This is a little bit of an awkward question, and possibly off-topic, but it is at the end of the day in order to help debug a software issue: how would one go about obtaining a particular virus for testing purposes?
We have been receiving reports of our software failing on certain machines, and we think we have (through research and deduction) identified the cause as being a varient of the TDSS/TLD3 rootkit family.
We need to determine if this is truly the case, and if so, we'd like to patch our code to remove the TDSS infection before executing our code. However, I can't find any way of actually obtaining a sample of TDSS to test out this theory on. Short of searching comments on file sharing sites for someone saying "beware, this file is infected with TDSS," I can't think of any other way of sampling the virus? Is there no database of old viruses for such purposes (similar to CDC's stockpile of old viruses for medical research purposes!)?
Again, I do realize this is not a "standard" StackOverflow question, but I figured I would post here in the hopes of someone having some insight to share on this matter.
Here is an in-depth article on TDSS by a security analyst: http://nobunkum.ru/analytics/en-tdss-analysis. You might want to contact the author.

This may be off topic but if anyone can help or point me in the right direction.....or the correct place to put this question?
Can anyone suggest a good Automated Web Scraping program for use on a windows machine?
I would like to be able to automate the process and set it to be able to "scrape" the site every 5 mins or so and have the resulting xml exported to another website or database?
If the actual process is taking too long, those 10 seconds or more likely to being the network latency rather than actual parsing and scraping its self. If that is the case, you probably want to have them executing in parallel rather than sequentially if you have not already done so.
It would help if you had a more specific issue as there is several ways about going about this. You could have it still parsing on the phone. If that is too problematic for whatever reason, in my opinion, I would instead build a separate HTTP REST server for the phone client to have it interact with to get the data it requires.
There is many ways about going about this, and these are simply recommendations. If you want a more specific answer, you'll need a more specific question. Consider then asking a more speific programming issue if you run into one.

Myself and other app developers I've spoken with have heard this before: "Your apps look too basic, too boring." I am wondering if there is an online course, or a blog or a book that I could refer to, to learn how to make my apps look and act wonderfully and give them excitingness. I am not a UI/UX person but I did take a Coursera UI design course, which confirmed what I already thought about UIs. Apparently there is more to learn... Like Socrates said, I know I don't know. As a solo app developer, I don't have a budget for a UI/UX person to help me, but I am willing to learn it myself.
I recommend iOS Design Tools, which has both plenty of technical and inspiration resources.
A personal favorite of mine (listed in there) is pttrns, which does an amazing job presenting some of the better designs in the App Store.

Hi i'm starting to test data persistance for iOS and i want to use some databases, i tried few project with the command line but i would love to start using a software that will speed up the process.
I read already a post on here where an user listed few software from a website.
Here i copy the link he shared,
http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ManagementTools
i would love to know if any of you tested those software, and which one you raccomand.
On many books i read they use a firefox plugin, but i find firefox already too slow to add such a powerful plugin.
Please if you find this question stupid, don't flag or downvote. I looked for a similar topic and i didn't find the answer i wanted. Thank you
I've always used SQLite Database Browser. It's free, easy to use and gets the job done.
http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/
I have used Base: available on the MAC App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/base/id402383384?mt=12
I've used Arango Db. It's free http://www.arangodb.org

I have done so much research on how to program a BIOS from scratch but I got nothing. Does anyone one have any kind of BIOS tutorial or guide, that would be much appreciated. I have gotten absolutely nowhere. It's probably not possible but I'm wanting at least a semi-universal BIOS, ideally using a virtual machine.
coreboot is an open source BIOS project that supports over 200 mainboards. This could be a good place to start if you want to browse some code and get an idea of everything a bios has to accomplish.
http://www.coreboot.org/Welcome_to_coreboot
No. The only people with the information you're looking for are motherboard manufacturers, and they do not generally publish it.
Some projects to create an open BIOS exist (e.g, Coreboot), but they depend significantly on reverse engineering. (They are also extremely limited in what they support.)

I know the xxm install guide is a lot to read and doesn't get you up and running as fast and easily as it would when you've seen it done.
So I've installed xxm on a clean Windows install, and made screenshots at every step. I haven't made much tutorials before, and wouldn't even know where to start to make one of those walk-through video's with a voice-over...
Is it clear enough? How could I improve it? (First thing that comes up to mind is I should have set the screen to 800x600)
Should I extend this tutorial with how to include fragments on pages or how to debug a project, or should I make new tutorials about those?
For a programmer or an I.T. person (who is already technically-inclined) that understands the shortcuts and shorthand notations (virt-dir, for example), it's quite good. Although, looking at the website, it should cover running as a standalone HTTP server, as this is claimed to be supported.
