Find What You Want with Google

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:33:00 +0000

Most people who search on the internet have a favorite search engine. In fact, the majority of internet users choose Google.

Do you fall into this category? If so, are you taking advantage of everything Google offers?

If an internet search means you go to www.google.com and simply type 2 or 3 words into the search box, hoping to find what you're looking for, you aren't even scratching the surface.

How Can You Get Better Results?

Google is the number one search engine for good reason - their results are generally the most accurate. Even so, there are ways to pinpoint what you're looking for even more effectively.

You have two options when it comes to fine-tuning your searches - you can use the Google Advanced Search screen or you can use "modifiers" in the main Google search.

Option 1: Google Advanced Search

When you go to www.google.com, there is a little "Advanced Search" link to the right of the main search box. If you click on that, you'll get the much more detailed Google search, where you can make very specific requests.

The first four sections, highlighted in blue, are some of the most important. Here you can specify any of the following:

1. All of the words - this will give you results with all of your search words, but not in any particular order. They can also be anywhere on the page.

2. The exact phrase - this will give you results with exactly the phrase you enter. The phrase must appear on the page exactly the way you enter it.

3. At least one of the words - this will show results with any one or more of your search words on the page.

4. Without the words - this will give you results that don't include your search terms at all.

These four sections can be used independently or combined to work together.

For example, you could search for the exact phrase 'free virus software' without the words 'trial' or 'tryout' if you're looking for free virus software but don't want trial versions that will expire after a short time.

As another example, you could use option #3 (at least one of the words) if you're looking for something but don't know exactly how to spell it. Put a few possible spellings in and it will find pages with any one or more of those spellings.

The rest of the sections on the Advanced Search page are pretty self-explanatory. One that I will point out is the Domain option. You can specify a website and either search for something only on that site, or anywhere but that site.

If you've found an interesting website that doesn't have a search function of its own, you can use this to limit Google to searching that site for whatever you're looking for. In fact, the Google search is often better even if the site does have its own search function.

You can also use it to find other references to something you might have read on a particular website. If you search for it and exclude the site you saw it on, you'll find other references to it that you can cross-check.

Option 2: Using Modifiers

Modifiers will let you use all the advanced features without having to go to the Advanced Search page every time. These modifiers can just be entered in the standard Google search box to get the same results as the advanced options.

There are quite a few different modifiers that can be used, but some of the most useful are as follows:

Putting "" around a phrase will search for the exact phrase. Searching for free antivirus software will show you pages with those three words anywhere on the page. Searching for "free antivirus software" shows you pages that contain that exact phrase.

Putting a - before a word is the same as the advanced option "without the words." So, to use the example used earlier, searching for "free virus software" -trial -tryout will show pages with that exact phrase, not including the other two words.

Using site: followed by the domain name of the website you want to search will only return results from that particular website. For example, searching for "virus protection" site:computer-help-squad.com will only return results from the www.computer-help-squad.com website.

Again, these can be combined so -site: will return results from any site except the one you specify.

How to Figure Out the Modifiers

The easiest way to see how to use modifiers in your searches is to try some searches with the Advanced Search page and see how Google formats them.

Using our example again, if you enter 'free antivirus software' in the "with the exact phrase" box and the words 'trial' and 'tryout' in the "without the words" box, the search that Google runs looks like this:

"free virus software" -trial -tryout

If you play around a bit with the advanced searches, you'll see how Google formats them for you. Next time, you can just enter them yourself in the standard search box instead of going to the Advanced Search page.

Once you get the hang of these options in Google, you'll find that your searches get even more accurate because you can filter out the stuff you don't want.

Crouching Trojan, Hidden Malware

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:24:00 +0000

Trojans are not just more dangerous than computer viruses, they're stealthier, too. Find out where they hide.

Minions of an evil master lurk in your hard drive, crouching in your system registry, ready to pounce.

What Is a Trojan?

The word "Trojan" is a mystery to most people, even many who think they know its true meaning. If more people really understood what Trojans are and the risk they pose, there would be fewer Trojans, since fewer people would ever leave their machines vulnerable to them.

A Trojan is malware. Malware is a special kind of software, like spyware, adware, and viruses that no one wants. Yet a Trojan is more dangerous than any other kind of malware. Unlike those other types of malware, Trojans are not mindless flunkies hurled at your computer by their masters. A Trojan is a master that first craftily infiltrates your PC, then unleashes its malware henchman.

What Trojans Do

• Some Trojans may install worms, which are programs that use your computer and internet connection to send out armies of server requests in the hope of shutting a particular website down, or to spread viruses or worms to other computers.

• Other Trojans are thieves, out to steal your computer's processing power and turn it over to their hacker masters, often by setting up a backdoor, a hidden internet connection that allows for outside manipulation of your machine.

• Some thieving Trojans are fraudsters that may go after your financial information by installing keyloggers that record what you type--especially passwords and important banking numbers.

How Do Trojans Hide?

No one thinks they have a Trojan on their computer until it is too late. That's because they do such a good job of blending in.

• Trojans come disguised in innocuous file names, often pretending to be a helper application to software or an essential operating system component.

• Trojans try to avoid calling attention to themselves, and so will often only interfere a little, if at all, with your computer's performance, choosing instead to do their dirty work while your machine is idle. Computers left on and connected to the internet while their owners are asleep or at work or school are favorite targets.

How Do You Remove Trojans?

Removing Trojans can be a can of worms. Here's why you need to proceed with caution:

• Since Trojans can disguise themselves as software your computer actually needs, you could accidentally delete a vital program or system registry entry. In the worst case scenario, you won't be able to restart your computer.

• Many Trojans are trained for survival. When you try to removal them manually, they may simply copy themselves to another directory.

Intimidated? You don't have to be. Rather than trying to defuse a Trojan yourself, why not call in the bomb squad? Good anti-spyware and antivirus software will fight Trojans, too. Just make sure to look for a program that specifically says it fights Trojans. After all, this is no job for amateurs.

Could Your Email Compromise Your Safety?

