SoWar.vbs

Posted by jill_taz8 at 10:26 PM on October 9, 2008.

Okay, so the past month has been a blissful blur (quite redundant) of case presentations, research proposals and duties. Due to the huge number of requirements, several which are group work, USBs are used often. A USB can travel from one laptop to another, even to the dreaded public internet shop. Most often, this results in your usb's infection.

One of the more prevalent viruses I have seen on campus and at the nearby computer shops is the sowar.vbs virus.

So what does this virus do to your computer?

- it changes the name of the Internet Explorer Browser to SoWar Browser (or something similiar)

- it also changes your homepage to redtube.com (a porn site) [you can't change this manually w/o removing the virus first, as far a I know]

- it DISABLES you from accessing the TASK MANAGER and REGISTRY EDITOR. This of course makes it a bit harder to remove the virus.

- it reruns itself when you restart the PC

So how do you get rid of this virus permanently?

METHOD 1

I found this on a site, but this was not the method I used. I'll place it here so you can check out if it works for you.

It is a virus to remove it follow:
1. load command prompt
2. go to root directory (eg. C
3. Type: attrib -s -h -r -a autorun.inf, , then press Enter
4. Type: dir then press Enter. This will display if Autorun file is present.
5. Type: del autorun.inf, , then press Enter
6. Search for and remove sowar.vbs, SysRes.vbs, Cool USEP Scandal.vbs
7. You may need to change the directory to root of C:, type: cd \, then press Enter
8. Type: attrib sowar.vbs.* -s -h -r -a, then press Enter
9. Type: dir /s sowar.vbs, then press Enter
10. If the file is present, type: del sowar.vbs, then press Enter
11. Repeat the above commands for each drive on your computer including your flash/usb drive.
12. Repeat these instructions to search for and delete SysRes.vbs, Cool USEP Scandal.vbs on each drive if present.
13. Exit the command prompt by typing “exit” and reboot your computer.

 

METHOD 2

Okay, so this is what I did. (Thanks to the mighty help of the internet )

*Note: This is a compilation of various methods I found on the web I didn't find out about this by myself.

 

1.) Go to My Computer or My Documents and go to the Tools tab, then go to Folder Options. Under the View Tab make sure that Show hidden files is checked. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files

2.) Open drive (By right click and select Open/Explore. DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK!) Delete autorun.inf and SoWar.vbs (Press Shift+Delete) in all drives including external drives. Open folder C:\WINDOWS to delete SoWar.vbs inside (press Shift+Delete )

3.) Download Process Explorer here. Once you have downloaded and run process explorer, search for the process wscript.exe. TERMINATE this process.

4.) Download RRT.exe. This is a.k.a. Remove Restrictions Tool. Run it and remove the restrictions on Registry Tools and Task Manager by checking them and clicking Apply/Remove

5.) Now, go to your Start menu and click Run. Type in regedit or regedit.exe

 

1. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows --> Current Version --> Run to delete SoWar.vbs(press Delete key on keyboard)
2. Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Internet Explorer --> Main to delete Window Title “SoWar Browser” (press Delete key on keyboard)

 

6.) Since this virus replicates itself upon start-up you should go to Run (again) then type msconfig. In the Startup tab, disable or remove Sowar.vbs

 

7.) Restart your computer. Update your antivirus, antimalware/spyware program, then do a full scan.

 

Lastly, always remember that prevention is better than cure.

 

Hope this helps. If you have any problems, feel free to interchange the sequencing. of the steps.

Live blogging? What the hell.

Haven't slept. Buti nag-brewed coffee ako.

Ka-YM ko siya ngayon. Siya ang pinag-uusapan.

Pagod na ako. Literal at lablayp sense.

Pero parang html handcoding na hindi ko mabitawan.

 

Haaay Rach. Puta. When will you ever learn...

Sabagay, after April 2009, you're off to a new phase. Why don't you savor the present? Haha!

....

Tanga. When will you ever learn. Anong isasavor sa present? Tanga ka?

Pet Peeve

Posted by jill_taz8 at 11:32 PM on September 30, 2008.

After a long hiatus from blogging, I couldn't help just talking about how much I dislike how some people like to pose with their alcoholic beverages in tow. It's fine when you take a picture of yourself drinking a shot or two, but to just grab a bottle of brandy or tequila as a 'prop' for a photo just gets me so annoyed. To me it's so poseur, even though I'm sure not all people who do that want to exclaim "Hey look at me, I'm drinking liquor!!!". It just comes off that way. To me, at least.

 

Okay, I'm ranting.

 

BTW, I have several friends who do the aforementioned 'pose-with-an-alcoholic-beverage' thing. It's driving me nuts!!!

