Finally...

Finally got my pc back into healthy mode again...

WTD!! Eversince i installed the ZoneAlarm Security Suite, i had been having problems wif my pc... Hand itchy lor... Thought everything bundled together will be the best... Who knws, it cause my PC to hang whenever i surf IE... No choice, but to reformat...

21/06/2004 was the 1st time i reformatted since the last... Formatted 3 times in a day... Reason, it caught virus immediately once i pluck in my network cable... the 3rd time was so called "successful"... Worked for a week, and my applications malfunctioned... Hence leading to the 2nd format of my pc dated 28/06/2004... Everything working fine but like what i said once i pluck in my network cable, virus was detected via my updated virus definition files... Since it can be quarantine, i bo chap.... However, subsequently after that format, everyday the same worm come out and "greet" mi... Damn!! So sickening... Had tried removing it, but it was not working... Hence, i formatted again yesterday...

02/07/2004, third format within 1 solid month... Damn damn damn!! And it took mi 3 times in a day again... Both times, kena virus once i pluck in the cable... I realli was wondering, what the hell is happening?? I had nvr do formatting until it caught virus everytime when i pluck in my network cable... It can't be happening... I was so damn frustrated liao!! Imagine, u had been formatting ur pc for 2 consecutive weeks, and whenever u formatted and pluck in ur network cable, ur pc caught the virus... DAMN!! I even used the original XP CD that comes wif my pc... But it simply doesn't work... In the end, desperately i fought help from my ex-contractor...

After explained my problems to him.. He told mi that actually XP has loopholes, and nid to be patch before connection to the net... Which can only be done during the windows Update... But i simply can't connect my pc to the network, how m i going to download the patches?? Luckily, yah.. luckily, i have another pc @ home.. Downloaded all the critical patches and updates and got it installed and patched before installing the antivirus software... Was so damn worried last nite, he asked mi to pluck in my network cable to download the updates of the virus def files... I simply don dare... SERIOUSLY!! Coz, i can't help but think tat might lead to the 4th format for the day... In the end, he assure mi that if i kena again, he will do for mi... Hahahahaa..... So, i went ahead wif plucking in the cable... Kaoz!! And it is working... SO DAMN HAPPY MANN!!!

After downloaded and installed all available updates and did a thorough scan on my pc... It realli proof that it is back to healthy mode again... YIPPEE!!!
