OT Why you need Process Explorer

Did you ever figure out what exactly it was doing?
No. I caught my mistake almost immediately after making it, and killed the
process. About an hour later, Kaspersky found the file and deleted it
I was careless. But I'dordered an item from Costco Photo, and this looked like
a status message. My mistake was not paying attention to the sender -- who was
in Italy.
It never hurts to be overly suspicious. This was the first time something got
through in over a decade. I have been warned.
Oh... handy trick... I was badly attacked back in 2004. The attack included
malware that reinstalled itself at each restart. It occurred to me that if I
changed the files' permissions to be executed or rewritten, a lot of problems
would be solved. And they were. You don't need to remove a file -- just keep
it from running or being replaced with a newer version.
I got an E-mail the other day from who claim to be a company of Amazon,
"Audible.com", it was short and brief and the hot link they gave me spit
out a URL that had nothing at all to do with Amazon or anything to do
with any one selling something. It look more like some hooky location.
