Elementary, my dear Watson

/

I'm going to help out the Marietta, Georgia police with this one:

Police said Hutcherson and Brohm -- friends since high school -- were drinking at a bar Saturday night and left after Brohm said he felt sick.

Brohm, 23, apparently was leaning out of the window when Hutcherson hit the support wire about a mile and a half from the bar, but police did not know why.

By using my powers of deduction, I'm going to guess that Brohm thought he was going to throw up, and that's why he was leaning out the window, minutes after leaving a bar where he complained he felt sick, but hey, what do I know?

McAfee Anti-Spyware

/

I saw today that Staples has McAfee AntiSpyware free after rebate, so I picked up a copy. I re-did my home machine when XP SP2 was released, so it's pretty clean. After installing and updating McAfee's product, I did a scan, and it detected 3 things: "Adult Links": This was something related to the ICQ search bar that ICQ annoyingly installed in IE, but since I don't use IE, I really hand't worried about removing it yet.

"ABCKeylogger" mouse/keystroke logger: This is what it thinks my registry entry for Macromedia Flash files is, as well as my Windows Update/Auto Update .adm template. Don't ask me why, I looked them over, and they're completely normal as far as I can tell. If you can hide a keylogger in an .adm file, you're pretty clever.

"BackAttack" remote administration tool: Again, this is what it thinks of my .mfp file association in the registry, and all it contains is "MacromediaFlashPaper.MacromediaFlashPaper"

So, in conclusion, McAfee Anti-Spyware seems to be worth about what I paid for it, after rebate. :)