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:20:00 +0000

Hackers, phishers, viruses, worms…simply having your computer online can expose your data and personal information to all kinds of malicious and worrisome problems. If you’re somewhat new to the 'net' or to computers in general, these four tips could help protect you from identity theft, credit card fraud, or a complete computer takeover – all of which can happen without you even knowing about it!

1. What’s in Your Inbox? – If your e-mail program allows you to preview the entire message before or while it is being downloaded, turn this setting off. Some e-mails can contain dangerous code that could unknowingly compromise your computer and leave you vulnerable to viruses, worms or worse! Check the options in your e-mail program for a way to disable the message preview pane.

2. Scrutinize Your Messages – Don’t ever respond to messages claiming to be from your bank, credit card company, or other financial institution, which ask for personally identifiable information such as card or account numbers, passwords, or other private information – even if the e-mail looks to have come from the actual company. It may be a hoax designed to get you to unknowingly part with crucial financial or private contact information, leaving you vulnerable to credit card fraud, identity theft or credit card theft. Contact the institution or company that claims to be sending the e-mail and verify the contents of the message with them. Chances are – they never sent it. Only use the number on your statement though, and not the number that appears in the e-mail message. It may direct you right to the scammer, who will do everything they can to assure you that nothing is wrong!

3. If it’s From a Friend, it must be Safe, Right? – It’s logical to assume that a message from your friend or colleague is safe, but that isn’t always the case! If you receive an email from a friend or colleague which contains an attachment (could be a media clip, a screensaver, a picture or anything else), call them up to check and see if they really did send it. Many viruses and worms can hijack your computer and blast out a virus-ridden email to everyone in your address book, making it appear that it came from you and therefore, making it appear trustworthy.

4. Read Your Messages in Plain Text – Some e-mails written in HTML (the coding language that makes up many web pages) can be harmless. Others can contain malicious code that can hijack your e-mail program, browser, or your entire computer – and send your personal and financial information out to a hacker or scammer without you even knowing about it! Stay safe by setting your e-mail program to only show messages in plain text format (often in the options or settings section of the software). This will prevent threatening code from installing itself and compromising your system and private information.

Possibly one of the best ways to protect your e-mail is simply by exercising common sense. The Internet is a lot like a crowded plaza. Would your banker or credit card lender walk out into the middle of the throng of people and shout out to you to ask for your account information? Would you tell him where everyone could hear? Definitely not! The same caution should be exercised when checking your e-mail. These tips can help you stop scammers dead in their tracks while keeping you from becoming another victim of fraud or theft.

Alien Intruders..!!!

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:14:00 +0000

You probably didn't casually invite, or extend a formal attendance request to, these undesirables known as viruses.

Regardless of your opinions, such cyber-nomads may call on you, complete and active, with their destructive payloads.

So what is a virus?

A virus is a program that can self replicate or reproduce itself.

These programmable pirates have a special talent for attaching themselves to executable programmes. When such programmes are executed (often by you, but not always), so is the virus.

They don't necessarily have an ".exe" file extension and are relative masters of disguise. Extensions can be doubled-up to create an optical illusion or optically misleading appearance.

A boot sector virus is probably the worst in so far as it will upset the normal loading of your operating system and therefore, disable your computer. Pointers to your 0.S., can be overwritten, effectively, rendering it to be non-existant. That's never a good thing but not the end of the world, however it seems.

Following, is an example of how devilishly deceptive these vindictive vermon are, in their presentation

A friend of mine rang me last week in a distressed state, with news that her I.S.P. was threatening to shut down her e-mail account because her computer contained viruses affecting her outgoing mail This message seemed to come from her provider but in fact was created by a worm (type of virus). The e-mail was complete with the providers U.R.L., instructions to open its attachment (which it claimed that it contained a free virus cleaner) and even a password to access the attachment. This password could "swing" some cautious people to believe that the attachment was legitimate. Indeed there was only one mistake and it was that the e-mail in question was addressed to "Dear account holder" and not her specific e-mail address.

What is often helpful in determining legitimatacy, is to simply check the properties of the particular mail or e-letter. Where the "from" field can be set to display any name(as spammers demonstrate), more info. via the properties option, may help you to decide.

Attachments are potentially dangerous. You should train yourself to look for such things, and not exclusively this. If you have a suspicion, ignore them. If it seems an awful lot more important than account closure warnings (family matters), then simply ring the addressee in question. Surely most other matters can wait until office opening hours in cases where 24-hour telephone support is not an option. Incidentally, the described worm is a BAGLE variant and is currently in circulation and though it can be cleaned, can also be disruptive.

Smallish text files can be copied and pasted into your e-mail client, eliminating an unnecessary attachment. Doing this will increase the chances of your friends recieving your mail as account providers can have automated software that block mail outside certain perameters, and often legitimate ones are blocked. The limitation when pasted directly into your client is file size.

Incidentally, free and other accounts, in a bid to obliterate spam, can make sucessful mail delivery a nightmare. An option is to put your info./file/picture on some free webspace and simply e-mail the link to it.

Another virus infects your macros( a program,within a program that is similar in delivery to predictive text), and is known as a macro virus and affects the usability of associated files, which are usually files produced using text editors or word processing programs.

Saving such files in R.T.F. or rich text format where you have an otpion, is helpful. Turning your macros "off" could be considered, but their benefits are lost and the virus has won, even before entry.

These are harmless enough and there is no need to freak out. A free cleaning option is mentioned below.

If your great grandmother, untypically sends you software as an attachment, and typically sends you a woolen sweater, then alarm bells should sound.

Anyone who depends on their P.C. as a tool and not a toy, needless to say, should discourage forwarded jokes.These jokes can be time-consuming to read, can be colossal in number, are often habitually forwarded, and not really worth the threat. Believe me when I say that I'm opposite to a "killjoy" and mean this, for semi-serious users who rely on their respective and respected machines.

Consciously or unconsciously, forwarding is "viral", and a perfect vechicle to that end. While it is a very useful and functional tool, perhaps its' use could be limited to its' initial purpose. Human interaction can contribute to the propagation of "troublesome transients". There are other ways to communicate with your friends.

