Using antivirus, is it really necessary?

Is it really necessary. Honestly, for me, I don't really use the antivirus. I do have one installed in my computer but seriously, I never really get my antivirus updated, inspite of me being an IT student. 


I used to buy expensive antivirus like Bitdefender and Kaspersky. But recently, I don't know why lah I don't have any interest in buying antivirus anymore. Keeping only the free one in the computer hahaa.


Well actually, honestly, my own opinion, we don't really necessary to have a powerful antivirus installed in the computer. Definition for antivirus, protective software design to defend computer against malicious software. Malicious software are those viruses, worms, trojan horses blah3. Well, here, you should see, you actually can't depend on these antiviruses to protect your computer. They're not actually that powerful to "defend" your computer from being attack by those malware. Because everyday, new pattern of viruses is being invented and these antiviruses can't really cover up for all viruses. Most of them can only clean up the mess that being made by the viruses.


What the most important thing in my opinion when protecting the computer? The human, you, yourself, is the important entity in protecting the computer. 


As far as I used the free antivirus, which I don't update frequently, and also I don't scan my computer everyday, alhamdulillah, the computer has never been attack by malware recently. Because I took the precaution myself. 


To prevent these stupid malwares to infect your computer, you should set couple of rules for your computer. As for me, first thing is, I never let any unknown devices to be connected with my lappy. Before people can actually plug in their thumb drive, I will make sure they don't have any viruses in the thumb drive. I can count with my hands the number of devices that have been to my lappy so far. I just won't let any random devices with random viruses in the device destructing my laptop.


Well, secondly, NEVER EVER try to CLICK on any RANDOM LINKS on the internet. Important rules ya know. Especially those already shorten links that you don't know the source. Well, for example http://bit.ly/wIRJzH. Don't click on my example link, mind you. They might lead to anywhere that we don't even know. These kind of links, we can never know where it will lead to, especially for the normal internet user. Some will simply click on the link and poof! There goes the viruses being spread out everywhere. Maybe your facebook, maybe even your own computer. Mind you, worms maybe can travel by itself, but virus, they don't execute by their own selves. They need humans help in order to execute and spread to other computers. So it is actually your own fault (or maybe others) if there's a virus infecting the computer. Do you even realise that?


As for the random software, I admit, sometimes I do download random software. Random software is actually dangerous, for your info. Cuz they might be the trojan horse. Know what trojan horse is? People who have basic IT knowledge should know what trojan horse is. The trojan horse disguise itself as a useful software but it turn out to be actually a malicious software. Have you ever encounter it? Probably yes but you don't even realised it. Yeah, back to my story. I do download random softwares. Because as an IT student, sometimes we need to download softwares in order to fulfill the assignments that are given by the lecturers. And also sometimes, no, most of the times, I download games hahaa. Mostly via torrent. As for me, tips to download random software is to check the source of the software. For our assignments, mostly we download software from sourceforge.net. A trustable website, I can assure you. And for the games, most of them are from random sources. But actually you can check the size of the file. If the file looks suspicious, just don't execute it. And also my game files mostly are downloaded from trusted game cracker such as demonoid.


These are the things that I did for the internet precaution. I think I did something else too but my brain won't work at this time. Nevermind that. Ethically, I am wrong to suggest to you not to use any antivirus. But most the paid antivirus, they don't work as wonderly as you thought. Geez, you only gave them more money but in the same time, you don't even know that they might be the one that invented the virus just to make more money for their company. I suggest you to use the free one. They don't suck up your money but still protecting your computer. As simple as that. You should be the one who take the action in protecting your computer. Because most the computers have already built-in firewall. You don't really need to worry about intruders. So now, it's your job to protect your computer from malicious software.

