Universal Guide to Windows – Part 1

Written by Zetacon. Posted in How-to, Microsoft, Security, Technology

If you’ re reading this, you are hopefully a Windows user. If you are anything but a Windows user, you are more than welcome to enjoy the other blog entries available here on iPocalypse. This particular post is meant to be a single resource for those looking for software, have experienced an irreversible crashing of Windows, or feel the need to restore their Windows machine to the factory default conditions by reformatting. Either way, this post is here to help individuals seek a number of programs to aid them in. I would recommend downloading these programs and backing them up on an external source, such as a USB jump drive, external hard drive, or even copying them to a CD/ DVD-RW drive so you can install these programs before connecting to the Internet again.

Disclaimer: This is meant to be an objectively compiled resource. I do not necessarily recommend or endorse any one or numerous programs listed here. In previous versions of this guide, I placed a ** in front of the programs as they conformed to my needs. However, my needs will not be the same as your needs. Therefore, you will have to determine yourself what your needs are and explore each program before downloading it.

Service Packs: Service Packs are essential to your Windows operating system. They provide important performance and security updates to help your Windows machine run more efficiently and be more secure.

Windows 7

Service Pack 1

Security Updates

Windows Vista – All Versions

Service Pack 1

Service Pack 2

 

Windows XP

Service Pack 1

Service Pack 2

Service Pack 3

 

 

Anti-Virus Software: There is a number of good anti-virus software out on the market. Some are paid versions while others are freeware versions. Personally, I believe that some of the freeware versions are equivalent to the paid versions, so I will be providing a few of the anti-virus freeware.

1. Avast Home Edition: Avast is a lightweight program specifically designed to find any all viruses, even the incoming ones, and remove them. Updates to the virus database are automatic and while they are pretty frequent, I think it can provide a nice peace of mind.

2. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE): Who knows Windows better than anyone? Microsoft. As such, Microsoft created an antivirus program for use with its own operating system.  MSE, as it is commonly called, works together with other Microsoft security tools, such as the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool but with added real-time protection.

3. Avira AntiVir Personal: With extensive malware recognition of viruses, trojans, backdoor programs, worms, and more Avira makes Anti-Virus ideal for any Windows PC. Installation and configuration are done in a couple of steps.

A help forum and phone support are available, as well as a Knowledge base with virus descriptions available on the web site.

 

Anti-Spyware: Anti-Spyware software helps protect your Windows machine from unwanted and harmful malicious software intending to ruin the performance and security of your PC.

1. MalwareByte’s AntiMalware: MBAM is a program that can detect some of the more advanced malware.

It includes a number of features, including a built-in protection monitor that block malicious processes before they even start.

2. SUPERAntiSpyware: Don’t let the cheesy name fool you. This program is considered one of the best out there. It’s light on system resources and has a very high detection rate. Its unique repair tool makes this program one of a kind.

 

 

Firewalls: Another crucial component to protecting your Windows machine, a firewall acts as a filter keeping malware out and helps to keep your PC running as it should. If you’re looking for something to replace Windows Firewall, here are four suggestions.

1. Comodo Firewall Pro: “It’s Pro? And it’s free?” Absolutely! Comodo Firewall Pro has a number of components inside of this program to maximize the protection of your PC. First it has its Network Defense and Proactive Defense components, providing protection on the inside

and outside of your Internet connection.

Second, it has its own malware scanner, which will scan upon installation. Comodo also contains a variety of other tools to help you with your PC’s security: View Active Connections, My Network Zones, View Firewall Events, and much more.

2. Zone Alarm: Zone Alarm Free, fortunately, is now available for your Windows Vista machine. And, thankfully, it is still a #1 firewall used amongst Windows 2000 and XP users. Zone Alarm is a more unbloated version of Comodo, in that it only does a few simple tasks. First, the firewall portion protects your PC at

your discretion, allowing you to set the filter on certain applications connecting to the Internet. Second, the Internet lock halts all web traffic while your Windows 200o/XP machine is not in use or if you have not opened a web browser.

