Spoke to a friend of mine who has bought a "iBUYPOWER Gamer 931NX", and after the latest Vista update it started BSOD-ing 1 to 2 times per day.
I've tried to find related topics to help her but haven't found any valid solution. According to what I read on various forum entries that I found through googling, BSOD-ing with Nforce SATA on Vista OS-using computers is fairly common and some people consider XP instead.
She tried rolling system back to before the update but the BSODs remain.
Anyway, now 3:32 am (when I am writing this) my eyes are tired and the darn birds have already started tweeting outside making me want to shoot them.
Anyway, I've been on here reading through a few articles getting more and more interested in the things going on here. I hope to find some interesting tutorials or just blogs with someones re-project in so I could follow up and try to understand his or her progress in an attempt to learn something.
I scanned my computer finding about 40 files claimed to be viruses. However I know for fact that around 20~30 are intentional duplicates of things such as WPE Pro(haven't found a proper alternative that preforms according to purpose, at least not that works on WinXPSP2) and various "trainers" I've made using some trainer maker kit.
I forgot to mention in Birth-entry about that I read about something called "Fire Fox Password Stealer", I googled about it and appears it was an exploit in FF3, however I've got no idea if it poses threat to FF2.
It was/is some extension with hidden code in it that would download and install the pw sniffer silently emailing the un/pw-files to an private email using some function in FF3.
Think there's other extensions and applications designed to do the same thing.
My mind just drew a blank... sorry. I'll hopefully have more for people tomorrow.
Peace,
Pom~
