What is phishing, and protect him on Yahoo!

First will explain what phishing. It's such a fraudulent Web technology, when users come to the letter, as it were, from the service (e-mail, forum, classmates, and even the banks). In a letter asking to pass on the link and log into your account. Clicking on the link, the user gets a page exactly like the login page on the service. 

You can not help noticing that the address in the Address bar to one letter different from the original, and enter a username and password in the form. As a result of your cabinet in the service falls into the hands of a rogue - he will get "keys" to lock in your account. As a result - lost money or sensitive data.

Return to your account in the service will be possible, as a rule, only referring to the administration for help. But it will take both time and nerves.

Phishing protection may be mainly only care user. We must remember that no one ever has to require you to enter personal data in any service, including the service itself that will not do. Also, some browsers can be integrated functional warning that the site is unreliable, and may work for anti-virus or firewall, if the phishing page from a computer virus climb.

But let me turn finally to Yahoo. To protect against phishing, they decided to make a "tag" for the computer. That is, you can set so that the entrance to the login page in the mailbox on the form will appear a special image.

The image may be as character text, and any image you downloaded. I only use numbers.

To create a print, go over the login form on the link "Create a personal seal ..", then select print what you create (text or upload an image). Print your text in the opened three ways to enter symbols (five each) and choose a background color Print this page (by clicking on "other colors ..."). To preview print click the button "Browse" button.

If satisfied, click "Save." Will show you the message that if you enter into the box from different computers, you need to create a print for everyone - click button "OK". You will transfer to the login page in the box. In the form of login and password, you will see you have created print - remember it and watch during the next authorization of Yahoo for its existence.

Here's a simple way to protect against phishing invented at Yahoo. To use or not - this is your choice. For access to the box, this chip does not affect.

And remember that the press is not tied to the mailbox, but to the user's computer, probably by setting a cookie (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookies) in your computer. If you are using print, then configure it on all computers used to access the box.

And best of all, for access to the box, use the email clients Outlook Express and the Bat. And then, no longer necessity enter through the browser on the service itself.

See ten-minute video on how to make a print in Yahoo!:

Make a backup images ladies and gentlemen ...

Well, no, really. Probably the most valuable thing on your computer from an ordinary user - a personal digital photos and video. Themselves think about what percentage of photos taken with digital cameras you have printed and put in a photo album? I, for example, from more than ten thousand photographs taken over the past five years of his soap box, opened barely more than two hundred. Yes, and it took more than friends and relatives. Yes, and I did it only because I had some time was a printer Epson, who made quite acceptable for the home photo album pictures.

The rest of the dusty where? True, the hard disk - it is the screw, it is hard. And one day it may be that including a computer, you will see the inscription: "Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". With roughly means: "Reboot and select proper boot device (in BIOS), or insert boot disk in the drive and press (any)". In essence, the problem with the hard disk of your PC, or an inability to find the operating system to boot. And then abruptly ponder why not buy a few discs and recorded valuable data for you.

Why am I all this? Just the other day with a friend in a phone mode, tried to start the computer, which after loading the BIOS has issued such a message. In parallel, rummaging through the Internet and found many reports of this error. I myself am in this business pros are not, therefore, lay out, as it is, all that I found and in what direction to dig. Can anyone come in handy.

This message is in the worst case may mean that your hard disk was covered with a copper basin. And you, respectively, have lost all "acquired by hard labor." That is, photos, videos, your work, diploma, project, contacts and so on. Any difference between the kind of movies, programs, photo wallpapers and other things we do not take into account. It's easy to be restored, even with the improvement. But the pictures ...

At best, you have a problem: with connectors, ribbon cable, power supply, the lack of launching files in the system Windows. Maybe, some problems with the settings in the BIOS - the wrong priorities for download from the carriers. In general, all that is being or settings or replacement iron.

