VirusLab

Well… So far I’ve caught two using NOD32 and the USB Drives being swapped around. Ooops, quarantine, DENIED.

First up, we have VBS/Butsur.E, the one that replaces your IE Title Bar’s original value to “Taga Lipa Are”, which is actually a rewritten code, I think from the “Hacked by Godzilla” thing. It spreads thru system and removable media, by implanting an autoplay.inf in those drives, each time the drives’ autoplay is invoked, it spreads by running a VB script.

Second, we have the VBS/Small.NAC, which also implants an autoplay.inf, but causes various applications with certain keywords to minimize and terminate. I think it also spreads using the same procedure as Butsur does.

As usual, here are some general rules to follow in removing viruses:

1. Disable System Restore. Some viruses and worms actually regenerate by using the modules within System Restore.
2. Update your virus definitions. Make sure to do this whenever you need to scan. What use is scanning with old definitions?
3. Restart Windows in Safe Mode. Safe mode only invokes functions in which it nees to run (theoretically), which may or may not cause any virus regeneration things to be loaded in memory, making it possible to remove.
4. Scan away. Personally, I recommend NOD32, from ESET.
5. Reload Windows.

Might I plug Firefox as well? Get it here. Now.

P. S. I’m guessing JP might say this, so… You could always change your OS and never (almost) see viruses again.

On Procrastination

Wow. I have failed again to print the poster for inciting the sophomores and the freshmen to EleCom.

On Thursday, I promise. XD

I seem to have been infected with the laziness of a thousand sloths, I am actually blogging while my teacher is standing in front. Not to be rude, however, I am still *partially* listening to his lecture.  I am going to be so screwed during this subject’s test.

ZOMG, LOL. EleCom Logo?

As usual, it’s a PNG again. Click it to see it. Preferably, remove the scaling. I would have beveled this, but it seems that Macromedia Freehand does not have that function. Oh well. Where’s my Photoshop at? XD

Yep. It’s supposed to be a modern insignia, apparently, I fail at these things too.

It’s supposed to be signifying modernization (as if it isn’t that hard to see), and the change of the volunteer organization. Lately, it seems we have been breaking all sorts of stuff we aren’t meant to break, but we certainly hope that it will be for the betterment of the organization. Betterment, yeah, you heard right. I probably will fail too at running this design thru Sir Pat. XD

We have finally reached a decision on the position of the members, which shall be appointed just for this run, so that we could put the issue aside quicker and press on to bigger and more important things.

I probably will also finally put on some advertisements on the EleCom bulletin board next weekish (until we decide on our finalized logo, designing is better done one thing at a time), inviting our target for the moment: the people who would be replacing us next year. Yes, the sophomores and the freshmen. I really do hope some of them become interested in our happy, fun and close-knit organization (end shameless self-advertisement).

“Come! Let’s join us!” That was totally intentional.

Fate/Stay Night Figures

Oh my. I want these! I better write to my aunt.

These are cool. I want a set of these.They appear to have great modeling.

 

 

Chibi Fate/Stay Night figures.

 

ZOMG. Kawaii. So cute.

 

 

Some serious screwed up play things. XD

 

Wow. Somebody has issues.

 

 

These are the figures I want. I find it difficult not to buy a lot of Tohsaka~chan. <3

Strobe Lights, Christmas Lights and Candlelight.

Anything can be seen differently by using a different perspective.

Nerds can be seen as sociopathic, introvert who is very schedule-bound. Given a different lens, however, they might be just people passionate in a given field that desires more knowledge, and prefers things to go smoothly, without hitches.

Kikays can be seen as flamboyant, extravagant and too prideful for their own good. Seen differently, they might also be people who have a preferred sense of fashion who likes to dress up to make sure she looks pretty all the time.

People really need to see the brighter side of things. Optimism goes a long way. A boring, bland, and monochromatic life can be change just by changing you point of view.

A gloomy, dark street with no people can be changed into a street that deserves a break from what it has done the morning before.

Won’t you live the moment of happiness? Looking back, seeing happy memories are better than staring at blank, empty space made by rejecting everything, avoiding fun. We deserve fun, and so does fun deserve us.

Embrace moments whilst you still can!

Anime deshou?

ZOMG. Not another anime. You’re in for a treat. I’ve been looking for a lot of anime recently (I actually stopped playing Granado Espada) and found some of interest. I introduce for this post…

FATE/Stay Night Logo

FATE/Stay Night was made by Type-Moon, and looks so damn pretty. The plot develops great as well, keeping the pace up with some action eye-candy and the inventive storyline. There are several Masters which command seven Servants on a game called “The Holy Grail War”, in which the winner would be grant possession of the Holy Grail, an artifact that will grant the owner a wish.

Shirou Emiya with his Knight-class servant, Saber. Emiya is pretty much useless.

There were times when I can feel that fan-service was too prioritized though *coughepisodefifteencough*, slightly giving some WTF moments, but it’s not that plenty, so it’s forgivable (the anime was rated PG, behave yourself). One particular WTF moment was the Astral Shiro diving inside Saber, fighting with what it seems like a dragon-gryphon hybrid (you’ll eventually get the WTF moment when you watch it, I assure you).

Emiya blushing at seeing a nude Saber! Nothing but a cute little bottom was shown, mind you.

It’s slightly short, only running for 24 episodes, but there are various other scenarios if you liked the anime; the game features three branching story paths: FATE, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven’s Feel; not to mention a follow-up called FATE/Hollow Ataraxia. I believe there is also another game out for the PS2, called Realta Nua.

Tohsaka Rin with her Archer-class Servant, Archer. Inventive, ne?

I’ve searched a lot of places to get a DVD version of this, but much to my dismay, none of them held this title. I’m still looking though. Maybe I’ll have more luck on some anime conventions, though they might actually screw up my budget, leaving me with no iPod. Again. Plus, the action figures look awesome too. *drool*

Illyasveil Von Einzbern with her Berserker-class Servant, Berserker. Lumbering little beast, isn’t he?

I can’t seem to get too much of this anime. I’m searching for translations of the other branches of the story (namely, Unlimited Blade Works, Heaven’s Feel and Hollow Ataraxia) but it’s so hard to find it too. I’ve found a place to download Unlimited Blade Works, but it seems too unreliable. If you can find some scanlations of the manga of Unlimited Blade Works, please let me know.

Tohsaka with Sakura. Tohsaka is the one with the brown hair. <3

All in all, it’s a good watch, offering comedic satire in the person that is Taiga (rawr. seriously, some of her comments make me cry. I just wish they’d be more of it), some not-so-subtle love triangles (personally, I like the Rin x Archer pairing), and pretty good action scenes (episode 14. I promise you, it’s too good to miss).

ZOMG. Duck for cover. Taiga’s angry!

Watch it now! Like… now.
