Lahore: Home of First Ever Computer Virus Posted: 11 Mar 2011 01:11 AM PST Lahore: Home of First Ever Computer Virus is a post from: ProPakistani Just in case if you don't know, First ever PC computer virus, named as Brain, was written by two Pakistani bothers, Amjad Farooq Alvi and Basit Farooq Alvi, who are currently running an ISP, IPTV, Telephony and various other services under the name of Brain Telecommunication Limited. Birthplace of this harmless virus is exactly where Brain's office is today, and interestingly, both the brothers mentioned their address in virus code that they had written: Welcome to the Dungeon (c) 1986 Basit & Amjad (pvt) Ltd. BRAIN COMPUTER SERVICES 730 NIZAM BLOCK ALLAMA IQBAL TOWN LAHORE-PAKISTAN PHONE :430791,443248,280530. Beware of this VIRUS…. Contact us for vaccination………… $#@%$@!! At 25th anniversary of computer viruses, Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at F-Secure, visited Pakistan to look for the home of 25 years old BRAIN virus, which turned out to be the root of multi billion anti-virus software industry. This virus was not destructive in nature, in fact, it was created to test the replication attributes of DOS. Brain was capable of copying itself to every disk that was inserted in Brain-hit computer. The only effect of BRAIN virus was that it used to change the disk label (the “name” of the disk). The volume label used to change to read: “©Brain” Following is the video that Mikko released on the lookout of Brain and its owners, Related posts: Pakistan's first Antivirus "Instant Virus killer" Hackers – War Between Good and Bad What Scareware Softwares are? wi-tribe Offers Anti-Virus for Safe Surfing First iPhone Virus Hits Jailbroken Phones Copyright © 2010 ProPakistani.PK

Google’s Person Finder For Earth Quake Affected Japan Posted: 11 Mar 2011 01:05 AM PST Google’s Person Finder For Earth Quake Affected Japan is a post from: ProPakistani After a huge disaster in Japan , Google has launched a very useful service for the people of Japan to search for their missing beloved ones. The tool is available in English and Japanese. Users can click on the “I’m looking for someone” link or the “I have information about someone” link and enter what they know. Search by name or parts of a name, or – if you have information – enter the family or given name to create an entry. Google stressed that all data entered is available to the public and viewable and usable by anyone. The search giant also does not review or verify the data entered into the system; after the immediate crisis has passed, Google archives the data. At this point, the system is currently tracking about 7,200 records. After 2005′s Hurricane Katrina in the U.S., a variety of organizations created missing person registries, making it difficult to keep track. As a result, Google Person Finder accepts data from other registries using a common format known as PFIF, which was established by volunteers of the Katrina People Finder Project. Google engineers built the first Google Person Finder after the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The program has an API, which lets press agencies, non-governmental agencies and others contribute to the database and receive updates. Web sites can also embed Google Person Finder as a gadget on their own pages.

Supernet Enhances its VSAT Network Capacity Posted: 10 Mar 2011 11:23 PM PST Supernet Enhances its VSAT Network Capacity is a post from: ProPakistani Pakistani ISP and satellite service provider Supernet recently inked a capacity deal with SES World Skies for Ku-band transponder capacity on the NSS-6 satellite to support a large VSAT network for Pakistan’s corporate enterprise market, reported Satellite TODAY, citing Supernet CEO Imran Malik. Malik while speaking with Satellite Today said that the SES World Skies capacity would enable Supernet to streamline its operations. “We have physically split our two VSAT business segments – broadband Internet and enterprise networks – so that all of our enterprise VSAT customers are now being supported by the Ku-band capacity on the NSS-6 satellite,” he said. According to information that we have got from Supernet, it looks that this split in both the segments is made while keeping long-term business strategy in mind. This current capacity from NSS-6 Satellite is in addition to a partnership that company signed in 2010 with YahSat to provide the Ka-band YahClick service in Pakistan. We want to use our existing broadband VSAT service to develop customers for our YahClick service. Thus we intend to be very aggressive with our broadband Internet service. Ku-band capacity is very hard to find in our region. We can definitely use more and are actively looking for FSS Ku-band capacity. Supernet has seen a significant growth in demand for VSAT services in Pakistan in the last few years. While Malik believes that 2011 will be a slightly slower year compared to previous years, he is confident that the GSM backhaul market will see good growth in the long term. In 2011, our major growth driver will still be GSM backhaul. I see a shift from the fully loaded SCPC circuits to lightly loaded, shared VSAT sites. The Universal Service Fund can also play an important role in fueling the demand for VSATs. We are looking at becoming a service provider in our neighboring markets as well, but in Pakistan, we see the state of the economy and the extended crisis in governance as a major challenge to growth. Competition will push profitability downwards. The best part is that, by virtue, a few of our long-term contracts from 2010 are virtually guaranteed for the next three years, said Mr. Malik.
