Big Fat Virus

Out of the blue, my pc got molested by a notorious virus.
It came, it saw, it concurred my pc.
What it did?
Just one clever thing; prevent any program from running.
By doing this, it shuts down my anti-virus and i cant restart it. It also prevents me to manually stop it with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. In other words, there's nothing we can do to touch it. Its quite invincible.
Any prog i want to run, a message appeared saying it's infected.
My windows keep telling me that i should turn on my anti-virus, but not using the antivirus i already have.. An unknown antivirus prog is now acting as if it's my regular antivirus but ofcourse after it detects all the viruses in my pc, it recommends me to buy the real thing. This occasion keeps occurring and there's nothing i can do.
My internet was going wild, advertising some websites, repeatedly..

i will put hear the method tht i use to solve this problem.
i choose to write this one down in my blog because my friend recommended me to reformat my pc. So i thought, what if somebody else was in my shoe and took his friend's advice?
I figured this entry could help somebody out there..
Reformat is a big word, most people tend to avoid from having to go through all the hard work of reformatting..
Here what i did:

  1. First of all pull out your internet cable or turn off your wifi signal. Let those stupid fool loose you...
  2. Go to safe mode (if u dont know how to do this, just plug off ur pc while it's still running and restart, it will give u the option to go to safe mode)
  3. Run your antivirus scan. Meanwhile, follow these steps below:
  4. Type msconfig in your start menu. Click Enter. (or run for windows XP)
  5. Go to 'startup' tab.
  6. Search for any weird program registered in the list. What i mean by weird? Names u never heard of, u never recalled ever installing it, usually it is stated unknown in the manufacturer (for windows 7) section. example, mine it has 'YXE7DXCQ37' for its name. u can also see in the command section to consider if it is a useful program.. A virus from the internet usually will reside in 'Appdata\Local\Temp' (to see in its command)
  7. Uncheck it. (u can also use this method to throw away any unnecessary program lagging your pc when u start up)
  8. Click apply.
  9. Note down the address in its command. Our target is to go to the place where the virus is residing and delete all of its programs manually.
  10. Go to the folder mentioned in the address, while viewing in details, delete any file type executable program created the day u got that horrific virus. It makes u wonder where these programs came from when on that day, u didnt install anything.. Delete those losers! (Shift-delete!) Infact, delete any file u find weird created on that tragic date and at that tragic time. Just to be safe..
  11. After the virus scan (Usually they wont find anything..) try restart in normal mode.
Thts it, its very simple. With some basic knowledge and logical thinking, we can safe our pc from the infamous reformat.

bubbye..

25/9

i got hit by this obnoxious team of viruses again. Seriously out of the blue, i only have the normal websites tab on my Modzilla. Probably its bcoz of this new place...
Symptoms:
-Windows asking my permission to let some program run keep popping up.
-An unknown antivirus suddenly appear (just like before) telling me i have tons of viruses in my pc.

I didnt let any of those programs to run and since this time Ctrl-Alt-Delete works,
i get to see which programs want to ruin my lovely day without having to go to safemode.
As i said before, most viruses from the internet will reside in
Appdata\Local\Temp, so i went there, tried to delete everything that came today. Some refuses to be deleted, but u just have to stop their processes through the system manager.
Some badass program can easily be recognize, some is a bit tricky like the iexplorer.exe..
But u can see their name in the Temp folder so no matter how useful they sound like, u just delete after stopping their processes. Or right click the suspicious program u have in your system manager list, and see its directory.
Example this guy came with the name winlogon:



Here's what u have:
- it is run not by the system, but by me.
- its description is the repetition of its name
- its directory is in the Temp folder.

What to do?:
- kick the stop processes button and shift-delete the uninvited App.

Result:
- A lovely Saturday morning (or any day depends on what day u're on..)

so far.. damn.

It’s been awhile since this guy wrote anything.
My grammar has become soo bad... I’m sorry for that...
I want to clarify something here, even though I know there’s 99.9% probability there won’t be anybody reading this entry other than myself…
There’s a photo of me wearing UMNO shirt at an UMNO assembly in facebook. I want to enlighten you guys that that doesn’t mean I’m an UMNO supporter. I was there to deepen my knowledge on their activities. I want to know what’s going on at an UMNO assembly and thanks to some of my good friends in Penang; I was given the opportunity to do so. It was a very profitable to me in terms of getting to know better of the UMNO in Penang. That was all, it was an opportunity to widen my experience and I took it. But it doesn’t mean I’m now an UMNO boy.
Second, I want to be a good English writer but most of the times I just read. I rarely write. That’s why my grammar is getting worst. I know that my knowledge is very low, and I sometimes forget the facts that I’ve read. My idols, they’re damn good, they’re able to memorize tons of dates, billions of facts, infinite incidence and so on... They’re like superhuman like Angelina Jolie in her film “Salt”.

Cup-and-ball game with my niece and nephew

It’s Oman Air, Not Omar Air.

