Warning !! Adobe.exe virus , a new threat

If you’ve browsed over Windows Task Manager and noticed a small file by the name of Adobe.exe, you’ve probably brushed it aside as a critical file that is required for Photoshop to work correctly.

While this is perfectly understandable given the unambiguous name of the file, you should remember that not every file is what it claims to be. In the case of Adobe.exe files, what you’re actually seeing is a third party virus, designed to look innocuous with the name of a globally respected company as its alibi.

As you can probably imagine, the hackers who work tirelessly on their virus creations have had to find a way to cloak their malicious files. Particularly in the case of spyware, but also in adware and medium threat viruses too.

If you’ve spotted Adobe.exe, you should take note that there is no such legitimate file – released by Adobe – which has that name. You can take a hint from the name itself. What is Adobe? It’s not a program. It’s not a crucial ImageReady or Dreamweaver executable file. It’s simply a company name.

The same distrust should be applied if you happen to see a Microsoft.exe file floating around your system. Hackers thrive on a breach of trust and by slapping a misleading name on their harmful files; they’re halfway towards doing the damage that they’d love.

You’ll find that a quick scan of your hard drive will swiftly highlight the Adobe.exe file. The problem is that most people opt to assume that the anti-Virus software has made a mistake! Why would it be pointing to a name that you know is safe?

A file doesn’t have to be named Big_Fat_Virus.exe to compromise the security of your computer. In most cases, instances of spyware are designed to replicate system processes in appearance. Of course, you can’t see what’s going on under the surface. And anybody who has had a brief scout around their critical system files is certain to have apprehension about deleting a file which claims to be System32.exe.

The best way to know if you’re affected is to run TWO scans of your hard drive, with two different anti-Virus suites. If both programs return the same Adobe.exe alert – or whatever suspiciously named file that you’re worried about – go right ahead and have the problem rectified.

We’re always being warned about the importance of using the Internet with sufficient protection from malicious users, and it’s because it IS very important.

You should have a strong firewall, capable of dealing with intrusions, and a commercial anti-Virus suite checking email attachments and downloaded files for traces of viruses.

But it’s also crucial that you don’t rely on an anti-Virus suite to do all of the hard work. It’s still a good idea to download a free system clean-up utility – there are many available on the Net – and to run it regularly. This will go a long way to cleaning spyware and adware, and it will also boost your system’s performance.

What is Set-top box and How it works?

What is Set-top box and How it works?

Set-top Box - (STB) - May be known as set top, Set-tops, set-top box, set top box, STB, Receivers, Converters, Decoders, Intelligent Set-top Boxes, Set-top Decoders, Smart Encoder, Digital TV Converter, DTV Converter, Voice-enabled Set-top Boxes, Digital Decoder, DTV Tuner, Descrambler, Digital Set-top Box, Addressable Converter, Demodulator, Smart TV Set-top Box, ITV enabled Set-top Box, Internet-enabled Set-top Box, ITV enabled Set-top Cable Box, Satellite-enabled Set-top Box, Cable-enabled Set-top Box, Low-end Boxes, Thin Boxes, Thick Boxes, Smart TV Set-top Box, Super Box, All-in-one Set Top Box, Integrated Set Top Box, Hybrid Cable Box, Media Center. Associated with Digital Media Adapters, Digital Media Receivers, Windows Media Extender Set-top Boxes, Gaming Consoles, Multifunction Adapter.)

Its ancestor is often considered the Nintendo game box as those ancient 8-bit game boxes had data ports. (A data port is a physical interface on a device through which information travels.) A set-top box (STB) is a device that connects to an external signal source and decodes that signal into content that can be presented on a display unit such as a TV. 

