I found out the hard way of not making an effort to learn about computer since I started using PC more than 20 years ago. All I know is to switch on and used the PC for filing my news reports, surf the internet and switching it off. Other than that, I sought assistance from others.
Two days ago, as I was surfing, a dialog box appeared on my screen, among others, it warned that `your computer is copying automatically files in your system...' but I did not take a heed of it.When it continuously appeared, I decided to be clever by following some of the instructions flashing on the screen.
Out came a dialog box telling my that more than 300 files in my computer were infected by worms/virus. It seems that the worms/virus originated from a network with nice looking files. It disguises as a file that indicated a Spyware was a video of beautiful actress which I had clicked on earlier.
These caused by computer to crash and I was `out of action' for the whole of Tuesday evening and yesterday. Last night I sought the assistance a friend to do the necessary. Still I do not understand computer. When she said `I will have to re-format your computer', I just said `Yes'. Yes, my PC now back to normal but everything I stored for the last two years were gone, gone forever.
It was identifed that the virus that attack my computer was I-Worm/VB.IN.
It is time for me to learn `what is a computer'

me too, i need to learn. what i do now to protect my computer is to make sure the anti-virus software is up-to-date and to immediately renew its subscription once it expires.
i also transfer all important files, expecially photos, onto cds. but need to scan them for virus first before the transfer.

Hi, Mr. Joseph Bingkasan!
I found your blog when I sibuk-sibuk searching for one of Sabah's Assemblyman.
Saya kenal dengan Mr. Joseph. I always saw and heard about your name everywhere.
I was a journalist too. I was working with Dr. Jeffry Kitingan (Berita Sabah) for about three years, before I went to one of national TV station.
Saya happy jumpa blog ini :-)

I had learned a lesson, never to take everything for granted. only a minute ago my sister-in-law asked for a copy of a document which was one of those lost, eaten by the worms.
