A two-man band of New Zealanders in New York. Throw in an inept band-manager, an obsessed fan, crazy songs and a handful of anti-Australian jokes and you have 'Flight Of The Conchords', one of the most humorous comedy series of all time. But what I bet you didn't know is that Australia is the LAST country to run the show. What's more, it was premiered in the US and in Canada three months before it was shown in New Zealand!

Australians seem to have the unique gift to make a musical out of just about anything and anyone. Examples of this include: 'Shane Warne- The Musical', 'Keating!-The Musical' and even an opera about a dingo that stole Lindy Chamberlain's baby. More recently, Australians have brought to the stage some of our most iconic films; 'Priscilla- The Musical' is a two-and-a-half hour romp around Australia following the lives of two drag queens, one transvestite and a mechanic called Bob.

How about rolling the lives of several of Australia's most infamous politicians into one dazzling show? 'The Wizard Of Aus', I call it. It's noice, it's different, it's unusual. Picture this: an Aboriginal girl called Dorothy is forced to flee from her banana plantation in Queensland after it is destroyed by a vicious hurricane. Dorothy is forced to hitch-hike down highway number 1 with her pet kangaroo Skippy, when she meets none other than Peter Costello, who wishes that 'he only had a spine' (and he doesn't mean the book spine of his newly-released memoirs, either). Further down the track we meet another character who wishes that they 'only had a heart'. There are not one, but two Aussie icons vying for this role- John Howard is eligible due to his handling of the 'Children Overboard' incident, while Naomi Robson redefines the meaning of the word sincerity (she would be wearing a lizard on her shoulder). The last character of this four-man-band is Dr Brendon Nelson, who wishes that he had the courage to attack the labour party on their handling of the economic crisis in the same way that Malcolm Turnball has after only one day as the liberal leader.

 

But the road to the wizard is not an easy one. The group has to survive several high-powered attacks from the wicked witch Pauline Hanson, who thinks that Dorothy, the Chinese and Kevin Rudd should all go back home to Asia. Thankfully, the white witch Gabriella Cilmi saves the day by driving her away with the grating teen pop number 'Sweet About Me' that she sings over and over (and over) again. Finally, they reach the 'wizard', who is actually a chronic drinker lingering in a pub at Alice Springs. In his intoxicated state, he advises Dorothy to get the heck back home while wearing a large pair of red Converse sneakers. But when she gets there, she finds the place as she left it- a sunburnt, desolate wasteland and the new home to a family of deadly taipans. At this stage, all Dorothy can say is 'There really is no place like home.'
 

The 'Antivirus' 2009 Virus is a nasty piece of programming which continues to boggle the minds of those infected. Basically, the virus infects your computer by either finding vulnerabilities in your web browser or infecting downloadable files and email attachments. It takes the appearance of an antiviral software, prompting pop-up messages to tell you that it has found malware on your computer or advising you to install it while giving no option to cancel.

Once infected, pop-up messages start appearing at random intervals, boot-up is affected and your wallpaper is changed to a nasty .jpg that tells you your computer is infected. What's more, the trojan blocks access to anti-virus websites such as Mcafee and Kaspersky, and then cloaks itself so that it goes undetected in any system scans.

The trojan provides a root-kit backdoor by modifying registry values. However, there IS hope of removing it. Don't follow prompts and install the fake software. Manually delete suspicious files (which may be located in temp folders), install Avira Antivir and Combofix and try rebooting machine a few times. Update firewall settings and web browser.

**EDIT It is advisable to delete ALL restoration points in order to avoid duplicating the backdoor component.