I've been twisting and turning in a space that's too small. I've been drawing the line and watching it fall. You've been closing me in , closing the space in my heart, watching us fading and watching it all fall apart

Well I can't explain why it's not enough 'cause I gave it all to you. And if you leave me now---oh just leave me now---it's the better thing to do. It's time to surrender, it's been too long pretending. There's no use in trying when the pieces don't fit anymore.

You pulled me under so I had to give in. Such a beautiful mess that's breaking my skin. Well I'll hide all the bruises; I'll hide all the damage that's done, but I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone.

Oh, don't misunderstand how I feel, because I've tried---yes I've tried!---still I don't know why. No, I don't know why.

Why I can't explain why it's not enough 'cause I gave it all to you. And if you leave me now---oh just leave me now---it's the better thing to do. It's time to surrender, it's been too long pretending. There's no use in trying when the pieces don't fit anymore.

-------------------------------------------

It was torture.
You talking about him.
Me thinking about you.
The rain. It's supposed to bring good memories, you said. You miss him. You hate to admit it.
The rain. It's supposed to bring good memories, I thought. I want you. I hate to admit it.
I could've cried and hid through the raindrops. But I had to hold it back. You were beside me, after all.

And it was torture.

I've been trying my best to keep my feet on the edge.
I've been trying my damnest not to fall.

And then, you.
You're busy trying to make him catch your fall.

I'm still here on the edge, but it's where it hurts the most.

I Won't Say I Love You - Hercules OST

[Meg:]
If there's a prize for rotten judgement, I guess I've already won that.
No man is worth the aggravation. That's ancient history, been there, done that!

[Muses:]
Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'?  He's the Earth and heaven to you!
Try to keep it hidden...honey, we can see right through you.
Girl, ya can't conceal it. We know how ya feel and who you're thinking of

[Meg:] No chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no
[Muses:] You swoon, you sigh, why deny it? Uh-oh.
[Meg:] It's too cliche! I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned its lesson. It feels so good when you start out.
My head is screaming "Get a grip, girl, unless you're dying to cry your heart out!"

[Muses:]
You keep on denying who you are and how you're feeling.
Baby, we're not buying. Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling.
Face it like a grown-up; when ya gonna own up, that ya got, got, got it bad.

[Meg:] No chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no
[Muses:] Give up, give in, check the grin: you're in love
[Meg:] This scene won't play, I won't say I'm in love
[Muses:] You're doin flips. Read our lips: you're in love

[Meg:] You're way off base. I won't say it
Get off my case! I won't say it
[Muses:] Girl, don't be proud. It's O.K. you're in love

[Meg:]
Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love

-------------------------------------------

We were singing this song a few hours ago.
You sang it for him.
I actually sang it for you.

 

Damn you! If you hate that feeling, I hate this feeling more!

Restless

Posted by wilfred at 01:00 PM on September 24, 2008 in Everyday Life.

i have a question?
what would you guys feel
if your fighting with your life.. risking everything that you have
and the person you are fighting for just gave up on you?

... that happened to me ...

all of the hardships and all the years of fighting went down the drain..
life sucks.. but its reality..

you can only fight and risk everything for someone at some point..
then he/she will give up eventually..

oh... life's a bitch.. a bitch we must endure..

now that eveything has ended..
i am free..
but my freedom comes with a cost..
its really hard to go back and pick up the missing pieces of your self..
lalu na, if you dont wanna go back..

i think.. ill just suck the tequilla, and try to have fun..

if someone wants to join me,
im always @ eme

Why do I keep listening to this song anyway? It's not helping!

Posted by armorhues at 05:25 AM on September 18, 2008.

This should be this season's song blog, but I'm not that stupid to post it in Multiply.

Mika is just love. <3

 

Do I attract you? Do I repulse you with my queasy smile? Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty? Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome, I could be loathsome. Guess I'm a little bit shy. Why don't you like me? Why dont you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly, but all her looks were too sad. So I tried a little Freddie...I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky, I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like. Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more.

Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me? Why don't you walk out the door?

How can I help it, how can I help it, how can I help what you think? Hello my baby, hello my baby, putting my life on the brink. 

Why dont you like me? Why dont you like me? Why dont you like yourself? Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

Say what you want to satisfy yourself, but you only want what everybody else says you should want.

 

Well, of course I know the answer. Six words nga lang ang kailangan niya di ba?

"I'm not that kind of person."

TANGINA. Kahit ilang itim na polo pa ang isuot ko, kahit ilang menthol candy pa ang ibigay ko sa kanya, talbog na ako dun.

Of course, if I was really bent on it, I believe I could work my way around that statement and get a toaster from Etheridge in the process, but I've grown tired of that process just to satisfy my, ehem, vested interests.

 

And I feel so genuinely sad for myself.