Of course, if you can afford it, you should get an anti-virus program. Corporations, companies and anyone without financial restraint have such programs updated continuously as no-one can predict when (in real time) that some virus creator will decide to unleash his newest version. Previous virus definitions are of little use in protecting against future viruses. Such definitions describe the nature (how and where infection occurs) and an engine is used to scan or locate and clean the infected files. Given the reproductive properties of viruses, the amount of such infected files can be enormous and sometimes they are files with particular extensions.

Regular domestic P.C. users should probably update their definitions weekly and there are anti -virus software manufacturers that will scan your machine for free (use your search engine) but it should be remembered that the virus could already be in your machine at this stage. The program that you pay for can block them at all entry points and is the nearest thing to protection.

Definitive protection requires you to connect to nothing, insert or install nothing, network with no one, and perhaps swabbing your machine with an industrial disinfectant. However, I would consider such measures to be excessive and no way to live your productive life.

Wishing you the best of luck for the future, and may your connection with these "malicious modem and medium migrants" be in the singular, as most of us learn more diligently(not faster), through experience.

Are You A Spam Zombie?

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:11:00 +0000

Over the past few years you've all become familiar with the terms spam, spam filter, whitelists, blacklists and a whole myriad of other terminology associated with the problem of spam. You now have to add a new and extremely worrying phrase to that list - spam zombie.

With the net closing in around them spammers are looking for new and more inventive ways to send out their junk email. Spam filters and challenge response systems are becoming progressively more intelligent and blocking more spam each day. What was a spammer to do? The spammers took the next step - infiltrating your PC and using it as a spamming tool.

When most of you think of the word zombie you're reminded of old B movies with groaning zombies chasing the terrified actress through a castle, swamp or whatever low cost setting the movie revolved around. Spam zombies are, however, far more real and far more dangerous.

A spam zombie is when your computer is taken over by a type of virus called a Trojan. Once this Trojan virus is on your computer it sets up an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) application which allows it to begin sending email directly from your PC to tens of thousands of victims. This all happens invisibly in the background and can be difficult to detect for even the experienced computer user.

How do these Trojans get onto your computer? As in most cases they come from porn, warez or similar sites. One of the first spam zombie trojans to appear became available via a link on sites promising viewers free access to a porno webcam. One click later and the Trojan is installed on your computer ready to send out spam. Phatbot and Proxy-Guzu are two of the more common Trojans used for the purpose of turning your computer into a spam zombie.

How can you check if your computer has become a spam zombie? Make absolutely certain that both your anti-virus and firewall software have current detection signatures and have been completely patched and updated. Working online without taking these necessary security precautions is simply asking for trouble.

Internet Service Providers are under huge pressure to quarantine the IP address of any computer which has been turned into a spam zombie. This is done on the basis that the ISP risks their entire IP range being blacklisted or banned by some spam filtering services or companies.

The very least you owe yourself is to run a full virus and spyware scan on your computer today. You might be unpleasantly surprised at what you'll find lurking there.

Tips For Safer Computing Online

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:47:00 +0000

New computer viruses threaten the unwary user everyday. Hackers
jeopardize your online security with invasive computer techniques to
steal your passwords, personal information, even identity.

Unscrupulous marketers bait you with free software that unleashes
spyware, trojans, or worms, on your system.

While other marketers bombard you with popups at every turn. And
others send unsolicited spy emails asking you to click links to unsafe websites that install threating software on your computer, or try to download your private information.

These are only a few of the security issues involved while online.

Read through the following list to arm your computer and protect yourself against these vicious and often malicious online attacks.

1. Install a good anti-virus software.
Here's a good free anti-virus software...
Fr** AVG Anti-Virus......
New - AVG Fr** Edition is now available for all single home users
worldwide! More detailed information can be found in the AVG Free
Edition License Agreement.

2. Install a personal firewall.
This personal firewall is one of the best online....

3. Install a good pop up blocker.
Google has a free pop up blocker so does Yahoo. The only drawback
is you will have to download and install their toolbar.

4. Know Privacy Policy.
Read the websites privacy policy before releasing personal information.
Note do they share or sell your information with third parties. If they do you might reconsider releasing your personal information.

5. Passwords.
Never use easy to guess passwords like your favorite color, your social security number, your birthdate, words less than six characters. Mix up passwords with combinations of numbers and symbols.

6.Virus Warnings.
Don't forward virus warnings you receive in emails. It's not your
job to warn others. And you might be circulating a fake warning
designed to scare receivers into downloading trojans or removing
important files on their computer.

7. Keep It Secret.
Don't give your password to anyone. Be wary of emails asking you to give out your personal passwords for accounts online. Or emails asking you to click a link and enter your password on the site. This site might be a fake sent by hackers "phishing" for victims.

8. Primary Email Address.
Don't divulge your primary email address on unfamiliar sites. You
might be bombarded with unsolicited emails by marketers who
sell your address to third parties online.

9. Free Accounts
Set up several free email accounts with a psuedo name to handle
spam, when you register with unfamiliar sites, or to use on chat and message boards.

10. Chat Line And Message Board Warnings.
Don't release personal information on chat lines or
message boards. This is one way many identity thefts occur.

Hide IP address

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 09:58:00 +0000

Hiding your IP address is the best way for surfing the net anonymously. IP address is the Internet protocol address. This is the unique address of a computer on the Internet. The IP address consists of four numbers divided by periods. These numbers indicate the domain, the subnetwork, the network and the host computer. Each IP address mostly has an equivalent domain name address, spelled with four letters. It is very important to hide your IP address online. Hiding your IP address online ensures that your personal information is not leaked out to the outsiders.

By installing software in your PC, you can hide your IP address. Anonymous surfing of the web will enable you to safeguard your Internet privacy. There is nothing illegal in hiding your IP address, for the proper reasons. If you have any doubt regarding this you can always consult your legal advisor. The legal advisor can guide you about the matter.

An IP address changer can help you change your IP address when you are surfing online. The tools of IP address changer will let you change your IP address anytime by routing your Internet traffic through an overseas server. The tool has drop down box that enables the user to choose an IP address from one of the countries mentioned in the box. Hiding your IP address is the best option to protect your self from any kind of fraud.

