I have a friend who works in the media line and he told me the good news that he now can put his video content in front of media distribution professionals. The launch of IPEX TV, a unique concept of B2B ecommerce marketplace exclusively enables buyers and sellers of multi platform video programs to trade in a conducive environment.

I was surprised at the evolving DVD distribution market because these video content not only serves the traditional television market as we know it but also the ever increasingly popular portable device, cellular phone and internet markets.

IPEX TV allows both producers and distributors of video content to communicate directly have access to each other. Media producers showcase their work online and professional media distributors are able to browse through the video trailers, according to genre or search by keywords.

My friend is excited that he now has the chance to showcase his work to the world should his video be picked by a professional distributor. What a great media marketplace this is!

After reading my post, Hanging Computer, my friend was concerned that my internet security may have been breached. I told him that I do have firewall and anti-virus installed, but maybe it is because I am using the free version. How else could I explain the Trojan that was detected on my computer and causing it to freeze after my computer was connected to the internet for twenty four hours?

My friend told me about FilterGuide.com, a comparison website for major internet utilities and programs like anti-virus, firewall, spyware detection, parental control software, anti-spam filters and many more.

I was aghast to note that my free firewall and anti-virus programs were not even listed, let alone rated! I think I better change to one of the top rated programs for better internet security protection!

For the whole of yesterday I had my computer switched on and connected to the internet and I only shut if off at 7.30am in the morning. After an hour and a half, I switched it on again and the stupid PC kept hanging. That was just before 9am. I had to shut it and restart and it refused to shut down. Strangely, I could restart it, just that I could not shut it down.

What the heck could be wrong? I am a non-technical person and I hate to troubleshoot it. I’d rather just chuck it into the big river that’s next to my house.

So this cycle went on until 1pm My AVG Free detected a trojan. Could this be the culprit??? It was healed and I hope it stays healed and not get restored into the system. How the hell my computer could contract a trojan, I do not know. I just formatted my computer a week ago!

Anyway, I really need a back up system. Maybe it’s time to invest in a laptop? How about one of those Sony VAIO C Series notebooks?? As the saying goes, “Every girl needs a pink laptop!”
