If you've let your guard down -- or even if you haven't -- it can be hard to tell if your PC is infected. Here's what to do if you suspect the worst. Heard this one before? You must run Antivirus software and keep it up to date or else your PC will get infected, you'll lose all your data, and you'll incur the wrath of every e-mail buddy you unknowingly infect because of your carelessness. You know they're right. Yet for one reason or another, you're not running Antivirus software, or you are but it's not up to date. Maybe you turned off your virus scanner because it conflicted with another program. Maybe you got tired of upgrading after you bought Norton Antivirus 2001, 2002, and 2003. Or maybe your annual subscription of virus definitions recently expired, and you've put off renewing. It happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of. But chances are, either you're infected right now, as we speak, or you will be very soon. For a few days i

HOW TO FIX THE BROKEN INTERNET EXPLORER So one of your friends, “not you of course”, has managed to nuke Internet Explorer and they are unsure how they did it. You’ve eliminated the possibility of viruses and adware, so this just leaves you and a broken IE. Before you begin to even consider running a repair install of the OS, let’s try to do a repair on IE instead. THE REPAIR PROCESS Start the Registry Editor by typing regedit from the Run box. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Active Setup \ Installed Components \ {89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383} and then right-click the “IsInstalled value.” Click Modify. From there, you will change the value from 1 to 0. All right, go ahead and close the editor and reinstall IE from this location. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG If messing with the registry and something goes horribly wrong, you can use “Last Known Good Configuration (F8 Safe Mode)” or a Restore Point to get b

SPEED UP WINDOWS XP BOOTING TIME This trick is to make Windows XP boot running fast. Before you do the configuration please make a note of the real information that you want to changed. You could record the information in many ways, for example : you capture the screen, you could write all the necessary information into notepad or other text editor, or even you could copy paste the real information data. Once again, it depends on how you want to do it. This information could be useful if something going wrong, then you can put the default information into it. OK now just follow my instructions : Open your notepad, type del c:\windows\prefetch\ntosboot-*.* /q Save as ntosboot.bat in c:\ drive Go to Start Menu > Run > type gpedit.msc Double click on Windows Settings under Computer Configuration Double click again on Shutdown in the right window New window will appear then click Add > Browse > locate your ntosboot.bat file Click Open > OK > Apply and C

Fix the problem with seeing them secrue sites (banks or online stores) i found this very usefull to me at my work (isp backbone support lol, at the time i was regular support) . Any way... what u need to do is make a new notepad file and write i t i n the following DLL's.. just copy-paste these regsvr32 SOFTPUB.DLL regsvr32 WINTRUST.DLL regsvr32 INITPKI.DLL regsvr32 dssenh.dll regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll regsvr32 sccbase.dll regsvr32 slbcsp.dll regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll and save it as > all file types, and make it something like securefix.bat. then just run the file and your problem should be gone.

Because of the security features built into Windows XP, it is virtually impossible to get back into the system without the password. You have several options to try and get around this problem. If you have access to another user account with administrator rights, you can use that account to change the password of the account that is locked out. You can also use the default Administrator account that is built into Windows XP. First you need to boot the system into Safe Mode. Restart your system. When you see the blue Dell globe or screen, press the ( F8 ) key about 3 times a second. You should get the Windows startup menu. Use the (Up or Down) arrow keys to highlight (SafeMode) Press (Enter) on (Safe Mode), then press (Enter) on (Windows XP). The system should boot to Safe Mode. Once you are at the Account Log on Screen, click on the icon for the user account with administrator rights, or click on the icon for the administrators account.   Note: For Home the Administrator a

Introduction This tutorial is more of a tip than a tutorial. It just explains how to calculate offsets for jumps and calls within the program you are patching. Types of Jumps/Calls Here I will just describe the different types of jumps and calls which you will come across: Short Jumps Short jumps be they conditional or unconditional jumps are 2 bytes long (or 1 nibble if your Californian ;-). These are relative jumps taken from the first byte after the two bytes of the jump. Using short jumps you can jump a maximum of 127 bytes forward and 128 bytes backwards. Long Jumps Long jumps if they are relative are 6 bytes long for conditional jumps and are 5 bytes long for unconditional jumps. For conditional jumps 2 bytes are used to identify that it is a long jump and what type of jump (je, jg, jns etc) it is. The other 4 bytes are used to show how far away the target location is relative to the first byte after the jump. In an unconditional jump only 1 byte is used to identify it as a long