When I was in Paris, a few hours before boarding Omar, I mean Oman Air, I had so many doubts. I started to think why I even bought the tickets. What is Oman Air? I will spend 15hours above ground and 14 of them are inside the infamous cheap airplane. There will be children running around, 1 small screen at the front for everybody in the economy class. I would be suffering the whole time! Why did I buy those tickets? Why was I too tight on spending my budgets? Gosh!!
I arrived at the airport with 45minutes behind my schedule and with two luggages; I went straight to terminal 2A. I saw the name “Oman Air” at the nearest two counters next to some counters with tons of people in the line. “Not so many people in Oman Air.. Small company...” I thought to myself. I also noticed they put blue carpet in their line, “They are really desperate to attract clients…” I said with a grin. As I was getting nearer, I saw the word “1st class” on the screen, “Ups, wrong line” so I went to the counter next to it, this time, it was “Business class” attached at the front. I uttered “Ups, wrong again” with a silly giggle, the woman at the counter heard me and she point to the side. The counters with tons of people at the front are also Oman Air... That’s the Economy Class…
At the line there are a lot of Indians and a couple of French (they seem to stand out from the rest of the heard...) I started to think if the country this airline belongs to is an Indian country… With these people in the line, I can already foresee my future...
I went straight for the tax free zone to buy some chocolates for my family. I gave my passport at the only passport checker counter available and the officer took it slackenly before continuing to play with his iphone. I then passed the one and only security check point where I took a photo of the officer whose duty is to monitor what’s inside people’s luggage and he was also enjoying a FIFA match game through his iphone:

its blurry, well, i took it while acting as if im on the phone..


What’s inside the airplane is totally unexpected, here’s some photo to do the talking:


a usb connector and a 3mm jack
Just like MAS
But they have keyboard with joystick at the back!
They have Economy class Menu!
And if u get lucky, u can have a 1st class comfort with ur economy class ticket
Internet on board, the first..
View of Oman
They use foreign stewardess (like Thailand) and they wear that hat when we've landed in Muscat





















Before boarding Oman Air, I was not even sure whether it’s Omar or Oman Air, or the country I’ll be visiting for the transit. When people asked me, I just said, it’s Omar on Oman Air and the transit is somewhere in the Arab countries. I was that naïve.
How ignorant I was, Oman is the name of its country and Muscat (not Moscow) is where my transit is, which the capital city of Oman is. I learned a lot, well that’s because I didn’t know much before..
The heat in Muscat was unbearable. The minute I went out, I thought I was next to a machine but even when im down on the ground heading towards the bus, the heat was still there. It was not the sun, no, not like in Msia where the sun tells u it’s hot or not, in Muscat, the condition is the same as we’re in a microwave; it’s the air that’s heating us up.
Inside the airport, I thought I wouldn’t meet any Msian, how wrong I was as I ended up with groups of Msian, also waiting for the same airplane after their Umrah. I get to talk with some folks and share our stories.
I continue my journey back to Msia in the lovely plane of Oman Air, sitting next to Anand, a UK student whom I found to be interesting and easy-going.
In KLIA, I didn’t waste my time to get my first MILO ICE from their KFC before boarding back to Penang. I met another interesting person who told me that anyone can do a research, no need for a good educational background to give a presentation in an international forum.
I landed in Penang at about 1.25am.

The conclusion of my trip is, i saved about RM1000 compared to MAS with a longer trip but not a less comfortable one. i hope this article opens ur mind towards Oman Air.

brinner

It was 11.10pm when i called my friend.


After asking him whether or not he still wants to do his laundry at my place,
he replied in a flabbergasted manner, "U're still at the university??"

"Well, i told u i'll call u once im ready to go back, since i havent called u, it means im still at the university"

Yeah, i have finished all of my exms, come to think of it, i could say that my forth year has finished.. but i'm still stuck, doing late night work at the university. Thanks to the infamous industrial project of course..

i think when i've finished, i'll probably put a few good image here,
juz to show how this stupid-ridiculously-time-consuming tricycle looks like..

About today...
Well, today's not so good,
i missed my mornink lecture bcoz i failed to wake up.
i slept at 5.30am, trying to finish something for the project.
i thought 1 hour of sleep should be enough, but i guess i miscalculated..
i wonder what the lecturer thought about me.
My friends told me he shook his head in despair after i didnt reply to his lovely call in the lecture hall.
Him and me, we have a connection..
even he, doesnt know why,
it started with me, missing one of his lecture, but its the lecture where, for the first time, he noted the student's presence.
He never noted student's presence before or afterwards, until today that is..

Yeah, we have some special connection..
even he said that to me.
I was angry with him for worsening my life for just 1 time absent,
and he..
Well, he seems to get himself closer to students who doesnt like him..

Back to the telephone conversation..

After i spoke to my friend and decided its best that he does his laundry tomorrow, i took off into the darkness outside for a 30-min walk home.

Accompanying me was the rain and continuous song of Lady Gaga's Tik Tok from my mobile phone.

At about 12pm, i found myself at the front door of my place.
i made a call and watched wats the head line on theSun. - Some Najib's plan to turn Msia into a developed country.. - Not interested.
Took my bath,
felt empty in stomach,
remembered that i haven't had my dinner,
took out my kokocrunch,
and m now finishing it while writing this blog.
Tmrw, again, to the university to finish the "lovely" project.
