Virus Probs..Here are the some ways to solve…..

Happy Christmas to you!

To protect your computer from virus and other malwares, you need to have 3 things loaded on your computer.

1
Antivirus software
(Professional version, might cost you around at 1500 Rs, BUT we can get this, completely free, AVG, can be the best option, you can get this at

http://free.avg.com/

(Please download from the authentic site)

1. Download
2. Install
3. Register yourself as a free user on the same site

2
Firewall
Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808

Site :- http://filehippo.com/download_sygate_personal_firewall/

Sygate Personal Firewall delivers unobtrusive, highly configurable, enforceable rule-based security policy by constantly operating in the background of your PC. Policies regarding applications, trusted IP addresses, ports, protocols and scheduling can be customized to support and secure any network configurations or requirements. Designed with high performance in mind, it delivers top-notch security without sacrificing your computing power.

Whether you're working, banking, gaming or chatting, it protects your computer by actively looking for hostile intruders and Trojan horse applications. If an intrusion attempt occurs, it detects it in real-time and blocks it by default. You are immediately notified and, with your approval, your Internet connection is adjusted to prohibit further attacks. Likewise, if an unauthorized application on your system attempts to access the Internet, Sygate Personal Firewall blocks it by default, advises you of the situation and waits for your approval before proceeding further.

3. Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.1.41 Beta
This will help you to secure your saved passwords, credit card numbers and other secure information.

Site :- http://filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware.

But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer, too :)

OFF-LINE web experience

I would like to share important Software (with link) that really helps during our training/presentation sessions. We need to show some of websites during such discussion, eg, educationinindia.org, intel.com/education, or some others. It’s really good if we have internet with the good speed.

BUT what if we don’t have internet ATALL and we want to use this websites as we are using it often, with same internet experience. For this OFF-LINE web experience, we need to Create A MIRROR image of this website with help of this software name:- HTTRACKER
HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility.
It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory(on computer’s Hard Disk), building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.

WinHTTrack is the Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP release of HTTrack, and WebHTTrack the Linux/Unix/BSD release.
