viruses

don't you just hate computer viruses? they make your pc slower, they revise your right-click menu option ah basta they're just a big pain in the a$$.

so anyway, there's this imgkulot virus that's been infectiong almost all of the inet cafes in the city. put in your flash drive in these computers and you'll be infected.

there's another variant of this virus called explore(philippines) or open (your eyes). real cute huh? you'll know your flash drive is infected when you right-click the drive and these options appear (in the case of imgkulot, the name imgkulot appears instead of your drive letter/name).

i've tried kaspersky and bitdefender but these viruses keep coming back. so i turned to good ol' google for answers and came upon this.

it's so simple, it's perfect!

another way of disabling the "autoplay" feature in winxp sp2 is by doing these:
  1. Type in start>run: gpedit.msc
  2. Then open: User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System
  3. Locate "Turnoff autoplay", Enable - All drives
that's my good deed for the day ;p

toodles!
