I just clicked the firefox shortcut on my desktop like I do any other day, when suddenly, a message box appears :
“USE INTERNET EXPLORER YOU DOPE,I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE `r OR ELSE…”
Another virus which wants to waste my time. I didn’t think hackers would write a virus to attack firefox. Anyway, I used Internet Explorer (IE means Internet Explorer) and typed in www.orkut.com
Yet another message “ORKUT IS BANNED,Orkut is banned you fool`,The administrators didnt write this program guess who did??`r`r MUHAHAHA!!”
What about www.youtube.com ? That is banned too !!!
It’s just a worm, a virus or a trojan or whatever malicious hacker or craker program or script it is. Wrtitten is VBScript programming labguage by a crazy rascal who deserves to rot in his/her grave for disabling Firefox of all softwares !
How to remove the Orkut and Firefox and Youtube banning virus ?
Simple.
First press Control-Alt-Delete (Ctrl-Alt-Del is called the three finger exercise in Windows)
There Click Processes , then click User Name to arrange according to users.
Now, look for svchost.exe run by User name “user” or “admin” or “your computer name” There will be two of them. Right click and end both the svchost.exe processes where the User Name is NOT “SYSTEM” or “NETWORK SERVICE” or “LOCAL SERVICE” Only where the user name is “USER” or “ADMIN” or “ADMINISTRATOR” or “your name”
Next Click Start > Run > Type cmd in the box and press enter (Just get the Command Prompt of DOS - C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe)
There in the black Command Line, type “ cd \ ” and press Enter
It has to change to C:\>
Next, type attrib -s -r -h heap41a /s /d and press Enter
Then Open C: on My computer and delete the folderheap41a ie C:\heap41a
Then remove C:\heap41a\svchost.exe shortcut from C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (Or Start > All Programs >Startup)
That’s all
Then clean the pen drive
Cleaning the pen drive :
First make sure that the computer is clean (all viruses have been removed)
Plug in the pen driv, but make sure YOU DON’T DOUBLE CLICK on the pen drive icon in My Computer
Open My Computer . Right Click on the pen drive.
Click Search from the menu that appears ( Auto, Autoplay, Open (O), all belong to the virus and clicking any of them will infect the computer with the virus again.
In Search All files and folders
Type ” *.exe ” (without the ” “) in the first box (all or part of the filename)
Click More advanced options justabove the search button
Tick Search hidden files and folders
Click Search button
In the files that come in the search results, look for files of the TypeApplication with the icon of a folder
These .exe files are trying to disguise themselves as folders to fool you into clicking them, so the most probably are viruses !!!
Delete them (make a backup copy if required) and check the pen drive again.
A type of USB pen / flash drive virus is a trojan worm made with VB Script. It gives an Autoplay or “Auto” option on all drives in the computer, affecting C: , D: , E: and so on.
It changes the Internet Explorer homepage to http://www.lastchaos.in.th/
And puts “Hacked by MOOzilla” in the Internet Explorer title
So, it comes like “Google -Hacked by MOOzilla” Or MySpace - Hacked by MOOzilla
This is in addition to affecting the pen drive (USB flash drive) with the same “autorun” and “autoplay”
To remove the infected files, you don’t have to send it to authorised service personnel or buy a new USB drive !
You just have to delete the “autorun.inf” and “IISdll.dll.vbs” files from the USB drive and the hard drive and kill the process “wscript.exe”
When you press Alt-Ctrl-Del (The three finger exercise - Alter + Control + Delete ), the Task Manager runs and shows you the programs which are running. Click “Processes” in the Task Manager.
Select “wscript.exe” and “End Process”
wscript.exe is not a virus, but a normal windows scripting host file which runs several Windows scripts or functions written in VB Script. But the virus is also programmmed in VBScript and so it has to be stopped but not deleted.
Right click and open the drives and delete the files “autorun.inf” and “IISdll.dll.vbs”
These files may not be visible (they are set as hidden files and system files) , so if you don’t see them,
take Tools > Folder Options… > View
Choose “Show hidden files and folders” in “Hidden files and folders”
And remove the tick from “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)”
Now, when you go to the drives ( ALWAYS RIGHT CLICK AND OPEN - NEVER DOUBLE CLICK ),
you can see and delete the files autorun.inf and IISdll.dll.vbs
There is also a copy of the virus in the Windows directory “C:/Windows/iidDLL.dll.vbs” in most computers. Or just do this del %windir%\IISDLL.dll.vbs (It deltes the virus from your windows folder)
Then you should clear the registry too at these places.
The Taj Mahal, tomb of Mumtaz Mahal built by her widowed husband (not actually widowed - he had several other wives though he loved Mumtaz the most) who wanted to build a tomb for his favourite wife and love of his life that the world had never seen before and would never see again.