Modern day set-top boxes generally are digital devices that communicate using computer language. In the past when the set-top box functions were built in to another device, such as a TV, it might have been referred to as a device with a“built-in”. Now-a-days the phrase “built-in” has been superceeded by the phrase "integrated". Now a TV with set-top box functionality built into it is more often called an "Integrated TV". If it's a digital TV, it would be known as an "Integrated Digital TV" (iDTV). Do note that just because a TV has set-top box functions built in to it, that doesn't mean it's a digital TV.  In that case it's just an analog TV with set-top box functions built into it. 

A set-top box is a computerized device that processes digital information. Set-top boxes (STB) come in many forms and can have a variety of functions. Digital Media Adapters, Digital Media Receivers, Windows Media Extender and most video game consoles are also examples of set-top boxes. Currently the type of TV set-top box most widely used is one which receives encoded/compressed digital signals from the signal source (perhaps your cable or telco TV provider's headend) and decodes/decompresses those signals, converting them into analog signals that your analog (SDTV) television can understand. The STB accepts commands from the user (often via the use of remote devices such as a remote control) and transmits these commands back to the network operator through some sort of return path. Most set-top boxes deployed today have return path capability for two-way communication.

STBs can make it possible to receive and display TV signals, connect to networks, play games via a game console, surf the  Internet, interact with Interactive Program Guides (IPGs), virtual channels, electronic storefronts, walled gardens, send e-mail, and videoconference. Many STBs are able to communicate in real time with devices such as camcorders, DVD and CD players, portable media devices and music keyboards. Some have huge hard-drives and smart card slots to put your smart card into for purchases and identification.

-------

Generally put, to provide interactive services, the set-top box might need some or all of the below:(1)  A network that offers the potential for interactivity.
(2) The network interface - This connects the STB to a network which makes it possible to communicate with the servers.
(3)  A tuner is electronics that 'catch' the incoming signal.(4) The decoder - In order to save storage space, disk bandwidth, and network bandwidth, programming is usually encoded (compressed) before being sent over the network to the STB. Thus, the end-user (subscriber) needs a decoder to decode (uncompress among other things) the incoming stream's data before it can be viewable on the TV. This is part of what a modem does. The decoding process may be known as (or include) Demodulation (Heavy Lifting.) It could include Demultiplexing. Also see Codec. H.264 (MPEG-4) compression technology utilizes up to 40 percent less network bandwidth than the MPEG-2 compression used in most systems to date.  
(5) The buffer - Due to delay jitters in the network, the exact arrival time of a video stream often cannot be determined. In order to guarantee continuous and consistent playback for the viewer, the video and/or data stream(s) may be received one or even a few seconds before it's actually seen by the end-user.  This way if there are fluctuations in the transport time of the streams to that receiver (aka set-top box, decoder), the viewer won't know the difference as their buffer has a bit of time to spare. 
(6) Synchronization software/hardware - Video and audio streams must be synchronized with each other before viewing. Other streams may be added including those related to enhancements (such as metadata.) 
(7) Middleware
(8) Platform
(9) Applications
(10) Any additional software and/or hardware.
(11) A return path (back channel).

-------

Set-top boxes may be associated with these major categories. (The below was originally written in 2002 and has some updates):  

(1) Broadcast TV Set-top Boxes - (a.k.a. Thin Boxes) - A more primitive set-top box with no back channel (return path.)  These might come with interface ports,some memory and some processing power.  

(2) Enhanced TV Set-top Boxes - (May be known as: Smart TV Set-top Box, Thick Boxes) - These have a back channel (return path), often through a phone line. These may be capable of Video on Demand, e-commerce, Internet browsing, e-mail communications, chat and more.

(3) Advanced Set-top Boxes - (a.k.a. Advanced digital Set-top boxes, Smart TV Set-top Box, Thick Boxes, All-in-one Set Top Box, Media Center) - A fully integrated set-top box.  These have good processors, memory, middleware, software applications and optional hard-drives.  They're often used with high-speed (broadband) connections. Features could include high-speed Internet access,Interactive TV, digital video recording & gaming. Instead of this, a "sidecar" (below) might be used in tandem with the set top box and/or TV. Advanced set-top boxes are more likely to be integrated with DVRs and high-definition TV. See Media Centers.

