Shutdown virus or PC-Off .bat was programmed to make a computer shut itself off.
It runs when a certain application is used.
Commonly, this virus appears whenever command prompt or a web browser is accessed.

I have personally encountered this virus.
It is really irritating and confusing because some applications that uses the command prompt will automatically shuts down my computer in seconds.

This PC-OFF.bat virus creates the following files

• password_viewer.exe
• bar311.exe
• photo.zip.exe
• pc-off.bat

at the following locations

• c:\windows\bar311.exe
• c:\windows\password_viewer.exe
• c:\windows\photo.zip.exe
• c:\windows\pc-off.bat


Here is a step by step instruction in manually deleting this virus:

• Back up your computer first by creating a restoration point. Restoration point will save all your current settings and registry entries in your computer.

Shopping online is one of my habit I couldn’t just easily rid. It saves a lot of time and effort for shoppers like me.
I usually prefer browsing items and stuffs in multiply or ebay, but there are times that I can’t explore as much as I want.

I always want to have a lot of choices when it comes to buying stuffs.
Having a lot of choices means having a chance to compare product’s quality and prices.
So I tried using google in finding the stuffs I want to buy.
Thankfully, I found Shopwiki.

Shopwiki.com is like a huge database of all shops online. It is used the same way as we use google.
They have a very simple interface that makes their site load fast.
Every products are arranged according to their categories.
For example, you’re looking for your babies or toddlers necessities you can just click the category specifically linked to all the products that is related in that category.
Their site has a lot of categories to choose from. They have accesories, arts and crafts, books, children books, computer softwares, pets, video games, jewelries, clothings, clothes for babies, furnitures, activity sets, toys and games and a lot of other categories that are organized neatly.

Here is a screen shot of Shopwiki.com:

Want to have customize sidebar in blogspot?
I found this codes for switch menu in dynamicdrive.com but it is not compatible to blogspot so I made some changes.

Here’s how.

1. Log-in to your account in blogspot.
2. In the dashboard select Layout.
3. Click the Edit HTML tab. Paste the code below after ]]></b:skin> and before </head> tag.

   <style type="text/css">
   .menutitle{
   cursor:pointer;
   margin-bottom: 5px;
   background-color:#ECECFF;
   color:#000000;
   width:140px;
   padding:2px;
   text-align:center;
   font-weight:bold;
   /*/*/border:1px solid #000000;/* */
   }
   
   .submenu{
   margin-bottom: 0.5em;
   }
   </style>
   
   <script type="text/javascript">
   
   /***********************************************
   * Switch Menu script- by Martial B of http://getElementById.com/
   * Modified by Dynamic Drive for format & NS4/IE4 compatibility

   ***********************************************/
   
   var persistmenu="yes" //"yes" or "no". Make sure each SPAN content contains an incrementing ID starting at 1 (id="sub1", id="sub2", etc)
   var persisttype="sitewide" //enter "sitewide" for menu to persist across site, "local" for this page only
   
   if (document.getElementById){ //DynamicDrive.com change
   document.write('<style type="text/css">\n')
   document.write('.submenu{display: none;}\n')
   document.write('</style>\n')
   }
   
   function SwitchMenu(obj){
    if(document.getElementById){
    var el = document.getElementById(obj);
    var ar = document.getElementById("masterdiv").getElementsByTagName("span"); //DynamicDrive.com change
     if(el.style.display != "block"){ //DynamicDrive.com change
      for (var i=0; i<ar.length; i++){
       if (ar[i].className=="submenu") //DynamicDrive.com change
       ar[i].style.display = "none";
      }
      el.style.display = "block";
     }else{
      el.style.display = "none";
     }
    }
   }
   
   function get_cookie(Name) {
   var search = Name + "="
   var returnvalue = "";
   if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
   offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
   if (offset != -1) {
   offset += search.length
   end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
   if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
   returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
   }
   }
   return returnvalue;
   }
   
   function onloadfunction(){
   if (persistmenu=="yes"){
   var cookiename=(persisttype=="sitewide")? "switchmenu" : window.location.pathname
   var cookievalue=get_cookie(cookiename)
   if (cookievalue!="")
   document.getElementById(cookievalue).style.display="block"
   }
   }
   
   function savemenustate(){
   var inc=1, blockid=""
   while (document.getElementById("sub"+inc)){
   if (document.getElementById("sub"+inc).style.display=="block"){
   blockid="sub"+inc
   break
   }
   inc++
   }
   var cookiename=(persisttype=="sitewide")? "switchmenu" : window.location.pathname
   var cookievalue=(persisttype=="sitewide")? blockid+";path=/" : blockid
   document.cookie=cookiename+"="+cookievalue
   }
   
   if (window.addEventListener)
   window.addEventListener("load", onloadfunction, false)
   else if (window.attachEvent)
   window.attachEvent("onload", onloadfunction)
   else if (document.getElementById)
   window.onload=onloadfunction
   
   if (persistmenu=="yes" && document.getElementById)
   window.onunload=savemenustate
   
   </script>

4. Preview your work to see if it didn’t affect you layout then save it.
5. Click the Page Elements tab and select the add a gadget link.
6. In the pop-up menu select html/javascript and paste the following codes

   <!-- Keep all menus within masterdiv-->
   <div id="masterdiv">
   
    <div onclick="SwitchMenu('sub1')">Site Menu</div>
    <span id="sub1">
     - <a href="new.htm">What's New</a><br>
     - <a href="hot.htm">What's hot</a><br>
     - <a href="revised.htm">Revised Scripts</a><br>
     - <a href="morezone/">More Zone</a>
    </span>
   
    <div onclick="SwitchMenu('sub2')">FAQ/Help</div>
    <span id="sub2">
     - <a href="notice.htm">Usage Terms</a><br>
     - <a href="faqs.htm">DHTML FAQs</a><br>
     - <a href="help.htm">Scripts FAQs</a>
    </span>
   
    <div onclick="SwitchMenu('sub3')">Help Forum</div>
    <span id="sub3">
     - <a href="http://www.codingforums.com">Coding Forums</a><br>
    </span>
   
    <div onclick="SwitchMenu('sub4')">Cool Links</div>
    <span id="sub4">
     - <a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a><br>
     - <a href="http://www.freewarejava.com">Freewarejava</a><br>
     - <a href="http://www.cooltext.com">Cool Text</a><br>
     - <a href="http://www.google.com">Google.com</a>
    </span>
   
    <img src="about.gif" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub5')"><br>
    <span id="sub5">
     - <a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/link.htm">Link to DD</a><br>
     - <a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/recommendit/">Recommend Us</a><br>
     - <a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/contact.htm">Email Us</a><br>
    </span>
   
   </div>

7. Study the codes above and customize it.

Now you can enjoy a fully customize menu in your sidebar!

Here is a screen shot sample that I got from dynamicdrive.com