The first thing to check - does the computer hard disk in the BIOS. You can go in there, pressing the button "Delete", at boot time. In the first section, you will see what the media is inserted - disk drives, hard disk drives. If it is not there, it's worth your hard disk to a computer companion, and, if he has a hard drive is not detected, you will need to service. If there is a guarantee on the screw, then you may someday and it will change. In the same BIOS setup in the section "BOOT" to look at priorities boot OSes with the carriers. The first to go the hard drive, namely: in "Boot device Priority" must be established "First (1) Boot Device - hard draw (HDD)" - a different motherboard can be different

As a result, determined that flew propeller. Although hard drive and showed signs of life, but all interviewed experts available in one voice said that judging by the click when it starts in Winchester flew head. They say that may have been hit, but I think the blame "gray" iron. Naturally, the mother and on another computer, he also has not been defined. Fortunately, the majority of the material was still on the disk and in the camera (there is a benefit from the bulk of modern  flash drives).

In general, the main causes of frequent errors: "Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key", - may be the following.
You got out of the sockets or damaged power cord from the power supply or cable from the motherboard to the disk. It is necessary to check it all. Personally, I have such a precedent.
The wrong order of boot devices in the BIOS (hard disk, floppy disk, floppy drive). Perhaps it could happen as a result of shutting down your computer with speakers in it (floppy, CD, stick). Select the first HDD. Also, the order of loading can be found by clicking during startup F2 key or TAB (where both) - just specify the computer where to be loaded. If all goes well, you need to change the priority of all.
If the BIOS hard drive visible and the boot order is correct, then most likely you have flown the operating system. It is treated reinstalling. I once had a case where somehow erased from friends in the computer launching Windows files. Perhaps some malware tried.
You still covered his hard drive. Contact the seller for warranty or service. The probability of restoring the hard drive is low, and the price issue can be considerably more expensive than a new hard drive. Better to buy a new better, but if the same back-guarantee, then install additional it into your computer or sell.

And the conclusion of this article is that still need to periodically make backups on external media ( "Backup" - backing up your valuable data). What I soon again and loans.

Swine influenza internet or lock Windows

In the Internet started up another infection. Not as terrible as swine flu, of course, but at least unpleasant. At this time, because of the virus in the system, there is the following scenario.

After starting the system, vynyrivayet window with the message that you are using unlicensed Windu, and must send SMSku for a specific number. What's it like he saw the owner just did a licensing system? The system no longer works.

The screen may display a window of this type (but not necessarily)



Why is such a long time I have encountered and described in one of the first articles of this blog. And about a relative of such malicious, wrote recently in the article about the removal of the informer, a news feed from your browser. But here problemma more serious than a banner on split-screen browser. Although you can catch her, just the same way, setting the video codec for viewing video on the sites.

Search the network gave several solutions the problem, and describe them.

Anywhere, no SMS not sent.
If you caught the Trojans Winlock.19, then you ... very lucky. In the literal sense. This malware is configured to self-destruct after two hours of work a computer. So the solution is simply the patience. Leave your computer on for several hours, and then restart. If the problem persists, try the following method.
Log in windose in safe mode. For this, during startup, press and hold down the F8 key on your keyboard, then select run in safe mode. On the C drive go at c: / documents and settings / all users / application data / and delete from there two files: blocker.exe and blocker.bin, or any file with the name of blocker. (Any extension). Also need to remove the registry reference to the file, such as HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ Userinit. After rebooting should work fine. Immediately do a search on the computer, searching for files blocker. (Any extension), and then remove. Just in case, take a deep test antivirus software. By the way, instead of the folder / all users / may need to go to the folder with your vindovsloginom, and then in / application data /.
Make attending disc Live CD (http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd/). Starts with him, and remove blocker.exe blocker.bin the folder: / documents and settings / all users / application data / and then on item 3.
You can also try to find the extra files called WINLOGON.EXE. Only the file has the right nasuschestvovanie in the system in the folder C: \ Windows \ System32. If you find it in another folder - removed immediately. Under this name can be masked by more than a hundred different viruses.

In general, I hope that you have a first or second case. In the future, do not install any video codec to view video on the sites - the virus is often there. To view the online video rather conventional flash player.

How do I remove ticker (news block pop-up) with screen

Frankly, the problem of the informer in the pop-up Internet eksplorere I encountered only once, and then, not on your computer. Perhaps the time has established a firewall Outpost Firewall, blocking access to the computer network of the dirtiest. 

