AVG9 File Scanner for MSN

In msn, under the File Transfer Options, we have to set the file scanner for handling the files our friends share with us.

If you are an AVG user, you might probably be asking, which one is the file scanner? Because there are so many executable files in the AVG folder, so this is a problem i faced when trying to setup file scanner for MSN File Transfer Options.

 

I am currently using the AVG9. So, the AVG file scanner is the avgscanx.exe (might varies for different versions). But we don't just point to this executable file in MSN for the file scanner. In fact, the avgscanx.exe is a command which requires us to input in parameter(s). The following is the list of parameters options for this command.

So we have to create a batch file with the following content:

@echo on
"C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG9\avgscanx.exe" /SCAN=%1 /HEUR /ARC /PUP /CLEAN
pause

And then save it at any place as any name you like as long as it is a batch file (eg. E:\ScanAVG9.bat). Go to the MSN File Transfer Options to browse to the folder you just saved your batch file.

 

When you reached there you will notice that the batch file is not shown up. Type in “*.*” in the FIle name text field and press enter, this will show all files in the folder and therefore also show up your batch file. Select it, click open and there you go.

Now when ever after your friends sent you files, a command prompt will popup and do the scanning and show you the results of the scan that looks similar to the following screenshot.

Father’s Day Celebration 2010

Went to “三盅两件”, a Chinese restaurant in Vivo City for lunch to celebrate Father’s day on the 20th June 2010. If i am not wrong, the English name for that restaurant is called “Soup Restaurant”.

We ordered the Father’s day special set A which consist of 7 dishes. But we only managed to snap photo of one of the dishes because we are too eating… lol. The photo on the left is a bowl of Ginseng Chicken soup. It tastes really good. A must try dish for anyone going there.

What have I done from August 2009 to June 2010?

It has been quite some time that i have leave this blog inactive… haha… I was thinking maybe I should just continue to write something here just for fun… to keep the blog alive… haha…

So the following is what I have done ever since my previous post “Prawn Fishing at 海滨" on 10th August 2009 until now.

• Signup gym membership together with Industrial Attachment (IA) colleagues. It is a unbelievable that I would pay to do exercise… LoL… Well there is always some exceptions in life… so what i usually do is to do a try-catch-finally… so that I won’t get terminated here… haha…
  
• Completed my 6 months IA programme. All thanks to the supervisors and fellow colleagues there, I finally make it to jump over the line which i once thought impossible… Really thanks a lot. Hurray~! End of my life as a student…
  
• Went for One-Timed Spa Session and Yoga Course. Being part of the gym promotion membership package, I was entitled a one-timed spa session and yoga course.
  
• Went to Thailand with IA colleagues. (My 1st airplane experience.)

My 1st driving experience too~!	My 1st heavy drinking experience too~!  Lol~!

• Went to Taiwan with NTU friends. Went there to 跨年. So I can say that I have been to Taiwan from 2009 to 2010, wow… haha~!  I was there for around 10 days if I didn’t remember wrong… the weather then was pretty cold… natural air-con wherever you go… Something i realised there was that the night there is longer than in Singapore. Around 6pm there, the sky will looks like its 8pm in Singapore already. Seems like Taiwan have a longer night time than day time… maybe that is the reason why the girls there are more fair… haha… just my thoughts…
  
• Resumed my NSF Distruption for a period of 2 months. Boring life at SQN being an over-aged NSF there… lol I just simply spent 1 month doing guard-duties, and 1 month enjoying my guard-duty offs sleeping… haha alternate days guard duties are siong loh… haha…
  
• Found my 1st job as a Software Engineer. Start of my life as a working adult… I have just came to realise that what we have learnt in University is way too minimal to bring it to work… lol “Objective: To apply what I have learnt in school to work...” is a bit impossible if we are talking about the technologies learnt in school… hahaha~! But in fact, what I have benefit the most is the skill of self-researching… to find your way out yourself by means of Google… lol This skill is a must to pick up when doing projects in school… Another skill will the art of asking questions… asking the right person and asking wisely can make you quite resourceful sometimes… hahaha~! How? don’t ask me that, because i am also still trying to learn those skills… hahaha~!

Oh yah, I just bought an 16” LCD monitor from the recent PC Show. Although there are other bigger monitor available out there… but due to space constraints… I really can’t afford too big a monitor to place it on my desk. Furthermore, my eyes is too small to look at big screen… hahaha~! But it really feels good to run on 2 monitors, extended desktop… shiok sia… can multitask more… but limited by the processing power of my laptop… time to get a new Desktop PC i guess… lol~!

And yes… I have just got older by one year… sigh… hahaha~! Eh but not bad… at least my colleagues there do celebrate colleagues' birthday… wah… got birthday cake somemore leh… 感动到~~~! hahaha~!