Hiding your IP address also enables you to protect your computer from spyware. Spyware is the software that monitors the activities of the user of a computer. Some webmasters and software producers offer free downloads for your computer. Most of the free downloads are embedded with spyware. After you complete the download, the spyware gets installed in your computer and your activities can be monitored.

Hiding your IP address also gives you freedom from the constantly bombarding pop up ads in your computer. Whenever you enter a website, you will be flooded by the pop up ads. Constant flooding of the pop up ads in the computer can be very irritating and disturbing for the user. The efficiency of the computer also gets diminished due to this. Your computer can stop functioning when you have an urgent piece of work to do. Hiding your IP address will protect you from such situation.

The main advantage of hiding your IP address is that you are protected from any website that wants to monitor your online habits and activities. Hiding the IP address also makes sure that you do not receive any junk or bulk emails in your inbox. Good software for hiding your IP address will keep your computer safe from the hackers. If the software has the ability to support frequent IP address change, the chances of protecting your privacy increases.

You can also use the web-based email to send anonymous email to people. This can sometimes be necessary for your work. Your IP address is meant for your personal use and nobody has the right to misuse this without your permission.

Computer Backup

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 09:55:00 +0000

Computer backup is so important to your computer that to ignore it is to risk its damnation.

Computers require care and feeding. They require that you attend to their needs. If you don't, then they will most surely be sent to Hell.

Halloween means Hell. What! What do you mean that Halloween means Hell?

Well, if your computer is given the option of trick or treat, which will it accept? Will it accept the trick or the treat? What do you think?

Halloween is the time that computers are subject to tricks or treats. Did you know that more computers fail on Halloween than any other day of the year? That’s right. It’s true (smile). Your computer is in danger! Protect it. Do your computer backups.

Back to the Hell thing. Hell you say? Yep. Well, what do you mean by Hell?

Computer hell is the place for computers without computer backup. The failure to perform hard drive backup means that you are playing Russian Roulette with your data. Data needs your protection. Failure to protect your data may cause your home or business records to be sent to Hell.

Hell in this instance is for the records and files that cannot be resurrected. Resurrected you say, what does that mean?

It means that without computer backup as a source of salvation then the files can safely enjoy eternal oblivion. Oblivion you say, what does that mean? That means they are eternally lost from computer resurrection.

Is there any mercy for my precious files, you ask?

Why yes there is. Would like to know what the mercy for your files is? Yes! Yes! You say.

OK boys and girls listen carefully. The salvation, mercy, resurrection and redemption of your files lies in regular and consistent and persistent computer backup.

If you backup your computer consistently and persistently your files will be resurrected and saved from accidental deletion, hard drive failure and those nasty things like fire, flood, theft, earthquake, hurricanes, tornados and the like!

Computer backup is the key to your data's salvation!

Do your computer backups boys and girls.

Milk and cookies will be served in the pantry.

Trick or treat for your computer backup?

Data Recovery Software?

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 09:51:00 +0000

Data recovery is something we hope that we will never need. Whether you simply make the mistake of deleting important software or you lose it all in a computer crash, that valuable asset of information may seem like it is lost forever. But, if you have complete and quality data-recovery software on your computer or through your system, you can be confident that it has a backup and it is there even though these things will happen to you. This can be so important when it comes to safeguarding your business or your personal information.

What people do not realize is that there are a number of ways that things can go wrong on their computers. Whether you are responsible for the computers of a large corporation, a small business or even just your own personal computer, having a way to restore information when things go wrong is quite important. Here are some things that could happen to you, well, anytime, even right now. Your computer could be running slowly or be loaded with powerful spyware that can destroy files, transmit personal data or, even worse, cause the computer to crash. All of a sudden, it’s gone. Or, you could be working along nicely without a care in the world and bam! A power surge, an electric storm or something else electrical happens and it’s all gone.

There are many more ways in which you can lose all of the personal data that is stored on your computer. You don’t even have to have the programs running to lose it. Nevertheless, many people mistakenly believe this will not happen to them and therefore do not do anything to prevent this total loss. Data recovery is necessary for this not to happen. The strange thing is, it takes only minutes to install and use and it virtually and it takes care of itself. It is not overly costly either. So, why don’t more people use data recovery? They just don’t realize its importance. And that is one mistake we don’t want to make. Data recovery is a need all computer users have.

Computer Worm?

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 08:42:00 +0000

Worms aren't just for dogs anymore. Find out how to inoculate your computer against these nasty parasites.

What Are Worms?

Worms are descended from viruses and are even nastier. Just as ever stronger doses of pesticide breed ever more resilient locusts, better and better anti-spyware software bred ever more devious viruses.

Finally, some virus designers stopped having their creations infect and take over files the way real viruses infect and take over cells. Instead, they created programs that could stand on their own and cause plenty of trouble without the help of any other software applications. Just worms are independent organisms that can infect a host directly, so do computer worms infect computers directly.

What Do Worms Do?

Worm designers are often even more sinister than virus designers, since worm designers are not just vandals. Worm designers often use their creations to achieve specific goals:

• Backdoor creation. Worms often try to set up another kind of malware, a backdoor. A backdoor is a hidden opening in your network connection that lets the worm send data out and take data in. Practically speaking, the data it's sending out are often spam emails, and the data it takes in are instructions on spam emails to send.

• Denial of service attack. Some worm designers really are vandals rather than profit-hungry con artists sending spam. But their vandalism can be more targeted. They use worms to send out numerous requests to remote computers, such as web servers, in order to overwhelm them and therefore shut them down. This is called a denial of service attack.

• Spyware, Trojan, adware, and virus installation. Worms are often used simply to unleash other forms of malware on a computer that might otherwise block them.

• Information theft and fraud.Worms can multitask in order to set up spyware that gathers sensitive information--often financial information--and then set up backdoors, Trojans, viruses, or dialers to disseminate the stolen data.

How Do Worms End Up on a PC?

Worms enter PCs just as viruses, spyware and other malware do: any way they can! Some favorite points of entry for worms:

• Websites can actually download software to your computer without you realizing it. This software includes not only worms, but also spyware, adware, viruses, and other malware. These malware programs find their way into websites either by the deliberate design of the site owner or because hackers have installed the software on the website's server.