Third, the Zones portion of the program monitors overall activity on your PC and notifies you when a new application wants to connect to the Internet.

3. Sunbelt Personal Firewall: Sunbelt Personal Firewall helps users control how their computers exchange data with other computers on the Internet or within the local network. It’s a necessity for all desktop computers connected to a broadband Internet. Versions 4.2.2 and prior are FREE for home and personal use.

 

 

Internet Browsers: Having the right Internet browser makes all the difference when it comes to your PC. It’s good to have an all-around browser: fast, open source, and secure.

Having all three of these components in a browser will make your Internet browsing more enjoyable and less of a hassle.

1. Mozilla Firefox: One of the more common browsers on the open source market today, Firefox is known for its speed as well as its flexibility when it comes to your browsing experience. Firefox has over 5,000 add-ons and plug-ins to make your browsing experience more secure and enjoyable for you.

Integrated anti-phising and anti-malware measures within the browser make this Internet browser a must have.

2. Opera: Oper a is

Internet Explorer 9: The recently released IE 8 is faster, safer, and more customizable. If you use IE 8 and are looking to update, click the link above.

4. Avant: The Avant browser is more of a secret in the web-browsing community, in my opinion.
Avant is based on Microsoft Internet Explorer’s rendering engine but built by a smaller programming firm. Avant is wicked fast and preloaded with an abundance of skins for personalization.

Tabbed browsing and toolbars are also features of this browser, among others.

Avant lacks expansion and has been known to create problems in Vista. This is a good alternative to IE.

5. Maxthon: For those of you who want to try something different from IE and Firefox, Maxathon is a good alternative. With its ADs blocker and advanced content filter, Maxthon is ideal for those that want to escape from “the norm”.

6. Flock: Flock, as the company is aptly named, believes that users today are using the Web differently than they did years ago. Flock believes that the web browsers of today have not kept pace with these changes in online behavior. Hence, the browser ‘Flock’ was born, an open source browser that meets the stands of today’s web browsing. Many versions of Flock are available.

7. Safari: Safari is Apple’s pride and job web browser. All though it was designed for the Mac OS platform, it has also been made available to Windows users.

8. Seamonkey: Formerly known as the “Mozilla Application Suite”, Seamonkey contains a web browser, a mail client, an HTML editor, Web development tools, and an IRC chat client all in one package. Ideal for those that want a somewhat lightweight application to do a number of tasks.

 

9. Netscape Navigator: An oldie to the browsing community, Netscape Navigator offers high speed web browsing and instant messaging capabilities as well as tabbed browsing, support for buddy icons, and more.

10. Google Chrome: A newbie to the browsing community, Google Chrome combines a design sophisticated with technologies that allow you to surf the Web faster, safer, and easier.

 

Software Updates: We all know that checking your software manually and obtaining the updates can be a royal pain in the rear. That’s why it’s handy to have one of these installed on your computer. Automatic software updaters can find the updates necessary for your computer to keep it safe and secure. (Note: I have only come across one thus far as listed below.

If you have suggestions for others, please let me know.)

 

1. Secunia PSI: Secunia PSI detects and notifies you of outdated and end-of-life programs as well as providing links to download the updates. It also provides you with a comprehensive Dashboard to show you statistics compared to the rest of the world, statistics for development in your Secunia PSI score for the past few weeks, Security Patches for your programs in the past few months, and a look at the current state of your installed programs. Secunia PSI also provides a system tray icon to allow a quick glance at whether or not any of your software needs updating.

 

 

File Clean-up/Recovery: File Clean-up programs are nice to get any un-needed files off of your system. What is an un-needed file? Anything in your Temporary Internet Folder, cookies, sometimes the tmp, etc. Brand levitra
Some browsers can clean up your files, while there are other more sophisticated programs to clean

up the rest of the junk. Viagra pills File Recovery programs allow you to retrieve files that have been deleted permanently from your hard drive and recover them to a manageable state.

