The Orkut Mozilla Hater Virus – w32.USBworm – complete removal

The w32.USBworm, or commonly known as the Orkut Mozilla Hater Virus, has been spreading its malicious fingers all over India. The worm, quite a tricky one, is most commonly seen when it displays messages like, “I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE…”, “ORKUT IS BANNED, Orkut is banned you fool“, “The administrators didn’t write this program guess who did??“, “youtube IS BANNED,youtube is banned you fool” and “The administrators didn’t write this program guess who did??`r`r MUHAHAHA!!,30“.

This worm has been around for around 4 months now, with scattered responses, and many bloggers posting different methods of removing it. Here, I’ve compiled the instructions from a few of those blogs, and added my own few failsafes into them.

What it does

Earn from your mobile also!!

Hi all,
After blogging on Eblogs, its time to earn from your mobile! There’s this revolutionary new service named mGinger available for Indians, or anybody on the Indian subcontinent, with a mobile phone. It might be made global later on… Whats the service? To keep it short and simple, you get paid to mobile…

Thats right! You get paid to use your mobile!

How does it work? You sign up at mGinger with your usual personal details, and mobile phone number. mGinger sends you SMSes from sponsors, which you read. For every SMS you read, you get paid. You can select your interests so as to restrict the advert SMSes to only of topics of your interest!

Bank ! Bank !

One day I went to a bank with my grandmother. There I met one of my old friend named Arun.

He asked me how I was there? I told him that I had come with my gandma for some banking work.

He touched the feet of an old lady. The lady told him that she couldn’t recognise him. Arun pointed towards me said that he was my friend.

The old lady looked at me and asked “who are you”?

I asked Arun “do you know each other”?

Arun replied “don’t you recognise your grandmother”?

I understood all matter and told him that my grandma was on the next counter.

We all laughed heartily. Arun felt sorry to the old lady but she was impressed by our moral conduct and said “there is no need to be sorry, you have done nothing wrong and you will get blessings only”.

Ragging all the way !!!

One can easily admit that the best days of his life are the college days. The incidents that take place are remembered by us throughout life. Suddenly when the thoughts come we cannot stop ourselves from tickling.

Ragging is considered a curse for the colleges. It can prove to be a nightmare for many students. But I had an exceptionally well experience of ragging. My college is around 23 km from my home. So it takes around 1 hr to reach my college. Now thats a pretty good time in terms of interacting with the students on bus. In my 1st year I opted for the college bus to reach my college.

India’s True International ‘FilmStar’ — II

I recall having spent a sleepless night after seeing the Govind Nihalani’s film ‘Aakrosh’ (1980). This has happened to me on very few occasions – only when the visuals or a very strong impression from a screen character left me silenced. ‘Aakrosh’ was one of them. And there were two reasons for that – one was the brilliant camera work of Nihalani and the other is the reason for my writing this post.

A fantastic piece of acting by none else than Om Puri! Yes, the character Bhiku (that he played) captivated me and left me spellbound. And, remember he was playing a character who did not speak even a single word in the film!!

Twenty-seven years has passed since then …. And we are still seeing the charm of this man – both in India and abroad.

India’s True International ‘FilmStar’

I do not believe that an actor should be ‘international’ only if he or she has been to Cannes, Karlovy Vary, Moscow, Tashkent or for Academy Awards. Real international performers are those who have crossed boundaries with their acting, be it within the framework of their work or by showcasing a talent that can be compared to any international standards.

This was my feeling after I completed viewing a film named ‘Bandini’ during a retrospective of films of Bimal Roy many years back. This film had, among other greats like Ashok Kumar, …., a young beauty named Nutan.

I still remember the film with vivid details that launched my imagination to think beyond the boundaries of the screen.
