how to delete autorun.inf from your flash drive

In this short tutorial, I’ll tell you how to delete autorun.inf from your flash drive. It’s very simple if you follow the step-by-step guide and all the command required.

First step, open command prompt. If you don’t know how to open command prompt, open Run in Start Menu, and type cmd. It’ll automatically run command prompt for you.

Make sure that the infected flash drive is connected to your computer, and memorize the letter assigned to the particular drive. Next, type the letter assigned to the drive. For example, if you pendrive is assigned for letter F, then type F: in the command prompt. Be extremely sure that you’d entered the correct letter!!

Next, check for file attribute in the desired drive. Type attrib in the command prompt. Then, the lists of all file with respective file attribute will be displayed. Search for autorun.inf in the lists.

Here are the lists of command line for attrib command:

r is for read only file

s is for system file

h is for hidden file

c is for compressed file

You can simply change the attribute of each file by altering the sign (+/-) before the letter r, s, h, c. Positive sign (+) will assign the attribute to the file, and negative sign (-) will remove the attribute from the file.

For instance, if you see that the attribute for autorun.inf as RSH, then, autorun.inf is a read-only, system and hidden file. All these three attributes will not allow any changes to be made to that file. Hence, you’ll have to change all the three attributes by typing this:

F:\>attrib –r –s –h autorun.inf

So now you have remove the file attribute, and you can delete the file by using the del command.

F:\>del autorun.inf

You have successfully removed the infected autorun.inf file. Don’t worry, new autorun.inf will be automatically created when you plug your flash drive into computer.

Please note that this method can also detect any other unwanted program that may have been secretly installed on your flash drive. Use the same method to change the file attribute, and then delete the file. If the unwanted program still running in your pc, kill the process, repeat the steps, and quickly remove your flash drive. Scan your computer afterwards.

Kindly leave comment if you have problems after these steps.

Echelon Conspiracy vs. Eagle Eye

echelon-conspiracy vs.eagle-eye

Haritu, sebelum pulang ke kampung pada cuti CNY, sempat tengok satu citer nih, dekat rumah kakak. Tajuknya Echelon Conspiracy.. Mula-mula nak tengok 24:Redemption, tapi tak jumpa DVD-nya.. So, layan jer la cerita nih. Nampak pon macam best jer.. haha

Nie la brief sinopsis tentang citer nih:

Cerita Echelon Conspiracy nie mainly tentang supercomputer yang telah dibina oleh kerajaan USA, untuk kegunaan intelligence, tapi supercomputer nie dah ‘beyond control’. Tujuan utama supercomputer nie hanyalah pada mulanya untuk memantau surveillance, record every digital trail of American citizens. Tp, supercomputer nie, codename Echelon dah jauh melampaui batas. Echelon sudah mula try untuk bertindak dengan sendirinya..

Echelon start menghantar msg kepada certain people, untuk membolehkannya melarikan diri dari kawalan US Government. Tengok lah cerita nie untuk taw ending-nya… Berbaloi jugak… Cerita nie pun agak best (Syafiq-recommended) XD

Apa yang agak unique adalah cerita nie hampir serupa dengan cerita Eagle Eye. Both movies involve a supercomputer, satu Echelon dan satu lagi apa ntah… Dua-dua pun sangat power sampai boleh buat decision sendiri… Both movies pasal advance computer technologies dan conflict antara man-and-machine..

Apa yang bezanya? Plot la..=).. Eagle Eye adalah tentang satu operasi apa ntah (dah lupa da) dan Echelon Conspiracy adalah tentang usaha Echelon nie untuk ---(tengok lah sendiri)

Apa yang menjadi persoalan disini adalah mungkinkah perkara sebegini akan terjadi. Well, judging from human capabilities to produce technologies like supercomputer (not at the same level as both in the movie), I personally think that in 10 years time, this technology would probably be produce and use. Lagipun, nowadays, researchers and engineers had developed a quantum computer, which is claimed to be the most powerful computer in the world. So, it is the matter of time before the actual ‘Echelon’ become a reality.

InsyaAllah, info tentang quantum computers and advance surveillance technologies akan di-post pada masa-masa akan datang…

Bermasalah memilih broadband yang sesuai??

Ouhh…. Sejak 2menjak nih, orang asyik cakap-cakap pasal broadband… Maner yang lagi bagus, maner yang tak.. Well, actually the decision is yours!!

Memilih broadband yang baik adalah bergantung kepada anda sendiri…. So, kalau anda seorang yang amat suka mendownload things from the internet, then go for streamyx, ataupown p1, kepada sesiapa yang tak mampu/tak ada streamyx coverage kat area korang..

Kenapa jangan pilih Maxis, Celcom, mahupun Digi?? Simple!! Of course la bandwith allocation!! Maxis, Celcom, dan Digi tidak menawarkan fair usage yang ‘menyelerakan’. p1 sangat bermurah hati memberikan fair usage yang amat tinggi, kalau nak compare dengan harga yang perlu anda bayar dalam sebulan. So, kalau anda seorang pengguna internet yang heavy, go for p1. There’s no use for the three if you are a heavy user.

