All about I.T.

Nowadays, trojan and worm virus is an headache of every computer users that it seems uncontrollable even your anti-virus software is always updated. It seem so helpless specially for ordinary user of computer. The use of USB drives or what they call thumb drive is one of the major spreader of these virus in addition to Internet connection. But are you aware that the spread of this called bugs or virus can be prevented even you anti-virus is not so powerful? Here is how:

• First thing first, we need to DISABLE the autorun of any removable device such as USB Drive, Memory Card Reader, CD-Rom etc to our computer, do you know how to do it? If not just go to My Computer, if you see the cd-rom drive there or the USB Drive just right click your mouse, then click Properties, then AutoPlay tab , on the drop down menu click MIXED CONTENT and Click TAKE NO ACTION, then apply.

This first step is necessary so that you'll avoid to be infected by virus that is embeded on Autorun scripts.

• Just in case you are already infected of an "autorun" virus, there is posibility that your registry is already modified, you cannot run regedit, you cannot show hidden files then you are in trouble :), well we can still do something about that:

1. While the computer is still off;
2. Plugin the USB Drive
3. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. It must be the bootable Windows XP Installer
4. Start the computer from the CD-ROM drive. It will start Windows Setup screen
5. When the “Welcome to Setup” prompt appears.Press “R” to start the Recovery Console
6. If asked “Which Window installation would you like to logon to” select the number. type “1? then Enter, if only one installation of Windows is present
7. Enter the administrator password, press Enter
8. It will bring you to command prompt, C:\Windows>
9. Proceed with the following command:
   - Type d: (This is the drive letter of USB. It can be e: or f: defending on how many hard disk or cd drive is installed)
   - Type attrib -h -r -s autorun.inf
   - Type “edit autorun.inf” it will open DOS Editor and display contents as follows
   ==========================
   [autorun]
   open=file.exe
   shell\Open\Command=file.exe
   shell\open\Default=1
   shell\Explore\Command=file.exe
   shell\Autoplay\command=file.exe
   ==========================
   Take note on the file that it called to open (in above example it is file.exe)
10. Exit DOS Editor and return to command prompt, D:\>
11. Delete the file that was called to open on DOS Editor
    - Type del /f /a file.exe
12. Delete autorun.inf file
    - Type del /f /a autorun.inf
13. Exit Recovery Console by typing exit.

On September 13th, 2008, best of lightweights fighter will test their skills on beating each other. Marquez will test his skill if he really can carry the weight, and if he really better than Manny Pacquiao by snatching Casamayor's Three Lightweight belts. While in the other fight, Guzman is trying to chase Pacquiao by trying to beat the old but skilled boxer Nate Campbell. I myselft want to watch both of these fight, but the fight is scheduled on the same date so I have to choose between the two.

If I'll watch Marquez vs Casamayor fight, what will I expect to this fight, can I expect an early KO here? Maybe yes, maybe not :) Casamayor is an older fighter and as good as Marquez counter punching skill, what do you expect if both counter puncher fight, one of them should initialize to engage before the exciting fight happen, but I have mention earlier, this is the battle of two great counter puncher, so i'm expecting 12 round decision for who will be the more aggressive in the fight and it shoud be Marquez..

In Joan Guzman vs Nate Campbell fight, is seems that Joan Guzman loss his power since he moved up to super featherweight division. Yes he is skilled fighter and no one will argue with that but the power seems not enough to knockout tough fighter, and Campbell is no bum fighter, in fact he is the champion. So I'm expecting this fight will be less appealing than Marquez-Casamayor fight. Guzman will just do what he did on Barrios and Sotto fight, a very boring fight as he will just stay away to his opponent in 12 round in win by points.

Considering the facts on the top, I'll choose Marquez-Casamayor fight, at least I can expect a good fight when one of them initiate to engage. The KO is a possibility but I believe is small chance.
