Bootable virus scanners supporting ntfs

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/09

I was looking for a bootable virus scanner supporting NTFS. Kaspersky was the first one I found, and it worked well.

Back then, these were the output locations:

The HTTP link can be convenient for locations that do not support TLS (cough, VMware ESXi wget, cough), which are OK if you calculate the sha256 hash from the TLS link first.

Likely there is a 2020 version by now.

I got the links via:

I might try BitDefender later.

OpenCandy – Wikipedia

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/06

Hmm, one of my machines contained OpenCandy – Wikipedia as found by Malwarebytes (software) – Wikipedia:

Tracking back the installation, revealed it came with ImgBurn 2.5.8.0, which is now on my black-list.

In my case this was how to remove it:

rd /s /q %AppData%\OpenCandy

This is not universal; you might need to take additional measures like in [WayBack] How to Remove PUP.Optional.OpenCandy (Removal Guide).

I use this batch-file to get the most recent Malwarebytes and Chameleon:

get-malware-bytes.bat 

:: redirects to something like wget https://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com/web/mb3-setup-consumer/mb3-setup-consumer-3.6.1.2711-1.0.508-1.0.8211.exe
wget --content-disposition https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb3/
:: redirects to something like wget https://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com/web/mbam-chameleon-3.1.33.0.zip
wget --content-disposition https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/chameleon/

If you do not have wget on your system, then try this PowerShell alternative (which does not show progress) via [WayBack] Windows batch file file download from a URL – Stack Overflow

:: in case you do not have wget:
powershell -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb3/', 'mb3.exe')"
powershell -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/chameleon/', 'chameleon.exe')"
:: note these do not show progress!
:: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4619088/windows-batch-file-file-download-from-a-url

het verbindingsboogje en de punt achter de noot – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/06

Omdat ik laatst iemand hielp met het lezen van noten en het bepalen van lengte, wat linkjes en een video.

Mijn eigen ezelsbruggetje is altijd een patroon van 2/# wat 3/# wordt:

  1. hele noot (4/4 of 2/2) wordt 3/2 of 6/4
  2. halve noot (2/4 of 1/2) wordt 3/4
  3. kwart noot (1/4 of 2/8) wordt 3/8
  4. achtste noot (1/8 of 2/16) wordt 3/16
  5. zestiende noot (1/16 of 2/32) wordt 3/32

Ooit maak ik daar een mooi plaatje van, als ik een on-line plek heb gevonden waar ik noten kan schrijven zonder te hoeven inloggen. Dit hielp niet echt: [WayBack] Best music notation software: online, offline, apps and everything else – Creative Music Education of [Archive.is] What is the best free online music notation software? – Quora

Ik ben wat verward over de @WoonVeilig site. https://t.co/ui8agTkgM9 heeft het bijvoorbeeld over GATE-03 en GATE-02, maar https://t.co/QswkrlsuZY over ALARM-03 en SMARTHOME-01. Ook heeft SMARTHOME-01 meer accessoires dan ALARM-03. Werken die extra (zoals CO-25) niet op ALARM-03?”
