Surprise Yahoo! Messenger Friends Who Pretend to be Offline


Surprise Yahoo! Messenger Friends Who Pretend to be Offline
You want to chat with a buddy on Yahoo! Messenger but his status on Yahoo! says Off-Line.

There are two possibilities here - your friend could be really offline or he may have logged into Yahoo! Messenger in “Invisible Mode” to avoid interruptions.

(Yahoo! Messenger has a Stealth settings feature that lets you choose the people who see you as online and offline.)

You can however beat that mask easily with services like Xeeber or VNGrabber that reveal the exact status of your Yahoo! Messenger friends or any other Yahoo! user.

All you have to do is type the Yahoo! Messenger username and you will instantly know the exact online status of that person. Time to put on your detective gloves.

Now consider a completely different scenario - how do Google Talk users talk to their friends who are using Windows Live or Yahoo! Messenger ?


Here’s a a possible solution to make voice-over IP calls between Google Talk, MSN/Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger for free.

1. If you are on Google Talk and want to voice chat with someone on Yahoo!, add service@gtalk2voip.com as your Gtalk friend and then send the following message to your new buddy:

CALL xyz@yahoo.com [use your friends Yahoo! ID instead of xyz]

2. If you are on Yahoo! Messenger and want to connect with a Google Talk user, add gtalk2voip@yahoo.com to your Yahoo! buddy list and send the following message:

CALL xyz@gmail.com [use your friends Google Talk ID instead of xyz]

Malware Cleaner

Top Rated FREE and Powerful Malware Cleaner
If your computer's performance suddenly starts to get worse and the whole system behaves in an abnormal way, you're likely to have some kind of malware in your hard drive. Anyway, just to be sure, you can launch this program and see for yourself.

RunScanner analyzes your system (with two possible alternatives, quick or full scan) and displays all running processes in Windows file system and Registry. Each one of the elements has some icons to its left that provide you with more information about it, although you'll have to check that online as the program doesn't include a help file.

Scans are very quick (even the full one) and can help you discover what's wrong with your system. Just bear in mind that this is not a definitive solution and that you need to be sure of what you're doing before actually deleting anything. Just in case, the program includes a backup option to unroll unwanted changes.

RunScanner also features a process killer and a hosts file editor.

RunScanner Features
1. Scanning of 80+ hijack locations
2. HOSTS file editor
3. Process Killer
4. Online Malware/Whitelist Analysis.
5. FREE

Startup analyzer utilities are hard to use for novice computer users but this one is easier because it has online malware analysis, MD5 hash calculation of files + online file rating and online lookup of scanned entries. All this makes RunScanner easier to determine which entries are likely to be malicious.



RunScanner can be used in Beginner or Expert mode. Expert mode is for advanced users for tweaking startups, scanning, reporting, filtering and delete features are made available. As for Beginner mode, it is for users with little computer knowledge that want to do scan and upload their results to a forum or send their results to a malware specialist.

Cool Data Recovery Tool


TestDisk description

TestDisk is a tool to check and undelete partitions
TestDisk was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally erasing your Partition Table).

TestDisk is a free and useful program which queries the BIOS ( DOS/Win9x) or the OS ( Linux, FreeBSD) in order to find the Hard Disks and their characteristics ( LBA size and CHS geometry). TestDisk does a quick check of your disk's structure and compares it with your Partition Table for entry errors. If the Partition Table has entry errors, TestDisk can repair them. If you have missing partitions or a completely empty Partition Table, TestDisk can search for partitions and create a new Table or even a new MBR if necessary.

TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, the command line parameters /log and /debug can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.

TestDisk can find lost partitions for all of these file systems:

· BeFS ( BeOS )
· BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )
· CramFS, Compressed File System
· DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
· HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File System
· JFS, IBM's Journaled File System
· Linux Ext2 and Ext3
· Linux Raid
· RAID 1: mirroring
· RAID 4: striped array with parity device
· RAID 5: striped array with distributed parity information
· RAID 6: striped array with distributed dual redundancy information
· Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
· LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
· Mac partition map
· Novell Storage Services NSS
· NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 )
· ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
· Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
· Unix File System UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
· XFS, SGI's Journaled File System

Run Firefox From Removable Media


This advanced tip makes it possible to run Firefox from removable media, such as a USB memory stick. This will allow you to run Firefox with your personal settings from any computer, even those that don't have Firefox installed. It has only been tested on Windows XP/2000. The basic instructions are as follows:

1. Copy the Firefox application folder and your profile folder to the removable medium. In this example we will use R:\Firefox for the application folder and R:\FFProfile as the profile folder, assuming the drive letter for the removable media is R:.
2. Create a simple batch file called R:\Firefox.bat with the following line:

start \Firefox\firefox.exe -profile \FFProfile

(How to create a Batch File)

3. Optionally, disable the disk cache to reduce the amounts of file writes to the removable storage by using about:config to set browser.cache.disk.enable to false.

