Mozilla at last!

After trying to remove a homepage hijacker from my laptop, and failing three times, I switched to Mozilla... There are no perceivable functional difference between IE and Mozilla.

The decision was made after using Spybot Search and Destroy, Adaware, CWShredder, HijackThis, and Norton AV to unsuccessfully remove the spyware. From what I have seen on the web, there are no solutions for this one. [Although, Norton AV removed some strange files from Java cache few days ago. This might have helped. (Nope!)]

In any case, it is time to switch browser if you find yourself using 5 (five!) applications to support one web browser!

I will take these programs as well as Mozilla suite and install them on my mom's PC. She has a similar problem with another spyware which records user activity.

PVR'ed movies

Been watching the following movies recorded on the PVR:

Big One - yet another Michael Moore documentary, this one is from 1998. Besides some 'obnoxious' scenes, it is very watchable; as always, Moore discusses issues that no one else really cares.

Legend of 1900 - Beautiful movie about a man who lives on a luxury liner all his life. It woths watching just for the 'duelling pianists' scene.

Bullets Over Boradway - It turns out that I have actually missed this movie when it came out. Good Woody Allen movie...

From Blockbuster

Blockbuster's 1-week rentals are killing me. We rent two or three movies -usually- on a Friday night; you can keep them for a week, right? We end up watching only one during the weekend. Then, we force ourselves to finish the others before Saturday noon. Why do we keep renting these? It is really time to swtich to NetFlix? Anyway, last few DVDs were:

- Underworld: It was significantly better than I expected; has some Alien 3 feel. Kate Beckingsale in cool leather outfit works! :)

- Dirty Pretty Things: This was significantly more depressing that I expected. Still a must see movie... One of those movies that 'changes' you... Little bit, but it 'takes' you back to reality.
