[Tutorial] – Fix Search Results Hijack

Friday, April 20th, 2012

About 2 months or so I found myself with a virus after I turned off my ESET Smart Security  to access a site I had blocked. I spent a while trying to fix or bypass the effects of the virus, and wrote a post here about my observations. Well, I fixed the problem a while ago, but till today when I noticed that the post is most viewed; I decided to share it. It’s gonna be a short one as it only deals with fixing the search redirect.

Before you go ahead, make sure that you have cleaned the virus. You should only be having the results hijack issue! (more…)

Commute nav comes to life

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

After a few months of research, planning and sleepless nights; Commute nav ‘ground zero’ (no public functionality yet) hits the web. It’s gonna be an active project over the coming months/years. I’m mainly working on the design and development of the site, but will move over to development only once the design roadmap is complete (and designers handle that).

Here is a screenshot of the site

Search Results being Hijacked

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

My blog has very low activity, so if you’re reading this post; it means you’ve searched for a solution for your problem, but haven’t yet found one.

About 3 weeks ago I was hit by the ‘System Check’ malware. A script on a website (can’t recall off by head which, but it was one of the WordPress sites), likely through a poisoned carrot on the theme files or some upload. My anti-virus (ESET) picked it up, a few times at that. I was curious, and looked into my temp folder to see what was up. A few moments later I had forgotten about the intrusion (I have bad memory), and I turned off ESET Firewall to open a port range (don’t ask why). Then bang!!! I was hit by the malware. (more…)

The Incorporator

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

So in January I registered an entity, mainly to be able to protect an idea I’ve been working on since November 2011. I was impressed at the Registrar’s improvement in service delivery as the whole process took about a month. I hope patent and copyright filing also goes well. I’m working on a *large* project which should hit the private beta status (invitation only stuff) in about 2-3 months. I must admit that it’s difficult as I am doing something of the size and scope that I’ve never attempted before; I hope it doesn’t end up being abandoned like some of my ideas :)

More info will be in the pipeline, but I hope I’ll be the next dot com millionaire haha

Break Every Chain

I absolutely love this song, mostly for the truth of the words; “There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain”.