(4) Sidecar -  (Please note this 2007 update; as advanced set-top boxes now typically are integrated units, the sidecar is not often used.) - This type of set-top box provides an additional transport stream of data from the network operator to compliment the main stream.  With Charter Communications’, the BMC-8000 (Broadband Media Center) is/was a sidecar box that works in tandem with the Motorola DCT-2000. A fully integrated unit would not require a Sidecar. 

(5) Hybrid Digital Cable Box – A Hybrid Digital Cable Box is a specialized cable TV set-top box with high end functions. Motorola Broadband’s DCP501 home theater system is/was an example (depending on when you read this.) It has/had a DVD player and high-end stereo output. This term may be antiquated. See Home Media Centers.

(6) Over-the-top Boxes - Electronic device manufacturers are providing DVD players, video game consoles and TVs with built-in wireless connectivity. These devices piggy back on an existing wireless network and pull content from the Internet and deliver it to the TV set. Typically these devices need no additional wires, hardware or advanced knowledge in how to operate. Content suited for TV can be delivered via the Internet. These OTT applications include Facebook and YouTube. Also see Internet-connected TV.

--------

In the States, CableCARD can offer an alternative for cable TV users. The physical CableCARD is a PCMCIA type II PC card approximately the size of a thick credit card. These allows cable consumers in the States to view and record digital cable television channels on DVRs, PCs and TVs without the use of decoding equipment such as a set top box. CableCARDs unlock the channels and services that the cable customer has subscribed to. Some CableCARD technologies can even be used with devices that have no physical CableCARD slots.In the States, Motorola and Cisco's Scientific Atlanta supply most of the boxes cable operators provide to subscribers.

Google Announces Offline Maps, 3D Fly-over Views, and Street View Expansion

Google announced Wednesday that its mobile version of Google Maps is going offline, Street View is going off road with a new backpack-sized camera, and Google Earth will soon be serving up eye-popping new 3D imagery that you'll be able to "fly" above.

News of the Google Earth and Maps upgrades come a week before Apple is expected to dump Google as its default mapping technology on its iOS mobile platform. Perhaps Google's intent was to show Apple what it was going to miss. And it did.

Eye Popping 3D Fly Overs

Google’s Google Earth team has been working hard over the past year to add “fly-over” capability to the product. Product manager Peter Birch demonstrated the new functionality by flying over some well known spots in San Francisco and viewing various angles of City Hall, Coit Tower and the Embarcedero. Google says it has contracted a fleet of small airplanes equipped with the Google Earth cameras. The planes fly around tall buildings and other landmarks, and in strips over the city capturing thousands of 3D images of different angles of every object and every piece of landscape. Then through an automated process called Stereophotogamitry, a bank of computers uses complicated algorithms to review all the images captured by the planes. The best images for each tiny section of each object are chosen, then fitted together to form a complete 3D image. And there are many such 3D images for each building or landmark, covering all the angles one would see if he flew around it in an airplane. The new fly-over capability will launch for a small set of cities “in the next few weeks,” Google says. Street View Trekker

Google’s Street View is getting some new tricks, too. Luc Vincent, Google’s Street View engineering director was here to a new way Street View cameras will be going off-road to capture images. It unveiled a backpack-sized Street View camera that weighs 40-lbs and that people can wear and capture 360-degree images anyplace they can hike.

The Trekker is meant to compliment existing off road Street View cameras such as its Google trike.

Going Offline with Google Mobile Maps And finally, after many requests from users, Google is making mobile Google Maps usable even when you have no access to Wi-Fi or cellular signal. You just select a section of a map that he will need offline before they leave home. Then map then downloads, and when you arrive at the place where you know you’ll be offline, the Map will work in a very similar way to how it works when connected.

