My Dear Members, Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am honored and it is a privilege to write this short message for the newsletter as the President. First of all I would like to thank all CCM for their support and confidence entrusted to me.
My special thanks and heart-felt gratitude to each and every past President, the CCM members, the Advisory Board Members & dedicated staff members for their diligent contributions and tireless efforts in laying a firm foundation and charting the roadmap in making PAAM to what it is today.
I joined the alumni in 2004 upon completion of the Logistics Management Program in Yokohama- Japan. In the subsequent term I was elected the position of Honorary General Secretary and never had dreamt that I will become the 6th President today.
With the dedicated new team and a good blend of new and senior members, I strongly believe that we can achieve more. All members of the Central Committee are committed and will play an active role in contributing in to the continued success of PAAM. We are now in the process of getting a Structured Plan in implementing the “YEAR PLAN & ROADMAP for PAAM” so that activities and programs can be well executed with the team effort. The objective is to realize the goal of “Getting Everyone Involved”
We shall continue to uphold the status and good name of PAAM, and further promote and enhance various
activities to achieve greater heights for the benefit of the community and members at large.
On this note, I sincerely thank all members and wishing you all good health and happiness always.
President
CL Yang. PJM
CONGRATULATION!

Viruses are programs that you unwittingly store on your hard disk,
where they can open and cause havoc.
They are self replicating and may be passe / from one PC to another.
But you can take steps to minimize infection.
This article is to create awareness within our membership on the various viruses currently in circulation and how to detect them and prevent your PCs being attacked and your databases being destroyed. Viruses are programs that you unwittingly store on your hard disk, where they can open and cause havoc. They are self replicating and may be passed from one PC to another. But you can take steps to minimize infection. Virus protection programs will destroy most viruses and help shield you from future infection.
A GUIDE TO VIRUSES
Macro Viruses are the most common, with names like Concept, Nuclear, and Laroux. They are written in a Macro – a sequence of instructions – attached to a Word or Excel file. If you open an infected document, the macro virus writes itself into your copy of Word or Excel, and then infects all future documents created by you. Some strains of Word macro virus propagate by e-mail, using Outlook Express to send copies of themselves to names randomly chosen from your address book.
Versions of Word and Excel from Office 97 onward warn you of the possible presence of macros in files to be opened and offer to disable them.
Boot-sector viruses were best known in the days of the Disk Operating System (DOS). They still exist in large numbers, surviving in your hard disk’s boot sector – where the files used to start up your PC are stored. A boot sector virus becomes active each time you start up – or restart – your PC. Once active, it will copy itself onto every floppy disk inserted into your PC.
File-infecting viruses are also known as parasitic viruses. While they are more common under DOS, some Windows file viruses exist as well. They lurk inside a program .When you run it, the virus starts meddling with your RAM, and then infect the other programs that you run.
Viruses known as worms spread copies of themselves over networked computers. While they can replicate themselves and use memory, they can’t spread by attaching themselves to other viruses. The notorious Internet Worm of 1988 spread to thousands of machines in a few days, and marked the first time that users were concerned about viruses over the Net.
A multipartite virus combines boot-sector and file-infecting viruses. It is found within an executable program. When the program is run, the virus infects the hard drive’s boot sector.
Polymorphic viruses are viruses that attempt to escape detection by changing their form each time they spread.
Strictly speaking, Trojan horses are not viruses since they don’t replicate. They tend to be hidden inside programs, usually games, and they display a message, erase files, or lose data.
You can get rid of them just by deleting them.
Script viruses are written in script programming languages, like Visual Basic Script and JavaScript.
They can be caught by opening a .vbs or .is file, or they can be embedded into the HTML or a web page. In theory, just opening a web page could cause infection, though there are no confirmed reports of this happening – yet.
In the next issue of Newsletter PAAM, we will discuss
the following aspects of prevention from virus:
i. Methods of infection
ii. How to avoid viruses
iii. Top 10 warning signs
