Techie world

April, summer time is approaching, its impossible having straight 8 hours sleep a day on this humid month. we started hearing stuff about the worm Conficker or Downad that scares million people because they are unaware what this worm is. Ttey say that will be triggered on the first of April, ohh well its April's fools day. but what is this worm, why people are curious about this?

DOWNAD aka Conficker is a worm, which originally appeared up in November 2008 that exploits a vulnerability in Windows MS08-067. in february, it added the ability to spread through network shares and via removable storage devices through the AutoRun function in Windows. it can also shuts down security services, blocks infected computers from connecting to security Web sites, and downloads a Trojan.

so to prevent this kind of nasty worm, please update your windows patches together with the latest virus pattern and engine of your antivirus software. this two should work together. also make your passwords a little complex for security purposes. stop making excuses why you disable the automatic update of windows, it will put your machine to compromise.

im really fascinated by this trial version of team viewer utility. its awesome when you do rdp or remote desktop. its similar to webex but its less complicated. im using this when i access my work machine at home ehheh.
