Use Hamachi on Mac Snow Leopard



I was trying to find how to connect to Hamachi using a Mac, and found an excellent guide: http://www.command-tab.com/2008/08/29/how-to-run-hamachi-on-leopard/. I am using the Snow Leopard OSX, so this shows that the Hamachi can still be run on the Mac. Although it is not pretty.

Just a few tips, if you still encounter some problem with the guide (like me).
  • Stuck at the sudo ./usr/sbin/tuncfg part? No fear! Just type "sudo" and space, then drag the tuncfg.exe file into the terminal. It can be found in your hamachi file -> tuncfg file
  • Playing LAN Game and still can't connect with your friends even though you are already inside the network? Try the "hamachi go-online (insert your network)" command a few times.
Cheers

HTC HD7 vs Desire HD

Cashgopher isn't that innocent after all

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz346/EyeStabber/cashgopher.jpgI noticed some problems with blogger and wordpress when some weird geoads script keep appearing in my post, even though I didn't put them in! This slows down my blog tremendously. After some research, I discovered that Cashgopher is the one at fault.

Below is the site that explains it.

From http://klickjobs.biz/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=266&func=view&catid=48&id=948 

Hello,
here are some experiences from us and some other informations about Cash Gopher
collected from the internet/forums/blogs.

1) We all know you must install the CashGopher software to use it and to login.
2) It is not really clear what the software is doing but we saw a connection to geoads.com
(geoads is something like AdHitz or InfoLinks)
3) The software installs in addition and automatically and without permition a FireFox Addon
This AddOn "overwrites" Ad banners like from AdHitz or BidVertiser with its own Ads.
It replaces the Ads with its own ads when you surf with FireFox that you will not see the
actual advertisements from the site you visit. It shows you the GeoAds ads.
4) Furthermore: We have a "Vslave Computer" here, or also called "VirusSlave".
This is a computer we only use for testing sites or software which might be infected by trojans
or viruses. We install software on this PC and we check what the software is doing.
We also enable and disable our Virus Protections and/or Firewalls to test if something will happen.
There is also a FTP program installed on this computer in order to test if some tools will
install a "js.Frame Trojan" on your ftp to infect your website (FTP) with a virus which adds
automatically java codes to your html pages to show and overwrite other ads than you have installed.

Well, we guess that the CashGopher software is doing this. (pls check all pictures below!)
After installing and running the CashGopher software nothing strange happens, but after a while
we noticed some strange things.
1) Any site we visit opens other ads and geo-targeted ads (in our language) at the same place where
the AdHitz ads or InfoLinks ads were. Very often they break also the website template.
2) We had a sneaking suspicion that this is caused by the CashGopher software, so we took a closer
look. We disabled the Virus Detection and FireWall on the "VSlave", we visited some sites and the
status bar from FireFox (the bottom of the browser) shows us "waiting for CashGopher...".
Then a new tab opens where the status bar shows "waiting for GeoAds.com..." then some advertisments
appear.
I think the software collides with other javascript Ad banners or its the intention of this software
to overwrite the ads to show its own ads. THIS IS ILLEGAL AND A FRAUD!
3) Then we tested the "FTP Infection" on our "VSlave" and this confirmed our suspicion.
As you can see in the picture below there is a javascript code added to the html which is not from us!
We never added this code and we don't use GeoAds.
At this moment the CashGopher software is running.
We removed the code, saved the html and refreshed the page. Our AdHitz ads were displaced by GeoAds ads.
We looked at the html code and the javascript code is back! There is no chance to delete it!
It's a virus with an implemented trojan on our "VSlave" which has access to our FTP flies right in the
moment when we're logged in our FTP!
Then we de-installed the CashGopher software AND the FireFox AddOn.
We started searching with "Kaspersky Business Space Security" and it found a Trojan
called "java.Agent.xx" and "Exploit.java.Agent" - we removed it successfully.

We re-started the "VSlave" PC.
We opened again the html, deleted the GeoAds code, saved it, refreshed the page.
All is working fine. No replacement of our ads, no other ads on other websites.
No re-direction to geoads.com.
2nd check with Kaspersky: System is clean - FTP is clean.

