WARNING: malwarecrypt.com

Just a warning folks, it seems a squatter snatched malwarecrypt.com when it expired (no idea who the squatter is, as the WhoIs is hidden), and before Jintan (the domains previous owner) could renew it (his hosting company/registrar, A Small Orange (asmallorange.com) didn't warn him that it was due to expire.

He's contacted ASO to try and get it back. I'll let you know what happens.

Info: hpHosts server

Just a note folks, the hpHosts server is currently seeing abnormally high traffic, which slowed it down to a crawl. The server has been rebooted but is obviously still alot slower than normal.

I won't have access to the server until tomorrow, so can't do very much at present.

Man beaten and stabbed by Gumtree scammers

Police today warned users of the popular classifieds website Gumtree to be on their guard after a man who responded to a car advert was almost killed in a brutal robbery.

On July 30 the 42-year-old took a large amount of cash to meet the supposed seller of a VW Golf in Barking, east London. He was punched, kicked and stabbed while trying to hold on to his bag, witnesses reported.

He was rushed to hospital for life-saving surgery.

It later emerged that the registered owner of the Golf had no idea it had been advertised for sale.

Fix: Setup failed to install the required component Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express

I received this error when trying to install the Business Contacts Manager that came with Microsoft Office Professional 2007.

After getting the exact same error when installing Microsoft Office Accounting 2009, I decided to try and find a fix again (didn't look much the first time as I don't really need Business Contacts Manager), and finally found one (thanks to NeilH10 in the MSDN Forums).

For those experiencing this, the following is what you need to do to resolve this;

1. Load Programs and Features (Windows Vista/Windows 7) or Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP or below)
2. Uninstall the following;

Microsoft SQL Server native client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support files
Microsoft SQL Server VSS writer

3. Delete or rename, the contents of the following folder

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\

4. Re-run the installer for Business Contacts Manager (or whichever program's installer gave the error)

The above fix worked perfectly for me on Vista.

Surprisingly, I wasn't able to identify anything at all on the Microsoft site concerning this particular issue?
