As I opened my computer, there was an alert message saying that there is a malware in the computer and the Windows Defender is taking action to remove it. When I checked the Windows Defender, it showed in its History tab that there are two malwares and both are quarantined. I hurriedly removed them both under Quarantined items and the All detected items and was happy about my action. But when I started the computer in the next session, the alert message came on again as the computer is affected with malware! I Googled and found the first one, Win32/Gamarue.gen!A to be a worm that replicates itself and infects all computers it gets access to. Yes, I got it through my USB that I used to get a print-out from a computer centre! Microsoft website simply advised me to remove it by its Windows Defender Antivirus software, that hadn't worked in my case. Then, I accessed a blog in Malware Tips.Com that came into rescue of my computer from this nuisance, the worm infection. I clicked the Open menu in the right corner of the Mozilla Firefox and clicked on the Open Help Menu. It led me to a list. In the list clicked on Troubleshooting Information. On a box that displayed, Refresh Firefox, I clicked. That's all. The browser was refreshed. Next time when I started the computer, this worm didn't return to infect my computer! But what about the other malware that was first detected by my Windows Defender? That is to be my next post's content - content of discussion only!
My desktop computer behaved differently: it refused to boot normally; restarted often before its starting up. Then, in a day it refused to open up with the following display on its monitor before its opening up:
The firmware has detected that a CMOS battery failure occurred.
Press the Enter key to continue.
On Googling with the above sentence and the word, CMOS, I found out that there will be also an error in date and time display due to low voltage from CMOS battery. And that that CMOS battery has to be replaced with a new one to restore the computer to its normal functioning. I found the date and time malfunctioning as said! I adjusted it to the correct displaying. But the malfunctioning continued! The next day, the computer refused to start showing that same display on the screen. I rushed to the stores and bought this large-sized button cell, the so called CMOS battery and replaced the old one with it. And now hurray! The computer booted and started up. I adjusted the clock to the correct date and time. There was no malfunctioning of the clock too!
Reliance Jio, the Indian broadband company launched its free 4G Data and Voice services over VoLTE on 4th September 2016 and extended it up to 31st March 2017. Now almost all the people of India know about the name, 'Jio'! Many have bought the SIM card for free and became addicted to its services.
When this Internet service is availed with Jio, my live visitor traffic viewer, Feedjit, showed my visiting to this blog as from Jakarta, Jakarta Raya! I wonder whether the free Jio users are being spied from an another country other than India!
Now the free offer date is going to end. What will the free Jio users do? Shall they leave the Jio and remain Internet-free or will they become addicted to Jio services in April 1st 2017? To know how many are addicted to its free services, Jio has now announced its 'Jio Prime Membership.' With this, the free service-addicted persons have (to become addicted again) to become a member by spending a token money of Rs.99!
After becoming an (addicted) member, they shall have to shell out Rs.19 (for 1 day of further addiction) through Rs.303 (28 days addiction, then extended for each of 28 days as per one's addicted state) to be in this 'free' inebriated state of remaining in the free Jio Internet service! But this is only up to 31 March 2018! To remain permanently addicted in Jio service for the next whole year (360 days), one shall have to shell out Rs.9999 and continue in this unlimited fun from Jio!
