Remove Antivirus 2008, Antivirus 2008 Internet Explorer
Remove Antivirus 2008, this is a fake program that infects your computer causing it to go extremely slow. Its a trojan, and it comes in by Internet Explorer as a fake update. Its very annoying, but here's how to get rid of it.
Okay to fix this here is how, I spent 5 hours on it.
Get "Malware Bytes" (it’s free) and do a quick system scan and you’ll have about 7 or more viruses. Then once you reboot to clear other viruses it will keep going slow again, scan again and reboot again. Also get “Process Explorer” to see if any weird system processes are running (PE is better than Task Manager). You should be good after that but use firefox not IE7, I am still solving how to fix IE7 which keeps getting the infection.
The infection will create a file with about 8-12 random characters in your Windows/System32 folder. It will come up when you scan with Malware Bytes, that is the file that keep's relaunching itself once it's erased, so if Malware doesn't erase it after 2 reboots and 2 scans go to the far right tab in Malware Bytes to use FileASSASIN and forcibly remove the file and reboot.
Here is what my scan returned:
NOTE: Your file names will be differently named, so don't look for them the same as mine, scan your own or you wont find them!

Real Mario 3D Face
I found this picture of Super Mario in 3D and it was a bit scary! It's weird seeing a person that looks real with huge eyes like this haha.
It looks like he's aged quite a bit! How old is Mario anyways?
Look at how much Mario has aged, it appears he's getting wrinkles, He's not even 30 years old yet is he??
For the icing on the cake here is the evolution of a few more video game legends!

I’m Tired of Turn-Key Sites
If you spend anytime looking for something free on Google you'll find it, but you'll also find about 100 copy cat sites with the same mediocre content. MySpace layout sites are a dime a dozen with almost no unique content from the others. Wordpress themes are all over, and free icons are too. I find it rather irritating.
Why are people doing this? Only to make money off ads. It's clever, but if some of these sites need original content. If you do a simple search for MySpace Layout you'll be cluttered with 100's of domain names and titles trying to get to the top with the right keyword weight on the main page.
The worry is that the entire web will be filled with duplicate content, afterall google only scans content. Eventually when you develop some free things for faithful fans on your site it could get turned distributed among these free ad farms only to make your work come to no return, unless you are linked in.
I guess the question is when will it be too much? Free Icons, Free Templates, Free Graphics. There is going to have to be some serious developers who can create unique websites before everything becomes too easy and free.
It seems the mess of all these sites started once social networking became large. I think it's getting messy and I really hope it gets cleaned up but I see no way of cycling through artwork and files.
Twitter Needs Ads
Twitter is a large social networking site that serves a very small purpose, keep track of friends on what they are doing. To me it's a suprise that so many people use twitter while Facebook has so much more.
Twitter is a Page Rank 8 site, Alexa Rank of 669, with 50% of users are in USA. with over 1.2 million users a month. At some point I would think Twitter will start placing a few ads on their site, as of now they have none.
If they simply put AdSense on Twitter they could make atleast $100,000 a month with those type of statistics and smart ad placement. The question is will they, and when? I'm sure they've thought about it but who's paying for the hosting out of their own pocket?
