported when you launch Gimp next time.

LED Monitor Review: LG FLATRON E2041

My Old AOC CRT Monitor began to show signs of dying. It would occasionally black out for a few seconds. Sometimes lightning streaks  would run across the screen. I bought that monitor way back in 2006. It served me well for 5 years. It was very durable and AOC is a good brand. And so I had no choice but to buy myself a new monitor. I would have preferred another CRT Monitor but they were no longer available. Even the more recent LCD screens are being phased out in favor a the newer LED monitors.