That was sad, and pitiful

I encountered an interesting scene just now at Kenny Rogers yang kat Amcorp Mall. As usual, kalau pergi sana mesti amek yang quarter meal with all the side dishes. Then lepas pilih makanan, aku pun nak pilih lah air. Dok belek2 menu, rasa macam nak minum something yang creamy. So aku pun pilih laa "Caramel Chocolate Ice Blends". So I told the waiter, a guy, that I want to have mende alah tu. Lepas aku cakap, dia pun dok lah catat amende tah. So I was like, he got it, no need me to repeat it. But then, suddenly, waiter tu tanya aku soalan, "Aaa, ni nak sejuk ke atau nak yang panas?". Errkkk, terkesima aku sebentar. So this time, I thought that the waiter didn't get my order. So aku pun repeat lah apa yang aku nak. "Saya nak Caramel Chocolate Ice Blends satu", dengan muka innocent aku. Then pastu, once again dia repeat, "Nak panas ke nak yang sejuk". Dengan muka blur dan ternganga aku, aku pandang muka akak aku dengan memberi pandangan wtf pada beliau. Aku ulang lagi pesanan aku then dia ulang lagi soalan dia. Makin lah aku pelik. Then baru lah akak aku menyampuk, "Nak yang sejuk".


Kalau korang perhati betul2 lah kan, aku order "Caramel Chocolate Ice Blends" which normally people will understand that "Ice Blends" supposedly to be cold. No such thing as "hot ice". Itu yang menyebabkan aku blur seketika. But I was like, ok2 takpe.


Then pastu, encountered lagi satu scene. Kali ni akak aku pulak. Masa taking order, akak aku pesan lah 1/2 chicken yang takde set tu. Just chicken, kira ala carte laa. Kitorang ingat dia paham laa. Rupa2 nya dia tak paham. Lepas dia amek order tuh, hantar kat kaunter, dia datang balik kat kitorang. Dia tanya kitorang, "Kak, yang tadi pesan ayam tu, akak tak pilih side dishes lagi laa". Since akak aku memang pesan ayam je, dia kata, "Tadi tu nak yang ala carte". Then dia kata lagi, "Tadi tu tak pilih side dishes lagi". Baru kitorang sedar, dia tak paham rupanya. So I tried to explain, Dok kata nak yang kosong laa, ape laa. Dia tak paham gak. Pastu akak aku kata nak ayam je. Ayam sahaja. Baru lah dia paham.


First time aku jumpa situasi macam ni. Never once encountered benda2 camni. So yes, actually aku harini, belajar benda baru. In these situations, I can't blame the boy. Mungkin dia tak faham these English words. Mixed feeling jugak lah. Does this shows the weakness of our education system? I don't know. That boy doesn't look that young to me. Probably around 17, baru habis SPM macam tuh. Ikut logic, he should already know what ice means. Tapi entah, tak tahu mana silap nya.


Sedih jugak tengok budak tu. Dengan muka innocent beliau. Aku cuma harap takde orang yang scam dia. Sebab dia punya English basic sangat lah aku rasa tak leh nak survive lebih2 lagi kat kawasan banyak orang kuang ajaq macam kat area PJ ni. Our guess, mungkin dia baru datang dari kampung. But to tell you the truth, orang dari kampung pun kalau at least dah lepas sekolah menengah supposed to know those basic English words. Most people from kampung yang aku kenal pun ada strong English basic. Tapi tu lah, mungkin budak tu ada masalah sendiri yang kita tak tau. Takde, aku tak marah dia pun tadi. Aku paham, dia mungkin ada masalah dengan English. Cuma aku simpati je la dengan dia. My pray hopefully dia selamat dari penipuan2 durjana. Tu je.


Sorry kalau ada ayat pelik2. Aku type dalam keadaan blur sebenarnya ni haha

Kenapa dulu aku tak beli Samsung Galaxy W or Wonder

Lama tak hapdate blog. Busy lah katakan. Busy bercuti hahaha. Actually aku saja update blog nak luahkan perasaan jugak lah. Sedikit menyesal beli Samsung Galaxy Ace sebenarnya. Haha.


Actually orang ramai baru sedar kewujudan Galaxy W or Wonder ni. Aku tau lama dah. Dulu siap pernah aim lagi nak beli. Sebelum orang ramai dok sebut2 pasal W ni lagi aku dah usha2. Tapi tak tau kenapa aku end up amek Ace. Bila orang dah start bising pasal W, baru nak menyesalkan lah. Dunia dunia hahaa.


Anyway, untuk mengelakkan perasaan menyesal berbuku-buku dalam jiwa raga aku, disini aku nak jelaskan, kenapa aku beli Ace. Time aku beli handphone dulu mak aku ikut sekali. Pastu aku tanya mak aku, mana lawa? Ace ke Wonder? Then mak aku pilih Ace. So di situ laa titik permulaan kenapa aku pilih Ace. Sebab sayang mak punya pasal, so aku dah tak menyesal dah. Ok, bai!!


p/s: kata2 mak aku lagi penting dari mainstream things. hahaa.
p/s/s: sape2 sebut pasal Samsung Galaxy W depan aku lagi memang aku sembor dia. Sekian.

