The Happening (Show)


This show is about an event where people living the north-east of US were suddenly affected by some kind of mysterious nerve poisoning gas causing them to commit suicide. It spread quickly towards the west and south.

Many people tried desperately to run away from the affected regions, including a family. While escaping, they guessed that the poisoning gas originated from plants, trees and vegetations, when the wind blows, that is when it is lethal. Strangly, the family is not affected by this, not like the rest. It ended a week later.

This is more like a love story, being a teacher, the man of the family, trying to patching up to his wife, who before that didn't want to have a child and was involved in a mistaken relationship with another man.

The story didn't tell us much about what really happened, scientists only suspect the green plants and floras are giving a warning, maybe if humanity still continues to destroy them, this may be what is going to happen.

End of story, the camera moves to another country, it happens again....

Recovery from infection


It is my PC, I managed to re-install the Operating System (OS) last night, and now, it is up and running.

Having to re-install all the applications back is really a tedious task, but, this time round, I make sure all protection softwares are installed. This includes the SP2 for Windows XP, free Windows Defender and Symantec Anti-virus. As for my work essentials, the CheckPoint VPN secure-client, WinZip, Eraser, Windows Office suite, PDF and not to forgot, my favourite, Mozilla FireFox.

Hey, a new OS for a new start, got to make sure to be careful when surfing the Internet in future.

Oh no! My PC infected!


I was surfing the web and chanced upon a website, then out of the sudden, the Anti-virus software pop-up saying there was Trojan-horse virus or spyware. The Anti-virus software tried to clean it, but was only partially done. I tried to remove the infected files manually, but didn't work well, a reboot of the PC, the infection came back again when I re-connected to the Internet.

Then, I proceeded to repair the Windows XP OS, but to no avail, worst! It can't even boot up to the desktop, errors, no blue screen though. No choice but to re-install the OS from scratch, this is going to be a tedious exercise on a Saturday night, but, hey, play safe, do backup first.
