Journal Journal: TrustedInstaller.exe 50% cpu + 1MBPS disk utilization problem... 4

my sisters computer is having a weird bug, related to windows update trustedinstaller.exe it is using 50% cpu and 1 MBps hdd utilization, i came across someone else having a similar problem.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/service-trustedinstallerexe-permanently-active/32f87e95-1afa-4478-90a3-61fa6537c44c
but here is the kicker, in my situation the hdd and cpu use starts at bootup(pre login), windows update says there is a 'failed' install. my sister had done a system restore due to a failed sp1 install (her internet stopped working) i will try disabling the auto update and explain to her how to manually update on the second Tuesday of the month, but in the case that fails to resolve the issue i will wipe her system, but i really dislike having to do that especially since she has a lot of programs and music.

Journal Journal: should i convert a i686 with 256mb ram to linux or not? 4

my sister has an old junky i686 i didn't have my install discs except a wierd one off distrowatch. the old pc is mainly used by 8 yearolds and windows xp gave up the ghost. i can download any distrowatch disk, but being so old want an easy platform for browsing and schoolwork. i would also like to have an ids to email me once a month a status of that ids system. so what works is it worth getting a slim distro and which one? it has a 3 year old 100gb hdd and decent for the era gpu, or should i tell them to give up on such old hardware? the parents have a laptop, so does one of their kids, but this is the last desktop they are getting from me unless i find one nearby on craigslist or something cheap like that. please post any info you think i need to do this, thanks.

Journal Journal: so they figured i'm not into WoW so they amped up with a fake yahoo login... 1

and i figured out how to use web of trust finally (tldr on documentation!) so the email used http://configurats-yuboosmail.cixx6.com/ but WoT said it was mailers-configurs.3eeweb.com
both are run by spammers and i did give an all red for the site 'web of trust' followed through to here http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/mailers-configurs.3eeweb.com using the domain tools here http://whois.domaintools.com/3eeweb.com shows 96 domains run to the same ip. including 0570.tk schquiz.com and 1plus-term-life-insurance-rates.com

http://www.forums-ctm.tk/login.asp?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fus.battle.net%2Faccount%2Fmanagement%2Findex.xml&app=bam
should i keep doing this? it's pretty clear their C&C server ip isn't being used, and it's pretty clear they dispose of old hostnames daily...

Journal Journal: fake WoW malware site. 2

the most current one is.
http://www.worldofwarcrafj.tk/login.asp?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fus.battle.net%2Faccount%2Fmanagement%2Findex.xml&app=bam
i have older ones with different sites. notice the exploit uses 'bam' as the name of it. i'd wager that this site trafficks a lot of game related pc hijacks.

on a brighter note, the season 3 st:tng episode 19 "captain's holiday" starts with the captain playing with various devices that look really similar to todays tablets and phones. i know the first touchscreen i ever saw was on st:tng that i recall anyways.

Journal Journal: Intrusion detection software for android devices? 1

I have an android phone, and while i can set a password and there are many tools for it, i have yet to see an intrusion detection system in the 'google play' store. sourceforge has a AIDE project that supports the 2.6 kernel powering the android phone but without rooting the phone i can't figure out how to do an IDS. there are antivirus but with only a dual core at 1.2 ghz it sucks the battery dry to have a conventional AV system. i don't have the skills to port AIDE to my phone, and google play is full of malware especially in the game section. my carrier disclaimes any fault for security breaches, or privacy protection. so is there a battery saving solution to android security?

Journal Journal: soy protein isolate...

i am working out for a 10k walk, and trying to lose weight... and as a part of that i have gone on a diet that includes soy protein isolate and whey protein. i wiki searched it, and it says that soy must be cooked to be edible and i assume processing it involves cooking at some point, but and this may be too much information but i immediately noticed it killed off all the stinky gut bacteria... the brand is EAS from abbott and i am slightly concerned by the immediate death of so much bacteria.
  so is the killing of all that bacteria a healthy thing and i shouldn't worry or is it seriously a bad sign. i need to know because the shakes easily suppress my appetite 2 shakes and 2 meals a day and 1 cereal bar snack and 2 sodas which is all totally about 1640 calories, yet i feel full. before the shakes i would eat about 2000 calories never felt full and my intestinal track had plenty of stinky bacteria.
