How to Restrict Virus or Trojan Attacks

Most of you are already aware of basic ways to protect your system from becoming infected. For the knowledge of new users,we will try to cover almost all techniques through which viruses infect your system and then methods to protect your system against these attacks.

Prevent PC or Laptops from Viruses or Trojans

If you want to know if your system is infected by either viruses and trojans then there are certain techniques, symptoms, and guidelines which will help you identify the problems. Similar to the human body being infected with a virus, a computer will also demonstrate symptoms to tell you that something is wrong. Here are some symptoms of a computer virus:

1. Your computer might be running slower than normal (decreased efficiency means slow processing, sometimes system lags, etc.).

2. Some programs might open without your permission.

3. System start up takes too much time to boot.

4. Various error messages appear on the screen when you open something.

5. System registry or task manager has been disabled or folder options is missing.

6. The most important: antivirus shows messages of detecting viruses, or in some cases unable to update antivirus, or sometimes not even able to install any new antivirus or security software.

7. While scanning your system with antivirus or anti spyware tool, it shows viruses but they’re not deleting.

Have you ever tried to understand how your system gets infected? What has infected your system? Is it because of your friend? A USB? Or maybe your online activity somehow resulted in infection of your PC or laptop? Today I will share each and every thing that can infect your system and how you can fix your PC or laptop if it’s already infected.

Did a system got infected because of your negligence or lack of awareness?

1. Using Cracked Versions of software, especially security ones like antivirus and anti-spyware

This is the primary cause of infection on a device. Hackers know that users often look for cracked versions, and are willing to exploit that. If we attach a trojan or a virus, and you receive an alert but you ignore, then you have not gotten rid of the trojan.

NOTE: If your antivirus doesn’t show any keygen or crack as a virus DON’T ASSUME THAT IT’S NOT A VIRUS. Most likely it’s a more advanced virus and you have been infiltrated. Please do not use cracked software.

2. Pen drive or USB drive :

The next biggest cause of infection to your system is USB and external hard disks.

Now how a virus enters into your system using USB drives. You have connected your USB drive to your friend’s computer and by chance your friend’s system is infected by a virus or Trojan, one with the property to replicate itself using memory. You take your USB back, plug it into your computer, and now your system is infected as well. If you are using good antivirus software, your antivirus will send you warning and alert messages – don’t ignore those.

3. Downloading things from unknown sites:

Users frequently search for files over the internet to download. Hackers know that certain icons have huge followings, and often they will bind malicious codes to files so that when users download wallpapers or other files to their system, the virus comes with it.

Now after discussing these things, you know your system was infected through negligence. It’s time for you to learn how to protect and defend your system from viruses and trojans.

HOW TO STOP VIRUS OR TROJANS 

1. Using A Good Antivirus:

There is a common misconception that the best anti-virus softwares require payment. This is one of the reasons that people go for cracked software. Here is one of the best free anti-virus softwares I have ever found.

Best Free Antivirus : Avira Personal Antivirus i.e Antivir. Avira is still the best free antivirus available on the internet because of its expert configuration ability.

You can download avira for free from:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/

After downloading the antivirus, you need to make it as good as a paid antivirus.

a. Install the antivirus and update it. Note updating antiviruses regularly is compulsory. Don’t worry, it will update itself automatically whenever an update is available.

b. After installation, at the top right-hand corner you will see a “CONFIGURATION” button. Just click on it and a new window will pop up.

c. At the top left-hand corner you will see a click box. Click on that. Now you will see several things in it.

1. Click on “Scanner.” Click on all files and set the “Scanner Priority” to high and click apply.

2. Click on “Guard” and click on all files and click on “Scan while reading and writing” and then click apply.

3. Click on “General” and click on select all and then apply. In “General,” tab to the WMI section and click on advanced process protection and then click apply.

4. After doing that, restart your PC.

Now you have made your free antivirus equivalent to a paid one.

Best Free Anti-Spyware: Spyware Terminator with crawler web security toolbar.

Download it for free :

http://www.filehippo.com/download_spyware_terminator/

Install spyware terminator with web security tool bar. Now the following problems are solved:

1. No Trojan can attack you.

2. Protection from malicious websites.

2. Solution for cracked versions of software:

As I mentioned earlier, never download cracks and keygens directly to your system. Several other methods are available. First, try to search for a Serial Key. If you didn’t find one then follow the next steps.

Before downloading any Crack and Keygen, go to the Website:

;

Now copy the download link of the Keygen or crack in the URL box provided on the website. This website contains all the world famous antiviruses and will scan files for you.

3. Pen drive or USB drive solution:

For windows 7, read my last article:

For windows XP, follow these steps:

How you can protect your system from being infected from the pen drive. Do the following three things, the rest is being cared for by your antivirus.

1. Turn off Auto Play Devices:

To do it, go to Start Menu–> RUN–>type gpedit.msc and press enter–>User Configuration–>Administrative templates–>System–>Turn off Autoplay–> click on enable and then select all drives.

2. Turn off Computer Browser service:

To do it go to Start Menu–> RUN–>type services.msc and press enter–>then Find Computer Browser service, disable it and then restart your system.

3. Most importantly, always scan pen drives or external hard drives after connecting them.

The best alternative is to use Linux, as there is no autorun or autoplay concept in Linux operating system.

4.Downloading Stuff from Unknown Sites Solution:

The solution of this problem is already provided. The web browser security toolbar will help you while surf only secured and genuine websites.

For Hackers

1. Use Deep Freeze on C drive: Always use deep freeze for testing hack tools. After the next restart, your system will be in same position it was previously, so this is a safe place to test tools.

