pTAM's - travelog

My December started with a real head spin; as from the 1st itself, my fifth year examination began!! However, I'm a student and i've faced enough examinations that this time was nothing special though that I can't deny it's sinfully tough!!

After the exam ended, on 10th december, 2008, i started off my journey to cover India in around a month. My bus arrived at 7:45pm that day and the start off flag was waved. To make it short, lemme give the timestamp and what i was doing:

11th Dec, 2008:
4:33 AM - Reached Guwahati ISBT.
7:38 AM - The Kamrup Express arrived. I was boarded at S4/41 & Romen at S4/44.

12th Dec, 2008:
7:49 AM - Arrived at Howrah Station, Kolkata.
9:01 AM - Went to Manipur Bhawan but din't get a room so checked out a Hotel at KYD street near Park Street. (we were on WMT 4967) 12:10 PM - Took our Brunch at the Hong Kong Restuarant. I'd Chinese Chop Suey... Saw a beautiful gal who look like the actor in the movie "When stranger Calls"(I forgot her name..was something like Isabelle!!)
Just after that, we went to the Indian museum there (was kinda borriiiingggg!!!!).
3:05 PM - Visited the Victoria Memorial Hall. Got tired after walking so longand so sitting on a wooden bench inside the hall resting for a while.
4:35 PM - Birla Planetorium: Show's suppose to start at 6:30 PM and tickets are to be available from 6:00PM. So we went to the St. Cathedral's Church instead & I found this stuffs on a chart inside the church-

WORLD 10 COMMANDMENTS

1) I'm the one & only 50 Cent. You shall have no other God before ME.

2) God mae GRASS, Man made 'BOOZE'. Which do you choose??

3) U shall use the F*** as a fullstop.

4) You shall always remember "the Saturday night" as a DISC NITE.

5) You shall "not" honour your Mom and Dad.

....I wonder what this is about!!

8:15 PM - After that we watched the planetorium show then reach back our room after a long tiring day. Having a light dinner at some fast food (Burger and Lassi).

Well this was the log about DAY 1 of my journey. More updates later...

How to reset my Joomla administrator password?

Joomla's admin username can be easily changed with a simple MySQL query. The most convenient way to manage the database is through the phpMyAdmin tool. Go to your cPanel and click on phpMyAdmin in the Databases box. (If you are not using cPanel or do not have phpMyAdmin, you can run the query directly for Joomla's database.)

Once in the phpMyAdmin select the Joomla's database from the drop-down menu at left. The page will refresh and the database's tables will be displayed on it. Open the SQL tab (look at the top navigation bar).

In the text field write the following SQL query:

UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` = MD5( 'new_password' ) WHERE `jos_users`.`username` = "admin" ;

"new_password" - replace this with the new password you wish to use.

"admin" - replace this if your admin username is different.

Once you are ready, click on the GO button to submit the query. If everything goes fine without errors, you should be able to login to Joomla with the new password.

Note: These instructions are valid both for Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.0.*.

How to remove protectfile.vbs virus

Yesterday one of my junior was trying to print a few stuffs he bought in his pen drive using my PC. He said he did scanned for viruses (am using AVG) but the scan showed no detection; however i got this protectfile.vbs virus on every drive of my PC. The most annoying thing it did was that, your CD or DVD drive will be ejected by itself. Whenever you try to open any of your drive by double clicking on it, a new window will be opened instead of the same window. This is quite an annoying thing (if you are using linux with default settings, you perhaps know about this!!).

The protectfile.vbs virus makes hidden, read-only multiple copies of itself in all the drives which are difficult to be detected. It can’t be deleted or renamed without disabling its “read-only” property. And lastly when we try to delete any one of the multiple copies, it uses an autorun.inf (executed automatically by windows) file to recreate itself from its copies in other drives.

So i tried googling for its remedy. I did found out a lot of ways to remove the virus but none was quite effective. I looked for the methods at thinkingpal, yahoo answers and the potpourri4u blog. By "effective", i meant,  u don't want to download stuffs to remove that file but you do want to remove it... better it be that u be able to remove it with minimum efforts!! So, here's the best method i can provide you to remove the virus. All the steps are similar to wat's available, but the important thing is that, many bloggers failed to mention step 5 (coz they perhaps never tried, but just COPY-PASTED these steps) which is a MUST:

1) Press Ctrl+Alt+Del (Task Manager)

2) In the Processes tab , Kill the processes : explorer and wscript.exe (if available)

3) Go to File> new task

4) Go to command Prompt (Enter cmd in Run) 

Go to the drive c:\

Type del /f/q/a protectfile.vbs

and del /f/q/a autorun.inf

Go to c:\windows\system32

and enter del /f/q/a secureguard.vbs

5) Now delete protectfile.vbs and autorun.inf by going manually to the root of each drive (use windows explorer tree form, do not double click on the drive icons)

If you don't see the file, go to folder options, select the view tab, uncheck the hide protected operating system files button then check the show hidden file button. Click apply and then OK.

6) Goto regedit (enter regedit in Run) and search for protectfile.vbs and delete all entries with this name.

7) Now search for the secureguard.vbs and modify it as in the path del only "c:\windows\system32\secureguard.vbs" and let the other part of the path be as it is.

8) Restart your system

A more simpler option maybe found at dirtycraft blog.

I hope that does it... and i'm sure, no pop ups will be shown at each restart of your PC!!
