Dear Vinod Kumar Bhatnagar !

As promised, we've studied your problem a bit deeper and

found several cases in our practice with similar symptoms and
their possible solutions.

Here is one of such cases. A lot of users tell as that

they have problems with annoying pop-ups during startup or
error messages with some ugly content from unwanted
programs or programs that they even do not know to
exist on their PC.

Even if you have a bit another problem please read about this
case up to the end. Firstly, it may be connected with your
problem (chances are, it is). Secondly, if you face such problem
in feature, you will know what to do (remember, that knowlege is
our strongest weapon). At the end of this email you will also
find possible solutions for some other problems that are often
accompanied by the one you described.

Possible reasons of problem:

1) Nasty spyware or adware which wants to spy on
you or is requesting to pay for some illusive
solution
2) Basically non-malicious program which became
corrupted by accident and now is showing its error
messages

Solution: You should find the place where this

unwanted program starts itself and disable this
startup item.

1. Read carefully the contents of that

annoying pop-up or error message and find out
the name of program or process which causes
this. Let's suppose that the error message is
something like "The program "program.exe" has
encountered error and will be closed" so the
name of program is "program.exe". Important:
This is only an example. In your case the
name of program or process can be different.
2. Choose Start -> Run...
3. Type msconfig.exe and press Enter.
4. Switch to the last tab of the dialog
appeared and search for "program.exe" or "program"
in this list (this is for our example only;
the idea is that you should search for the
name of program or process with and without
extension).
If there is item that contains "program.exe" or
"program", uncheck it.
5. Click OK and restart your computer.
This simple algorithm solves 80% of all problems
related to startup pop ups and error messages.

However, if this do not solve your problem or if you are

not sure what to uncheck or are worried about deleting
something system-critical, I urge you to download True Sword
and perform full scan of your system:

http://www.securitystronghold.com/download.php?dfile=2

Why this program may become more effective in your case than
even professional's eye? The reason is quite unusual. There are
a lot of viruses and trojans that pretend themselves to be
legitimate system files. These malicious files can reside
in the same folders as their valid twins do and have same
names. Even professional sometimes can't distinguish valid
and malicious versions of the same system file. But professional
antispyware and antitrojan software like True Sword has
large database of checksums of both valid and malicious files.
Checksum of file is like its fingerprint and can't be fabricated.
True Sword will accurately find and eliminate malicious version
of file and save valid version untouched and working.

This is why we recommend you to use True Sword's scan feature

right now:

There are some more cases wich are rather similar to what you've
described. We'll send you more information about these cases and
their solutions in several days.

Stay tuned!

Government orders fresh trial of bullet proof jackets

Mon, Jan 11 07:31 PM

New Delhi, Jan 11 (IANS) Scrapping earlier test reports, the home ministry Monday
ordered a re-trial of bullet proof jackets for paramilitary troopers following media
reports that the trials of the vests were fudged at a Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO) lab.

The ministry also recommended action against an accused DRDO official - DRDO joint
director R.K. Verma - who conducted the previous tests.

The home ministry had earlier floated a tender for procuring 59,000 bullet proof
jackets for the central paramilitary forces.

Verma was included in the tender evaluation committee.

'Several complaints were received from different sources (about the tests). A CD
purportedly containing conversations between Verma and one of the bidders was also
received,' a ministry statement said.

Verma is said to be claiming in the CD that the approved vendors have rigged the
tender to jack up prices. He has also admitted in the CD that discrepancies existed
during the tests.

'Home Minister (P. Chidambaram) directed Dec 23, 2009, that the tender process
shall be stayed and that the price bids shall not be opened until further orders.

'The complaints and the CD have been examined and Verma has admitted that it was
his voice on the CD,' the statement said.

The bidders have been requested to submit fresh samples which shall be tested
afresh.

'Tender advisory and evaluation committees may be advised to maintain strict

vigilance and ensure scrupulous adherence to the terms and conditions of the tender,'
the statement said.

Govt orders fresh tests for CRPF bullet-proof vests

HOME MINISTRY SCRAPS TEST REPORTS OF SAMPLES OF JACKETS FOLLOWING
CHARGES OF IRREGULARITIES
NEW DELHI:
The government will ask bidders to submit fresh samples after it scrapped test
reports of bullet-proof jackets to be bought for the Central Reserve Police Force.

The home ministry on Monday rejected the technical evaluation reports for procuring
59,000 vests following charges of irregularities in the process.

It has also ordered disciplinary action against an officer of the Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO), R.K. Verma, for his role in alleged fudging of
trials.

"The government has decided to scrap the test reports submitted by Terminal
Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL), Chandigarh while the bidders would be asked
to submit fresh samples...," a ministry spokesman said.

After the CRPF floated the tender for the jackets in July, a technical evaluation
committee and a tender advisory committee (TAC) were constituted.

The technical committee also had among its members Verma, the joint director of
TBRL -- a DRDO laboratory.
The lab tested the samples and gave the findings to the TAC, led by the CRPF director
general.

While it was looking at the reports, the home ministry in November received
complaints alleging violation of norms by the lab during the tests.

Some manufacturers also leveled charges against Verma, who supervised the ballistic
tests.

Most suppliers had failed to meet the technical terms and conditions in the first round
due to non-compliance of the product evaluation, some complainants said.

Still the CRPF went ahead with the second round of testing of the failed samples in a
clear violation of the tendering process.

"We found that ballistic testing at the Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory was
highly suspicious and recommended to the home ministry to order testing of the
samples afresh," said a CRPF official, who didn't wish be identified as he is not
authorized to speak to the media.
