How to Block & Unblock usb Ports

How to Block & Unblock usb Ports

In this post I will show how to disables/blocks the USB ports on the computer (PC). Once this is done it will immediately disable all the USB ports on the computer. As a result the you?ll will not be able to use your pen drive or any other USB peripheral on the computer.You can test this on your own computer without any worries since I have also given a trick to re-enable/unblock all the USB ports.


FIRST OF ALL

GO TO --> START --> RUN

NOW TYPE REGEDIT


NOW LOOK FOR THE KEY :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE’SYSTEM’CurrentControlSet’Servic es’USBSTOR



NOW FIND THE KEY THERE CALLED :-
"Start"
DOUBLE CLICK ON IT.
NOW CHANGE THE VALUE DATA 3 --> 4

WHERE ITS BASE IS HEXADECIMAL
HERE YOU GO

YOU HAVE DONE IT
NOW CLOSE THE REGISTRY AND YOU’LL SEE THE RESULT.
YOUR PC’S ALL USB PORTS ARE DISABLED


TO RE-ENABLE/UNBLOCK USB PORTS JUST CHANGE THE VALUE DATA AGAIN 4 --> 3
NOW YOUR PC’S ALL USB PORTS ARE RE-ENABLED.

Maintaining your Machine, What makes your machine slow?

Maintaining your Machine, What makes your machine slow?

I’ve heard a lot of comments from the malware staffs that there are a lot of people thinking that a slow computer is caused by malware. However, a slow PC might have several causes other than malware. In this thread I will be giving you a step by step guide on how to speed up your PC. The main thing that slows your PC down, if it’s not malware, is clogged up Temp files.

Here’s a list of common causes of slow machines:

• Low amount of memory (RAM)


• Multiple protection systems installed


• Many programs on startup


• Full temp folders


• Fragmented hard drive


• Forgotten programs


• Multiple of the above

1. Low amounts of memory (RAM)
I have had a lot of people in my neighbourhood asking me why their PC was slow. One of the highest causes was the low amount of memory in their PCs. A lot of old PCs still have 256 MB RAM in their machine while Windows XP already has a recommended of 512 MB and Vista is even more demanding with a stunning 1024 MB (1GB). Having a low amount of memory can cause the PC to take ages in performing what we would think to be simple tasks. While this is usually true, the PC doesn’t only have to run the simple task, but at the same time keep services up, your Protection software running and possibly more programs that are running in the background. Therefore it is a good idea to have at least the recommended amount of memory in your machine for the operating system that you are running. If you are going to be running a lot of programs at once, consider taking at least 512 MB above recommendation to keep everything running smoothly.

2. Multiple protection systems installed
As I’m not trained in Malware Removal and do not know a lot about how Protection Systems work I shall quote from a blog post by Miekiemoes found here. (Also worth reading!!)

QUOTE
This is a common mistake many users make. They think that having more than one Antivirus and Firewall installed will protect them in a better way. It won’t.. On the contrary..
Rather than giving you extra protection, it will seriously decrease reliability and effectiveness ! The reason for this is that if both products have their automatic (Real-Time) protection switched on, your system may lock up due to both software products attempting to access the same file at the same time. Also, if more than one Antivirus and Firewall installed are not compatible with eachother, it can cause system performance problems and a serious system slowdown. It happens quite a lot that a system won’t even boot properly because of more than one Antivirus and Firewall installed.
When having general computer problems and you have more than one AV/Firewall installed, this can be the main cause of your problems.

Concerning Antispywarescanners, it’s ok for you to install more than one.However, it’s not advised that you let them all start up with Windows, running as a Real Time scanner. Only keep one running in the background and disable the rest, because AntispywareScanners are also resource hogs. They are actually all doing the same, so it’s really not needed to have more of them running in the background. After all, you do not use more than one different vacuum cleaner either to clean your carpet with.
Just let the Antispyware scanner(s) scan once in a while on demand.


3. Many programs on start-up
Having many programs in the startup will slow your computer down. Taking out programs that aren’t necessary on startup will reduce the resource requirements on boot and will generally make the PC run faster. To remove programs from your startup list, follow the instructions below.

XP Users:

• Open Start Menu and select "Run..."


• In the run box type: msconfig and press enter.


• A window will appear, go to the Startup tab.


• In the startup tab, disable tick boxes on all the programs that don’t necessarily need to be started at boot.

Vista Users:

• Open Start Menu and in the white box type: msconfig


• Click msconfig.exe that appeared in the list and confirm the UAC.


• A window will appear, go to the Startup tab.


• In the startup tab, disable tick boxes on all the programs that don’t necessarily need to be started at boot.

