CodeSpaces.com closed its doors this week, following a 12-hour security breach that completely wiped its servers.

On Tuesday, an unauthorized person—not believed to be employed by the site—gained access to Code Spaces's Amazon EC2 control panel. When the team fought back, the hacker deleted "most of our data, backups, machine configurations and offsite backups," the company said.

You can tilt your fire phone screen to scroll within the web browser.

We've seen these kinds of tilt features on Samsung Galaxy phones before, and they've always been absolutely horrible. Hopefully Amazon knows what it's doing here and that it will work way better than it does with standard accelerometers.

AVG Possibly Hit By False Trojan Horse Agent4.AQLZ Alarm [Confirmed]

May 27, 2013 by Avinash 2 Comments

Few hours ago (late Sunday), I saw the following alert message from AVG antivirus on my Windows 8 computer related to Trojan horse: Agent4.AQLZ and shdocw.dll file. Upon further research on the Internet, I found that this problem is currently faced by thousands of AVG users about virus detection which possibly is a false Trojan Horse alarm by AVG.

AVG agent4.aqlz shdocvw.dll Alarm

The antivirus program continues to pile up above virus detection messages whenever you browse windows explorer. After this alert, I attempted to create AVG rescue disk as suggested by help page and followed instructions accordingly. I completely scanned my computer from the rescue disk with no luck.

Thousands of AVG users have reported on the company’s official Facebook page. The community moderator is taking time to reply users individually asking to stay tuned for further updates from the company. Furthermore, the representative is also asking users to provide sample of detected files to analyse this problem over here.

For now, I would recommend everyone to ignore this false positive message from AVG antivirus and not to delete any system files.

Update: AVG officially confirmed that this is discovered as false positive alarm and issued a fix as a definition update.

I personally verified it by updating the antivirus program and rebooting the computer. Once rebooted, you should get a message mentioning shdocvw.dll system file is safe and the program discovered as false positive. You can also view this message from Options > History > Resident Shield Results of the AVG Free program.