In general, this article has arisen because of, frequent in recent visits to the blog to, in fact, a search query. If it is to summarize, it sounds like: "help remove the virus or remove the pop-up a syndication feed it the same informer ruxvideosdghdfghdfgh with the Internet I have the screen of the computer code without free sms / sms». Approximately so, in different variants, and already a hundred times. A small search on the Internet showed that the problem is urgent, therefore, describe the symptoms and give its decision.

Let us briefly describe the problem. Often, in themselves guess what, sites and on sites with free programs, music, movies and so on, established special programs to be implemented in a user's computer informer adult sites, or the news stream. Alternatively, it may establish a virus, downloaded, along with any file from the Internet. Perhaps it will be installed along with a special video codec to view video from the site. In general, as it gets to you in the computer a lot of options. And after the next reboot the computer and launch IE browser, the bottom of the screen appears with a banner advertising that can not be closed.








In informers also have a suggestion to send an SMS, so that it can be removed. Of course not a fact that it will disappear after entering the code, and not the fact that this code, you generally get. But the creators of this program are beaten on the psychology - hardly a young man or a member of the office wants the parents, or boss, saw it in his computer. And accordingly sent smski. Do not do it! Must be protected, while in the network - antivirus and firewall. Alternatively, you may receive the informer, in general, blocking the work of the browser, and requires subscription fee for using them - this is also a divorce.
 

The most common solution of the following.

Open Internet Explorer.
We go in the top menu - clicked "Tools" - we click "Internet Options" - we click the Programs tab - we click "Add-Ins" - choose "Add-ins, used by Internet Explorer».
Find all the elements containing the name of ending * lib.dll.
Click on these add-ins one by one, and at the bottom of the page click "Disable"
Exit Options, click "OK".
In order to take effect, you need to close Internet Explorer and start it again.

Theoretically, ticker should disappear. You may have to try to disable all add-ons, in turn, to identify desired.
 

Also in the "Options" you can get without running explorer. To do this, click Start, then Control Panel, and to open a folder, "Internet Options".
 

Also recommended in the Internet Options to delete cookies and Internet files (General Tab). And also set all the defaults by clicking Reset in the Advanced tab. 

If the problem is in the Opera browser, it is better to simply reinstall the browser, for this:

to remove (uninstall) the program;
remove the remnants of the C: \ Programm Files \ Opera;
reinstall.
 

Hopefully, this technique will help you remove a syndication feed, or informer, with the screen of your computer.
 

And finally I repeat: "Always use antivirus and firewall (firewall) while working in the network!".

How to safely use the Internet

I will start from experience.

Almost immediately after their companies to connect homes to the network and the first visits to the Internet, the strangeness began. First, when downloading the browser started open any sites (of course "interesting" content), then began braking.


But patience was exhausted when the night before normal finishing work on the second day when you turn around I was greeted by a message reading: "In your computer downloaded a virus and that you would not have done it will slow down your system. In order to get medication Bring $ 20 on a purse WebMoney WMZxxxxxxxx or E-Gold xxxxxxx. ». And indeed PC was working very slowly, including when running in Safe Mode.


The only solution, then for me was to reinstall the operating system by formatting drive C.


Unfortunately I did not even think to photograph the message. Because the number of purse you can go to arbitration Vebmani to WM-keeper blocked the attacker.


As you may have guessed I think, this article will focus on the fight against malware such as (but head and share it): e-mail worms, Internet worms, file viruses, Trojans, stealth viruses, polymorphic viruses, bodiless viruses, macro viruses, viruses amazing documents of MS Office, script viruses, spyware (Spyware), program-kidnappers passwords, dialer, adware (Adware), a potentially dangerous software, hacking tools, programs, hatches, joke programs, malicious scripts and the like - helluva lot of common in the network.


But something happened that had happened, because of the lack of appropriate software installed on your computer, simply did the necessary with the walking on the network. These are prog, used in conjunction antivirus + firewall (also known as a firewall).


Anti-Virus detects and protects the system from malware already running on your computer (viruses, Trojans, etc.), check the incoming mail and downloadable files. For security but a deep analysis of the system once a week should do, and periodically update the antivirus database.


