it seemed pretty easy to clean. We ran cmd to launch taskmgr.exe as the local administrator. Then we were able to kill the processes. Once that was done, Malwarebytes took care of the infected files. After that was done we had to use a System Restore point from a few days before the infection.

Dwarf Planets Accumulate In Outer Solar System 93

Posted by kdawson on Friday April 09, 2010 @10:29AM from the potato-radius dept.

An anonymous reader tips a piece in Australian Geographic indicating that Pluto may be in for another demotion, as researchers work to define dwarf planets more exactly. "[Australian researchers] now argue that the radius which defines a dwarf planet should instead be from 200–300 km, depending on whether the object is made of ice or rock. They base their smaller radius on the limit at which objects naturally form a spherical rather than potato-like shape because of 'self-gravity.' Icy objects less than 200 km (or rocky objects less than 300 km) across are likely to be potato shapes, while objects larger than this are spherical. ... They call this limit the 'potato radius' ... [One researcher is quoted] 'I have no problem with there being hundreds of dwarf planets eventually.'"
