0 Symptoms of Virus Infection-by Smith

Author: Smith Solace

Normally every student ask me that what is the symptom of the virus so here i give it.



In the last article, I tried to give you a brief classification of viruses according to their nature. Now we shall look into indications which may indicate viral infection. After that I have tried to give some tips for safe computing. While reading this article you may sound the tips too childish but nevertheless they can be critical. So don't overlook them and read on.

10 virus symptoms

Programs take longer to load. Memory-intensive operations take a lot of time to start.

A change in dates against the filenames in the directory. When the virus modifies a file the operating system changes the date stamp.

The floppy disk or hard disk is suddenly accessed without logical reason.

Increased use of disk space and growth in file size-the virus attaches itself to many files.

Abnormal write-protect errors. The virus trying to write to a protected disk.

Strange characters appear in the directory listing of filenames.

Strange messages like "Type Happy Birthday Joshi" (Joshi Virus) or "Driver Memory Error" (kak.worm) appear on the screen and in documents.

Strange graphic displays such as falling letters or a bouncing ball appear on screen.

Programs may hang the computer or not work at all.

Junk characters overwrite text in document or data files.

Your guide to safe computing

Listed below are some of the steps recommended by experts to safeguard your PC from viruses. These are a compilation of my past experiences and magazine sources.

Write-protect your floppy disks when using them on other computers.

Remove floppy disks from drives while booting.

Change a setting in the BIOS that enables your PC to boot from the C-drive first.

Use a good anti-virus program to scan floppy disks before copying files. Recommended ones are Norton Antivirus 2000 and Mcaffee 5.

Install software only from original write-protected disks with the publisher’s label.

Do not install pirated software, especially computer games.

Activate watch-guard programs (monitors) that look out for suspicious activity.

Use the update service offered by software vendors and update the anti-virus software every month.

Scan the entire hard disk twice a month.

Scan files downloaded from the Internet or those transferred through a network.

Prepare a rescue disk with critical system files. Preferably, it should be bootable.

Keep the original CD-ROM or diskettes containing the operating system handy.

In the next article, I will try to cover some of the most happening viruses in today's cyber world. This may caution you up a little.

0 Create your own shortcuts for shutdown and rebooting:

Author: Smith Solace


First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:

shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"

Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.

I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use:

shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!"
shutdown -r -t 03 -c "Ill be back m8 ;)!"

Switch
What it does

-s
Shuts down the PC.

-l
Logs off the current user.

-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.

-c "messagetext"
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.

-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.

-r
Reboots the PC.

Remote Password Screen of the computer












Hello friends in this post i am going to tell you one of the most important concept of networking that is Remote Login.Here in this post i will tell you what the Remote Login is,how it works and many other things related to it.

In simple words Remote Login means to access other computers on the network or on the other network by the use of telnet or rlogin command.In other words we can also say that Remote Login means to access native computer from the other computer on the network when you are connected to the internet.Generally there are two protocols that are used for Remote Login:
1.RLOGIN Protocol Overview
2.TELNET Protocol Overview

For using the TELNET command for remote login the syntax is:

-->telnet hostname

After connecting with the remote host, you will be prompted for your login id and your password just as if you were logging on via a terminal on that system.


For using the RLOGIN command for remote login the syntax is:

-->rlogin hostname

This command provides an advantage over the telnet command that is here in this command you can specify a username on the command line, and can set it up so that when you rlogin to a host you will not be prompted for a password. Rlogin assumes you wish to login to an account with the same name as the account you are presently logged in as. If you wish to change this, use the -l option.