The reason why a batch file is needed instead of a simple shortcut is that a shortcut uses absolute paths, and since the actual drive letter for the removable media may change depending on which computer it is plugged into, the relative path used in the batch file is guaranteed to work anywhere.

How to avoid hacker attacks on Mozilla's browser

 Security problems with Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer browser helped pave the way for Mozilla Firefox to emerge as an alternative for Web surfers.

However, Firefox users should be aware that hackers can exploit software flaws and design features to launch attacks.

The following configuration changes, recommended by CERT/CC, can disable various features and set up the browser to run in a secure state, limiting the damage from malware attacks.

To get started, select Tools, then Options.



 




IMPORTANT NOTE: The images from these CERT/CC recommendations came from an older version of Firefox. On newer versions, the display screens will vary slightly but the advice/recommendations still apply

In the General tab, you can manually set your home page and check to ensure Firefox is your default browser.





In the Privacy tab, select the Cookies sub-category. Here you can disable cookies or change your preferences for how the browser handles them.

CERT/CC recommends enabling cookies for the original site only. Additionally, by enabling the option unless I have removed cookies set by the site, a web site can be "blacklisted" from setting cookies when its cookies are removed manually.





In general, CERT/CC recommends you do not use the Firefox feature to store passwords.

If you decide to use the feature, be sure to use the measures available to protect the password data on your computer.

Under Firefox's Privacy category, the Passwords subcategory contains various options to manage stored passwords, and a Master Password feature to encrypt the data on your system.

Use this option if you decide to let Mozilla Firefox manage your passwords.








From the Content category, you can configure Firefox to block pop-up ads and warn when web sites try to install extensions or themes.

You should also Disable Java unless required by the site you wish to visit. Again, you should determine if this site is trustworthy and whether you want to enable Java to view the site's content.

Click on "Advanced" to disable specific JavaScript features.









Firefox's Downloads tab offers the option to change actions taken when files are downloading.

Any time a file type is configured to open automatically with an associated application, this can make the browser more dangerous to use. Vulnerabilities in these associated applications can be exploited more easily when they are configured to open automatically.

Click the View & Edit Actions button to view the current download settings and modify them if necessary.



The Download Actions dialog shows the file types and the actions the browser will perform when it encounters a given file type.

For any file type listed, click on either Remove Action or Change Action



You click on Change Action (from previous slide), select Save them on my computer to save files of that type to the computer.



This helps prevent automated exploitation of vulnerabilities that may exist in these applications


Firefox includes a feature to Clear Private Data to give users the option to remove potentially sensitive information from the web browser.

Click on Tools, then Save Private data to find the settings . This is where you can configure Firefox to remove potentially sensitive data from the browser




This is where you can configure Firefox to remove potentially sensitive data from the browser

System Cleaning Tools

 1. Diskeeper 2007 - Use this automatic disk defragmenter to boost your system's performance.


The beauty of Diskeeper is its simplicity. All you do is load it and schedule it to launch, and it keeps your computer running quickly without the need to manually defrag. The application is tremendously efficient, increasing our test computer's read time by more than 20 percent. The scheduler is flexible, allowing the program to run in the background according to your needs. For example, you can set it to start when your PC is idling in screensaver mode, or schedule it to run every day or only on weekends. Another bonus is that Diskeeper keeps your swap file at the front of the disk, which makes transferring information considerably faster.

Unfortunately, obtaining Diskeeper isn't as simple as using it. You must visit the publisher's site, fill out a form, then wait for an e-mail containing a link to the download. Also, it adds nearly four minutes to the boot process, although it doen't slow down any programs once they're in use. Still, the performance and functionality are superior to those of similar programs, and the user interface is intuitive. Diskeeper is well suited to users seeking better system performance and willing to pay a bit extra for the experience.
