NicTech.BM2 guard.tmp file
Microsoft AntiSpyware reported the presence of NicTech.BM2 on a Windows XP
system. It did not report any other files or registry keys associated
with the malware. I did not find any processes running that appeared to
be related to that file, which I removed.
I submitted the file for analysis by 14 different antivirus programs to
Jotti's Online Malware Scan.
One half of the antivirus programs reported the file as being associated
with malware.

Oracle Acquires Sleepycat
Oracle has acquired database
developer
Sleeycat Software, Inc.,
which produces open-source database software and will add Sleepycat's
Berkeley DB to its line of embedded databases.
Sleepycat's Berkeley DB may be the most sidely used open-source database
software with an estimated 200 million deployments. Bekeley DB is a
programmatic toolkit that provides fast, reliable, scalable, and
mission-critical database support to software developers. I use it
for makemap hash support for Sendmail.
