Threat Fire 4, new firewall

Zone alarm has been dominating in the field of firewalls and nowadays it has started making it's mark even as antivirus. What makes zone alarm so dominating is that it's tight security against any kinda spywares and viruses. It does not allow any sort of malicious scripts also to run in your pc. But the main drawback of it is that when loaded in your computer it takes up huge chunk of the memory ( RAM) making computer very slow, and even making the computer miserable of those who have very less and limited memory.
Today i have come across such a light weight software whose work is as good as Zone Alarm. It is the Firewall from PC TOOL called " Threat Fire".

ThreatFire is dramatically different to traditional antivirus software. Normal antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat before they can provide adequate protection against it.
 This creates a large window of time where threats are undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus software installed.
 ThreatFire continually protects your PC against attacks by detecting malicious behavior, such as capturing your keystrokes or stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats like normal antivirus software. By implementing sophisticated real-time behavioral analysis ThreatFire is able to stop never- before-seen “zero-day” threats solely by detecting their malicious activity. ThreatFire’s patent-pending ActiveDefense technology offers protection against all types of internet threats - both known and unknown - spyware, adware, keyloggers, viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware. ThreatFire uses its unparalleled protection to hunt down and paralyze those threats that are either too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional “signature-based” antivirus software.
Regarding to memory usuage , ThreatFire only uses two process (TFService.exe and TFtray.exe) and both process takes up less than 8MB of system memory.

ThreatFire 4 is completely FREE for personal home use. Business users must purchase ThreatFire Pro license.

Search and download free mp3

Have u ever wondered how to download Mp3s. If u have ever tried, i guess at first you were not able to find what you were looking for. Still may be some of you guys might got virus while searching and downloading the songs.
Well today in this post i will tell you how to and where to search for the mp3s.
For downloading Virus free mp3 go to:
G2P.Org

This site looks like this:


type the name of the song or the bands name in the search box and and on the right side you see the options, so select "Songs" then click "Go".

Say you searched for Green day, the results comes like shown below:


In the search results, you can see lots of sites, most probably always you will get these sites:
vmp3.eu/mp3
www.franceradio.net/mp3/Green%20Day-816/
www.listen77.com/mp3/green-day/
hyooge.com/mp3/green%20day
www.mp3lot.com/
www.mp3raid.com

Never go for these sites. Never open the links which says or has web name as radio, listen and somethings like that. They will either ask you for money, or you get to download just a single song.

You will find your songs if you visit the sites which seems awkward when seeing them, such as
www.morgus.cz/paja/panorama/pisnicky/
side7.homeunix.net/s/mp3/g/godzilla/
and so on.
So if you reach the site whose results are like shown below then you are in the right place. You just click the song link and you will get the default browser download option.



If you search for your songs or band properly, the best thing about this site is that you might get the whole albums ( all albums) at once to download.


Enjoy Downloading!!!

Free Voip to USA, UK, China, N many more

Talk to people from your computer to their Landlines and mobiles!!!!!!

While searching for Free Voips, i came across this wonderful site and the software called Tuitalk.
Well its a site which offers you to call LANDLINES and MOBILE to any one who lives in USA, UK, China, Netherlands and many other places. For this year 08, this site is offering 10 min of free call to any of the available countries.
I have used this software and it is awesome. But the drawback of this great offer is that before you make a call you have to watch a small ad of their sponsors. It is the ad that is paying for our free 10 min call. The best part of it is that you can call free 10 min everyday.
Well hurry this offer is limited to the end of this NOVEMBER only.

SO go make the calls.

No Run, No Task Manager, No Registry, No Cmd , No Msconfig

If u are a regular internet and computer user... i bet u have encountered such a situation where you have no access to registry, run, task manager, command prompt and even no Folder option.
I guess you might have tried scanning the computer for viruses, and may b you got it also.... have u resolved the virus'es side effect? IF still those features of windows are not accessible then probably you still have virus in ur PC. SO what to do? FOrmat is the answer most of the people gets.

But for me format due to virus is a last option for me. If i have such a problem i would rather use the following tools in safe mode before formatting. If no avail, then still ill try to find other way round.
Well first let me tell you which virus causes the above mentioned problem, they are:

isetup.exe
kinza.exe
scvvhsot.exe
ssvichosst.exe

so if you ever find these files in any drive delete it immediately.

SO the solution of the above virus is below. I would not say it will definitely clean it 100%, but till now the result is from 85% to 95% success.
So download these files and run them in Safe mode ( press F8 before loading the windows)

File 1
File 2
File 3
File 4
File 5
Then For Folder Option
File 6
( select restore option )

Remember this all has to be done in safe mode.
If problem exists let me know!!

No windows Folder option menu in Tools

If you had a virus in your computer,and removed by your antivirus.... but still there is no folder option menu, then probably it must me the side effect that the virus had left in your computer.
In order to fix this after-effect here are the procedures:


You should open the registry, but remember to back it up. You can make a restore point in system restore, or just open the registry and export the whole thing, or export some selected keys.

find this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced. Go to the rightside of the window, where the values are. Find the value "Hidden" . Rightclick it and modify it to 1.

now download file below and double click it. click Yes



If this does procedure didn't help you to get your folder option back, then probably for sure you still have virus in your computer.

How to protect ur computer from getting infected by a virus

Now a days virus has become a common to us and more and more vunerable.
So as my first post, i will let you know how to be safe from getting infected from virus through pen drives, floppy n other removable devices.

Steps:
1.  First disable the autoplay option:
             a> go to start, then click run
             b> type " gpedit.msc" in the run dialog box and press enter.
             c> now, on the left tree menu, expand the user settings, then expand Administrative             Templates then and click " System".
             d> now on the right side you will see lots of policy and permissions.. down below there is a                         policy saying " Turn off Auto Play".. double click it.
             e>  Default is " not configured" , you select enabled. In the drop down menu Turn off on:                       you select " All drives" then click apply and ok.
2. Open my computer or any folder then go to Folder Options . 
    a> go to view tab
    b> below select show hidden files and folders and unmark ( uncheck) the Hide protected operating system files.
3. Click Apply then Ok.

From Now on you always open your pen drive , dvd drive or other removable drives by right clicking and selecting explore option.
 If your device have some unusual files with unknown extensions, it is most probably a virus. You delete it immediately. Whenever you find the unknown files in your devices, delete it.

Like this you can prevent your computer from getting infected from the virus.