• Peer-to-peer file-sharing networkscontain many nice-enough-looking files that are really worms. One of the sneakiest disguises is a filename that indicates the spyware is really a video of a beautiful actress.

• Email, the favored route of viruses, can still be exploited by Spyware. But since new email programs usually block the automatic opening of file attachments, this is less of a problem than it used to be.

• Any internet connection inevitably lets data flow both in and out, and so is vulnerable to attacks by worms.

How Do You Get Rid of Worms?

There's really only one good way to make sure your computer is rid of worms: scan it with multiple antivirus and anti-spyware programs using a full-system scan. Worms are tricky, so anything less than a full-system scan might let them escape. Worse, with new worms coming out all the time, some antivirus and anti-spyware packages may not even know about a new worm until after its wreaking havoc on your machine. That's why you should try using more than one antivirus program and more than one anti-spyware program to increase your odds of successfully detecting the malware.

Don't have more than one anti-spyware and antivirus software? You'd better start downloading. After all, worms won't take excuses.

Just Let you know about Internet evil

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 08:39:00 +0000

Ads, Spyware and Popups: the Internet is an aggressively commercial place. Internet marketing is hugely profitable; owners of frequently visited websites can make a reasonable living just off a few banner ads placed on their site. Software was quickly developed that would attempt to block these ads from loading and being displayed leaving the Internet free from irritants so the user could just view the information that they were after. Not surprisingly the Internet fought back with ads becoming more and more tricky in their execution.

The Internet pornography industry is often at the forefront of new advertising technologies. It was they who first discovered methods to lock the 'back' button on the browser from allowing users who stumbled (accidentally or otherwise) into the 'darker' areas of the Internet. Then came Internet-hijacking: changing a browser's home page so that every time the Internet is connected the user is instantly taken to a certain site. There are ads that lie dormant in the system and pop up long after the user has moved on from the original site or even after they've stopped using the internet. These people went everywhere they could, and the rest of the Internet world soon followed.

So, how can we keep ourselves safe? Unfortunately, the answer usually lies in having a number of protection programs running in the background at all times which can slow down a computer. This is a lot more positive than having a computer terminally slowed down by the malicious side of the Internet though, so we just have to take the bad with the good.

The first port of call should be an anti-virus program. If you're even vaguely concerned about online security you're going to need one installed. A friend of mine decided that this was a foolish suggestion and picked up almost 100 viruses in a single day. These programs range in price and quality, with more expensive (but very good) packages such as Norton's Anti Virus (or their comprehensive Internet Security bundle) or free programs, such as AVG Free Edition, available from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

Once you have your computer protected from automated viruses it's time to shield yourself from malicious hackers and their kind with a firewall. Windows XP comes with a firewall straight out of the box, with Service Pack 2 offering security upgrades. MacOS also has a firewall. It's often not a bad idea to install a third party one though, as they are generally more customisable and in a lot of cases more secure. A few good firewalls are ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp) and Kerio Personal Firewall (http://www.kerio.com/kpf_home.html) as well as those offered in the commercial Internet security packages (such as Norton's, mentioned above).

Next up is the Spyware and ad blocking software that was the initial concern. The two major software packages for spyware protection and removal are Spybot- Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html) and AdAware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) although there are alternatives including a recent Microsoft release. (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx).
These threats are often not dealt with by Internet security packs (strangely enough) although some protection is now starting to be included.

Chances are you will have picked up an ad blocker somewhere in the collection of programs by now, but just in case you can make your Internet browsing experience a less commercial affair by downloading software such as Hitware Lite (http://www.rightutilities.com/products/hitwarelite/hitware_lite.htm) or Stop the Popup (http://www.stopthepopup.com/). These programs stop ads before they reach you, leaving you to browse only the information you're after.

Besides installing protection software your best bet is just to be careful with your surfing. Don't open weird emails with strange attachments if you don't know the origins (don't even open the email... often the viruses and Trojans will have an auto open script written into the email itself, so you've instantly opened up your computer by simply looking at the email). Be careful about the sites you visit. Make sure that you're well protected before entering the Internet 'grey' areas, such as ROM, Warez, Appz etc. sites. If you perform a web search and some of the sites that show up have descriptions and titles consisting only of keywords, it's usually a fair bet that you should stay clear of that site. It usually won't have anything useful to offer and may contain hazardous material. With a bit of care you can keep your system going strong and enjoy the Internet safely and relatively ad free.

Tarif GSM-CDMA akan Turun hingga 30 Persen

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 12:05:00 +0000

JAKARTA - Tarif pulsa telepon seluler di Indonesia dipastikan akan turun hingga 30 persen pada tahun ini. Pemerintah sedang ancang-ancang untuk membuat kebijakan menurunkan tarif seluler untuk GSM dan CDMA.

Hal itu dipastikan oleh Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika (Menkominfo) Muhammad Nuh dalam breakfast meeting dengan operator seluler di Jakarta, Rabu (9/1). "Kepmennya (Keputusan Menteri) soal tarif ini akan dirilis akhir Januari (2008) ini," kata Nuh.

Mengenai besarannya, jelas Menkominfo, dipastikan tarif ritel seluler akan turun mulai 10 persen hingga 30 persen. Keputusan ini mulai mengerucut setelah para operator dengan Depkominfo ini terus melakukan pertemuan membahas tarif.

Menurut Nuh, setidaknya dibutuhkan dua kali pertemuan lagi dengan seluruh operator seluler untuk memfinalkan penetapan tarif tersebut. Untuk kepentingan ini, Menteri akan proaktif dengan mengundang seluruh operator. "Senin (14/01) depan kita undang semua operator untuk mengkonfirmasi tarif ini," ujarnya.

Meski demikian, tambah Nuh, Kepmenkominfo tidak bisa langsung menurunkan tarif sekaligus. "Walaupun kita sudah diskusi dengan seluruh operator, implementasi tarif baru ini harus menunggu kesiapan mereka (operator)," tegas M Nuh.

Menurutnya, perusahaan-perusahaan penyedia seluler itu mesti menata ulang sistem komputernya dengan tarif yang baru. Sistem adalah salah satu persiapan yang harus dilakukan operator. Namun persiapan ini tak memerlukan waktu lama karena sistem mereka sudah berbasis komputer.

