My computer was infected by a virus called, Live Security Platinum. After boot into Windows, suddenly a window that looks like an “antivirus” appeared at the center of the screen.
I’m not sure how and when did this “antivirus” get into my computer, but it is clearly not an antivirus.
Here is the screenshot of the virus window.
It can be really annoying if your computer keeps shutting down frequently. And it can be even more disturbing when you are working on something important.

You just created a Skype account then after awhile you feel the account you’ve created is not good and you don’t want to use it anymore. You want to delete the Skype account permanently but you don’t know how. Even from the community forum itself does not help very much.
Actually, the moment you create Skype account, you cannot deactivate, delete, cancel or change your usernames to something else. The only thing that you can do is abandon the account. Yes, really. Just leave the account and create another one because it allows you to create as many accounts as you want.
However, although you cannot delete your Skype account, Skype allows users to remove all your personal information contained in your profile, such as your full name, email address, or phone number. So when people searching you in Skype using your personal information, (ie: full name) he will not be able to find you unless if he using your Skype name as the keyword search.
Last two weeks, when I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to open up the Task Manager, suddenly this error message appeared on the screen,
Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator.
It was weird because I am the administrator of the computer and I didn’t disable it but how come it says the Task Manager has been disabled by me, the admin?
First thing came to my mind was, it most probably the computer has been infected by a virus and the virus has modified the registry keys, disabled the Task Manager.

Gulp!? A company in China, “Cakebar Investments co. Ltd” want to use one of my domain (in this article is “awesomename”) as their branding. And they also want to purchase the other available domain names, .asia, .cn, etc and put them into their network brand.