Maxis amatlah recommended kepada sesiapa yang suka download bender yang ringan-ringan, seperti software dan lagu, ataupun video-video di youtube. Why?? Maxis offer fair usage yang kurang, tetapi agak berbaloi jika anda bukan seorang yang suka download sangat. Tapi, ader satu syarat jika anda mahu berpuas hati dengan Maxis. HANYA GUNAKAN MAXIS DI TEMPAT YANG ADA AT LEAST HSDPA CONNECTION. Maxis akan menjadi sangat laju di tempat-tempat yang ader HSDPA connection. Kalau hendak tahu sama ada tempat itu ada HSDPA connection atau tidak, gunakan cellphone anda (cellphone yang latest confirm ader/boleh detect HSDPA connection). So, check your connection!! Don’t come and complain about disconnection.. Of course there’ll be trouble if you’re using Maxis outside their HSDPA range.

Celcom pun offer package yang agak bagus. Namun, stau-satunya problem yang ‘pernah’ saya hadapi adalah Celcom share IP adress untuk certain areas!! So, goodbye Rapidshare, Megaupload and all free-download sites… Tapi anda masih boleh gunakan p2p, tapi anda hendaklah tahu bagaimana untuk tweak p2p softwares anda untuk speed download yang maximum..

Digi pun mengalami masalah yang samer dengan Celcom, anda akan menghadapi masalah download dengan free-download sites, kerana mereka akan block parallel download from the same IP. Unless kalau anda tahu untuk tukar IP anda, ataupun anda dapat mencari work-around untuk rule itu, better stick to Maxis or p1.

Ini hanyalah brief review on each ISP.. Tanyalah abang-abang atau kakak-kakak di booth menjual broadband untuk lebih kepastian…

So, each of the ISP ada kelemahan dan kelebihan. Apa yang saya prefer adalah p1, Maxis, Celcom dan Digi. Mungkin sebab saya adalah pengguna internet yang amat suka download softwares dan movies serta ANIME!!hahaha…. So, untuk students yang tak braper suka download apa-apa, ataupon hanya mahukan connection, belilah yang murah-murah sahaja

I’m currently using p1, and quite happy with it. Walaupun ada prob dengan connection…. thumbs up for p1!! (NIE BUKAN BIAS TAU!!)

p/s: Kalau memang dah tak ada duit, lepak jer kat kedai mamak… Dapat jugak connection!!hahahah…. Jangan download apa-apa sudah…

PHILIPS SHP2500

Baru jer lepas beli keyboard, beli lagi headset. Dekat tempat yang sama pulak tuh. Hahaha…. Aku raser retailer tue dah boleh kenal aku da.

So, nie la bender yang aku baru beli, on February 6. Headset Philips SHP 2500. Not introduced by one. I found this headset model after browsing through the ModernoPC websites. Recommended by a friend, I think this headset is worth to buy.

DSC00312

Fresh lagi tuh!! Hahahaha….. Tinggal tiga stok shaja lagi dekat Moderno. Abang dekat Moderno tue pown recommend kat aku headset nih. Of couse la, tengok aku nie bukan ader duet yang banyak sangat untuk beli headset ‘branded’ len yang berlambak lagi kat dalam kedai tuh. Kalau ada duit, nak jer aku beli headset yang lawa-lawa tuh. Problem sekarang nie duet jer. Takkanlah nak mintak duit lebih kat JPA untuk beli headset?? RIDICOLOUS XD…..

Berikut adalah spec headset nie yang ditulis dekat kotak:

  • Headphone type: Open design
  • Frequency range: 15-22000 Hz
  • Sensitivity: 100 dB
  • Maximum power input: 500mW

Unboxing Philips SHP2500

Box yang simple dan senang untuk dibuka. Box memang senang nak bukak, tapi susah giler nak cabut keluar headphone tuh dari dier punyer seal package. Mula-mula raser macam nak cabut jer terus, tapi memandangkan kesayangan yang teramat dengan box tersebut… tak jadi aku nak bukak ganas2..

DSC00315

Design yang amat simple, compared to steel series(hahaha….aku suker diorang nyer retractible mic!!!) dan yang seangkatan dengannya. Earshell yang sangat besar, dan comfy. So, pkai lama-lama pon takper, sungguh selesa, ibarat headphone tue takder kat situ…chewah..