Dia juga menerangkan, penetapan tarif baru ini bukan sebagai bentuk campur tangan pemerintah atas kebijakan operator. Nuh menegaskan, pihaknya hanya menjalankan fungsi sebagai regulator yang dalam hal ini melindungi konsumen dari tarif yang terlalu tinggi. Juga menjaga kompetisi antar operator agar tidak mengarah pada price predatory atau menetapkan tarif di bawah biaya produksinya.

Lagipula, penetapan tarif tersebut bersifat fleksibel. Artinya operator bisa menurunkan tarifnya dalam kisaran 10-30%. "Kita tidak katakan operator A tarifnya harus sekian lalu operator B harus sekian," ujarnya.

Di sisi lain, Nuh memastikan penurunan tarif ritel akan mendongkrak keuntungan operator. "Saya pastikan kalau tarif turun untung akan naik. Coba buktikan saja dengan menurunkan tarif," tuturnya.

Menurun
Keputusan Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU) yang menyatakan terjadinya pelanggaran persaingan usaha oleh Temasek Group, pemilik PT Indosat Tbk dengan PT Telekomunikasi Seluler (Telkomsel) ternyata berimbas pada tarif seluler ke depan.

Hal ini diakui oleh sejumlah operator, meskipun menampik sebabnya. Direktur Corporate Services PT Indosat Tbk (Indosat) Wahyu Wijayadi mengatakan, tren tarif seluler akan semakin menurun pada saat-saat mendatang.

Namun demikian, hal ini bukan disebabkan oleh keputusan KPPU tersebut. Menurutnya, tren menurunnya harga seluler itu karena persaingan yang semakin sengit. "Saat ini industri telekomunikasi sedang tumbuh tapi saat nanti dia berada di fase mature (dewasa) secara natural tarif akan turun," ujarnya.

Pada saat mature ini, persaingan akan mengarah pada hal murah dan efisiennya masyarakat saat berkomunikasi. "Ini yang menyebabkan banyak vendor menurunkan tarifnya," kata Wahyu.

Kondisi ini, sambung dia, didukung oleh perangkat-perangkat teknologi yang semakin efisien sehingga operator memungkinkan memangkas biaya produksinya.

Mengenai campur tangannya pemerintah dalam menentukan penurunan tarif ini, Wahyu enggan berkomentar. Meski demikian, perusahaanya tetap akan mematuhi apa yang digariskan oleh pemerintah. Demikian juga dengan rencana penurunan tarif dari antara 10 persen hingga 30 persen.

Hal sama diutarakan oleh Direktur Utama PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel) Kiskenda. Menurutnya, Telkomsel juga akan melaksanakan segala aturan yang ditentukan oleh pemerintah. Direktur Utama PT Excelcomindo Pratama Tbk Hasnul Suhaimi juga bersikap sama saat ditanya soal besaran 10-30% tersebut. "Saya tidak mau komentar sekarang," kata dia. (PersdaNetwork/ewa)

Mengamankan situs dengan robot.txt

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 06:41:00 +0000

Setiap pemilik website tentunya menginginkan agar situsnya aman, apalagi pemilik online store. Untuk melindungi folder dimana data-data penting anda disimpan. Konsep dari robot.txt ini adalah mencegah pengindeksan terhadap ditus yang anda punya. Langsung saja, cara membuatnya hanya notepad dengan mengetikan.

User-Agent: *

Disallow: /

Setelah tanda (/) anda dapat langsung memasukan folder mana yang anda ingin sembunyikan

Contoh : Disallow: /comersus/

Selanjutnya tinggal menyimpan (upload) robot.txt yang berisikan text diatas pada root situs anda.

Contoh posisi dimana robot.txt harus disimpan:http://www.contohwarung.com/robot.txt

Tahap selanjutnya adalah mengirimkan email kepada googlebot@google.com yang berisi tentang pemberitahuan atas perubahan dan lokasi file tersebut. Tinggal menunggu admin google memproses permintaan anda selama 2 x 24 jam (bisa saja lebih dari itu, makanya bersabarlah).

Menggunakan perintah net send untuk mengirim pesan pada computer jaringan

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 06:37:00 +0000

Perintah net send digunakan dengan command prompt, dan caranya adalah :

Start menu -> Run -> ketik cmd untuk memasuki command prompt

Start menu -> all program -> Accessories -> click command prompt

Setelah anda berada pada command prompt ketik NET SEND * pesan yang akan ditampilkan.

Tanda (*) bisa digantikan dengan nama user lain yang sedang aktif,

Dan syarat lainnya tentunya harus ada computer lain yang berada pada satu jaringan. Perintah net send ini bisa dipraktekan pada warnet warnet tertentu bila tidak diblokir ole si admin. Lumayan buat ngisengin orang atau buat apa aja yang penting bukan buat kejahatan dan tindak kriminal.

Web Lucu

noreply@blogger.com (Faridz..07) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 04:01:00 +0000

Mungkin udah banyak yang tahu soal http://www.007google.com bagi yang belum tahu aku kasih tahu.. web ini bisa memanipulasi tulisan search engine google menjadi apapun yang kita mau, prosesnya pun sangat mudah hanya tinggal memasukan nama kedalam form lalu memilih jenis tulisa/font, dan setelah puas tekan maka jadilah nama kita mejeng di search engine. tapi lihat baik-baik web ini berbeda dengan google meskipun tampilannya sama. coba kalian lihat pada web addressnya pastilah sangat berbeda dengan http://www.google.com
berikut ini tampilan webnya

dan ini gambar setelah jadi.

Software Trial

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 08:37:00 +0000

Menggunakan software trial layaknya software full version.