The map will work with your GPS signal to locate where you are, but you won’t be able to zoom down to Street View level. This capability will be available in the next few weeks on Android, but not on iOS. The service will become available in the next few weeks, the company says.

Google says it has now collected more than 20 petabytes of Street View imagery, and that 75 percent of all people in world can now see their house in a high definition graphic on Google Maps.

Facebook is developing messenger app for Windows

Popular social networking site, Facebook has been working on their messenger app for the Windows platform. The app is in its final stages, already, and Facebook revealed in an official post that they have rolled out the 'trial application' to only a handful of their users for now.

Facebook Messenger app for Windows

Facebook's Messenger for Windows application will essentially allow users to use some of Facebook's prime features like chat, ticker updates and notifications, even if they haven't logged onto the Facebook site, but are just surfing around the Internet. What is out now, to a handful of users is the first version of the trial application. Needless to say, even as people begin using the app, Facebook will be adding updates to it and as they do it, there will be incidents of outage, confirms Facebook. 

The post also confirms that updates to the Messenger for Windows application will be automatically installed. Those with Windows 7 on their computer will be able to install the app. Interestingly, the same privacy settings that a user sets for their Facebook profile, will be applicable to the app, too.

MTNL website has been Hacked

Hacker group disrupts MTNL website

The website of state-run telecom company MTNL was disrupted by a hacking group today to protest against "censorship" of the internet.

MTNL's corporate website could not be accessed, following the attack since afternoon and officials said efforts were underway to restore it.

However, its individual city-specific websites (for Delhi and Mumbai) were working.

MTNL Delhi, Deputy - GM (Internet), Deepak Sharma said it was not hacking but 'denial of service attack' under which the server is unable to provide services to the customers.

"The changes are being made and the website will be fully operational within the next 24 hours," Sharma told PTI.
A post on the Anonymous Operation India web page claimed responsibility for the hacking saying "we are against Internet Censorship. Instead of blocking few URLs, the ISP (MTNL) blocked the whole domain of various file sharing websites."
It has also asked netizens to wear 'Guy Fawkes' masks, which have become synonymous with Occupy Wall Street protests, during a fresh round of peaceful protests to be held on June 9.

A car driven by your smart phone!

Imagine a world where you could sit back and let your car do the driving? A world where all you need is a smartphone to drive you to work sounds just perfect, doesn't it? Four students of Lovely Professional University, Punjab, have taken a step closer into making this dream a reality by successfully designing a car that can be controlled through a mobile phone!

Bikas Kant, a member of the team explains how it all started. "It was during our engineering course that we came up with the idea.

For over two years, we tested our concept on small robots. We then decided to put it to practice on visitors' golf cart at our school. We took it apart and after a detailed circuit study, we reconfigured it. We added sensors; front and back cameras and also remote-controlled the functioning of the brakes, steering and acceleration. And that's how a desi remote controlled car was born!" Kant and his team members successfully tested the car for over 1000 km with provisions like child-lock on auto mode.

"Such experiments are being conducted in the West but in India, we are the first ones to indigenously develop a successful mobile controlled car."

The front and back cameras of the car allows users to live-stream videos even at night.After having achieved remote control through an android operated mobile, the team is looking to develop the application on other platforms too. Another interesting feature which the team has started work on, is letting the car do the decision making.What this means is that, once the users feed in their destination, the car, aided by the Global Positioning System (GPS), will choose the shortest navigable route reach the place!

"The car uses image processing and artificial intelligence gathered from various sensors to navigate through roadblocks like traffic, and other objects. As a computer is far more precise and subject to fewer errors than humans, accident rates may reduce when these vehicles arrive on the road!" says a proud Kant.

While the experiment has been successful on an electric engine operated car, this technology can possibly also be used on petrol and diesel variant cars. "The car will come in handy for the physically challenged because as long as you can operate your mobile phone, you can drive!" says Kant, while talking about the many applications of his team's innovation.

So how about your car drops your guests to the railway station while you chill on your couch?
