Building a Logic Bomb Bypass System for Our Artificial Intelligent Infrastructure Systems

Over the last year, our think tank has been reviewing the Stuxnet computer worm. Indeed, we've also been reviewing this latest computer virus which is said to be gathering information throughout the Middle East, and running rampant on their computer systems. What happens when a similar computer virus or computer worm is able to infiltrate our infrastructure computer systems here the United States? Did we let the cat out of the bag, did someone else, and how on earth are we going to get that genie back in the bottle? Okay so, let's talk about this for second shall we?

And let's go ahead and spin this topic a bit, and talk about logic bombs, and other challenges that are artificial intelligence systems will have to deal with in the future. Perhaps, they may recognize when there is a problem, and reprogram themselves to bypass their instructions. If they hit a logic bomb, there may be a bypass system, and the artificial intelligent infrastructure computer software will begin to rewrite some of its code from scratch. Yes, to do this, it will have to be thinking machine, or advanced artificial intelligence, but much of the software running these complex systems for instance with our energy grid, or other major infrastructure systems - are using the state-of-the-art AI.

In the human mind there seems to be bypasses that allow for creativity rather than the information flowing down the leafy skeleton of the brain's neural pathways. Maybe such a system should borrow this trick from the organic natural intelligence that all human brains have to solve this problem - bypassing all the logic gates opening and closing due to a virus or computer worm which is set everything into a giant loop. Is it possible to outsmart such a complex computer worm?

With a little creativity, there is no problem that cannot be solved, and maybe the solution is so simple its right under our noses, but we haven't stepped back long enough to philosophically consider the rationale or potential strategies available to us. There is no reason the system cannot jump, skip, or bypass a problem area. If an insect eats part of a leaf, the leaf is still able to get nutrients around the problem area and survive, just as stroke victims are able to reprogram their brain to get to information by going a different way, or using different associations to access their memory.

Is it as simple as I am explain it? No, it's a complex problem, but all complexity starts from simplicity, so it is just a matter of starting out with the right fundamentals before attacking the problem, or becoming overwhelmed with the challenge that has presented itself. Perhaps, it's time to stop and think. Maybe everyone is looking in the wrong direction. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this.

The Security Shield Spyware and How to Remove It From Your System

Spyware such as Security Shield spreads quickly and is very fast moving. There is an ongoing trend now of viruses that are made to look like security software, and Security Shield is just the latest of these. This type of software will do a computer scan and will repeatedly ask you to buy the full version of the software, but you should never do this. These people will steal anything and everything from your computer. While these programs will claim to be a free Antivirus (upgradable to a full paid version) that's capable of fixing computer errors on your computer, they will not. They will actually slow down your computer and put you in danger of losing your vital information. Software such as this is likely to take control of your browser, make some programs lock up, change the settings of your computer, drive you crazy with those pop-up ads, and steal your personal information. So we need to protect ourselves, our identity, our privacy and our money. It is vitally important to rid Security Shield Virus immediately!!

This threat will normally get on your system through spam, phishing sites, email attachments or flash video codecs. Security Shield sometimes combines with a legal program and once that program is installed, it can be very hard to get rid of. Things that your computer normally doesn't have any trouble with won't run correctly now. Performing searches will become difficult because they'll be re-routed and doing the simplest tasks takes a longer time. So how is this virus removed? Let's talk about it.

There are a couple of different ways to go about removing this. You can remove Security Shield manually which is only recommended for professionals because it involves editing the registry and one error could mean huge problems and a lot of money in repairs. Or you can remove it automatically. The manual way should only be attempted by experts. If you are one and are comfortable editing the registry, then follow these steps. Go in to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder. Find all related registry keys and delete them. Then locate related DLL files and unregister them and delete all folders and files related to the program. You can find the complete list of all files and folders related to this virus online.

I recommend the second option of removing the virus automatically. This can be removed by using a lightweight free antivirus. Most of these can clean up your computer fast and get it running like new in no time. Make sure that your free antivirus is from a reputable company and not another security virus. Also make sure that it does updates automatically and has an active scanning process that will keep you safe. If you take these steps you will no longer be at risk.

