In response to the iPad’s advertisement that was seen during this year’s Academy Awards, the Windows 7-based Slate was presented by playing full episodes of MTV’s “The City” and Flash games. It also shows how the Slate utilizes multi-touch pinch-to-zoom functions on its capacitive touchscreen display.

The Slate also has an enhanced desktop, adding a theme with large icons as well as letting users “star” their favorite shortcuts. It also has an additional menu bar on top of the screen and a floating keyboard that can be moved around the screen.

We still do not know about specifications, pricing, and release date of the Slate.

To remove the Trojan, you need to uninstall the software first, which would remove the Windows registry value that executes the Trojan. Restart your computer, then go to the System32 directory and delete the file named “arucer.dll.” You can also use a firewall to block access to 7777/tcp.
