Do Good with DoGood - Another Positively Great Idea!

I received the following information from someone I am connected with on LinkedIn. I think this is a really awesome idea. Check it out!!!

Three student entrepreneurs at the University of Michigan think they can use their phones to make the world a better place, one download at a time.

Three weeks since its launch at Apple's ( AAPL - news - people ) Worldwide Developers Conference, the application, DoGood, has recruited more than 15,000 individuals to be part of a growing network of users who want to change the world, at least a little. The application began as a hobby for three students who run a fledgling Internet outfit, Mobil33t, (pronounced "Mobileet") in Ann Arbor, Mich. But according to Mobil33t's co-founder and engineer Jason Bornhorst, who is in his fourth year as an undergraduate at Michigan, keeping up with the application's success is becoming a full-time job

Subscribers to the free application are prompted daily with a "DoGood"--a simple task from conserving water, to turning out a light, to beautifying the world. When they've accomplished their good deed for the day, they click the application's "done" button.

The program tallies how many users are fulfilling that day's deed, and users can share what they have done on Facebook and Twitter. So far, it's up to 209,214 good deeds.

"[I] contacted my estranged brother ... after more than 2 years of silence. Used LinkedIn! I guess we truly are a technology driven society ;-)" one user commented in response to a DoGood that prompted users to connect with a family member.

Another DoGooder wrote, "Left a post-it note on my work bathroom mirror: You are awesome," when the day's good deed was to leave an inspirational message in a public space....

Antivirus2009 - How To Eliminate It From Your Computer

I received a message about how to eliminate the Antivirus2009 software from your computer if it is infected with this "trojan virus."

"You are, of course, referring to a trojan virus that acts like AntiVirus software.  It manifests itself as a running process in the system tray that constantly nags the user to install the anti virus software, and also results in endless opening of browser windows the user did not open, rendering the browser useless.

Go through the process list (Ctrl/Alt/Del), process tab and find the process that is attached to the tray icon.  You'll know when you have found it, because you end the process and in 20 seconds it comes right back again.

On another computer, do a google search for the process name.  There are several anti-virus programs available for this nasty little bug.  Download the anti-virus, burn it to a CD, boot in safe mode, and run it -- problem solved.

I followed this exact process to eliminate this bug from a Friend's computer.  Sorry I can't remember the name of the process or I would send you directly to the anti-virus.

If you install a different browser from CD (such as FireFox) the new browser will not be infected with the virus, that can help in the diagnostic process.

Once you've fixed the problem convince your consumer to buy a real anti-virus program :-) Hope this helps. (End of a message)