4. Cleaning the Temporary Folders.
As a lot of you might know, the more Windows has to load the slower a PC will be.
The temp folders can fill up quite quickly and having a temp folder of 2 Gigabyte won’t do windows any good.
The steps below are easy steps using a simple program to clean out your temp folders.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  Under Main choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser

• Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.
  NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

• Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
  Click the Empty Selected button.
  NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

5. Defragging your Hard Drive.
While temp folders are one way to clog the speed of your system, fragmented files are another. The more fragmented your files are the slower the hard drive will be to run programs smoothly. A defrag is recommended to keep your hard drive clean and fast. It is recommended that you do not run any programs whatsoever when you are defragging your hard drive as running applications will make them unable to be moved.

Please download JkDefrag by Jeroen Kessels

• Unzip the program to a folder.


• Reboot to release most of the files in use.


• Double Click JkDefrag.exe to run the program.

Note: Everything is done automatically the moment you run JkDefrag.exe

6. Keeping it clean!
Something that is highly underestimated is the simpleness of ’Keeping it clean!’. Installing a lot of programs will eventually use up your resources that you could use to keep your PC fast.Removing old programs that you never used, or those ’one-day-fly’ programs that you try out but don’t meet your criteria, will free up space and memory to be used elsewhere. Whenever you are done with a program, remove it from your system so the resources free up. Below are some steps to get rid of some unused programs.

• Open Start and select Control Panel


• Open Add/Remove Programs(XP) or Programs and Features(Vista)


• Go through the list carefully and see if there are any useless programs that you can remove.


• Remove all the programs that you don’t need any more.

7. Little tweaks for speed.
There are a few tricks that you can use to speed up your computer if need be. Below I will make a list of tweaks for either XP or Vista (watch the title) that will help you speed up your PC. Some tweaks are for both XP and Vista, others are for a specific OS.

Disabling Indexing Service (XP)
Quoting from the Windows Help and Support:
QUOTE
By default, all of the most common files on your computer are indexed. Indexed locations include all of the files in your personal folder (such as Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos), as well as e‑mail and offline files. Files that are not indexed include program files and system files. The locations that contain those files are not indexed because you rarely need to search those files, and so not including them in the index makes your searches perform faster.

Like many other people, I know where my files are located, so I never use the indexing service. Therefore, I turn it off.
The indexing service is a service that scans your personal files and folders and stores which files are there in an index (hence the name).
Then if you perform a search, the search will then first go through the index to see if it is there. This will speed up searches drastically.
Though if you never use the search function, you’re better off turning it off. Below is how.

• Open Start and select "Run..."


• In the run box type services.msc and press enter


• Scroll-down to Indexing Service and double-click it.


• If the service status is "Running", then stop it by pressing theStop button.


• To make sure this service doesn’t run again, under Startup Type:, choose Disabled

Disabling Indexing Service (Vista)
Not much different from the XP Indexing service. Here is how to disable it.

• Open Start Menu and type: services


• Click the Services program that popped up in the list and confirm the UAC.


• Scroll down to Windows Search and double click it.


• If the service status is "Running", then stop it by pressing theStop button.


• To make sure this service doesn’t run again, under Startup Type:, choose Disabled

Automatically close non-responsive programs,

Automatically close non-responsive programs,

With a small registry tweak, Windows XP can be set to automatically
close any program that ’stops responding’ (crashes), eliminating the
need for you to use the task manager to close down the offending
software manually.

To do this:

Open REGEDIT and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER’Control Panel’ Desktop

Modify the REG_SZ entry AutoEndTasks with a value of 1 .



THOSE WHO DONT KNOW ABOUT THE REGISTRY EDIT TRY IT ON UR OWN RISK
TESTED: BUT NOT BY ME
SO TRY IT AND FIND IT URSELF

How to enable Right-Click on Sites that have Disabled it

How to enable Right-Click on Sites that have Disabled it

Lots of web sites have disabled the right click function of the mouse button... it’s really, really annoying. This is done so that you don’t steal (via right-click > save picture) their photos or images or any other goodies. Unfortunately, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window. This is what you need to do to allow you to be able to right click on these sites.

Internet Explorer
It’s easy to change, assuming your using IE 6:
1. Click "Tools" > "Internet Options"
2. Click the "Security" tab
3. Click "Custom Level"
4. Scroll down to the "Scripting" section
5. Set "Active Scripting" to "disable"
6. Click "Ok" a couple of times.

You’ll probably want to turn this back to "enable" when your done... because generally the javascript enhances a website.


Mozilla Firefox
1. Go to Tools tools > Options and select Web Options from the left panel.
2. You would see that Enable Javascript is checked by default. Uncheck it and click OK.
3. Right Clicking should now be enabled on websites that do not allow it.
4. If this does not work, you could disable java altogether from the check box in the same window.

