ile or directory in C:\wamp\php\phpunit on line 44

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php' (
include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\php\phpunit on line 44

The solution to this error:
1. Rename the phpunit file to something like phpunit1.
2. Edit phpunit.bat to reflect the previous change.
3. Copy the PHPUnit folder under the root php folder (ie c:\php)

This failed opening required phpunit framework php error may show up when you try to install Zend Framework package on Mac OS X:

What I really like: vReveal has been specially tuned to run up to five times faster on CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics processors. That means you can process video enhancements in less time and have your CPU available for normal everyday tasks. Lucky me again: I have NVIDA VGA!

vReveal can stabilize, brighten, and sharpen problematic videos and is uniquely able to increase resolution and to remove noise artifacts such as graininess and pixelation.

Unfortunately vReveal cannot enhance HD video. You can only apply enhancements to videos with a vertical resolution of 576 pixels (PAL resolution) or less.
But as I know (don’t ask…) MotionDSP are planning on releasing a higher-end version of vReveal in the future that would allow enhancement of HD video.
vReveal does allow you to trim a video to the best moment and to rotate a sideways video, but it is video enhancement software – not a full-fledged video editor.

Minimum system requirements:
The minimum system requirements are: Intel or AMD 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 50MB hard drive space, and Windows XP or Vista. A CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics processor is needed in order to take advantage of GPU acceleration.

Video formats supported:
.AVI, .MPG, .ASF, .WMV

Formats output:
Windows Media (WMV) and uncompressed AVI.

Using vReveal’s “One Click Fix” feature, you can select a group of videos in vReveal’s gallery and apply a default level of enhancements to them in preview mode with a single click.

The price of is $49.99 USD and it is possible to try vReveal before buying. The software is available to download from www.vReveal.com as a 30-day free trial, which applies a watermark to all exported videos and captured images. After 30 days, users can preview, but not export, enhanced videos.

Without enter in technical details, Carboniteis a piece of software that automatically works in background of the OS and looking for new files (or modified files). The best part is that the backup is uploading on the Carbonite servers. So if you delete your file or even the hard disk drive just die you can get the files back using other computer.

Please don‘t worry about data privacy. The files are encrypted twice before upload on Carbonite servers so you privacy is protected.
All good services come with a price, and Carbonite price si 54.95USD/year. From my point of view it is not too cheap, but not too expensive. Depends how much worth your data for you. So for you Carbonite could be extremely inexpensive or too expensive.
If you are not convince you can try it for free for 15 days.

BitDefender researchers have identified a new wave of spam messages that use fake events related to actor Angelina Jolie in order to trick users into downloading and installing Trojan malware onto their computers. This new campaign of spreading malware is mostly carried via spam messages based around an alleged adult video footage with the movie star. In order to watch the movie, users have to download binary file, video-nude-anjelina.avi.exe, which is infected with Trojan.Agent.AGGZ.

The spam message is comprised of an explicit image of Angelina Jolie, along
with some text claiming that the mail has been sent as part of the MSN Featured Offers program. The text message plays a double role by it trying to trick the user into thinking that this is a legitimate news message and by preventing spam filters from labelling the entire mail as spam message.

“The spam wave is part of a larger category of unsolicited mail messages that rely on social engineering techniques in order to lure unwary users into installing Trojans,” said Vlad Valceanu, Head Of Antispam Research.

“This type of attack seems to be extremely successful, as the number of messages has quickly escalated over the last couple months. In order to achieve their goals, spammers usually rely on international celebrities and
their pictures, along with catchy, yet fake news leads.” This is not the only incident involving Angelina Jolie. Recently, the actor
has given birth to two children, and spammers took advantage of the event in order to infect more computers. The spam campaign following the event wrongfully announced the fact that Jolie gave birth to no less than five children, and even offered users a link to a website allegedly hosting a small video with the event. The announcement, combined with Angelina Jolie’s fame was meant to take advantage of users’ hunger for sensational events. Once on the respective page, users were shown an image impersonating a flash video player. When the user landed on the compromised webpage, the download started immediately, without any user intervention (a procedure also refered to as drive-by download). The binary file was infected with Trojan.Downloader.Exchanger.Gen.1, a piece of malware that has been widely used in another spam campaign promoting an alleged antivirus utility,
called Antivirus XP 2008. Although the approach is relatively new, the underlying technique has been
widely used in the past. This campaign mostly targets computer users who are not so well educated in computer security – and maybe unaware of the availability of free online scanners offered by major security providers. The spam message directs the user to a legitimate webpage which has an index page that has been doubled to facilitate the attack. For instance, while the normal home page is index.php, the compromised URL would always end in index1.php. This secondary index page is neatly crafted using the Windows Vista look-and-feel (the Aero wallpaper and icon buttons). The professional look dramatically contributes to gaining users’ confidence, but there are a few details that should tip off the visitor about the scam.

For instance, the virus top on the upper right side of the screen displays the most aggressive viruses that were active during May – meaning the page has not been updated. Secondly, the other text elements are written in plain English, with ambiguous explanations (such as ”Trojan attacks damage more than $3 million/hour.”) The spam message itself is written using poor grammar, with multiple obfuscations to trick spam filters. ”This spam wave built on an older recipe, making heavy use of text obfuscation in order to prevent spam filters from identifying and marking the message as junk,” said Vlad Valceanu. “The message itself should be enough of a warning for the user that the advertised piece of software is not legitimate and might come from ’unorthodox’ sources. More than that, users should pay extra attention to webpages that automatically try to download a file on the computer.” Once installed on the computer, the rogue antivirus utility would stealthily start installing other high security risks such as adware, spyware or other malware from multiple servers or sources on the internet.

The media player is in fact Backdoor.Edunet.A, a piece of malware which uses victims’ computers as a channel for sending commands to a series of mail servers. The mail servers, which are used to spread spam, are mostly in the .edu and .mil domains.

The list of servers is retrieved by the trojan from a series of web servers which are either compromised themselves or part of the attackers’ own network. The list of web servers is continuously changing, but that of the targets has, so far, remained constant.

The trojan sends the commands in the hopes of finding an open relay – a mis-configured mail server that allows anyone to send e-mails – basically making it appear that any mail originating from the trojan is actually one that has been sent from the open relay.

BitDefender researchers have determined that, at least currently, none of the servers in the current target list are actually vulnerable.

“It’s not every day that you stumble on the workings of an honest-to-God hacking ring, let alone one that has a predilection for using military and university-run mail servers as spam relays,” declared Sorin Dudea, BitDefender’s head of AV Research. “It would be interesting to identify what, if anything, the institutions that own the targeted servers have in common.”

The time need for process the file is almost 0. What PicaSafe do to hide your photos? It puts images into an executable file, protecting them with a password (448-bit encryption).

The smart side of PicaSafe is that anyone can run the program and enjoy the pictures that you decided to make publicly available. Only when enter a password you’ll immediately get access to hidden image file. So, no one can guess they are there… Moreover, with PicaSafe, you can create a false digital photo album protected with a false password! If your friend asks you why your album has a password and forced you to enter a password, just type the false one to display the harmless photo album instead of the really private stuff. Cool!