Kes Afdlin Shauki masuk UMNO: my opinion

Tertarik dengan isu recently Afdlin Shauki join UMNO. Seems like this thing has caused big commotion among his fans jugak lah. Actually aku malas nak bukak isu pasal politik kat blog aku lagi. Tapi disebabkan isu Afdlin ni macam menarik, so decided gonna give bit of my opinion.


Punya laa panjang lebar beliau nak cerita kat dalam facebook. Sampai naik kesian aku dengan dia. Seems like ramai fans dia dah back off from being his fans semata-mata sebab dia masuk UMNO. Well, say whaaaat?


Memang aku kesian dengan dia. Satu aku naik menyampah dengan rakyat Malaysia, we seem to be very obsessed with politics sampai lah kan, kawan2 pun kita sanggup benci, sampai solat pun nak ada dua imam! Isn't that bullshit? Yes it is. 


Aku pelik lah. Actually before Afdlin Shauki joins UMNO, rasa dah ramai je celebrities take part in politic. You name it. Bob Lokman, Wardina Safiyyah, Azmil Mustapha, many more. Ramai, sumpah ramai yang masuk politik. And most of them chose to be in PAS. Fans' reaction? Mereka marah artis2 ni join politik? No, mereka bersorak. So why bila Afdlin Shauki masuk UMNO je dia kena hentam teruk2? Why? Sebab he has different political view from you? Sebab tu? Bullshit.


Dude, we can have whatever political view that we want. Even the 140% vote in Russia haha ini joke saja. Be it, kau nak jadi PAS ke, kau nak jadi UMNO ke, sukahati mereka lah kan. It's their vote, not yours. Diorang nak undi kerajaan? Silakan. Korang nak undi pembangkang? Tiada halangan. So nak marah sangat Afdlin join UMNO ni apesal?


Takde bezanya kau UMNO ke PAS ke PKR ke. Selagi kau masih Islam, selagi kau masih pegang title MUSLIM. What makes us different semestinya tahap iman dan taqwa kita kepada Allah. Kalau kau katakan penyokong setia Pas sekali pun tapi solat pun fail, terkontang-kanting, tak cukup lima waktu, lambat solat (ok, yang ni aku pun selalu lambat, astaghfirullah), masih lovey dovey dengan girlfriend or boyfriend tanpa rasa malu, nothing makes you different from being ahli UMNO that did the same thing as you do, kan? Takde beza kan? Korang masih Muslim kan? Dua2 masih buat dosakan?


Dari korang sibuk pung pang pung pang cerita bagai fanatik habis pasal politik but never care to follow whatever Allah says, mintak maaf lah, baik lah korang upgrade kan dulu iman korang. Aku memang tengok ramai je beria kata PAS itu Islam, hidup Islam, hidup Islam, tapi at last, tersebar kat internet gambar dia dengan girlfriend holding hands. Memalukan siapa? Aku rasa memalukan parti PAS tu sendiri. Nasib baik hanya penyokong nya sahaja yang buat begitu. Bukan pemimpin teratas nya. Pemimpin teratas menjaga adab mereka mereka sebagai orang Islam


So yeah, berbalik pada point asal aku, aku memang tak suka lah bila jadi benda macam ni. Terpulang lah pada individu tu nak punya pandangan politik bagaimana. Mungkin dia rasa UMNO terbaik untuk dia. Apa hak kau untuk marah? Dia pengundi, dia ada hak juga. Well, at least dia masih memilih pemimpin di kalangan orang Islam, kan? Same goes to you guys. Korang undi PAS, nothing wrong with that, kan? At least korang cuba nak kekalkan kepimpinan Islam kat sini.


Peminat cepat melatah aku rasa. Fahaman politik memecah-belahkan umat Islam. Yang PAS solat berimam kan PAS, yang UMNO nak berimam kan UMNO. Padahal kita berkiblatkan sama, Kaabah. Kita bertuhan kan sama, Allah. Kita punya agama sama, Islam. Tu pun masih nak pecah-belah lagi? Terpulanglah.
