Kaspersky was happy to tell me that it detected a virus that it can't do anything about and windows rebooted midscan. Spybot and AdAware couldn't get rid of this thing either. Ran in safemode, file deleted on reboot, file back again. Strangely, couldn't find the filename in the registry. Ran HijackThis and it showed 2 weird entries for qxwtawj.dll.
Solution, at least worked so far, is to boot into ubuntu, rename both files to .bak, not sure if qxwtawj is a virus or not and can't find anything on google so remained it instead of deleting. Booted into windows, no alerts from kaspersky and xaaykvjr has not reappeared.
In the registry, qxwtawj appears under winlogon in uiphazue and another location. I wasn't able to delete either entry even using regassassin and regseeker. Finally got rid of the winlogon entry by running ComboFix. You can get it here, here, or here.

Fraud phone numbers
Just got a call from 829-322-2967. Several calls with the person hanging up if I picked up.
If you get a call from this number, do not call back. The number is a 900 pay per minute number and when you call back the scammer will try to keep you on the line as long as possible.
Here's a list of fraud/spam numbers that will either try to get you to call back or will tell you you won something and they need to charge you for shipping:
- 829-322-2967 - pay per minute
- 770-308-4054 - tries to get your credit card number
- 777-555-2254 - tries to get your credit card number

Recently I got an idea to write a post about one of my credit cards and maybe earn some money with it. I used the bank's internal messaging system to ask them if they have an affiliate program.
This is the message I got in response:
Are you #$%@ kidding me?! Affiliate and affiliated is not the same word you moron! If you don't know something, google it instead of sending back some retarded response.
Am I gonna call and complain? I plan too. Then again I'm reaaaaaally lazy. But I am planning to...

MySQL - ON DUPLICATE KEY
I was adding bridal registry functionality to CartWeaver 3 and was wondering if MySQL, the site is running on ColdFusion with MySQL, has something similar to T-SQL's MERGE. Not only does it have, but the code looks a lot more elegant. One thing to remember though, is that you must set cart/registry user id + sku/product id as UNIQUE.
Here's how this works. You do your regular insert and at the end add a ON DUPLICATE KEY:
INSERT INTO tbl_registryproducts(reguserid, skuid, qty)
VALUES(#session.reguserid#,#form.skuid#,#form.qty#)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE qty = qty + #form.qty#
VALUES(#session.reguserid#,#form.skuid#,#form.qty#)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE qty = qty + #form.qty#
That's it. One line and you're done. And yes, I know I should be using cfqueryparam, but that would make this example a lot longer and a lot less readable.

Ban #23940 - Biblical names
It is assur to give your children names from Torah because goyim do it too. You should only give your children Yiddish names, otherwise they'll go off the derech and intermarry with goyim with biblical names whom they will find on FaceBook.
