Upon my submission, Microsoft confirmed that this is a new variant of Trojan, but you'll have to update virus definitions manually if you are using Microsoft Security Essentials. Check the frontpage article for more information.

I guess I'm buying the Antec P183 tomorrow. Will let you know my experience with it. LZR, that V9 Thermaltake doesn't have such a good reviews Apparently its build materials aren't very good.

Check comments on the frontpage article. See, how people can easily open this type of attachments.

If you're smart and doing regular backups of your important data, you're probably won't need it, but I had a disaster and couldn't restore data from faulty RAID disks. From that time, I'm having regular backups and I don't trust disks one bit

I've received several suspicious e-mails in the last couple of days, so I've decided to check the contents of the attached .zip file and without a surprise, there was an .exe file in it. What is not good, is the fact that neither Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus nor Eset Nod32 wasn't able to detect it once I've scanned the file. At least Microsoft Outlook mail scanner marked this mail as spam. So I wasn't entirely unprotected The bogus message subject is something like this: Subject: UPS Tracking Number 8279775. Sender: UPS Manager Ramona Mock parcel@ups.com Here's the subject of the mail: Dear customer! The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.<br itxtvisited="1">Cause: Error in shipping address. You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly! Please attention!<br itxtvisited="1">The shipping label is attached to this e-mail. <br itxtvisited="1">Please print this label to get this package at our post office. Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox. Thank you.<br itxtvisited="1">United Parcel Service.<br itxtvisited="1">The attachment actually contains a virus which may infect the user's computer. When I googled for more information on this virus, I've found out that similar virus was released almost 2 years ago, so apparently this is a new variant of it, as AV scanners were unsuccessful in detecting the threat. So far I've tried to detect the threat using 'only' Microsoft Security Essentials and Nod32 antivirus. Here is the warning about UPS virus which was released about 18 months ago. The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS/Fed Ex Service along with a packet number.. It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days. I can't be sure of what damage it can cause to your computer, but I guess it is variant of UPS trojan virus and I can only advise you upon receiving similar mail, to immediately delete it. Update: I have submitted suspicious file to the Microsoft Malware Protection Center (MMPC). I will update this article, as soon as I get more info on this.

I had Maxtor and boy it was loud! Seagate bough Maxtor so this is basically one and the same company now. I have 2 Seagate drives and those are pretty quiet. I can only recommend Seagate to you as I didn't have much experience with WD. Without a doubt, SSD drives are noiseless, but unfortunately still very expensive. Based on this, I'd recommend a Seagate, but we'll see what other people think about this.

Cool! I've seen that most of quality chassis have rubber grommets, but my thermaltake hasn't any.

Haven't thought about it since it is very expensive, especially here in Croatia. To be honest, I have never heard about Lian-Li, but now I've googled and I can tell you I would surely like the PC-A71F model. This is the case I am looking for, but unfortunately Lian-Li isn't available in Croatia. http://lian-li.com/v2/tw/flashpage/a70f&a71f/

One of my friend has recommended this one to me: http://tech-reviews.co.uk/reviews/antec-p183-mid-tower-case/ Any experiences, thoughts on this one?

I especially like this part: LOL

Dear visitors, Due to a recent traffic increase, our site has been successfully migrated to a dedicated server from our current SDX. Along with the site movement, our server IP address has been changed, therefore if you see this message, DNS propagation has been finished on your side. We sincerely hope that 'high load' and 'server busy' issues are behind us. Please write below any feedback you have regarding our new server performance or issues. Thank you for patience, WinCert.net Admin Team.

It is to wide though. I would loose a lot of space with it. I might just sell my PC as I got a pretty decent laptop from my company (Lenovo T500) I can buy port replicator for it and use it easily at home and at work.

What do you guys think about Antec Skeleton. It looks cool and apparently it is very quiet, yet very expensive. http://www.tomshardw...on-torture-rack,2411-2.html I guess you need to have the can of compressed air for everyday use to clean this baby Reviewer also said that EMF is a minus, since it is an open case.

Ok, take care mate. See you soon.

I have had enough of this server. I've sent a request to move to a stronger server as soon as possible, after my site was blamed again for consuming high server resources.

Thans LZR, I'll check some reviews on this one. This big fan should be quiet.

Seller who I've asked for Tagan case, said that he recommends Coolermaster Cosmos, although I don't like the look of it. Besides, it costs $400 here!

I've reported it again, but the tech said he couldn't see the high load on the server. If you notice it, please post a screenshot of the forum including the server load which is in the bottom of every page. Thanks

Thanks Mr_Smartepants, very useful info.

Can you please specify at which time have you get the 'server is busy' messages? Server load seems to be still very high.

Not sure, 150$ maybe, but Croatia is more expensive than USA. I will see if I can order Tagan here.

Happy Birthday Rick! Don't waste yourself today

hey guys, I need the advice on my new PC chassis which I plan to buy. I am currently using Thermaltake Kandalf and it is a bit too loud for me, although it has very good cooling features and cool looks, so I would sell it and by something else. - I need a chassis to be as silent as possible. - Simple look, nothing shinny, flashy, colorful or gamer one - Not to be too expensive. Actually, I need something like this http://www.bjorn3d.c...ad.php?cID=1117 I really like this Tagan chassis, but unfortunately it isn't available in my country. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Dear visitors, we are informing you about some upcoming scheduledmaintenance. We are going to be taking our server down for some time toreplace failed disks and preform a few diagnostics regarding our issues we've been experiencing lately. We will be starting this at approximately 20:00 CST and expect the server tobe offline until approximately 21:00 CST. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
