Oh my… these day thunder storm is getting heavier and stronger. I thought i will be saved after installing the Belkin SurgeMaster Surge Protector where i just bought on last sunday but sad to said that my new all in 1 modem router spoiled.
I’m installing a HP ML 370 G5 server with Windows 2003 R2 SP2 and the server upgraded to 4 GB memory. After done all the installation and updates, i check the system memory and on the “General” tab only display 3.25 GB memory.
I wonder where does the rest goes? So i dig in google.com and search for solution then i found out that we need to enable the PAE (Physical Address Extension) option on the boot.ini file.
WINDOWS=”Windows Server 2003, Standard” /PAE /noexecute=optout /fastdetect
You just need to add in the “/PAE” portion to your existing boot.ini file and reboot your server then you can see the full physical memory size display on the “General” tab.

I’ve been looking around ways to auto start my Linux router about few year back when I was using the VMware with Linux as my router. Its been a problem for me to manually start the VMware guest OS after I have waited the host machine to be started then only I can use. That time i’m looking way to auto start it but seem can’t, and lately I’ve downloaded the VMware Server edition and it has the feature to auto start the guest OS when the host machine start.
This is my first post of year 2008, and when i just log in to the site admin it ask for version upgrade after sometimes didn’t update my blog as too busy with my relative wedding. So I just updated my blog to version 2.3.2 where there is some security issue on the current version.
WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Get 2.3.2 now to protect your blog from these disclosures.
As a little bonus, 2.3.2 allows you to define a custom DB error page. Place your custom template at wp-content/db-error.php. If WP has a problem connecting to your database, this page will displayed rather than the default error message.
For more detail on what’s new in 2.3.2, view the list of fixed bugs and see the changes between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.
Special thanks to Alex Concha for his help on this release.

Today one of my customer PC infected lot of spyware and most of it can be removed using spyware doctor as this software is really pro in cleaning spyware. The system is extremely slow and the system keep popping up those advertisement pop-up on the screen plus the task bar there have an icon displaying info box said “your computer is infected with a lot of spyware and download this software to clean your pc” but the program itself is a spyware… so nice it.
I check the task manager to see any unknown program running beside those normal program that we seen running on win XP, then i spotted 2 misc program running called “icthis.exe” and “icmnrt.exe”. It does not look familiar to a clean system, so i do a Google search to find what is this little program do and it come out is a trojan/backdoor program then i find for solution to clean/remove it from the system since spyware doctor doesn’t get rid of it.
Get into techguy forum where someone had request for a solution to get rid of the program and one of the Distinguished Member have solution for it and it really works with very simple steps written there. The following is the guide that i copy out for reference:-
You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.
Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
- Restart your computer
- After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
- Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
- Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press “Enter”.
- Choose your usual account.
Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press “Enter” to delete infected files.You will be prompted: “Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry?”; answer “Yes” by typing Y and press “Enter” in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.
The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer “Yes” by typing Y and press “Enter”.
The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn’t, please restart it into Normal Windows.
A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
Warning: running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.
