Yeah, if you use anything less than a 16" (or something that totals at least 16") bbl on anything that isnt registered a pistol, or a NFA registered full auto, you can get into big-time trouble with the federales. And if something was registered as a pistol, having a shoulder stock on it as a big no-no too, unless it is also registered as a NFA machine pistol. I dunno how much you budget into firearms, but if you plan on getting into the NFA scene, be prepared to spend a LOT! Some examples....
M-16 A1 (full auto) about $16,500.00
M-16 A2 (semi and 3round burst) about $18,000.00
LM&T M-203 (registered Destructive Device 40mm Grenade Launcher) $1,600.00
IMI Uzi (full auto machine pistol with shoulder stock) around $8,800.00
FN M-249 SAW/MiniMi (Belt-fed full auto machine gun) $75,000.00 (no, thats NOT a typo!)
and the big one....
FN M-240 B (belt-fed full auto machine gun) $120,000.00+ !
Those prices to not reflect sales tax, paperwork, and the mandatory $200.00 transfer fee.

I realized there wasn't an error, it just decided not to do anything with the files. I've decided to delete them manually, which is surprisingly not taking as long as expected. Taking a break, though. Save for the 167 viruses found in different areas, those 50454 threats all come from a folder marked "/_/" in the Shared folder, and appear to all be pirated software, movies, and video games.
This is ridiculous. What odd virus does nothing more than cause the download of tens of thousands of pirated files?

Holy crap! Man, I have no idea where to dump something like that either. I suppose if you don't have any important files on there (Which I doubt.) you could take it off to a local computer place to have it wiped...but I don't think you want to do that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.ravaged_warrior wrote:And it failed... At around 50000. I don't know what to do to get rid of what it found... This sucks.

Don't worry, I got it. I found the folder and have been manually deleting it. Pain in the a** since there's so many, but it's working out pretty well. Besides, the viruses that were really doing harm to my computer have been taken care of. I can access the task manager, access the command prompt, and install games off of CDs now! I'm very happy. But damn... 1/4 of the scanned files were those viruses in the hidden /_/ folder.

I'd still be worried about having viruses on your computer. For all you know, all they are doing is downloading warez to some folder. I have a suspicious feeling that your computer was a part of a p2p botnet. Simply erasing a folder shouldn't cure the problem, just alleviate the symptoms. Viruses are also more than just for trashing your computer. If there ever is an intrusion, there is the potential a virus can obtain your personal data stored on your computer.ravaged_warrior wrote:Don't worry, I got it.

I highly recommend a re-installation of the operating system and then a lock-down of system resources before using the internet to patch security holes. Don't set up any internet connection until after you have secured your operating system! *very important*
For some nice reading on how you can take control of your operating system, have a look at 70-270: MCSE Guide to Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Second Edition, Enhanced by Ted Simpson, Stanley Reimer, and Martin Keding.
http://www.course.com/catalog/product.c ... 19-21751-8
I can't tell you the number of instances this book helped me out in real life. This book helped me rule all the Windows Xp computers with an Iron Fist. And so far, I've been hearing no trouble from my family member's whom I've set up their computers with. It's a great read. And if you feel confident, the cd that comes with the book gives you a practice Microsoft certification test.
I guess I've spoke too much. I hope I've helped tho.

Unfortunately, I don't have the reinstallation CD... And if I did, I have too many important files on here that I wouldn't want to lose. However, we've been talking about scrapping this computer in the next year, so maybe I could do something then.
Really, though, you'd be surprised at how far this piece of crap has come since last night's virus scan. Mostly the task manager, command prompt, and installing programs off of CDs, but those are important!

Darkest Wolf - Just because I spend years with learning the intricacies of IT Security doesn't make my word "the" word. You have something nice to say, please speak up! I don't bite.
Ravaged Warrior - That is unfortunate that you do not have a re installation disk. If you do need a disaster recovery tool, it might interest you to create a Linux Live cd. These are full fledged operating systems that run off of a cd (they don't need to be installed onto a hard drive to work). Linux Live cds can access your hard drive so that you can recover data in the event that your operating system is no longer usable. They also contain some useful tools such as cd/dvd burning software so you can back up the data before you decide to wipe it clean.
My favorite Linux Live cd distribution happens to be Wolvix, a wolf themed Linux distro. http://wolvix.org/ I'm sure that you'd like it too when given the time to play around with it.
In the meantime, get yourself a new user-level account on that computer. Also, feel free to talk this out via, AIM. I might answer you when I'm on.

I actually have a Yoper CD that supports Live CD usage. However, I don't know how to set it up so that it accesses existing files. I created it when I was toying around with the idea of getting a different Linux OS (my own, non-shared personal computer is an Ark Linux, which is great, and has the exact same desktop setup as Yoper, but for some reason would not support my graphics card... hilariously enough, the Ark Linux forum hates Windows with a vengeance, despite the obvious Windows knockoff desktop). It wouldn't install correctly, though, so if I chose to use Yoper, I'd be stuck with a purely Live CD version.psiguy wrote:Darkest Wolf - Just because I spend years with learning the intricacies of IT Security doesn't make my word "the" word.