Bagaimana cara menggunakan software trial menjadi software asli atau full version? Langsung saja menjelaskan cara kerja software trial, software ini bekerja berdasarkan waktu yang telah ditentukan misalnya masa coba/trialnya 5 hari dihitung dari waktu pemasangan software. Software tersebut akan menyesuaikan waktu dengan pengaturan waktu yang ada pada computer kita. Sudah tahu apa yang harus kita lakukan? Benar, memundurkan waktu yang ada pada BIOS computer kita caranya dengan melakukan Reboot/restart pada computer kita, setelah computer mulai menyala dan memunculkan pesan yang kira-kira berbunyai “press DEL to enter the setup” langsung tekan tombol DELETE pada keyboard maka kamu akan dibawa pada layar setting BIOS CMOS, di menu ini kontol pemilihan menu hanya dilakukan dengan keyboard dan tanpa mouse.

Kontrol yang digunakan adalah :

1. keypad arah untuk memilih menu

2. tombol enter untuk mengakses menu

3. tombol F10 untuk keluar dari BIOS setting dan menyimpan perubahan setting yang telah anda buat.

4. Tombol esq untuk keluar dari menu

Setelah mengetahui kontrolnya kita akan masuk pada menu “standard CMOS Features”. Didalamnya akan terdapat menu pengaturan waktu, silahkan edit waktu terbut mundur beberapa hari/bulan/tahun dari waktu pemasangan software tersebut. Dengan cara menekan tombol arah atas, dan arah bawah untuk memundurkan dan memajukan waktu. Setelah selesai mengatur waktu yang anda lakukan adalah keluar dari menu, maka anda akan kembali ke menu utama, setelah itu pilih menu “save & exit setup” untuk keluar dari BIOS setup. Secara otomatis computer anda akan melakukan restart dan kembali kepada windows. Cara ini mungkin tidak bekerja pada sebagian sotware, dan trimakasih telah menyempatkan waktu untuk membaca artikel saya.

Power Up Firefox

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 11:44:00 +0000

Sajaknya popularitas “Internet Explorer” milik Microsoft semakin menurun,
hal ini terjadi karena para user lebih memilih “Mozilla Firefox”
yang kadang kita rasakan lebih cepat dan tidak memakan banyak memory.
Kenyataan tentang kecepatan browsing Firefox ini bahkan bisa kita tingkatkan lagi karena aplikasi ini ternyata adalah aplikasi “open source”,
dan dengan berkut ini firefox dapat ditingkatkan kecepatannya:

1. Pada URL bar ketikan “about:config” tanpa tanda petik.

2. Berikut akan muncul menu dengan tampilan “detail” pada firefox

3. Cari code ini pada firefox:

browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true (boolean)
network.http.max-connections – 48 (integer)
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16 (integer)
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8 (integer)
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4 (integer)
network.http.pipelining – true (boolean)
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100 (integer)
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true (boolean)
network.http.request.timeout – 300 (integer)
nglayout.initialpaint.delay - 0 (integer)

4. bilamana code diatas ada dan value nya tidak sesuai yang diatas maka kamu dapat menggantinya dengan cara melakukan "double click" dan langsung mengganti valuenya

5. oh saya belum kasih tahu, tanda - pada code diatas menunjukkan value daripada code itu sendiri.

6. dan bilamana code tersebut setelah kamu cari ternyata tidak ada maka, kamu bisa membuat code tersebut sendiri dengan cara click kanan dimana saja kemudian pilih "new" dan pilih salah satu dari tiga pilihan (integer/boolean/string) sesuai ketrangan yang ada diatas.

7. berikutnya adalah akan muncul box baru, disini kita diminta memasukkan nama dari code tersebut. copy-paste nama code diatas kedalam box tersebut.

8. Box baru akan muncul kembali, kali ini kamu diminta memasukkan value dari code tersebut. sama seperti code nama, kamu tinggal copy-paste valuenya sama seperti
diatas.

9. setelah selesai, firefox brwoser kamu insyallah akan bertambah kecepatannya

Batch Software

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 11:41:00 +0000

Isen-iseng buat software untuk ngehapus string string yang biasanya dibuat virus. Awalnya sih buat personal aja soalnya kadang ada orang-orang yang tiba-tiba mengeksekusi file virus di pc ku. Gak tahu knapa tiba-tiba pengen nge publish source kodenya. Gak maksud apa-apa sih, tapi katanya semakin banyak ilmu dibagi maka akan bertambah terus. Software ini Cuma dibuat pake DOS atau batch, gak tahu nama sebenernya apaan he..he..he.. mungkin udah banyak yang tahu dibuatnya pake apa, but gak apa apa saya jelasin sekali lagi. Software ini dibuat dengan bahan yang sangat sederhana. Pertama siapkan satu bungkus "notpad" yang ada pada setiap OS windows dan bila ingin diperindah dengan mengubah ekstensi file tersebut menjadi .exe gunakan "batch compiler" yang bisa kamu dapetin dari mana aja. Gak usah lama-lama, source kodenya ada dibawah ini.

save kode kode diatas dan save as "repair.bat" hati-hati dalam mengunakan software tersebut karena software flash scanning akan menghapus semua file yang berekstensi .exe ; .vbs

software ini juga akan menghapus file autorun.inf (digunakan oleh virus untuk mengeksekusi dirinya pada saat removable disk di buka), file document palsu(virus, dan file yang bernama "folder.htt". udahan dulu ya… mudah mudahan dapat membantu.

Cerita Regedit

noreply@blogger.com (FaR__Ghost) — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 11:40:00 +0000

Nerusin cerita…

Gimana kalo msconfig ngak bisa dibuka?

Solusinya ya Cuma buka regedit and ngehapus string value yang ada di bla..bla..bla..

Dari awal aja critanya, semisal si virus juga ngeblokir msconfig, masih ada jalan laen yaitu lewat taskmanager -> file ->New task (Run) kemudian type “regedit”

Nah setelah tu regedit keluar ada trees menu (kalo gak salah namanya itu) yang cukup banyak and bingungin, Tapi insyallah gue bakalan nerangin satu per satu. Lets start virus hunting..

1. Find the string that contain virus file startup.. lokasinya di

· HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> microsoft -> windows -> CurrentVersion -> Run/RunOnce/RunOnceX

· HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> software -> microsoft -> windows -> CurrentVersion ->

Run

2. Just like di artikel sebelumnya cek satu persatu string di key “Run” dengan cara double click pada string tersebut, lihat “Value data” bar, check alamatnya dan kalau string tersebut ternyata memuat (Load) file virus silahkan hapus saja string tersebut.

