Fixed the virus issue.
Few weeks back my laptop was infected by some unknown Trojans/spy ware. The first impact of the Trojan or virus was to remove my administrator access to my laptop. When I try to open the Taskmanager or system registry, i got the message that my access to those modules are restricted by administrator.
Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator.
Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator.
I took my laptop to an authorized service center. Those guys couldn't figure out a solution for my problem. They simply said only formatting the hard drive will solve the problem. However I'm not in a position to format my hard drive. I may need another hard drive of 100 gb space for taking a backup.
When I googled for this problem, some site asked me to try opening the group editor(gpedit.msc) and change the settings through it. But this didn't help. Further refining my search, I landed in these pages which really helped me.

Using the REG.EXE console tool in the first URL helped me in getting the access to the system registry
Once I got the access the registry, I followed the 3rd method in the second url. This gave me access to task manager too.
Now every thing is in place. First thanks to the above site owner and Google.
Lesson learned:
Never turnoff your anti virus. NAV was making my laptop bit slow. So i turned it off. If I haven't turned it off I will not landed in this problem.
I'm thinking of saying good bye to NAV. Currently trying ESET Smart security (NOD32). The system speed is not affected by this AV. Also planning to try Kaspersky and bit defender. I believe I will choose one among the three.

A Wednesday
Until I came across the news that Kamal is remaking this movie in Tamil/Telegu, I didn't have any idea about this movie. Out of curiosity got this movie dvd from a moser bear store.The running time of this movie is approximately 100 mins. Or to say 100 mins of non stop thrill. No songs, No boring dialogs. I don't want write about the plot. But one thing I would like to say is, in the remade version, if the running time of this movie is more than 100 mins then I'm not sure how fast the screenplay would be. Please don't add any songs.
Some years back Kamal acted (I think Produced too) in a movie called "Kuruthi Punool".I think this movie was a failure in box office. I think the reason for failure is the story line. 95% (or even more %) of people in Tamil Nadu don't have any idea about Naxalites. And this movie deals with police and naxalites.
If Kamal follows the same story or plot of a Wednesday in Tamil, the box office success is not assured.

Movies
Till the year 2004 I have watched only very few number of movies. Starting from 2005, the number of movies that I watch per month is exponentially increasing. In 2005 it was weekly one movie, 4/5 movie per month, in 2006 it was 8-10movies per month and during last year and this year more than 10 movies per month. Since I don't watch TV, my major pastime is watching movies.
The problem of watching too many movies is, whenever you watch a new international movie you can easily assume the plot and story and in case of regional movies along with the plot you can find from which international movie they have copied.
Last week I watched Charles bronson "Death Wish". Charles bronson becomes a vigilante after his wife is murdered and his daughter is sexually assaulted by muggers. Story sounds familiar isn't? This movie was made in Tamil with the title "Naan Sigappu Manithan" with Rajinikanth in the lead role.
Some hollywood movies stories are very crazy. We have a seen several movies in which humans or animals become possessed by a demon. Have you ever imagined that a machine was possessed by a demon? Weird to read isn't? Try watching "The Mangler". An industrial laundry press machine becomes possessed by a demon.

Gandhi My Father - Movie
I have come across few movie reviews where the reviewer says that the movie left him speech less. I wonder does any movie really makes us like that or its just a way to prise the movie. But yesterday even I had the same feeling after watching the movie "Gandhi, My Father". The movie deals with the relationship between our Bapu(M.K.Gandhi) and his son Hirilal Gandhi.
When we look things from Harilal’s perspective whatever he does is correct. But when we look things from the other side, most of the things that he does are wrong. The movie doesn’t justify Harilal’s action or support Bapus reaction/action on Harilal.
Every politician should watch this movie to know what true service to the society means.
I have one general doubt. How come the Nehru dynasty family got the Surname Gandhi.

Sum Of All Fears
Date : 23rd April 2009
Time : 5.50 PM. (40 more minutes for the end of day)
A person whom I have seen only very few times in my office comes to my desks and said "the HR want to talks to you. Meet him at the X floor immediately "
A moment my mind went blank and started to think about all the weired things. Is the worst nightmare become true?. How long can I survive with my current bank balance? What will be my future? How my parents will react? How to face my friends and neighbours?
My hear was beating at very fast pace and I can clearly feel it.
Time 6.00 PM
I'm at the HR's desk. There were few papers on his desk and a spread sheet with employee names was open in his computer. My heart started to beat even very faster.
When I introduced myself to the HR, he said "We don't have the NDA agreement that you have signed when joining the company. Can you please fill the form and sign it immediately".
Gosh...... Thank God.
Once I filled the form and handed it over to him, he asked me "can you ask some of your team members to come down to fill the form". Now I understood, The fool who asked me to meet the HR should also said for what the HR wants me.
