Auto-fill softwares like Roboform, Google toolbar helps you by filling forms automatically. On one side you think it helps you because they saves you time. But do you know that there are more chances that you fall prey to spammers? This is how it goes.

 

When you enable auto-fill software to fill your forms, they fill the forms with your details without your concern. Whatever website it is, if it founds the word "e-mail" and a blank space, then the software fills it with your e-mail address automatically. Think once if the site you are visiting is a spam site. Then your mailbox will be full of spam emails only. Now-a-days these softwares has became more advanced that if you give your credit card details, then they fill them too...

 

That's why manual form filling is more safe. Just takes a minute to fill form, So why become lazy :-)

Mozilla Firefox is the second most used browser next to Internet Explorer. Firefox has many advantages over  IE and the main advantage is the way it surfs the internet. It has many security features that IE lacks and most important are the free addons that are developed by Mozilla Community. Though IE also has this type of addons, many of them are not  free. This is where Firefox beats IE. Firefox offers good safety while you surf without compromising the speed at which page loads and the system memory. So its time for IE users to shift to Firefox (my personal recommendation).

To download firefox, click here.

 

Now let us add more security to the secure browser. These are the must have addons for firefox.

1. Adblock Plus : (Bandwidth saver)

3. Flashblock :  (Bandwidth saver)

I always surprise how hackers get many license keys of Kaspersky and Nod32. Because these license keys that they post work until the company finds it and blacklists it. Even hackers created sites for publishing these keys. These keys that they post are daily updated. This has been a big question to me. How they get these keys daily? May be they work in that company. But that's not the case. Raymond has find something interesting that leads to genuine license keys being hacked. Click here to find more about this.

 

Don't know why the Security solution companies cannot protect themselves. A simple tool has exploited the security company servers and retrieve genuine license and distribute it to others (hackers).

 

Do you think these security vendors protect us when they are unable to protect themselves?

Many know Winamp as the best audio player but only some know it as audio converter. Winamp not only converts audio files but also converts videos into audio files. Winamp convert any audio file it plays into wma, wav, mp3 and more (AC3, ACELP.net, CCITT A-Law, CCITT u-Law, DSP, DTS, GSM, IMA ADPCM, Microsoft ADPCM, Microsoft G.723.1). It converts winamp playable formats (almost all) into any one of these formats.

To convert with Winamp follow these steps.
1. Open Winamp.
2. Click ctrl+P or Options> Preferences from menu bar. This opens winamp preferences window.
3. Scroll down to select Output under plugins.


4. Now select Nullsoft disk writer and click configure.
5. New window opens and there under conversion select convert to format. Click on the button below.


6. This opens another window and there you can select the format you wish. Some formats have low quality settings only, so see for high quality settings under each format. For example, MP3 format has only 56 kbps has highest in winamp where as wma has upto 160 kbps and wav (uncompressed). Now close all the windows by clicking OK or close.

Now that you've set your player as converter, you can start converting now. Play any song you want to convert in winamp. When the song is playing (plays faster than normal) no output is heard because winamp is internally converting the file. By default it saves the converted files into My Music folder. You can change the output folder from the window that described in step4. In this way you can convert any audio or video file into the above listed output formats.

Note : I noticed flv is not being converted, so there may be some more files which winamp cannot convert. But winamp converts majority of its audio and video formats.

Browser Hijacking has been a major threat in the present times. So though we are not yet affected by browser hijacking, we have to know the prevention of it to assure ourselves that we are on safe side. Before preventing a browser Hijack the following are signs for which you have to see whether your browser is hijacked or not.

1.First time you open and surf and then close the browser. The second time without your concern the browser automatically opens, even you try to close, multiple browser windows will be opened automatically.
2.Your Home Page is changed without your permission.
3.A pop-up says to install this software like "Antivirus 2009"...
4.Only some sites open and many don't, mainly security sites like symantec, Mcafee and more.
5.Too many Ads on your browser especially pop-ups.
6.New browser addons (toolbar) and icons installed on your browser without your concern.
7.Slow and sluggish system.

If you find more than two of above signs on your PC then take it from me, your browser is Hijacked. Since browser is the only door to the world of internet we've to make it strong and more secure that no one access your system and disturbs your privacy. Now-a-days online banking has been very popular it is must to secure our browser because with browser hijacking there is certain amount of risk involved in stealing your information. So if you find the above signs on your PC then start now to reduce the impact of browser hijacking.

