BrownOut!
April 29, 2010Last night’s power outage was ultimately outrageous! It was around 11 p.m. when I woke up … sweating in the middle of one hot summer night! I looked at the window, at first I thought it was almost dawn already, but when I looked at the time on my mobile phone, it was only around 11 o’clock and probable it was the moon, that’s almost full, that lights up the cloudy night sky.

USB / flashdisk virus
April 13, 2010Before anything else… technically these so called viruses that get transferred through usb or flashdisks are worms or other form of malicious softwares (malwares) and not technically viruses (although when I talk about this to other people I refer to them as virus too … for easy reference and I don’t have to explain myself what the heck is a worm)
Most, if not all, of the time this type of malware infects your computer if you insert your flash disk to an infected computer then the malware will write a copy of itself into the flash disks along with the the file autorun.inf. Then when you insert your flashdisk to your computer and open it, the worm will be activated and infect your computer too. Can this be avoided? The answer is difinitely YES!
Avoiding the spread of your worm is very easy and you don’t even need an anti-virus or anti-malware to do this. All you have to do is change the way you open your flash disk!
As for now I would like to refer you to my old blog post in my technical blog http://tekbytes.i.ph/blogs/tekbytes/2007/10/30/how-to-remove-imgkulot-and-how-to-avoid-infecting-your-harddrive-and-other-storage-devices/.
I’ll be posting a more generic procedure how to avoid infecting your computer. Also how prevent your flashdisk to become the carrier of worms.
Have a nice summer!
Summer is here.
April 10, 2010Summer is here… this means beaches, pools, vacations and other fun stuff…
Frankly speaking, i wish I could do all those this year… however, more important thing for me these days is how to beef up my wallet… so I can do all those things heheh…
Enjoy the sun!
