3rd week..

I hope I haven’t forgotten what I learnt last week. Well, what I’ve learned was how to do the tutorial on how to download a song from a webpage.

Actually, I don’t have anything to say about this. It’s because, I’ve been downloading songs from the Internet since when I’m in secondary school. Not to say that I’m more experienced or whatsoever, but I just feel that downloading songs from any webpages is very dangerous because of the viruses and malicious softwares there. Last time when downloading songs was all the craze in the IT world, I’ve had quirky softwares auto-installing themselves on my house computer without me realizing them. This experience is enough to make me understanding that like an open market, anything and everything can be found on the Internet. However, choosing reliable and safe resources is the hardest part. Many websites claim that their pages are free from viruses etc but it turns out that the auto-execute programmes are able to feed your personal information to the World Wide Web. Reflecting on it, they need sponsors to continue their webpages and who are the sponsors? The creator of the malicious softwares themselves. Since then, no more.

Not to say that I don’t download sings since then. I chose installing peer to peer programmes which lets me ‘share’ files on the programme without other ‘peers’, such as Ares (no promotion intended). Until now, it has been pleasant without any crashes whatsoever except when I tried to download keygen files for ‘cracked’ softwares that I use. That, I blame on myself, though not entirely. Malaysians are still far away from buying authentic softwares coz they are just too expensive. Still, that is another story altogether. The positive part form the lesson was that it made me feel like I’m one of the IT guy on the Internet that teaches ‘noobs’ or newbies on how to solve their computer problems. Who knows I’ll open my troubleshoot webpages next time?

Till then, see u guys soon. Very soon. =)