1. ATF Cleaner: ATF Cleaner is a nice program if you don’t want to install another program onto your hard drive. Its easy interface makes cleaning up files a breeze.

However, this program is only available for Windows XP and 2000 operating systems only.

2. Recuva: Don’t let this program’s pronunciation fool you. Pronounced “recover”, this file recovery technology allows you to recover files that have been permanently deleted from your system, whether it was by you, a virus, or even an annoying Windows error.

 

 

 

Fun Programs: Every Windows machine should have some sort of interesting and appealing program on it.  Check out these programs below:

1. ObjectDock: A program from Stardock, ObjectDock gives Windows users the feel for the Mac OS X dock. Customizable icons, grouped icons, and other customizable features make this program a must have.

2. Automatic Wallpaper Changer: I’m sure the lot of you tend to ch ange your w

allpaper often, so this program is a must have for you. AWC, as it is commonly called, allows you to set a timer between wallpaper changes as well as customize other particulars with the program.

Ideal for Windows XP users.

 

3. Desktop Sidebar: If you’re a Windows XP user, you may to a certain extent envy the Windows Vista sidebar. Well, envy no more. Desktop Sidebar has a variety of features that you’ ll drool over.

Order Amoxil Preinstalled features include a System Performance monitor, RSS feed, Calendar, Volume Control, Media Player, Shortcut area, and weather information, just to name a few.

 

Windows Gadgets: One of the more interesting things about Windows Vista and 7 is the ability to install certain pieces of software on your system or “gadgets” as they are often referred to. The list below contains some of the more system-oriented ones.

1. CPU Meter: CPU Meter allows you to keep track of your processor usage, supporting CPUs up

to 24 cores. It’ll also keep track of your CPU temperatures (with CoreTemp installed) and your RAM usage.

 

2. Network Meter: This gadget allows you to keep track of your network activity.

Do note that of those cards in those series are supported and some may need the latest graphics card driver from Windows Update.

5. System Control: This handy gadget allows you to shut down, restart, log off, or hibernate your Windows machine without ever needing to press the “Start” button. It is also customizable with 16 skins.

6. Battery Meter: Battery Meter gives you a more comprehensive look at your laptop/notebook and/or netbook’s battery life.

The Quest For A Skype Alternative: Logitech Vid Review

Written by shaggysi0. Posted in Technology

Jenni posted an article recently about the issues she has been having with Skype.

As I converse with her over skype almost daily, I can attest to them.

Don’t get me wrong, Skype is a great service, but I think many of us just wish it were a l

ittle better. I’m an eye-candy kind of person and I HATE Skype’s UI. I wish it was sleeker and better executed.

And no, I don’t want to install your gaming add-on thingy. Cheap Cialis online Viagra ohne rezept kaufen

Jenni and I have considered switching away from the service for some time. Order Amoxil Levitra o cialis Viagra pills We are beginning to test out alternatives.

We have tried Google Voice and Video Chat, and the results were quite pleasing, although Prospecto levitra we feel that the service has a long way to go in terms of functionality.

Swift codes Ireland agent location

Most recently, I was reading an issue of Computer Active, one of the UK’s popular computing magazines, and they had a Top Freeware article. Logitech Vid was mentioned and I thought it was interesting so Jen Levitra pill
and I gave it a try.

The software is free, and will work with ANY webcam, not just a Logitech one.

You can pick it up from here:- Logitech Vid Download Page The software is advertised as “The Easiest Way To Make A Voice/Video Call”.

Once downloaded and installed, you are required to set up a user account, and invite friends.

This process is about as simple as it could possibly be. MoneyGram ANGOLA agent location

The main Contacts dialog’s UI was different, a bit of a welcome change from the Skype UI, but still by no means amazing. Brand levitra
Anyway, into the nitty gritty…

In a call, the service’s performance was passable.

