Deep Freeze


Deep Freeze keeps the computer in Frozen State. This means If your system is infected by viruses, trojans, worms, adware, spyware and hackers, then all these bad things will be eliminated by just rebooting your computer. So after installing Deep Freeze, If your computer is affected by any virus, then you just Restart your computer. Then all viruses will be eliminated from your computer. At the time of installation Deep freeze software preserves all your computer applications, settings and every thing as an image. So if any virus attacks your computer then Deep Freeze restores your computer to this state by just rebooting your computer. Suppose already you have Deep Freeze software, now if you have downloaded or stored or installed new applications in your computer, then all these changes will be removed after rebooting your computer. We can do one thing to prevent this. At the time of installation we can specify which volumes(drives) to be freezed. If you freezed C drive only, then you can store files, downloaded items in other drives D,E,F etc. Now changes made in C drive will only be removed after rebooting the computer. But one risk here. Since other drives are not freezed by Deep Freeze, viruses may attack other drives. This software is a fully functional 60 day evaluation version. We can use it freely for 60 days.

This software functions like the famous Norton Ghost software. In Norton Ghost we can save changes made to our computer as an image after it's installation also. Here I have tested Deep Freeze Evaluation Version only. I think in full version they will give option to save all the changes made to our computer as an image after it's installation also. So with Deep Freeze image save option our saved files, downloaded files wo'nt be removed from the computer after rebooting it.

Installation
First make your system virus free by scanning with a powerful latest anti-virus software. Also scan with powerful anti-malware software like Prevx1. Now download the evaluation copy of Deep Freeze Standard edition. Double click it. Then it will display Volumes to Freeze. Select the Volumes to freeze as you wish then complete the installation. After completing installation, system will automatically restart(Deep Freeze will take image of the present condition of the system and stores it. Whenever we restart the system it will take the system to this condition only).

After restart the system it will ask Do you want to set the password? Click yes and enter your required password two times then click O.K. Now Your Software is ready and computer will be set in Freeze condition.

If any virus attacks, just restart your sytem. Then Deep freeze will restore the computer to the stored image condition. So your system will be free from virus.

Uninstallation
To uninstall the software, Deep Freeze must first be disabled and then uninstalled. You can disable Deep Freeze by doing like this.

Hold down the shift key, then double click the Deep Freeze icon on the system tray. Then it will ask the password. Enter the password set by you previously. Then click O.K. Now you will observe as shown in fig below.


In the fig by default Boot Frozen option is ticked. Deep Freeze is enabled by choosing this option. Third option Boot Thawed will be used to disable Deep Freeze. Now Select Boot Thawed and click OK. Now reboot the system. Now Deep freeze will be disabled. Now You can uninstall it. To uninstall Locate the installation file you used to install Deep Freeze to your machine. Now run that installation file. Then select the option to uninstall. The software should uninstall and reboot the machine. When the machine reboots, Deep Freeze should be uninstalled.

If your Floppy Drive light is glowing for every 2 to 3 seconds without a Floppy in it, then do like this


Today so many viruses, worms, trojans and potentially unwanted programs are attacking our PC. Almost all Antivirus software developing companies are offering their free Evaluation Versions or free Trial Versions. We can try those softwares for one month freely. All of them are working very good. We can use different combinations of antivirus softwares for removing viruses, worms, trojans and potentially unwanted programs. If you are using one antivirus software for protection and want to try another antivirus software then first you have to uninstall the first antivirus software from your PC. Then you can try the second one. In some cases you can try the second one by just inactivate the first antivirus software.

Recently My PC was infected by some Viruses. Without any floppy in my floppy drive, my floppy drive light is glowing for every 2 to 3 seconds. Also system performance becomes slow. The virus is trying to access the floppy drive for every 2 or 3 seconds. So the system becomes very slow. For removing this and other viruses I have used two antivirus softwares. First I used Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic(Free for home PC). But when Avira scanning the virus affected file then my system is freezing. So First I scanned my PC with BitDefender Antivirus Plus v10(Evaluation Version). It worked O.K and deleted some viruses. But still my floppy drive light is glowing for every 2 to 3 seconds and system performance is slow as before. Now I scanned my PC using Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic. This time Avira works very well. It won't freeze my system. I deleted all Virus affected files with Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic. Now My floppy drive light is not glowing unnesasserily. Also my system performance is very fast now. Also all my programs are working perfectly except the problem below.

As I deleted all virus affected files, now my drives C,D,E,F are not opening. When I double click any one of the drives then it is giving error message “Cannot find copy.exe” and the drives are not opening at all. But I can open any drive by right clicking it and then select open. Only I can not open drives by doubleclicking. Anyone can rectify this problem by doing like below.

Open My Computer. Select Folder Options from Tools menu, then click the View tab. Now tick Show hidden files and folders. In the same View tab window remove the tick mark at Hide protected Operating system files then a warning message will come. Just click Yes. Now click Apply then click OK. Now right click C drive then open it. You will observe Desktop.ini file. Just delete it. Similarly delete Desktop.ini file in D,E,F drives. Now restart the system. Now you can open any drive by doubleclicking it.

Also remember one more thing. With the help of this Antivirus softwares we are deleting virus affected files. So after deleting Virus affected files some programs may not work. For example Yahoo messenger may not work, Ms Word may not work etc. You have to reinstall them again. All this depends on attacked Viruses. Some times Add or Remove Programs(this is in control panel) may not work. Also Recent viruses are attacking game files,mostly game exe files. So after using the latest antivirus softwares you have to delete virus affected game exe files. For the game to work you have to reinstall the game or to copy the same game exe file from one of your friends system. Also do not use cracked game files. Cracked files may contain Viruses. Some times you have to reinstall the entire Operating System by formatting the harddisk. All this depends on Attacked Viruses and the extent of damage caused by them.

What is Phishing?


We can define Phishing as Web Forgery or a Spyware which steals your personal Identity data like your user accounts,passwords etc and financial account credentials like your credit card,bank accounts information etc. Phishing is generally carried out using e-mails,instant messages,phone calls.

Recently I got a email message from E-Bay with subject Power Seller like this:

Dear E-Bay Member,

Congratulations. Your recent selling activity entitles you to Silver Status in the E-bay Power Seller program. Your Membership comes with some great benefits and services.

The above is an example of Phishing email. E-Bay give Power Seller status to only the best trusted sellers only. It won't give Silver Status to every member. Also this mail has not addressed me personally. It has addressed all E-Bay Members. Also I kept the cursor on the link given by them and check it on the status bar. Both Website addresses are not same. One more important thing is I never sell anything in E-bay site.

So this is forged site of E-Bay. If you click their link then it will take you to the forged site of E-Bay. The forged site is same as the original E-Bay site. If you sign into your E-Bay account from their site then they will steal your username and password.

So becareful about this type of Emails linking to forged sites. Also remember that no site will ask about your account details or account verification.