2. Install Virtual Box, and over virtual box install another windows and test all hack tools using virtual windows. This will protect your system from being infected. It will also give you more knowledge about handling the viruses and other situations.

3. Use Sandbox browser to test run the downloaded files.

4. Create two to three fake email IDs and use them for testing Keyloggers and other fake email hacking software.

Windows 10 Wi-Fi Sense Explained: Actual Security Threat You Need to Know

Just one day after Microsoft released its new operating system, over 14 Million Windows users upgraded their PCs to Windows 10.

Of course, if you are one of the Millions, you should aware of Windows 10's Wi-Fi Sense feature that lets your friends automatically connects to your wireless network without providing the Wi-Fi password.

Smells like a horrible Security Risk! It even triggered a firestorm among some security experts, who warned that Wi-Fi Sense is a terrible and dangerous feature and that you should disable it right away.

Even some researchers advised Windows 10 users to rename their Wi-Fi access points.

Before discussing the risks of Wi-Fi Sense, let's first know how it works.

How Windows 10 Wi-Fi Sense works?

Windows 10 Wi-Fi Sense feature allows you to share your Wi-Fi password with your friends or contacts, as well as lets you automatically connect to networks that your friends and acquaintances have connected to in past, even if you don't know the password.

Now, when those friends are within the range of your Wi-Fi network, Windows 10 automatically joins the network with that saved password you just shared with your friends and logs them in, without prompting them for a password.

Enabled by Default, but It's not the actual Security Threat, Here's Why:

Wi-Fi Sense feature is enabled by default in Windows 10 to make it easier for users to receive instant access to the Shared Networks by their Friends or Contacts.

But, But, But… did you notice that the feature says "For networks I select..."?

"Enabled by default" doesn't mean your Wi-Fi passwords are automatically going to be shared with your Facebook or Skype contacts by default, unless you won’t manually configure your Wi-Fi Sense settings to share selected network access with any contact group.

Under "For networks I select..." option, you can explicitly control which group of contacts from which social networks get access to which Wi-Fi Network.

Until or unless you do not offer your Wi-Fi password to Wi-Fi Sense, it will not let selected contact group to connect to your network.

This means Wi-Fi password sharing option is OFF for every social network by default.

And of course even if you choose to share your Wi-Fi network with your contacts, Wi-Fi Sense only shares Internet access and not your actual Wi-Fi password.

Why You Should be Scared of Wi-Fi Sense (Actual Security Threat)

Microsoft promoted Wi-Fi sense as:

In simple words, now you don't need to read out loud your Wi-Fi password, character by character when your friends are at your home and want to use The Internet. So similarly, you don’t need to shout across the office or your friend’s house "What’s the Wi-Fi password?"

However:

"If you choose to share with your Facebook friends, any of your Facebook friends who are using Wi-Fi Sense on a Windows Phone will be able to connect to the network you shared when it's in range, You can't pick and choose individual contacts." -- Microsoft FAQ says.

As a general Internet user, I used to accept almost every friend request on the Facebook and also communicate with lots of people on Skype or Outlook. In short, the majority of people in my contact list are whom I don't know personally or trust.

So, If I can't choose any individual contact from my list, then enabling "Network password sharing feature" will share my network access with all my contacts in the selected social network.

Microsoft also Argued:

Neither it allows anyone to access your local resources so that nobody can hunt through your personal files.

However, We know that...

The biggest threat of sharing your Wi-Fi access with everyone on a list is just like you are allowing hackers to position themselves between you and the connection point i.e. Man-in-the-Middle attack.

In such attack scenarios, the hacker can access every piece of information you're sending out on the Internet, including important emails, account passwords or credit card information.

Sitting on the same network, an attacker can also target your machine directly using Metasploit or any other hacking tool.

Ultimately, Windows 10 Wi-Fi Sense probably is not the most secure feature in the world, but it is not that bad either, if in future, Microsoft could allow Windows 10 users to choose individual contacts from a group.

For Now… Should You Stop Using It?

Like many things in life, we have to make a choice between things that make our life comfortable and that provide us absolute security.

AND, if you are concerned more about security, just turn Wi-Fi Sense OFF.

How to Turn Windows 10 Wi-Fi Sense OFF?

To disable Wi-Fi Sense, go to Windows Settings, then Network & Internet and then click "Change Wi-Fi settings," and then "Manage Wi-Fi settings."

From there, you can change a variety of settings. Turn OFF everything under the Wi-Fi Sense heading; disable WI-Fi password sharing with Facebook, Outlook, or Skype; and have Wi-Fi Sense forget the list of known Wi-Fi networks.

IPv6 test day Just Around the Corner

World IPv6 day is scheduled to be held on June 8th,2011 and is sponsored by the Internet  Society (ISOC). The event mainly is a global scale test flight for the IPv6 and will start at midnight (GMT) of 8th  June for a period of around 24 hours.





Several Big companies will participate for the test including Google,Facebook,Yahoo and many other companies, will change their IP address from IPv4 to IPv6 for a period of 24 hours simultaneously at the same time. This test of the new IPv6 will provide real-world data for  hardware manufacturers, Internet Service Providers,Operating system vendors and for all the participating Web companies.
It is believed that IPv4 will saturate in the near future and even if its used ,will provide much security risk of managing or blocking a single malicious IP address that may be shared by thousands of genuine users.
What does it mean for you??…Well not much , the test is basically carried out in a controlled manner such that the problems are found and corrected.So a very few errors are expected for the big company sites while testing ,but it wont effect the average user much in terms of latency and might go unnoticed.