3. Dan untuk memastikan bahwa Run, dan search menu kita dapat berfungsi secara normal kembali,maka check key pada

· HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer /NoRun

· HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

/ NoFInd

Dan masih banyak string-string yang dibuat oleh virus.

4. Setelah ketemu string diatas lihat “value nya” dan bilamana value string tersebut angka “1” maka ganti dengan angka “0”. Angka 1 menunjukkan kalo string tersebut masih aktif.

Akhir cerita saya hanya menyarankan bahwa tindakan preventif atau mencegah lebih baik daripada mengobati. Kesimpulannya bahwa kita harus tahu benar tentang sistem OS komputer kita, agar kita dapat memproteksi sendiri komputer kita dari para penjahat, dan pastinya menghemat biaya kalo kompi rusak dalam hal OS, gue punya satu tips lagi buat ngejaga biar komputer kaga lemot, check this out…

1. Jalankan disk defragmenter yang ada di start menu -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter. Setelah ada menu pilih salah satu drive dan pilih defragment. Jalankan defragment secara berkala dan rutin.

2. Kurangi jumlah file yang run pada startup file lewat msconfig maupun lewat regedit.

Terima kasih, dan mohon maaf bilamana banyak kesalahan saya dalam hal komputer. Bagi para senior komputer yang mau mampir ke blog saya saya ucapkan sangat berterima kasih, karena saya masih sangat awam dalam hal komputer dimohon untuk para senior memberikan tips, kritik, maupun saran kepada saya di Cyber.falzar@gmail.com.

Pemburu Virus

Virus Kurang ajar…

Komputer gue baru-baru ini kena virus hanya gara-gara sebuah flashdisk..

Gue juga kaga tahu virus jenis apa itu, tapi jelasnya dia memanfaatkan "desktop.ini" dan "autorun.inf" yang biasanya digunakan oleh banyak orang untuk memperindah background, dan icon mereka. Virus ini juga membuat file Recycle.exe didalam flash itu, sehingga ketika kita melakukan double click untuk membuka file tersebut maka hasilnya adalah kita tidak diijinkan untuk mengakses drive tersebut. Dan ketika kita "right click" pada drive tersebut maka akan muncul tulisan yang gak jelas, dan tulisan itulah autorun yang dibuat oleh virus untuk memblokir flashdisk kita. Sebenarnya kita masih bisa untuk mengakses flashdisk tersebut tetapi dengan cara lain. Yaitu dengan "right click" pada drive flashdisk dan click open.

Lanjutan cerita ternyata ntu virus udah nular kemana mana karena file virus bericon folder telah dieksekusi oleh seseorang {file virus yang bericon folder biasanya berekstensi (nama folder).exe}. Dan dampaknya Folder option,Run, search, taskmanager, dan regedit pada komputer telah diblokir oleh si virus. Pinter juga nie virus setelah menutup semua aplikasi yang mengancam nyawanya dia mencoba menutupi identitas dirinya dengan menggunakan menu pada folder option yaitu hide extensions for known file types,hide protected operating system files, dan don’t show hiden files and folders.

Waktu itu gue kaga bisa ngapa-ngapain karena akses untuk masuk ke folder option pada

My computer -> tools -> f

older options telah hilang. Setelah muter otak dikit, gue teringat oleh aplikasi iseng yang pernah gue buat make Visual basic 06, namanya Locker & Unlocker. Gue buka tu aplikasi dan gue unlock semua aplikasi yang telah diblokir si virus jahat. Eh blum selesai sampe situ, virusnya masih bisa hidup lagi kalo kita kaga matiin si virus yang ada pada processesnya taskmanager, dan yang ada pada regedit (windows registry editor). Komputer kaga gue restart dulu dan gue gue mau end proses si virus dulu (setiap virus mempunyai image name yang berbeda beda), setelah gue bunuh proses yang mencurigakan. Gue clingak-clinguk nyari Run yang udah gue unlock kok blum muncul juga?? Gue baru inget kalo efeknya baru jalan setelah komputer direstart. Tidak ada cara lain lagi, gue inget kalo tadi waktu gue buka task manager (ctrl+alt+del) ada yang buat ngeRun New task lokasinya di

task manager ->files->new task (run)

disitu gue ketik "msconfig" tanpa petik. Setelah itu masuk ke menu startup, disinilah terdapat daftar-daftar file yang akan diload pada saat windows start. Jika pada komputer kalian terdapat tanda check yang sangat banyak bisa diperkirakan komputer akan berjalan semakin lambat, jadi semakin banyak file yang didaftarkan pada startup maka komputer akan berusaha menjalankan semuanya dan kemungkingan besar komputer saat pertama kali dijalankan menjadi lambat. Oh.. jadi lupa kalo tadi mau ngebahas virus, jadi begini (halah) pada dasarnya virus ada pada salahsatu check box. Mungkin sulit bagi kalian yang belum pernah membuka msconfig untuk menyimpulkan yang mana yang virus yang mana yang file system windows, tetapi jika kalian sering melakukan pengecheckan makan file virus akan sangat mudah ditebak. Berikut tips untuk mencurigai file virus:

1. Pada menu startup lihat ada "command" disitulah lokasi file tersebut, buka explorer, lalu cari lokasi dari file tersebut.

2. Jangan lupa sebelum proses pencarian buka explorer->tools->folder option

3. Uncheck menu-menu berikut ini:

"hide extensions for known file types"

"hide protected operating system files"

"don’t show hiden files and folders"

File yang disembunyikan akan terlihat dengan icon agak transparant

4. Secara umum file legal (Bukan file virus) tidak akan disembunyikan

5. Tinggal mencari file ilegal yang hidden dan uncheck dari menu msconfig.

Untuk sementara itu dahulu, kapan-kapan disambung lagi cerita tentang

"virus yang nongkrong di Registry editor" yang gak jauh beda sama virus yang ada di msconfig

Sekian dulu artikel dari saya, mohon maaf bila ada banyak kesalahan, dan terima kasih telah meluangkan waktu kalian buat ngebaca artikel aku.
