Is IPhone Great?

IPhone recently launched by Apple on 29th June 2007, to be exact at 6pm in California, USA. It claims to be a new revolutionary phone which boasted to be the best mobile phone and ipod in the telecommunications market. And its features on multi touch sensitive screen interface. It means that there will be no physical button for you to press. It is all done via touch screen. You can browse internet, use as mobile phone, conferencing, call holding, call merging, caller ID, and integration with other cellular network features, check or send email and etc.

Unfortunately, it has quite number of limitations. If you are interested to find out the limitations, please click here.

After I have read the limitations, I think iPhone is not great after all. So what do you think?

Being Attacked By Malware imsmain.exe

Today, all of the sudden, my AVG Antivirus alert me that I got infected by malware imsmain.exe. I used AVG to quarantine it. It didnt work at all. All I could have said 'Holy shit!. and wondering how did this trojan came into my PC in the first place and now AVG unable to kill it as well. I was like in a panic situation.

I press Ctrl-Alt-Del to activate the Task Manager in Windows and end the process.. You know what? This virus, the moment you end the process, it will re-appear again in task manager. It is a very stubborn virus. I thought this time I really had to "eat banana" already.

After think for hours and search the internet without any clues, I decided to use another method to restore the system. So what I did was:

1. reboot the system.
2. press F8 to get the windows prompt and choose safe mode with network. It takes a while before boot into windows XP.
3. Once you are in safe mode, go to My Computer.
4. Locate for the directory called "Video ActiveX Access" and delete it. Make sure you clear your recycle bin as well.
5. Next, click start button and select run. Type in regedit.
6. Once the regedit is on, press ctrl-F. Key in imsmain.exe and enter. Once found the entries, delete the entries.
7. Once completed, reboot your computer in normal mode.
8. Run your antivirus,anti-malware ,anti-spy again to ensure there is no more infections.