DSC00318

The most interesting part adalah dier punyer cord length, Sangat panjang. 6m!!!wth. Tapi memang patut pon. Bro tue cakap cord length dier panjang sebab headphone ini di design untuk digunakan bersama dengan TV. Lantak la dengan cord panjang, aku peduli aper…

DSC00316

Sebut pasal audio quality…. ermm… haha.. Aku bukannya audio engineer untuk cakap pasal bender nih. Tapi, bagi aku, nieda best da. Bergegar-gegar sampai ke otak. Bergegar telinga aku denga lagu Empire state of min-Jay Z pkai headphone ni. Tapi, yang problem-nyer, bila pakai headphone nih, langsung x dengar dunia luar. Orang ketuk pintu ker, memang confirm tak dengar. Janganlah pakai headphone ini jika anda berseorangan di rumah, sangat berbahaya. hahaha

So, nak conclude kat sini yang headphone nie amatlah best!! Especially pada orang yang tidak mempunyai duit, tapi still look for a good headset. Harga pown bawah 100,so memanglah berbaloi. Kalau anda ada duit lebih, yang tak taw nak gune, ataupon berlambak2, belilah bender nih-

DT770PRO

Smart DT770

speedlink-SL-8795

Medusa 5.1

expensive-headphones-sennheiser

sienheiser aper ntah: harga $15000. Apa yang special adalah bender nie cuma ada 300 sahaja di dunia!!!. HAND-MADE!!! Memang special

expensive-headphones

ULTRASONE Edition 9 Limited Edition S-Logic Natural Surround Sound Headphones. memang mahal giler nak mampos. Surround system dekat headphone. Memang best.

Sorry kepada peminat Razer. Sebab agak ramai jugak orang yang kutuk Razer Barracuda. So, malas la nak letak Razer Barracuda dalam nih.

Ha, bagi sesiapa yang terasa nak beli headphone di luar sana, tak perlulah anda beli yang mahal2. Redha jer dengan yang biasa2. Philips nie pown dah good enough for me. So, why go for high end headphone. Unless kalau anda seorang audio engineer ataupon anda seorang yang audiophile.

Kesian pulak aku kat headphone lama ku… Patah dihempap buku…hahaha… Siot punyer cleaner

few tips on MSpowerpoint

OK, I've seen enough presentation, and most of them were not properly presented, especially the slides. So now, I would like to share some tips to make a good slides:

  1. If possible, don't put in too much words!! Banyak orang suka penuhkan slides mereka dengan words, yang kebanyakannya tak penting pown. Kalau hendak isi juga, please highlight important words, so that the viewers can quickly understand what you're trying to say,even without reading the whole slides.
  2. Nak guna software yang ganas2? Silakan. Tapi sebelum itu sila pastikan anda betul-betul sudah masak dengan software itu-it's happened to me before...XD
  3. Gambar? Jangan penuhkan slides anda dengan gambar yang sangat melampau banyaknya. Avoid filling the background with picture, because it'll affect your words on the slides. Try to edit the picture before you put it in your slides. Most of the time, the pic will be too bright, or too dark, makes the viewers barely see your writing.
  4. Kalau rasa ada banyak kawasan-kawasan kosong di slide anda, isi dengan gambar. But don't ever placed the picture closed to the words. This'll avoid distraction when the viewers read them.
  5. If you have a big diagram, put it in another slide. Don't shrink it!!
So, happy presenting. Hopefully my advice'll benefits you in many ways. This may sound unpractical for certain presentation, but you can use your creativity to make it more interesting.

Mungkin ada sesetengah orang yang tidak bersetuju, tapi inilah cara yang paling baik untuk attract attention orang. Banyak presentation yang main buat camtue jer. At least think for your audience. No offence, but sakit mata aku tengok orang yang buat slides dengan background yang terang. Fikir logik sikit. Orang tengok presentation anda di projector, bukan di komputer anda. Mungkin bagi anda, slide itu sudah cukup lawa/menarik, tapi cuba fikir balik kalau and project slide itu. Most projectors, especially the one that's used in colleges, does not support high resolution output. And also, some of them may have a problem with brightness contrasts ratio. So, think in low-res. Be smart!!

Best of luck

Kim Petras!!!must watch


This is the video of Kim Petras, the youngest person ever to undergo a complete gender reassignment surgery. She is born as a male, but at the age of 2, she insisted to her parents that she was a girl. She started using hormonal pill at age of 11, before puberty. Because of that, she didn't develop male physical characteristics, such as beard and she also have a girlish voice. Her will to be female was so strong. She came for international support, since German does not allow any gender reassignment surgery for people below 18. She updated her status in her blog the moment after the surgery, and she was said to be happy with the results.

Why she want to become female? It is a very subjective question, since different people have different perspective on this topic. For trans-gender, they believed that they were born into a wrong body. Is that their only reason? For most of us, it is against the norm to have this type of believe.

Some people raise plenty of question regarding this decision. At this young age, and to have a full gender reassignment surgery, was a risk not worth to be taken. However, most experts believe that people who have gone through this procedure were unlikely to change their mind in the future.

I don't have the right to complain, but I still think that it is wrong to have this surgery. For Muslim, we were warn not to take any action that could change ourselves physically. Under any circumstances, we MUST accept whatever God had, and will give us.

Honestly, what is your first impression when you watch her face. Certainly you'll tell the person is female. So now, since you have know she was used to be a boy, what would you think?
