Is that person ...?

By Human tendency male/female gender looks for a partner of opposite sex. In Sigmund Freud books he would have stated it clearly.
But many guys find it difficult to choose whether a girl is suitable to be a life partner or not. How can that be done? How to know whether a girl is of caring tendency and of resonable mind and whether she is caring of you and reasonable to you. Any ideas? I am not trying to pull the legs of girls. But trying to make everyone understand about her.

Adware.Look2Me

What is this Adware.Look2Me?
Recently my system was infected by this Trojan/backdoor. How am I going to get rid of this is the riddle and the climax of the post.
Before how to get rid of it let us see what it is in first hand.

A TROJAN is a destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. Unlike viruses, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but they can be just as destructive. One of the most insidious types of Trojan horse is a program that claims to rid your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses onto your computer.
The term comes from the a Greek story of the Trojan War, in which the Greeks give a giant wooden horse to their foes, the Trojans, ostensibly as a peace offering. But after the Trojans drag the horse inside their city walls, Greek soldiers sneak out of the horse's hollow belly and open the city gates, allowing their compatriots to pour in and capture Troy.

What happens when this Adware.Look2Me resides in your system? It will start to initiate lots and lots of popup which will pester you. Even for my surprise I saw mozilla firefox was not able to stop the popup. I use Mozilla and IE. In both popups started to shoot out.
Then in the process of getting rid of this one we came across two files which are many times suspected as viruses as alg.exe and svchost.exe. But they are not to know more about them here you can see

alg.exe = Application Layer Gateway Service
svchost.exe = Host process for services

Getting to conclusion that these are not malicious I went into search of some malware remover. In that process I found ewido anti-malware and Ad-Aware personal by lavasoft a freeware. But both found out that there is adware.look2me but both didn't remove it. But I got the clue that it is in guard.tmp file and cookies are affected by it.

Now I am left with google, some clues like guard.tmp, adware.look2me, popups. The default work around was to restore the OS as I am using WIN XP which gives that provision. But I may loose some info during that process. I need some workaround soon even a better fix is welcomed but where it is. Believing that this is not mission impossible and the world in hand(google) I found a forum in which they gave me the solution.

Check out the link l2mfix It was really cool and I am free of popups now.

Later my friend Mr.Jayaraj an Antivirus researcher working for facetime concern gave me the following links which are useful the situations I was.
"
http://x-raypc.com
http://spywareguide.com
http://vmware.com
free anti-spywares...Windows defender.(Microsofts anti-spyware product still in beta), Ad-Aware (lavasoft)

Atlast the thought in my mind is let me post this info so that my friends may get benefitted in future.

Graduation

Everyone in their life have their own list of important dates which they can'y forget. For all graduates there is one common date in mind which is the graduation day.
As a B.Tech graduate of Pondicherry Engineering College for me also March 14, 2006 is an unforgettable day in life where my classmates with whom I lived for 4 years assembled and got our degree Certificate.
Many of my friends got the Degree certificate before graduation day announcement itself. But even after obtaining the degree certificate everyone came for the function and resubmitted on the day of eve for getting it on the stage as a sign or privilege. I believe you can understand the spirit of my friends. Here something for your eyes. (I am using the link from my friend chandru's blog)

Health Is Wealth

What is water?

Highly informative wasn't it. But this water when is not taken in a purified form can even change your fate. Yes my friends, water is something which is the most lovely medium for any kind of germs, fungus, bacteria and viruses.
Many will say that they are taking very clean, purified and hygienic water but even then they are complain that the are affected by water transfered dieases. Where is gap?
We knowingly or unknowingly use lot of contaminated water.
Before having food we wash our hands - A good activity which should be incorporated from childhood. But what does washing hand means? Just show our hand in running water and come?
No! No!! not at all !!!.
Then what is the actual way. We have to use some antibacterial soaps and to wash our hands.
Ok fine now our hands are free but is that all ok?
No! Not at all.
What is the thing we have to do. The chairs, tables though seems clean are not clean.
After washing hands don't use your hand to touch anything other than food.
Ok another thing I see is my friends sometimes when pouring some liquid mixture over food they don't care about the drops which drip out the utensil and mixing with the food. Maintain some gap between the food and unclean utensils and outer portions of bowls.