Video quality was about as good Levitra price as Skype, however there were some major issues with Levitra without prescription the buy penicillin audio which made the call very difficult.

Doxycycline pharmacy I have had Skype calls that have remained connected for over 120 hours!!

The software boasts an in-built IM facility.

Now, the nice thing about this is that – I have 2 monitors – I could have Jen’s video full screen on my secondary monitor and the chat dialog would pop up on the other one.

Skype has a really annoying Levitra buything where if you want to send an IM to the person you’re video calling such as a link or whatever, the video reattaches itself to

the IM window automatically.

I find this extremely annoying.

I like the two separated, so this albeit small quirk ticked a box with Logitech Vid.

That said, the software is nothing special and extremely basic at best.

Op userinfo username buy levitra cheap We considered it less reliable than Skype and it would definitely not suffice as our go-to service to stay in contact, so it’s still Skype for the minute, with Google Talk remaining as our back up.

RSA SecurID Breach Causes Concern

Written by Alastor. Posted in Security, Technology

RSA is the security division of the EMC corporation.

MoneyGram ANGOLA agent location They offer two-factor au thentication using

the SecurID token.

Order Amoxil It works by providing a dynamic password via a hardware device which changes the password every 60 seconds in conjunction with your static password.

Many enterprise and government agencies use this method of authentication to provide more robust security while allowing employees to still remember their passwords.

Two-factor authentication has been an increasing demand.

Levitra buy Google, eBay, Paypal, banks, and password managers take advantage of SecurID, Yubikeys, Symantec’s VIP service and other “authenticator” methods to give consumers the same level of security.

Cheap Cialis online

An attack on RSA’s SecurID in March led to many concerns on whether or not the token system was compromised. RSA released in an open letter the details of Viagra pills the situation and that data was stolen that could lead to millions of SecurID tokens being affected.

RSA leads the market in two-factor security; the fact that the entire structure of SecurID might be available to adversaries is very detrimental to entities dependent on this technology.

SWIFT Codes for all Banks in Kazakhstan RSA’s reputation might be at stake, as well

as the idea of authenticating with tokens. A survey conducted by PhoneFactor was released on April 27th which showed 44% of IT professionals who knew about the RSA data breach are re-evaluating token based authentication.

The survey included over 400 IT professionals across multiple industry Buy Levitra Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed sectors, of which, 48.6% are already using hardware or software tokens in their organizations.

With so many websites, businesses, and governments relying on RSA, what do they plan to do Op userinfo username buy levitra cheap?

RSA was reluctant to release information at first and played it off that the breach was nothing serious.

However, after Lockheed Martin and other United States defense contractors were damaged by cyber attacks, concern grew that RSA security breaches were connected to the attacks. Levitra pill
RSA fin ally

admitted to the severity of the attack and issued a public letter on their site.

Doxycycline pharmacy This recklessness might damage the RSAs long term reputation and lead way to more cyber attacks

and decreased confidence in their products.

RSA eventually offered to replace SecurID tokens for any customer that asks.

Buy Antibiotics online whithout prescriptions Additionally, RSA is offering their Transaction Monitoring service technologies to costumers, which is used by some banks to block fraudulent transactions. RSA has ordered 40 million new tokens containing different seed numbers, preventing malicious users from using the known seed numbers gained from Levitra drug
the attack. This prevents crimin als from gener

ating the correct series of numbers to authenticate a SecurID password field.

Prospecto levitra

I’ve never used SecurID, but I am taking advantage of two-factor authentication anywhere its supported.

Viagra ohne rezept kaufen This reminds us that security through obscurity is not an effective means to lock down

important data. With the growing number of attacks on companies like RSA, Sony, and Epsilon, its obvious that hacktivists and criminals are not backing down.

World IPv6 Day

Written by Alastor. Posted in Technology

The first widely adopted Levitra buy Internet Protocol version was revision 4, “IPv4.” Today, just about every single computer, router, ISP, and server accepts IPv4 packets and is incompatible with Internet Protocol version 6, “IPv6.” We know that IPv4 only has approximately 4.3 billion addresses for allocation.