Conclusion:
We must assume that the CashGopher software installs some more things on the computer and its
very well coded to infect also FTP clients. This is a forbidden and illegal method to infect
the whole FTP/website to show ads and to do other things.
It can also spy out a complete database with usernames, emails and passwords.
Again: "IT CAN!" I don't say that the CashGopher is doing this but for us its clear that the
FireFox AddOn replaces other advertisements and that it encroaches deeply into the system.



Here are some picture proofs:

CashGopher FireFox Add-On:



GeoAds replaces other ads and added more Mouse-Over ads to websites:



FTP/html code from GeoAds added (FTP infection from "java.Agent.xx"):

"First I notice it will added in to FireFox as add-on extension.

Complaints and issues!



We sent several support tickets to the CashGopher support regarding these problems but we got no
answer yet.
We sent also some questions about some issues in the Account settings because they won't be saved.
So, we cannot add our paypal email or other things. We got no answers yet.
We earned $0.02 within 5 days. Not much, the software was running more than 50 hours.

Finally:
We deinstalled the CashGopher software and we cannot recommend it.
It is not clear what it is doing exactly, the earnings are very low and there are strange things going on.
We highly recommended to keep an eye on this software (and on the computer where it's installed)
and we suggest the myLot team to check if their software is working correctly.

Do nothing earn money? Dream come true?



When I first saw this, I thought 'scam'. But then I saw the myLot logo, which I am currently using and I do trust myLot. But of course after some researching, it seems that US users will earn the most money, while people from other country will earn less.

In short, Cashgopher replaces advertisements on certain websites with their own. Thus, you are getting paid to view their advertisements. An example below.

PES Sound File Converter 1.8 Download


This cool software can convert WAV/MP3/ADX/AIX into WAV/MP3/ADX/AIX. The key format would be ADX, as you need to convert your music files into ADX before you can use them in PES. Find out how to put your own songs here.

Just 1 point to note:
  • There is a very irritating bug with the converter. You have to put the place of the music file to convert with less than 60 characters. So, just place the music on the desktop and convert from there. If not, you will get this error: long path, file skipped!

    Contacts from Window Messenger and Hotmail gone!

    Worst thing that has happened to me. Fortunately, I have found the solution:

    Contacts are missing in Hotmail Address Book and from Windows Live Messenger contact list is due to any of the following reasons:

    TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:

    Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger shares the same Address Book. If contacts are removed from the Hotmail address book, then contacts will also be deleted from the Windows Live Messenger contact list.

    # The impacted Email Address (please note that the email address that you post will be only visible to moderators and not to public)
    # Any three sample contacts that were deleted or missing. A moderator will verify the request and recover as many deleted contacts as possible and mail them to your email address.

     2. For missing contacts in Windows Live Messenger, follow the instructions below to retrieve back your Windows Live Messenger contact list
    a. Sign in to Windows Live Messenger.
    b. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Privacy
    Note: Press Alt on keyboard if Tools menu is missing on main Messenger window.
    c. Select the contact from the Allow or Block list
    d. Right-click the contact, and then click Add to contacts (to move the contact back to the contact list).
    e. If the contact is on the Block list, select the contact then click on Allow button. Right-click the contact again, and then click Add to contacts (to move the contact back to the contact list).
    f. Click OK
    g. Sign out and sign back in to Windows Live Messenger and verify if your contacts are already on Messenger contact list.
     3. To prevent this issue from happening again, please change your password, alternate email and secret question and answer. To do this, follow the instructions below. 
    a. Visit http://account.live.com and sign in using her email account and password.
    b. Under Password Reset Information, click Change on the following:

                                  1. Password
                                  2. Question
                                 3. Alternate e-mail
    c. Click Save.

    Have I finally found a way to earn passive income online?

    http://www.triond.com/rw/197999
    Ever since the August promotion on Triond which promises 10% boost in Triond income for the month of August if you post 5 or more articles, I tried to crack my brain and think of 5 articles to write. I have been rather stagnant in Triond and has only been able to cash out once. Which is of course, quite an achievement for me! Other than pixprofit, I have never been able to cashout my income.

    I do think that the August promotion is very cool. After all, a site like Triond needs new content everyday to survive. Such a promotion can encourage lazy users like me to write some stuff and submit. As a result, I have been earning quite abit this month and will be able to cashout for the second time! Hopefully my articles will allow me to earn more passive incomes for the time to come.

    Come and join Triond now!