Why System Tool Removal Is Important

What is System Tool?

It is a self-propagating virus that is transferred through various means (email, social networks, web pages, file sharing) and once installed it looks and acts like an anti-virus software, prompting you to pay for full version software which once paid for and installed does nothing to protect your machine.

What Does It Do?

If you are unfortunate enough to have it transferred to your machine, the first thing you may notice is that whilst browsing the internet you seem to be randomly redirected to web sites which pop up that windows warning box that tries to trick you into thinking that your computer is infected. I think by now most people are aware enough to not click the download button, but here is where the system tool virus is different from other downloadable viruses; it downloads itself anyway! Some anti-virus and anti-spyware software will detect and try to block it, but if your software is not current or you virus databases are not regularly updated then it will most likely still install itself to your machine. Once downloaded, it writes to the registry, and very quickly takes over your computer.

How Do I Know If It Is On My Computer?

Every icon on the task bar disappears, and all that remains is a 'system tool' icon. You will not be able to access any programs except for Internet Explorer and Firefox. The virus blocks safari, task manager and many anti-virus applications whilst displaying a message in the task bar that 'this file is infected, please activate your anti-virus software'. You will also see a graphical window pop up that shows a fake virus scan in operation. It will also keep asking you if you want to carry on without protection. After some frustration and random mouse clicking to try and get out of the endless cycle of random fake messages and pop-ups the computer will crash and you will be left staring at the windows BSOD (blue screen of death) for a few seconds after which your computer may display a list of thread errors and switch itself off.

How Can I Get Rid Of It?

You have to restart your computer in safe mode, and delete the virus files that were downloaded and run a virus scan (making sure you have a high quality anti-virus software and that it is up to date). You could even restore your computer to an early state which will also help with system tool removal.

How Can I Make Sure I Don't Get Similar Problems In Future?

The answer to this is simple, get your wallet out and pay for some decent anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Free software just isn't good enough to keep your computer fully protected. If you want a hassle-free online computing experience then getting some high quality software from a company who specialise in anti-virus and anti-spyware protection is the best course of action. As they say, prevention is better than cure.

What Is System Tool?

How To Remove System Tool From Your Computer
If you are reading this, it probably means that your computer has fallen victim to one of the most malignant phishing scams the Internet has to offer: System Tool. Read on to find out just what this thing actually is, what it does to your computer and how to remove it from your system forever.

What is System Tool?
It is a proud member of a very specific family of malicious software known as "rogue security software", or rogueware, for short. Rogueware is a piece of software that masquerades as an antivirus or other anti-malware program while harming the user's PC in an attempt to scam or scare the user out of his or her money. Thus, rogueware is also a subset of a broader category of malware, known as "scareware"

How does it do its dirty work?
Usually it and its ilk get onto a computer through fake banners and online ads saying something like "Your computer may be infected!! Scan now." Those who fall for it end up with system Tool installing itself onto their PC. Some renditions of it even install themselves entirely on their own, without the users consent or knowledge. System Tool then proceeds to "scan" the PC, produces dozens of false "virus detections", and loudly proclaims something like "Your computer is heavily infected! Buy the full version now to fix the problem." There is no "full version", of course. The only thing you receive from the "purchase" is a collection of spyware. But it doesn't stop there. It'll keep pestering you with constant "detections", block your applications while claiming they're "infected", prevent you from accessing sites providing real anti-malware programs, actively resist deletion and generally make a huge nuisance of itself, all while trying to scare you into "buying" the "full version".

How to remove System Tool?
The simplest way to rid yourself of it consists of the following steps:

Reboot your computer and immediately start pressing F8 until a screen appears listing boot-up options.Select "Safe Mode with Networking".Once the system boots up, activate your antivirus, perform a full scan and delete any infected files.If you don't have an antivirus, download, install and update any reputable anti-malware program. Repeat step 3.Reboot your computer with default boot-up options.

If the above method fails, consider seeking professional help on how to remove System Tool manually.