? The truth is, IP depletion has been a topic for years,

and is now a concern.

IANA has already exhausted their address space on January 31st, 2011

and RIR APNIC’ s on April 15th, 2011. Swift codes Ireland agent location The remaining RIR’s are expected to deplete their space within a few years.

World IPv6 day w as set for June 8th, 2011,

as a means to test pilot IPv6 enabled technology.

Buy Antibiotics online whithout prescriptions Levitra pill
Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai, and Limelight Networks will be some of the major players to offer Order Amoxiltheir content over IPv6 to the public for 24 hours. The point of “World IPv6 Day”

is to spread the word and motivate ISPs, hardware vendors, and other networking entities to move closer to IPv6 as the address place for IPv4 ends.

Viagra pills This would help prevent an Internet wide problem — because lets face it — everything has an IP address now days!

The good news is, the wide use of NAT routing has slowed down the IP exhaustion.

Prospecto levitra NAT routers allow a household for example, to use one public IP address, while giving each Internet device a local address which is dealt with by the router.

The biggest problem is most companies are reluctant to start offering IPv6 space because its not practical.

Again, most equipment, sites, and software isn’t enabled for IPv6, why bother with it Levitra o cialis ? Some ISPs just think this problem will go away.

Cheap Cialis online A means to solve it might be to enable NAT routing at the backbone level rather than forcing your consumers to buy new router and having  to fiddle with their computers.

My ISP, Insight Levitra side effects Communications released a statement on the CEO’s blog stating:

Insight is working to prepare for the upcoming changeover and we’re going to make the transition seamless for our customers.

Op userinfo username buy levitra cheap Viagra ohne rezept kaufen That’s why our customers don’t need to worry about testing their computers on World IPv6 Day.

We will be communicating with each of our broadband users once we begin our transition to IPv6 to ensure they understand what, if any, steps they may need to take.  But testing your computer on June 8 isn’t lasix to buy necessary.

I’m wondering what exactly they’ll do on a technical level, because it seems ISPs will follow suit with “simple” changeovers as to prevent cus MoneyGram ANGOLA agent location tomer stress. Will we still use IPv4 addresses at the home level, tunnel into the ISP network wrapped around IPv6, then access the Internet

? Would this process slow cus tomers down or add complexity Brand levitra

When Snow Leopard was released, most of the changes were under the hood.

Secondly, we have iOS 5.0, the mobile operating system for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

The biggest features highlighted in the keynote were notifications, iMessages, Newsst and, Reminders, SWIFT Codes for all Banks in Kazakhstan and PC free setup and syncing. Apple has also integrated Twitter and enhanced the camera, photo editing, Calendars, Mail, and Safari capabilities. So most of the features are application specific, but keep in mind these are the most popular applications for iOS users.

I think the most notable feature is the PC free capability all iOS 5 enabled devices will have.

You no longer need to plug your device into iTunes to get started, nor do you have to update using a sync cable.

You will receive iOS updates over the air and they only include the changes, no longer will you have to wait on a 600 MB+ iOS update! Even better is the wireless sync, which allows all your devices to sync with iTunes and backup over Wi-Fi.

as both iPad and iPad 2.

siest way to manage your content. Because now you don’t have to.” - From Apple’s site. This was the biggest anticipation among Apple consumers and journalists.

iCloud is designed to keep all your devices and computers synced without the headache of cables and iTunes drama. In conjunction with the capabilities of iOS 5 and iCloud, you ultimately never need a computer and you can use your devices anywhere in the world.

t.

MobileMe has been removed from Apple’s services and iCloud is now the replacement, built from

the ground up to work with the cloud.

As a hardware company, it’s important for Apple to offer the best software that takes advantage of all their devices and cloud services as to compete with Google and Amazon.
