Security on the internet

This post is literally for novice users i.e. for those who have begun using computers recently. Yesterday, I visited a friend of mine and he was playing some game on the internet. Within a few minutes of our meeting, he exclaimed "Yaar, mein roz koi na koi tablet ya lottery jeet jata hoon net par khelte hue, lekin click karne par kuchh hota hi nahin" (aise bhi log hote hein). Imagine how I felt at that.
Being shocked and astonished I told him never ever to click on such links as they are fraud and can have viruses and display the same message to everyone.

Please do not click ob these links my friends. PLEASE.

What to do about Spams and spoofed mails

Many, or almost 75%, of the email users don't know what to fo if a spam or a spoofed mail arrives on your ID. Here is what to so. Always report "phishing" or “spoofed” e-mails to the following groups:

1. Forward the email to reportphishing@antiphishing.org .

2. Forward the email to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov.

3. Forward the email to the "abuse" email address at the company that is being spoofed (e.g. "spoof@ebay.com").

4. When forwarding spoofed messages, always include the entire original email with its original header information intact.

5. Notify The Internet Crime Complaint Center of the FBI by filing a complaint on their website: www.ic3.gov.

Deep Web: Go Dark and find what's hidden

Deep web, as interesting as it sounds, it contains everything that is hidden from the users, like assassin websites, FBI secret sites etc. While its interesting its pretty dangerous, it can contain viruses and can also hack your webcam. It contains 91000 terabytes, by comparison to the surface web sizes only about 167 terabytes. Do all these preparations beforehand.

  • First, I recommend to turn of javascript and cookies on your browser, enabling this would be very dangerous. Also, you might want to disconnect your webcam, just to make sure its not gonna be hijacked.
  • Don’t go around clicking every links you could see, always proceed carefully.
  • Some understandings of HTML/Javascript/PHP or any knowledge about internet and how it works somehow needed to ensure you are accessing a safe website.
  • If anything happens, DON’T PANIC. Disconnect your internet, clear your session and history, pretend nothing happened.
Now, get Tor bundle on http://torproject.org, you could choose to download the whole browser and Tor bundle, or you could download Tor and Vidalia bundle. Unzip the bundle, start it, and if you download the Vidalia bundle you have to configure your browser’s proxy to localhost port 8118. And that’s it! You are connected to Tor network, to start exploring deep web, start with going to .onion entry point (eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion), the TorDir (dppmfxaacucguzpc.onion) or The Hidden Wiki (kpvz7ki2v5agwt35.onion). And that’s it, have fun and stay safe.

You can search Wikipedia for more info.

Task Manager shortcut in Windows7

Usually whenever you have to open the task manager in Windows7 you press Ctrl+Alt+Del and another window opens and you have to select from it.

But what if there is a shortcut that directly opens the task manager. I discovered it while I was preparing for the scholar's cup tournament with my teammates +Piyush Kukrety  and +Parva Khare .

Just press Ctrl+Shift+Esc and you are done, the task manager will open up instantly.

3. Press Enter and its Icon will change to the control panel icon.

PCSX2 Configurations

Well, I downloaded an emulator for PS2 games and got certain lags in sound, video and speed. FPS was as low as 10 and it left me frustrated. So I left out for searching the internet and found that no site could give perfect information on how to correct these faults. But now I have figured it out.

Every PC has a different setting for the best performance but I will tell you the best settings possible with a good PC.

If your video is shaky then you can do as follows:
Click on Config> Video(GS)> Plugin Settings.
Change the renderer to Direct 3D 10(Hardware)
Interlacing to none
And this should fix it

If your audio is not good enough then:
Click on Config> Audio(SPU2)> Plugin settings
Reduce Latency to 50ms

If the speed is not good then:
Click on Config> Emulation settings> Speedhacks
Enable speedhacks
Increase EEcyclerate to 3
Increase VU Cycle Stealing to 3
Chck all the other options in the otherhacks and microVU hacks column
And click on Apply

This should fix most of the errors for almost all the games

Recover from a virus attack

Sometimes even after a virus is totally removed from the computer with the help of an antivirus and the system is thoroughly cleaned, some users find it difficult to restore system settings and revert the damage caused by the virus. This is when our tool, Re-Enable comes in handy. Usually a virus locks your access to the registry editor and the task manager. So to fix it for lazy people like me, this tool can do wonders.

1. Download Re-Enable and execute it.
2. It can be used to enable registry editor, command prompt, task manager, etc. Just select the tools you want to enable and click on "Re-Enable".

Note: You will require .net framework 3.5 or higher to run this software.

Virus Removal: new folder.exe

Again a very frustrating virus. Spreads from copying itself to the USB drives and makes multiple new folders without any data in them. You can't delete it as it will reappear again and again. It sometimes makes the folders disappear on the pen drive which can then be only accessed by searching on the pen drive. Now you may think that it can be deleted with the help of deleting the autorun.inf files as I have indicated in my previous blog but as you can't access the registry or any of the folders i.e. you can't just delete it.

So you can do this easily with the help of another tool known as Smart Virus Removal Tool. Download and run it and then click on "Delete autorun.inf file" > "Remove virus from USB" > "Restore Default Windows Settings"

The virus will be removed from the pen drive and all the registry settings and the folders will be accessible again.
