Vodafone dongle would not install

Install would stop with error message. Maybe virus preventing it, had to re-install OS.

Laptop Bare Bones

Hard drive taken out. POST available - after POST message reads: Media Test Failure.
Memory taken out: Green power lights on but nothing on screen - no BIOS.
If no lights on at all its a power issue on the MOBO

Error 404 File not found. nginx

Client could not view Google or Youtube. All other sites ok. This was a rootkit infection. AVG or Ad-Aware found viruses but did nor eliminate this rootkit. Had to uninstall both ot these and install Combofix. Back to normal now.