A R Rahman composed this Taj Anthem to inspire Indians (and all lovers passionate about the Tahj) to vote for the Taz Mahal .
The audio version is available as an mp3 file here :
Once upon a time, in a mystical land called India, a mughal emperor called Shah Jahan lived with his beloved beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Shahbuddin Mohammed Shah Jahan (also spelled Shah Jehan, Shahjehan. Persian: شاه جهان), January 5, 1592 – January 22, 1666) was the ruler of the Mughal Empire in the Indian Subcontinent from 1628 until 1658. The name Shah Jahan comes from Persian meaning “King of the World.” He was the fifth Mughal ruler after Babur, Humayun, Akbar, and Jahangir.
The Mugal King did not marry his queen just for her beauty. She was intelligent and clever too. A smart choice by the king who had other wives too, most of them who were just “dumb gals”. There was no insurance that their wedding would last - after all, he was Emperor of India. For kings like these marriages were just another entertainment. No favours could be expected just by the wedding ring on her finger.
But the bond was strong - the love and passion was stronger than what we see in today’s films.
Mumtāz Mahal (Persian: ممتاز محل; pronunciation /mumtɑːz mɛhɛl/; meaning “beloved ornament of the palace”) is the common nickname of Arjumand Banu Begum, who was born in April, 1593 in Agra, India. Her father was the Persian noble Abdul Hasan Asaf Khan, the brother of Nur Jehan who subsequently became the wife of the emperor Jahangir, and she was religiously a Muslim. She was married at the age of 19, on May 10, 1612, to Prince Khurram, who would later ascend the Peacock Throne as Mughal emperor Shah Jahan I. She was his second wife, and became his favorite. She died on June 17, 1631 in Burhanpur in the Deccan (now in Madhya Pradesh) during the birth of her fourteenth child, a daughter named Gauhara Begum. Her body was buried in the Taj Mahal in Agra.
Here is a list of Shah Jahan’s wives :
Akbarabadi Mahal (d.1677)
Kandahari Mahal (b. 1594, m.1609)
Mumtaz Mahal (b.1593, m.1612, d.1631)
Hasina Begum Sahiba (m.1617)
Muti Begum Sahiba
Qudsia Begum Sahiba
Fatehpuri Mahal Sahiba (d. after 1666)
Sarhindi Begum Sahiba (d. after 1650)
Shri Manbhavathi Baiji Lall Sahiba (m. 1626)
Lilavati Baiji Lall Sahiba (m. before 1627)
Not much is known about her except that she was a woman of legendary beauty and virtue, who had a very deep and loving marriage with Shah Jahan. Even during her lifetime, poets would extol her beauty, gracefulness and compassion. Mumtaz Mahal was Shah Jahan’s trusted companion, travelling with him all over the Mughal empire. He trusted her so far that he even gave her his imperial seal, the Muhr Uzah. She was a big influence on him, apparently often intervening on behalf of the poor and destitute. But she also enjoyed watching elephant and combat fights performed for the court.
Together they had fourteen children, seven of whom died at birth or at a very young age.
Shahzada Sultan Murad Baksh (September 8, 1624 - December 14, 1661)
Shahzada Sultan Luftallah (November 4, 1626 - May 14, 1628)
Shahzada Sultan Daulat Afza (May 9, 1628 - ?)
Shahzadi Husnara Begum (April 23, 1630 - ?)
Shahzadi Gauhara Begum (June 17, 1631 - 1706)
Mumtaz Mahal died during childbirth, while accompanying Shah Jahan during a war campaign against the Lodi lords in the Deccan. Legend has it that on her deathbed, her last wish to the emperor was for a symbol or a monument to their love. She also asked her husband not to marry anyone. Inconsolable, the emperor promised immediately. Apparently after her death, Shah Jahan went into secluded mourning for a year. When he appeared again his hair had turned white, his back was bent and his face worn. He kept his promise and built her tomb, the Taj Mahal, in Agra. It took more than 20 years to finish it. Today, it stands as the ultimate monument to love, and an homage to her beauty and life.
Now, a new list of seven wonders is being created - and the Taj Mahal is not in the top 7 !
Only you can bring the Tahj - the monument of love and passion - a dying queen’s last wish - back to the list. By the power vested in you as a citizen of the free world, vote for the Taj Mahal !
Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto, Japan (749 - 1855) Clarity and Serenity

Statue of Liberty, New York, USA (1886) Generosity and Hope
Sydney Opera House, Australia (1954 - 73) Abstraction and Creativity

So, vote for the Taj Mahal , and some wonders from the absolute bottom of the list and top 2 or 3 ranks also. This will make sure that the Taj will get a place atleast in 6th position (only 6 positions can be voted as one position is reserved for the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt)