You've downloaded a *.BIN file, but there was no *.CUE file associated and you still want to burn the *.BIN file using Nero Your options are: 1) Create yourself a *.CUE 2) Convert the *.BIN to an *.ISO 3) OR use Nero to burn without the *.CUE file!!! Yes, that's possible... just follow these steps and you will be sorted. No need for *.CUE files anymore Ok, here we go... 1) Start Nero 2) File -> Burn Image 3) Browse to the *.BIN file that you want to burn and open it 4) A window saying "Foreign Image Settings" will open 5) Check the settings. They should be as followed: * Type of image: leave it to Data Mode 1 * Select the Raw Data check box   Note ->> The block size will change automatically from 2048 to 2352   * Leave Image Header and Image Trailer unchanged and set to 0 * Leave "Scrambled" and "Swapped" check boxes unchecked 6) Click on burn! 7) Enjoy This tut was for Nero 5.x.x.x, I was told that "Burn

To burn a bin file, you will need an appropriate cue file. You do exactly the same as for iso files, but when you click on “burn image,” you don’t browse to the bin itself, but instead to the cue file, and you open that one. When the writer starts to burn, it will automatically search for the bin file and start burning it. In fact, the cue file tells the burning program where it can find the bin file that is attached to it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use the right cue file when you burn a bin. i.e both cue and bin files that are attached to each other must be located in the same folder, and every bin file has it’s own cue file. Normally, when you download a bin file, you can download the appropriate cue file as well. If you do not have the cue file (or feel bold) you can make the cue file yourself, which is really easy to do: a. Open notepad b. Copy the folowing text into notepad: FILE“nameofimage“BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00 Where nameofimage.bin is the

I am not sure where I found this tutorial, It’s been a while… It might even have been here...  So if it is one of yours, my hat goes off to you once again.... After reading the excellent tutorial on "Creating an FTP" that Norway posted… (I would suggest reading and following his tutorial first, then following up with this one) I thought that perhaps this tutorial might be pretty helpful for those interested in knowing how to configure their Bulletproof FTP Server that don't already know how...  Here's how to get started… This is for the BulletProof FTP Server 2.10. However, It should work fine on most following versions as well. I'm assuming you have it installed and cracked. Basics Start the program. Click on Setup > Main > General from the pull-down menu. Enter your server name into the 'Server Name' box. Under Connection set the “Max number of users" to any number. This is the limit as to how many users can be on your sever at a

Do you want to jazz up your graphics? Want to add a bit of pazazz to your art? Well, this guide features some knowledge, border effects, and even directions to make your own swirlie brushes! Now, open PSP and get ready to learn! Let's start off with the basics. -------------------------------------------------   Border Effects There are two main types of borders, solid borders, and decorative borders. A solid border is like a colored line that raps around the outside of your image and separates graphics from the rest of the page. You can have borders inside the outside borders to make awesome layer effects. Decorative borders are almost the same, except they are not completely connected. (Example - Dashed Borders) ------------------------------------------------- Dashed Borders   Open PSP and create an image about 380 x 100 pixels with a white background. Draw a bit with your paintbrush, just add some color. Now maximize your image. It should take up the whole page. Now go up to th

You don't need to pay a measly sum of dollars just to recover from a boot block mode. Here it is folks: AWARD Bootblock recovery: That shorting trick should work if the boot block code is not corrupted, and it should not be if /sb switch is used when flashing the bios (instead of /wb switch). The 2 pins to short to force a checksum error varies from chip to chip. But these are usually the highest-numbered address pins (A10 and above). These are the pins used by the system to read the System BIOS (original.bin for award v6), calculate the ROM checksum and see if it's valid before decompressing it into memory, and subsequently allow Bootblock POST to pass control over to the System BIOS. You just have to fool the system into believing that the System BIOS is corrupt. This you do by giving your system a hard time reading the System BIOS by shorting the 2 high address pins. And when it could not read the System BIOS properly, ROM Checksum Error is detected "so to spe

As found in the internet, written by Ankit Fadia   Important Note : Before you read on, you need to keep one thing in mind. Whenever you make changes to the Windows Registry you need to Refresh it before the changes take place. Simply press F5 to refresh the registry and enable the changes. If this does not work Restart your system   **************** Exiting Windows the Cool and Quick Way Normally it takes a hell lot of time just Shutting down Windows, you have to move your mouse to the Start Button, click on it, move it again over Shut Down, click, then move it over the necessary option and click, then move the cursor over the OK button and once again (you guessed it) click.This whole process can be shortened by creating shortcuts on the Desktop which will shut down Windows at the click of a button. Start by creating a new shortcut( right click and select New> Shortcut). Then in the command line box, type (without the quotes.) 'C:windowsrundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexe
