When I go to Web Development Discussion Community and scroll down to the post titled "What skills do you need to become a good web developer?", I see in the post snippit
Hi, I'm Olivia, 16 years old and I guess I've always been a bit geeky. ~snip~
If I open the post I see
Hi, I'm Kavin, I guess I've always been a bit geeky. ~snip~

Why is there a difference?

I think it would be more appealing if it were written in the first person - or at least the opening spiel. :)

I've also seen many times where a newbie will mark their own new thread solved because they don't realize what the button means.

I think sometimes they're just seeing if they can rort the reputation system.

I miss that I don't miss anything about it.

A poor attempt at spam with definite need for a spellchecker.
What's an energy suplayer? A high voltage hip chicken?

If I'm reading your mind correctly, remove the frame that's redirecting to ***.i.illuminationes.com. The obfuscated code repeats 4 times.

Lelelele, it would be preferable if you started a new thread rather than resurrect a prehistoric thread.
You also need to explain in more detail what problems you are having with your PC, what browser you're using and anything else of relevance.

Sam Burgess needs to come back to the Australia's NRL and hook up with the Rabbitohs. That way my wife will be happy and I'll maintain my sanity - well at least some of it.

Dave,

That's great news and thanks for the feedback. :)

In that case, which program listed in the log is old and vulnerable to exploits?

Some things say "NetworkServiceNetworkRestricted" or "LocalServiceAndNoImpersonation" does this mean the internet is not connecting?

No, they are basically just service categories, each instance of svchost.exe will be running 1 or more services. For example:

NetworkServiceNetworkRestricted
Commandline: C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k NetworkServiceNetworkRestricted
Services:
    PolicyAgent IPsec Policy Agent          C:\Windows\System32\ipsecsvc.dll


LocalServiceNoNetwork
Commandline: C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNoNetwork
Services:
    BFE         Base Filtering Engine       C:\Windows\system32\bfe.dll
    DPS         Diagnostic Policy Service   C:\Windows\system32\dps.dll
    MpsSvc      Windows Firewall            C:\Windows\system32\mpssvc.dll

spoolsv.exe is just the print spooler.

What problem does your computer have?
The DDS log shows nothing of concern.

It would be worthwhile slipstreaming service pack 3 into your installation disk. The guide here is comprehensive and relatively easy to follow.

If you like, I can get you to run SystemLook to see if the correct copy of the problem files is stored anywhere on your computer. Let me know if you wish to pursue this.

I'd recommend also running AdwCleaner (click the Download Now @ BleepingComputer button.) just to remove any dregs of all the junkware removed.

This article does a decent job of explaining the role of a TPM chip in hardware-based full disk encryption.

It appears that the Eset scan found a lot of PUAs.
Is your installation disk one for XP service pack 3?
Have you tried running SFC from safe mode?

For the print spooler, open notepad and copy/paste the content of the following code box:

Double click and allow it to merge with the registry.
If the merge is successful, reboot the computer and check whether the print spooler is listed in services.

I Installed Windows 7 and happily buried XP. Don't miss it at all.

Scan your system with Eset's online scanner. If Ramnit is detected, repeat the scan until it's no longer detected.

Post back with the results.

It's good to see spammers making use of tags. :S

Move lines 41 to 45 to printIntroMenu()
I gather that the user id and password are both mean't to be positive integers, if that's the case then it seems that the same userid and password variables would be needed by createAccount() and login()
You can pass these variables as pointers if you learned about pointers otherwise define them as global variables (edit: given the function signatures, just use global variables). Initialize them both to a negative integer e.g -1
If login() is selected, test whether userid and password are -1, if they are then the user needs to first create an account. Display a message to indicate this.

In login, have two local variables e.g int temp_id, temp_pass;
take the input into these local variables, then test.

if (temp_id == userid && temp_pass == password)
// if successful login call printMainMenu()

I'm off to bed so I'll leave with the above. Hopefully it points you in the right direction. :)

After their performance against a bumbling Australia, I'm surprised that no one is screaming "Uruguay FTW!"

all you need to do is to fill out the missing code

No, you need to make an honest attempt to fill out the missing code.
No code from you = no help from us.

printf("Please fill in the boilerplate code provided and one of our human code bots may decide to assist you\n");

I'm not sure but I think Dave was the bus driver and Victor ate fish.

I imagine that that is the entire point of the site, to be one giant PIA.

What version of MS Office?
Do you get the error when trying to open a document?
Are you able to launch Word from the Start Menu?

there is wrong, because i can only put one value .. please help

That's because you copy/pasted code that is irrelevant to the question from http://pastebin.com/JQeihwdQ

Yes

Shouldn't line 163 - 167 be:

    std::vector<SwingIdentified>::iterator SwingIter; 
    for (SwingIter= NamedSwings.begin(); SwingIter!=NamedSwings.end(); SwingIter++) 
    {   
        outfile << *SwingIter << std::endl; // <==
    }

The 5 minute data is only valid for the first 10420 bytes.
Thereafter, the data is padded with the following sequence of bytes:

0x09 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x09 0x0D 0x0A

Have a look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394340%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and related example code.

You have too many arguments as indicated. You could use:
transform(theReadMessage.begin(), theReadMessage.end(), theReadMessage.begin(), ::tolower);

Using a lambda:

transform(theReadMessage.begin(), theReadMessage.end(), theReadMessage.begin(), [](char ch)
{
    return tolower(ch);
});

AFAIK, you'll need to include objbase.h and link ole32.lib.

I'm using Dev-Cpp 5.11 TDM-GCC 4.9.2.
What do you think about this?

That's the latest Orwell build, so that should be fine.

Are you using the Orwell fork of Dev-c++?
http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.com.au/

If not, then I'd recommend updating.

From the forum rules:

Do provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments

Post the code that you have written and explain any problems that you may be having.

You can do away with the temp variable and just have:

num[i][j] = rand() % 10;

Flush the input stream after you get the value of X.
After outputting the value of CDF, your program needs to pause so that CDF can be read.
Format your code. That way the code will be far more readable and errors will be more obvious.

Welcome :)

Can you think of a method that uses addition?

Your borrowed code: https://github.com/andrew-smythe/3d_env/blob/master/tree.cpp
How about you start reading some documentation and doing the work yourself.

Create the control with ES_READONLY style or send the EM_SETREADONLY message to the control.

Try scanning the PC with ESET's online scanner.

The random 7 letter file extension is indicative of a CTB Locker aka Critroni variant. If so, there's no way to recover the private key needed to decrypt the files other than paying the ransom (playing ransom roulette).

via

For WinDbg, !peb or dt nt!_PEB to get the structure.

It sounds like the PC was hit by TeslaCrypt ransomware, which wipes out shadow copies as well as encrypting documents.
You won't be able to decrypt the .ecc files unless you pay the ransom - not recommended.
Your best bet is to restore your last backup and unfortunately lose some data.

AFAIK this 'function' is just a Borland specific macro used in Turbo c++ and c++ builder. As I don't have access to these ancient headers, I've no idea of the implementation.
