Prevent computer from being hacked

iFFa — Fri, 27 May 2011 23:59:43 +0000

Some steps to prevent your system from the Hackers

1. Make backups of your files and folders and store them in a separate place than your computer.

2. Install firewall. This will prevent worms, Trojan viruses and spy ware from infecting your system. Some applications require that you disable your firewall, so use good judgment.

3. Review your browser and email setting for security. Make sure to constantly erase your “cookies” folder. Cookies pose almost no threat for damaging computers however; they do track your daily actions online. Set your “internet zone” for high and your “trusted sites” for medium low security.

4. Watch out for Active-X and JavaScript files as hackers can plant viruses and other harmful elements in your programs.

5. Install some kind of anti virus software and make sure to set it for automatic updates. New viruses are found everyday, so make sure you update regularly.

6. Don’t open unknown email attachments, many of these contain viruses and allow hackers to get into your system.

7. Only run and download programs from places you trust. Never send these files to friends and co-workers due to the high virus risks.

8. Turn off your computer and disconnect from the internet. Hackers can’t get into your system if your computer is off.

PC won’t detect USB drive?

iFFa — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:56:28 +0000

Yesterday, i helped my friend to format her laptop. After all the process completed, i plug my pendrive into her laptop to install some basic software. During that time, her laptop could detect my pendrive as well. Then i installed all the drivers need for the system. After restart her laptop, i found out that the system won’t detect my pendrive. I wondered why but i realized that happened after i installed all the drivers. After did some searching from google, finally i found out a solution. Hehe if this problem happen to you, just follow these steps:

1. Go to my computer.
2. Right click and choose “manage”
3. Under “Computer Management Local”, click at “system tools” and then choose “device manager”
4. At the right side, look at “Universal Serial Bus Controllers”
5. You’ll find “USB root hub” with yellow question mark icon.
6. Right click at there and choose “uninstall”
7. After that restart your computer.
For the next time you plug in USB drive, Windows will automatically install it for you.

p/s: this solution i used only for Windows XP. For other type of Windows, i’m not sure whether it succesful or not..

Changing ANY user password in Windows XP

iFFa — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 01:23:12 +0000

This tweak gives a user the opportunity to use it for good or bad. It enables the user to re-password any account without having to know the existing password and also shows you every account that exists on the machine (even the ones that are hidden). This is a good tool to use if you forgot a password to say your administrator account and you needed to be logged into the admin account for any reason.

To view all of the user accounts:

1) While logged onto the computer, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD.

2)From the command prompt window, type in net users. This will show you
every account that is made onto the computer whether it is hidden or
not.

—————————————————————–

To change an account password:

1) While logged onto the computer to an account that has administrative rights, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD.

2) Type in net user then the name of the account then * and press enter. heres an example: net user administrator * or net user “Joe Smith” * .Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces.

3) From there it should ask for a new password. Type in your new password (type very carefully – the command window won’t display what you type) and once more to confirm it. If you get the message that the command succeeded successfully you’re all set!!