Opera
1. Go to > Tools > Preferences and select the "Advanced" Tab.
2. From the left panel, select "Content"
3. You would see that Enable Javascript is checked by default. Uncheck it and click OK.
4. Right Clicking should now be enabled on websites that do not allow it.
5. If this does not work, you could disable java altogether.

(I’m IT, I use these codes to trouble shoot hardware issues at my job. Enjoy) cold.gif
BIOS Beep Codes
When a computer is first turned on, or rebooted, its BIOS performs a power-on self test (POST) to test the system’s hardware, checking to make sure that all of the system’s hardware components are working properly. Under normal circumstances, the POST will display an error message; however, if the BIOS detects an error before it can access the video card, or if there is a problem with the video card, it will produce a series of beeps, and the pattern of the beeps indicates what kind of problem the BIOS has detected.
Because there are many brands of BIOS, there are no standard beep codes for every BIOS.
The two most-used brands are AMI (American Megatrends International) and Phoenix.
Below are listed the beep codes for AMI systems, and here are the beep codes for Phoenix systems.

AMI Beep Codes
Beep Code Meaning
1 beep DRAM refresh failure. There is a problem in the system memory or the motherboard.
2 beeps Memory parity error. The parity circuit is not working properly.
3 beeps Base 64K RAM failure. There is a problem with the first 64K of system memory.
4 beeps System timer not operational. There is problem with the timer(s) that control functions on the motherboard.
5 beeps Processor failure. The system CPU has failed.
6 beeps Gate A20/keyboard controller failure. The keyboard IC controller has failed, preventing gate A20 from switching the processor to protect mode.
7 beeps Virtual mode exception error.
8 beeps Video memory error. The BIOS cannot write to the frame buffer memory on the video card.
9 beeps ROM checksum error. The BIOS ROM chip on the motherboard is likely faulty.
10 beeps CMOS checksum error. Something on the motherboard is causing an error when trying to interact with the CMOS.
11 beeps Bad cache memory. An error in the level 2 cache memory.
1 long beep, 2 short Failure in the video system.
1 long beep, 3 short A failure has been detected in memory above 64K.
1 long beep, 8 short Display test failure.
Continuous beeping A problem with the memory or video.

BIOS Beep Codes

Phoenix Beep Codes
Phoenix uses sequences of beeps to indicate problems. The "-" between each number below indicates a pause between each beep sequence. For example, 1-2-3 indicates one beep, followed by a pause and two beeps, followed by a pause and three beeps. Phoenix version before 4.x use 3-beep codes, while Phoenix versions starting with 4.x use 4-beep codes. Click here for AMI BIOS beep codes.

Basic BIOS password crack - works 9.9 times out of ten
This is a password hack but it clears the BIOS such that the next time you start the PC, the CMOS does not ask for any password. Now if you are able to bring the DOS prompt up, then you will be able to change the BIOS setting to the default. To clear the CMOS do the following:
Get DOS prompt and type:
DEBUG hit enter
-o 70 2e hit enter
-o 71 ff hit enter
-q hit enter
exit hit enter
Restart the computer. It works on most versions of the AWARD BIOS.
*Another Trick 2 Clear COMOS + BIOS is Open Ur PC Cabinet And Open The Battery For 5Min And Then Insert It Open Ur Computer And Ur Password Will Be Reset

How to tell if you need more RAM...

How to tell if you need more RAM...

Here’s how:

Press the Ctrl? + Alt + Delete key. Now click on Task Manager and select the Performance tab. Look just under midway down on the right and you will see a box labeled ?Physical Memory (K). Read the Total right under that. That is your installed memory (in kilobytes). If you want to convert it to MB, divide it by 1024. Now look at the box to it;s left that says Commit Charge (K). The total there will be how much memory is being used. You will also see a Peak under that total which tells the highest amount of memory used since the last reboot. If the Peak is lower than the Physical Memory total, then you don?t need additional memory. If the total Commit Charge is higher than the Physical Memory Total, then additional memory would give you a significant performance boost because of how much of the memory your system is using with the Operating System and applications.

How to Fix a Computer That Keeps Restarting

How to Fix a Computer That Keeps Restarting




Quote:

Have you ever had a computer that restarted over and over again? Did you think that it was a virus? Well, in many cases in may or it may not be. First off, there are many factors of your computer restarting. If it was a virus, your computer would tell you that there is no operating system found. Or, you get the Blue Screen of death. IN the following steps, I will show you how to prevent from your computer restarting from the logo page.

