Vista is riddled with an extremely large amount of “security” measures that may, or may not, be helpful. Running Vista as an Administrator may help, but did you know there is an even higher Administrator? Well, there is! All you need to do to unlock it is the follow
In the days when I used to use Microsoft Outlook for my emails, I also liked that AVG integrates itself with Outlook and immediately scans each email coming in. Suddenly I was getting no more “exe” files of Heidi Klum on the be
AVG Anti-Virus - A lot of people, when looking for a virus checker, instantly gravitate to the paid Norton Anti-Virus and I don't understand why they do that when there is a free virus checker called AVG which is, in my opinion, the best virus checker available today. Grisoft, the company that makes AVG, offers a free version and a paid version but I think the free version does a good enough job on its own.
During the four years that I have been using AVG, I have never contracted a single virus as AVG stops them and quarantines them instantly the moment they try to enter the system. The program updates itself daily and you can schedule regular system checks as well. Or if you prefer, you can right-click on a file and scan it with AVG before opening the file (AVG integrates itself into the Windows security for Gamers|https://windowsmastery.com/ Explorer me
Since you will be accessing your SSH server remotely, if it is behind a firewall or router you will have to make sure that port 22 (the default SSH port) is properly forwarded to it. Most routers have the ability to forward ports to individual machines on the local network. You'll have to refer to the instructions for your router/firewall on how to do t
Most shredders use overwrite technology that conforms to DoD 5220-22M specifications (Military-Grade) or better. DoD 5220-22M is the standard set by the U.S. Department of Defense for permanent erasure of digital informat
7. Now, all you need to do is double-click on the loc.bat file and the folder should have an icon that looks like the control panel. If you click on the folder it should redirect you to the Control Panel and thus you have locked the fol
If you want to completely wipe out personal information, and keep yourself safe, you need to take certain measures, like installing “data shredding” software. In the conventional sense of the word, data “shredders” don't actually “shred” your info; instead, they are programs that are capable of rewriting your selected files multiple times with a random series of binary data, thus obliterating them beyond recognit
Windows Vista has a large amount of options when it comes to customization, as do nearly all Windows operating systems. Fortunately, Vista makes it even easier then you may believe to tweak your operating sys
It is also useful if you are surfing on a network where you may be concerned about others observing your traffic. Perhaps you are connecting from a hotel, a client site, or from work (you didn't learn that from me) and you do not want others monitoring your traf
Nearly every single file on your computer contains some type of personal information - either information about the user, information on setting e.g. time, date, etc. In any case, it may be good to remove some of this information before making it available to the public, such as uploading a video or image onl
3. Now, go back to C:Test and look for your file or folder, it's not there! You cannot find it through simply browsing around, through the command prompt, or even if you click “Show Hidden Files and Folde
While it is recommended that you select at least Level 2, I normally use Level 4. Even at this “slowest” level, it only takes a few seconds. Evidence Nuker is compatible with Windows 98, ME, 2000, and
The reason we set up the source port to 3390 is because the Remote Desktop Client will not allow you to connect to the default remote desktop port (3389) on the local machine. So that's why we used 3390 instead (we could have used any port, I just use 3390 because it's easy for me to rememb
. When the command prompt opens type “CD C:Test” (replace “Test” with the name of the folder you want to hide.) 2. Now type “attrib file +s +h” and replace “file” with the name of the actual file name you would like to h
Remote - As the name somewhat implies, this is the reverse of a local tunnel. You are probably less likely to use this, but it would allow machines on the SSH server network to access a machine and port on the network where your SSH client resides. I won't go through any examples on setting up a remote port in this arti
One of the most ridiculous features of Vista are the continuous “confirmation” messages. Messages that pop up nearly every time you attempt to run any unknown application. Almost all of which are completely unnecessary, and waste time. Here is how you can disable these annoying uac notifications, quickly and eas
