iPhone updated to 1.1.3, OpenSocial app in shape, Virus tool kit project

Yesterday i finally UPDATEd my iPhone(3.9 bl 1.1.2 firmware) to 1.1.3 using iTunes. To jailbreak, activated and unlock it i used ZiPhone 2.4 GUI and pressed "DO it All" there. As said by it my iPhone was unlocked, activated and jailbreaked within 4 mins. This is best tool i have came across, works with all the iPhone present in market, jailbreaks even iPod Touch.
Google Maps locate me works fine for me, swapping the icons is really cool, will explore it more and post...

I was very busy past week with my OpenSocial app, hence no updates here.
My app "Tag friends" for opensocial ie for social networks like orkut is in shape. You can give tags to your friends with it, label them and form an image of them... you can try it out in Orkut SandBox by adding it from here . Please do report any bugs/ suggestions.

The trend in today's malware is to spread by pendrives.Antivirus's aren't always succesfull in removing malware be it Norton, Kaspersky etc... tried them all. Its your PC which loses in battle of malaware and antivirus.Take the advantage of the expensive hardware you bought, not let these resource hungry products use it for scanning all the time :P. Moreover antivirus are unable to undo the changes done to your installation like disabled hidden folders, taskmanager, folder options .... by these evil thingz.

I am working on a small virus tool kit which delete's autorun.inf , enable/disable hidden folders on your physical drives, lots more to come.. the alpha build is ready, download it below, if you get errors, you don't have .NET framework 2.0.
**download the latest v0.07 from here -> http://enext.biz/aks/download.php?file=vtk.exe
If the sensitive key value's contains a file name other than explorer.exe , its a Virus!!

if after inserting the pendrive you run this tool to delete the autorun.inf on it, the virus on usb drive/any drive will not bump up on its own by merely inserting the drive. this is just a basic example of what i wanted to do.. my friends found it helpful, hence posting it here... again.. lots more come..

**UPDATED latest version link..

Nice tool.
But i have a nagging doubt. If the tool is required to be run AFTER connecting the pen drive, the virus will already be running. No point in deleting autorun.inf.

I suggest you also put an option in your tool to disable the autoplay for PEN(removable) drives option so that a comp is protected forever.

In XP i achieved this through TweakUI powertoy.

In vista the autoplay control is already in ctrl panel, but is not clear on the REMOVABLE DRIVE option, it only talks in terms of the files it finds.

Phew! long comment is written, hope to see your tool develop into a must have for all windows users! :)

yeah forgot that autorun regkey,, thanks for reminding..
the tool is usefull when you double click the pendrive icon in MY computer and virus automatically launches, integrates itself in your system through autorun.inf. even if a/v is able to remove virus you get a open with dialog box while opening drive as autorin.inf is present in drive root.
I am close to release a version which checks various areas in registries, system folders for virus startup entries, gets it path->terminate running instances ->delete virus, remove entry.