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Quote:

Paper Towel Anti Virus Protection Q-tips

Step 1

Quote:

Honestly, by this point you do not need a Virus protection as you can not enter the windows operating system. I have repaired many computers with this situation and trust me, it is quite simple.

Step 2

Quote:

Check the Fans

Quote:

When you turn on your computer, make sure that the fan in running in the very beginning. If it is a virus that attacked your computer, your fan will continue running without anything on the screen. Your fan is located in the back of the computer. That is where the power supply is at.

Step 3

Quote:

If your fan is still running, you must reinstall your windows operating system. Please note, do not do this until you read my next article, "How to save your files from an unworking PC".

Step 4

Quote:

Unplug PC

Quote:

If your fan is not running, then this is good news for now. You must turn off all the power from your computer. I recommend you unplug the power cord behind the PC. You are going to have to open your PC

Step 5

Quote:

Dust on CPU FAN.

Quote:

The other reason your computer might be turning off is because the computer is over heating. The CPU is not getting a lot of air flow, when you turn on the computer, and when it goes into the operating system, the PC temperature goes up high, that’s why computers need fans. But what is causing the PC to over heat? Well, its DUST!!!

Step 6

Quote:

another cpu fan with dust

Quote:

Its time for a PC clean up. Get your paper towel and q-tips. Have your magnetic strip handy, or if you don’t have a magnetic strip, touch the power supply to ground your self from any electro magnetic shock.

Step 7

Quote:

Clean CPU Fan

Quote:

Get your q-tips and clean the Dust off your CPU fan. The air is not going through to the CPU, that’s why the computer shuts it self down, so that the computer would not catch on fire. Clean every hole on the computer case, make sure its clear for air to enter. Your CPU fan should look like the picture.

Step 8

Quote:

Clean all dust off of the computer case. Once you are done, close the computer and plug everything back in. Start your PC is it should load up.

Step 9

If non of this worked, you must open the computer case again and make sure all the Divers are plug in securely. Many times a technician installs a new drive or RAM into your system and it wasn’t properly installed. Your computer will not start. Make sure the RAMs are nicely secured in the PCI slot. Make sure the 2 white side handles are inserted correctly on the ram as shown on the picture. Close your case and start your computer. That should work.

Step 10

MotherboardIf that did not work, it may be your RAM or Motherboard. You must go buy a new motherboard or Ram. I suggest you take it to a technician to install the motherboard, but if you know how to install a new one, good for your. Remember to back up your data. Very Important.

Use Trial Software Forever :D

Use Trial Software Forever :D

Now we download stuff almost daily. New products pop out so often. You can use any software forever you want. You can download trial version, right. Trial version expires after some days. You can stop that expiration. You can tell trial version of the software to not count days or do not bother about time. The software will stay and keep working like original software forever and will not expire or cease to work. You do not have to change your system clock. This little software does it all.



Time Stopper is the software which can stop the time for try out version software. When you stop the time you can use your try-out versions forever. When you stop the time of a try-out version using this Time Stopper it works via this Time Stopper. Real time and date run normally on your system. You can use any number of try-out version softwares with this software.

How it Works


1. Open Time Stopper
2. Browse and select .exe of required trial software
3. Choose the new date (Any date which occurs in between your trial software time period before expiration, suggestion: set it to two days before trial software expiration date.)
4. Choose any time
5. Click open software on your selected date

If you wish to create an icon for your modified trial software and do not want to open Time stopper every time then use last button in software to create new icon. open that trial software after that from that newly created icon always otherwise it can expire.

Make your pendrive "virusproof"

Make your pendrive "virusproof"

Note: I dont have a english OS, so I did free translation.
I will post images, although it is hard to understand because of the language you should see how I did all the steps located.
I havent tried with a usb HDD because i dont have where to put all my data to format it, but if anyone wants to try, give some feedback

1st step:Format your pen drive as FAT32 (right click on your pen icon and click format)



2nd step: Now we are going to convert the pen drive to NTFS, open cmd.exe and type "convert e: /fs:ntfs" (without quotes), where "e:" is the pen drive letter attributed by windows

p.s: not "it" its "hit"

3rd step: Open mycomputer, then folder options and untick "use sharing assistant"






4th step: Make a new folder in your pen drive, and from now you will put your files in that folder




5th step: Now right click in your pendrive icon, click properties and go to the security tab
6th step: In permissions for all users only leave ticked the "read and execute", "list folder contents", and "read"




7th step: Repeat step 6 but instead of setting the security parameters to the pendrive do it only for the folder that you created inside it.(Now edit permissions again to all users but now give total control)



By doing this your flash drive will not allow to be written or executed and files at its root, where they host the malicious files on your pendrive, the folder that you created will have total control and without the existence of virus.