Firewall also protects against outside intrusion, scanning the computer will warn about the activities of programs seeking access to the network. You'd be surprised how many of them (Wind, for example, although Refresh - Immediately turn off the automatic update system, if you are not licensed windose!). Firewall will also show all the connections currently set to a network that will block unwanted ads, banners and popapy, the activity of malicious scripts running (an elementary example is the already described way to run an undesirable site when you start the browser, which quickly begins to irritate).

I personally use an antivirus program for protection of ESET NOD32 and firewall Outpost FireWall.

In addition to these widely used are: Kaspersky Anti-Virus, DrWeb, Panda Internet Security, Norton AntiVirus; firewall Zona Alarm Security, AGAVA FireWall and many others.

There is also a mass of niche programs. Some of them are struggling just like with keyloggers or block only advertising. Others block the work of trojans gather information about your passwords to access various resources on the Internet and purse payment systems, analyzing the clipboard, and transmitting information to the host of the virus.

So these findings:

Need to attend to secure the protection of your computer (install antivirus and firewall programs - very desirable, in order to guarantee database updates, license, configure your firewall to Windows).

From time to do deep analysis of antivirus and a firewall for malicious programs.

Scan all files downloaded from the Internet for viruses (includes setting up a program-rocking).

Check also all e-mail and download files if you are not sure of their "clean", do not go to suspicious links in the letters had come as "spam".

Immediately delete suspicious if an antivirus program "says" that they are infected. Consider but one thing: Do not use simultaneously two anti-virus software - may cripple the system (they do not play well with each other).

Be sure to keep active anti-virus and firewall when you are on different warez and "interesting" sites.

Therefore, safe walks in the network.

How to connect Skype for audio and video communication on the Internet

With the development of Internet networks on our open spaces, more and more opportunities for communication are Internet users. One of these - it calls on Skype. Skype - free software for text (IM), audio and video communication in the Internet. The Official SAT program "Skype.com", there can also download the latest version of the program.

For such communication through Skype need a good Internet connection. For example: leased lines, ADSL, 3G - providing fast data transfer. For audiozvonkov may well be enough to 33.6 kbit / s, audio, or faster than 128 kbit / s, for video transmission. An hour consumes about 30MB of traffic during the audio communication. Regarding the quality of sound and video, then Skype will automatically detect the correct ones to encrypt the signal, depending on your internet connection. Technically you must have a headset with microphone (available separately), and a webcam for visual communication.

Skype provides an opportunity to communicate directly via the Internet - free. It features: audiozvonkov, video calls and text chat - with only one computer to the network. If you need to make calls to landline or mobile phone, such services are paid. However, such calls are much cheaper than calls from phone to phone. Therefore, mobile operators and fight for a ban Skype. And some directly blocking its use on mobile devices. This same article was devoted to the Internet communications via Skype.

The program can be downloaded as the official site, so at fayloobmennike. Many answers to questions on Skype can be read on the site «Skype in Russia". To install the program to run the file «SkypeSetup.exe». During installation, the computer must be connected to the Internet.

After filling click on the button "Authorization". There will be a registration and authorization at the same time you are on the server program.

If you specified username is already taken, you will be offered options based on your name and surname. So my result was registered Skype login «vsemeniuk».

After the registration window opens, where you will be asked to look at the possibility of Skype, the sound check, import data about your contacts, or go to work with the program.

Program interface is fairly easy and intuitive control. So in order to customize the program by itself, change or add personal information, install the avatar to press the button "Personal Settings" and there choose. Program settings and audio-video look on the top menu: "Tools-Options".

In order to make a call to another Skype user click "Add New Contact--in entry form user login-search-select it from the list-button" Add Contact ". Contact appears in the list of contacts, and the user will post that you want to log in to communicate with him. Make phone calls in the future click on the contact, and in Provo at the window, "Call". Also, right below the window is a form for writing and sending text messages.

To test the service in your list of contacts at once there is contact with the server program «Echo / Sound Test Service». By call this contact, you can check your work aparatury and connections.