Unfortunately (damn it, another one!), I don't know if my mom has her password for this XP, so a new user account would be a bad idea, methinks... And for now, I'm not sure how a Live CD could be useful to me... Could you elaborate?
As for Wolvix, I must say the idea of it intrigues me, especially since it caters to a very singular audience. Looks very similar to the Mac desktop, though, which I never liked. I always liked having a Start/K Menu. Also, I'm not sure I want to risk another CD to an OS disk that might not work. Yoper was one of the many that failed. It wasn't the download that was bad, I don't think, but the computer I've been using... My dad took special care to buy it on the cheap, even passing up an obviously supremely superior computer to it because it cost about forty dollars more.
Finally, I have good news about my computer's current state: Though I haven't finished getting rid of that awful /_/ directory, my computer, after a while of semi-suck, has finally cleaned up it's act. Earlier there were some hiccups, but it's much better this evening. Anyway, I'm in a good mood now because of this and because this is just another in a series of events of my computer problems looking up, which started with my realization that Linux might be the way to go, seemed to be hindering when my graphics card couldn't work at it's peak with my Linux, looked up again with the realization that my dad's computer, bad as it is, could technically run 3D games fairly okay, and keeps looking up since then. God, as much as I hate summer, I f*** love summer vacation.
Thank you for your help so far, psiguy. If I have more computer trouble, I'll ask you... That is, if that's fine with you.
And maybe you, too, darkest_wolf, unless you say otherwise.

Neither am I, but from what I've seen out of my Ark Linux, it's worth chuggin' along at my pace...

On wolvix, hard drives are automatically mounted. Their contents can be located in the directory "/mnt/hd*#" where * stands for the letter a-z and # represents a number. It's unfortunately more technical than accessing the contents of the hard drive like "C:", but I guess that's how it is done in the UNIX world.ravaged_warrior wrote:I actually have a Yoper CD that supports Live CD usage.

I am not amused. Most of us Linux folks take on a "holier-than-thou" attitude. I must be one of the unholy ones.ravaged_warrior wrote:I created it when I was toying around with the idea of getting a different Linux OS ...... hilariously enough, the Ark Linux forum hates Windows with a vengeance, despite the obvious Windows knockoff desktop
My desktop operating system is called Ubuntu. http://www.ubuntu.com/
Since you enjoy the kde environment, my recommendation would be to use Kubuntu. http://www.kubuntu.org/
Both are live cd operating systems so you can try it out and make up your mind. I find that Ubuntu plays nice with my hardware (especially my wireless card). Things like 3d card drivers should be less of a hassle to install as it can be done graphically w/o a command line.
As for wolvix, I recommend that as a back-up live cd so you can move your data off the hard drive and onto some other form of media before wiping that disk clean. I find it better as a tool instead of a user-friendly windows replacement.

Please use responsibly. I'm only showing you this because I believe that you'd only use this to increase the security of your computer, not exploit it.
If I were to explain the uses of a live cd, I might take a whole page or so.ravaged_warrior wrote:methinks... And for now, I'm not sure how a Live CD could be useful to me... Could you elaborate?
This should quench your thirst of knowledge just fine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCD
I was initially thrown off by the design of gnome and xfce. I've grown to like their design, but that doesn't mean you have to. I'll keep in mind that you prefer kde. I'm no expert at the kde environment, but if I find something with kde that you might be interested in, I'll point you in that direction.ravaged_warrior wrote:As for Wolvix, I must say the idea of it intrigues me, especially since it caters to a very singular audience.

I just hope that the only thing the virus is doing is sucking up resources. I'd be #%#$%'n pissed to know that my confidential data is being leaked to someone else around the world. Information is something that you can have and yet give away. And when you give away information, it is not like you can take it back and let the other person un-know the stuff you gave them. Life doesn't work that way.ravaged_warrior wrote:Finally, I have good news about my computer's current state: Though I haven't finished getting rid of that awful /_/ directory, my computer, after a while of semi-suck, has finally cleaned up it's act.

Let's hope they don't have anything personal. According to all of the dates on the files (even the newer ones, like Are We Done Yet), this little operation has been going on since March of last year. If there was anything to get (which wouldn't be much, really), it's gotten.
And Kubuntu sounds interesting. You say it'll work with a wireless card? I won't need the installation CD for the card, will I? I'm afraid my dad has lost it and hasn't really gone to great lengths to find it. Which would be fine, I could find it myself, but it's almost definitely in his room, which he doesn't let me in.
I'll try this Kubuntu thing out... It doesn't look any different than Ark Linux, but then again, neither did Crackdown in comparison to GTA.
