MALWARES

False Alarm
I recently encountered a false alarm stating that my pc is infected with virus and that i need to install the antivirus which i forgot the name. The icon at the lower right corner looks funny and does not look anything like the windows warning icon. Too many warnings, so i decided to search the product over the net and saw that its been causing too many problems to other people.

Malware Solution
SO that was actually a Malware, Malicious software (mal-ware) is a form of computer program designed with malicious intent. This intent may be to cause annoying pop-up ads with the hope you click on one and generate revenue, or forms of spyware and viruses that can be used to steal your identity or track your activities. ...

I removed the said malware by using malwarebytes' AntiMalware. After installing the software.

1. Restart your PC
2. Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears
3. Select Safe Mode
4. Start the Malwarebytes AntiMalware Program
5. Wait Until the scan is completed
6. Restart PC.

USB Storage Media Basics

USB Thumb Drive
Do you have a USB thumb drive with you? We get viruses in our usb once in a while these days so its really a head scratch if you bring it to another pc and start infecting others. Kinda shy when others say... "Hey you got a virus on your usb and now its infecting my pc...yikes." Not all antivirus could detect virus,malware,spyware and the like.

USB Basics 101
Here is what i usually do when i use my usb, i know its mind bugging specially if your in a hurry but prevent it and you'll be glad you just saved your pc's ( *ass ) oh...

Steps:
1. Before inserting your USB into the usb port, press and hold down SHIFT key so that your usb will not autorun some files, usually viruses.

2. If you don't know what drive your usb is, double click on My Computer and check your usb drive letter.

3. Click Start>run type "cmd" and then Enter, type the drive letter plus a colon. ex: ( e: or g: or ... ) then Enter

4. type "dir/a" then enter, look carefully at your files, search for unknown files, usually its autorun.inf,vbsxxx.dll, any file/s that your not familiar with.....do step 5.

5. A common virus would be the autorun.inf, so in order to delete it, type
" del autorun.inf /a /f ", Enter

6. type "dir/a" again and search for it if whether it still exist or not.

7. Do the same procedure for other files that you think is a virus, usually .exe extension

PLEASE READ
These steps would not assure you of a virus free USB, but using this routine would minimize it. Not all autorun.inf is a virus, its a file that is usually found in cds to make it auto run.Some viruses use the autorun.inf file to "auto-run" themselves in order to infect the pc. Hope i was able to explain it well. Feel free to comment so that i may be able to reply to your question.

ENGRENE
Engrene is a new map. A big map in which walking would really take time, hahaha. Try this new map and try flying the jet.

OPINIONS
I like the game, i give it thumbs up and rate it 4 (from 1 to 5). I hate it specially the cheaters in the game and also the lagging syndrome, of course, it's all about the internet connection. Hard to drive the chopper and plane if your not into plane emulators. Cheaters.....they really are the ones that ruins the game.
