    Introducing NINJHAX - A Nintendo 3DS Homebrew Exploit!

    I have firmware 1.1.0-0U currently. Is there any benefit in keeping this older firmware currently? Also, I haven't played my 3DS much, if you can't tell :)

    Gaming google virus?

    The hosts file is easy. You probably don't see it because you need to uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" in your folder options. The host file should look like: 127.0.0.1 localhost There shouldn't be anything else in there unless an app wrote to it. The hosts file is a lot of...

    Gaming google virus?

    Open your hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) in notepad. You may have to enable hidden files and folders and unchecked hide protected system files. What does it say?

    Gaming google virus?

    Use another PC to download the following: 1) TDSSKiller 2) ComboFix. Get this from BleepingComputer.com 3) Hijackthis TDSS Killer is an amazing rootkit cleanup utility made by Kaspersky (who I normally hate). ComboFix is also good with malware and rootkits. Boot into safe mode with...

    Not a problem. Glad it works now.

    Gaming Windows 7 not reading CDs/DVDs

    Double check the registry path. You should have the filters. Go into your device manager and check your CD/DVD device and see if you have any yellow exclamation points. EDIT: In a last-ditch effort, a System Restore should take care of the issue.

    Gaming Windows 7 not reading CDs/DVDs

    If you're familiar with the Windows registry, you should try to delete your Upper/Lower filters. Here is an article explaining how to do it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461 Once you delete the two registry values, reboot the machine and you might have your problem fixed. Good luck!

    Spanking/Belting... Child Abuse or not?

    I completely agree with what you posted. Spanking where a long-term mark is left on the body is excessive. On the other hand, spanking to get a young child to comply is something that is needed in today's times. Children have no fear now when it comes to getting in trouble. You got grounded...

    Gaming Gentoo Linux, Linux Mint, or Arch Linux?

    I would go with Fedora. Ubuntu is pretty good for a first timer, but you will learn more using Fedora. It's really a matter of opinion, but I have been using both for a few years now and I would choose Fedora over Ubuntu any day. Fedora- Really cool, you'll learn a lot about the internals of...

    25 years of Windows

    99% of this post is completely true. If you've ever used Windows 2000, you'd see that it's almost identical to XP. As far as Vista, it is not a BAD operating system. It just pisses me off when a customer brings in a Vista machine that's stuck in a Windows Update reboot loop. There are...

    Epoclick virus.

    I'll bet you it's the same style of virus that Results5 was. It attacks your router and spoofs your Primary and Secondary DNS servers to another address. All you have to do to clean it up is change your DNS addresses back to their original (in your router config page), ipconfig /release...