Removing malicious software and removing browser hijack tools :
First and foremost thing you've to do is uninstall the browser addons by logging into safe mode. If you have any trouble logging into safe mode click here to see instructions on how to access safe mode.

• Internet Explorer users : From Menu bar, Tools> Manage Addons> Enable or Disable addons.

Other than Internet Explorer, other browsers show strong resistance against browser hijacking. Browsers like Firefox, Opera and other it's tough to hijack them. So I suggest every Internet Explorer user to change your browser to Firefox or Opera.

Secondly, download and run TrendMicro HijackThis. After installing HijackThis, run it and select scan and save log file. After it completes scan it will save the log file in the same HijackThis folder.

Now click here to go to HijackThis log analysis site. Click Browse at the bottom of page and select the log file of HijackThis and upload it. Now you can see which items are infected and which are safe. Keep your analysis window open and do HijackThis scan and check the infected items and remove them.

Also scan the whole computer and mainly WINDOWS and Program files folders with updated antivirus by logging into safe mode. In this way you can remove the browser hijacking objects.

Preventing future browser attacks :
1. Download and install Spyware Blaster, click here to download. This adds thousands of malicious sites list to the restricted sites list of Internet Explorer and Firefox and also provides more protection to your browser.
2. Download and install K9webProtection and prevent unsafe websites. Actually this is a parental control software but this will be very helpful to you in blocking malware sites.

These two softwares are free and these two provide additional security to your computer apart from your routine antivirus and firewall.

With the release of iPhone, Apple has made new rivals to it. Till now Apple's main rival has been Microsoft and now with the release of its new iPhone, Apple has made another BIG rival and it is the mobile developer leader NOKIA.


Recently Nokia has released their first media player "Nokia Music" for windows only. Everyone knows how popular is the iTunes from Apple. iTunes is major success not only on Mac but also on windows due to its stylish look and easy to use nature. But iTunes on windows has been a burden for many of users due its inability to play wma files. wma files are very common files on windows and some major Music stores sell their songs in this format only. Using iTunes and converting their wma files into AAC has been major trouble for people who have large music database. Nokia has overcame this problem with their new Music player known as "Nokia Music". The only difference between iTunes and Nokia Music is the playback of wma files.


This Nokia Music offers all features that many players offer like playback, ripping and syncing songs to portable players (Mainly Nokia phones). So people who like iTunes may give it a try and see which is better and if possible comment on which is better iTunes or Nokia Music?

You can download Nokia Music Player from here. (WIndows XP & Vista Only)

Spyware has been the latest and more powerful threat to computer users and many companies. Spyware is regarded as far more dangerous than Virus because of its ability to steal information. Atmost a virus can just damage the O.S of your computer. This is not a major issue to many home users because now-a-days many advanced file recovery softwares are available so that even after formatting the computer we can restore the files we need. But this not the case with spyware. A spyware is the tool used by hackers to steal precious information ( your email ID for spamming, your Credit card details for money and more...) from our computer. Spyware has been a major threat in present day world and we've to be able to know how to tackle with this spyware in case you are infected. As I always say "Prevention is better than Cure", preventing a spyware is much better than cleaning it after it attacks your computer. I already posted an article on how to prevent or save yourself from spyware with the available free tools.

The following are some good free antispyware programs :

1. Ad-Aware : Lavasoft is the only company which is giving Anti-spyware for free for a long time. Ad-Aware 2008 has some Plus and also minus. So let us see the Pros and Cons of the program

Pros :

• Protection against spyware, adware and keyloggers.
• Included rootkit removal system

Cons :

• No Real-Time protection (Your PC may be vulnerable to new threats).
• No automatic updates only manual updates and customizable scan features.
• No auto protection.

Download : Ad-Aware

2. Spybot Search&Destroy : This is one independent organization that has been protecting people from malicious spyware for many years. Unlike the free Ad-Aware this program offers a rich protection against spyware. Let's see the important features of this software.

Pros :

• Protection against spyware, adware, and other malware (except virus)
• Provides Real-Time protection
• Tracks for malicious changes in registries and processes and prevent malware.

