A nice little free utility came to my attention recently, called vLite. Although I have virtually no experience with Vista nor do I want any, this little tool seems to cut out some of the excess that Microsoft insists on installing by default. Taking the installation down from the standard 15 GB, to just 1.4 GB. It can also integrate hot fixes and other patches, then make the whole thing into a burnable ISO making it useful on more than one front.
There is also a version for XP called nLite.

A group of scammers called Mr Brain provide different phising, scamming tools to would be scammers. The reason the groups scripts are so popular are their ease of implementation, some can be done in as little as a minute. So the little script kiddies can just fill in a few details in the script config file and they think their done. The icing on the cake is these very scammers are themselves being scammed. The scripts also have some other code that is encrpyted that sends all the information gathered, back to the Mr Brain group. So these poor startup scammers just can’t get a break as the big guys already drained all the accounts.