Cons :

• No automatic protection updates only manual updates.
  

Download : S&D

3. Spyware Terminator : This is the only antispyware which provides all the features of a paid antispyware for free. Let's quickly see the features of this program.

Pros :

• Protection against Spyware and Virus (includes Clamwin Antivirus).
• Provides automatic updates.
• Provides Real Time protection

Cons :

• No drawbacks for this one. It's the full featured product.

Download : Spyware Terminator

4. Windows defender : This program is only for genuine Microsoft customers. Official review about this software says that it protects you against spyware and allows blocks it before it infiltrates into your computer. But practically proved that this software doesn't protect you to the fullest. The definition updates of it is a monthly basis one which leaves unprotected to a new threat for one month. So I strongly advise you to use Windows Defender in combination with other product like Ad-Aware...

Download : Windows Defender

5. Super Antispyware : This is product is considered as one of the best spyware remover. Super Antispyware provides lot of useful features in this product. But the paid version of this software is much more powerful one and is considered as one of the best. Let's see the features of free version of Super Antispyware :

Pros :

• Provides full protection from Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, Dialers, Worms, KeyLoggers, HiJackers and many other types of threats.

"Sorry! We're unable to complete your product registration at this time" - AOL.

There has been a lot of buzz when AOL stopped its Active shield and started providing Mcafee Security for free. Every forum and tech sites discussed a lot about this. But giving a $39.99 product free for everyone involves a lot of money, So what AOL thought is giving Mcafee Security to a member once a year.

Let's suppose a person downloads Mcafee VirusScan Plus from AOL by signing into his account. After a month he wants to try another security product, so he installs this AOL Mcafee and installs another product. Again after few days he wants to go back to Mcafee, So he goes to AOL security central and select a package. In the next page AOL wants you to sign-in. He enters his username and password then to his surprise AOL says the above BOLD letters, "Sorry! We're unable to complete your product registration at this time". It says "Sorry!.... at this time". So he tries the next day and again the same reply from AOL.

Actually AOL has to mention that it only allows its members to download Mcafee once a year. But AOL doesn't mention this but it says registration failed this time. The user may think that there is a problem this time and he'll try later. This actually misleads the members and AOL loses its reputation. May be this is the way AOL reduces it's expenditure or what so ever. So let's see how to fix this problem.

The only way to fix this is to create another AOL account and use that account to download Mcafee Security software. So every time you have to create a new AOL account to download Mcafee VirusScan Plus or Mcafee Internet Security successfully.

If you find this irritating then you can check this article by which you Mcafee VirusScan Plus free for one year. It's very simple and easy way to get genuine Mcafee VirusScan Plus free for one year.

Today's malware is a big challenge for security products in removing them. Even the most recent versions fail at removing some rogue virus, trojans, spyware etc. If an antivirus fails at removing them we have to take that task of removing that virus manually. So let's see how to remove a rogue malware which is not removed by antivirus.

Scan your computer with your updated antivirus.It detects some malware and gives you option of cleaning, quarantining and deleting.When click on remove threats then antivirus first tries to clean that file, if it fails then it tries to quarantine that file if this also fails it tries to delete that file. At this point the robustness of antivirus comes out. Even then the antivirus couldn't remove the file then the best antivirus gives you option to delete that file on reboot and the worst antivirus leaves that file as it is and says virus cannot be removed. Actually the antivirus cannot remove the threats because the virus or spyware that is detected is running as process on your computer. Many big virus will run automatically as a process at the start of the computer. If this is the case then follow these instructions to manually remove detected virus.

1. Almost every antivirus program gives you some useful information when a threat is detected, that is it gives the path of infected file. If you cannot find the path of infected file then click the details button of the infected file and there you can find the path of the infected file.
2. Now copy and paste the paths all infected and cannot be removed files to a text file and name it as "infected" or what ever you wish.
3. Now restart your computer and select safe mode. If you have trouble in logging into safe mode then see here to fix safe mode problems.
4. Now open the "infected" text file that we've saved earlier.
5. Now copy and paste it in windows explorer and hit enter.


6. Delete the infected files and they will be deleted without any problem.

In this way you can remove almost any type of rogue antivirus or spyware which are not removed by antivirus,
