FORMAT A DRIVE

   Formatting a hard drive removes viruses and Trojans,and resolves other storage and hard-to-solve issues.However,ensure that you back up your important data,as the formatting process will wipe out all the data on the drive.The procedure to format the Hard drive depends on whether you want to format the secondary hard drive,or the primary hard drive and install on operating system on it.Using third party software ,i.e. tools other than the Windows system management tool,you may be able to format only secondary drives.The format which such applications offer is either a low-level format or a permanent erase.

I LOVE YOU VIRUS

    Kind attention please!!This is to make you notice about a virus namely I LOVE YOU.Sounds good but it works so badly.If our computer is in the attack of this virus we will be having a tough time.

CREATORS OF VIRUS

If you receive email with a subject line with the phrase ILOVEYOU (all one word, no spaces) in it� DON'T OPEN the attachment named Love-Letter-For-You.txt.vbs.
Over a five-hour period, during May 4, 2000, this virus spread across Asia, Europe and the United States via e-mail messages titled "ILOVEYOU." The menace clogged Web servers, overwrote personal files and caused corporate IT managers to shut down e-mail systems.
A scan of the Visual Basic code included in the attachment reveals that the virus may be corrupting MP3 and JPEG files on users' hard drives, as well as mIRC, a version of Internet Relay Chat. It also appears to reset the default start page for Internet Explorer.
This virus arrives as e-mail with the subject line "I Love You" and an attachment named "Love-Letter-For-You.txt.vbs." Opening the attachment infects your computer. The infection first scans your PC's memory for passwords, which are sent back to the virus's creator (a Web site in the Philippines which has since been shut down). The infection then replicates itself to everyone in your Outlook address book. Finally, the infection corrupts files ending with .vbs, .vbe, .js, .css, .wsh, .sct, .hta, .jpg, .jpeg, .mp2, .mp3 by overwriting them with a copy of itself.
You can get this bug in only one way. If you receive an email with an attachment with the name Love-Letter-For-You.txt.vbs and you execute it, by double clicking on the attachment, you will get infected. Don't execute it, just delete it and you will be fine. 
So be consious on Valentines day.You will be have a lot of love letters in your mail box.But think about this!!!!!!

HOW TO SAVE BATTERY CHARGE OF A MOBILE ??

          OOH! Its really exhausting.The battery is off(no charge).These are the commonly used sentences while the battery of our set is in short of charge. Sometimes the battery charge goes while we are in need of using it.It is really absurd.So we must save the battery charge for the future else at time of need we will not be able to use it.The new mobiles arriving at markets have a long lasting battery if we minimize the use.The modern battery made of lithium and iron can remain for days in stand by mode.
So how to save battery charge??Here are some tips and tricks!!!!!!!

• TURN OFF THE 3G

Today the most popular facility is 3G.It increases the speed of browsing.So the latest mobiles have got these facilities.So while we are not using 3G we can turn off it.3G uses more charge and so we can use GPRS and EDGE systems for browsing.

• TURN OFF WIRELESS CONNECTION

If WI-FI is not using at time it is better to turn off.WI-FI utilizes more charge

• DON'T SWITCH ON VIBRATING MODE

Vibrating mode is a good facility.If we are in a library or in a conference or at prayer time we can switch on the vibrating mode.But vibrating mode needs so much charge.So when we are out of such situations turn off vibrating mode.Then also we can also decrease the volume of the ringtone.

• DECREASE THE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS

Screen brightness increases our passion towards mobile.But it needs a high charge,so we can decrease the brightness to a limit at which we can see the things at an instant.

• TURN OFF SCREEN SAVER

Live screen is so beautiful to see,means animated wallpapers,screen savers.But we are not thinking of the charge it needs.So it is better to use simple wallpapers.

• REMOVE UNWANTED APPLICATIONS

It is better to remove unwanted and unused applications.If we are running an application and closing it by using end key,it will not be closed.It will be running in the background.In order to close it we must press the menu key for a while,then we can close such applications.

• REDUCE GAMING

Gaming too needs high battery charge.Also by playing games the screen will become dim and sometimes we cannot close it.Hearing music too needs high battery charge.

• NETWORK COVERAGE

Use your mobile while there is network coverage else it may leads to loss of battery charge.

If these steps are followed you can minimize the loss of battery charge to a great extent.

WHAT IS C++?????????

All of us may have heard about C++.It is one of the high level language in computer language.For the beginners it will be so tough but as time passes it will be the easiest.So here iam giving all the beginners of C++ a rough idea about it.

As the image indicate it is so hot and imbibing it in your brain takes a long process.
C++ is an english like language,so all the programmers can understand the language when read.So called as high level language(HLL).It is pronounced as C plus plus.It was developed in the bell laboratories of AT&T in the early 1980s by Bjarne strouustrup.It is quite a successor of C language and contains some of the features of Simula67 which was the favourite language of Bjarne.

THE BASICS

1)When you are studying a language the first is to study the alphabets in that language.Like that C++ also have alphabets.This alphabets are collectively known as CHARACTER SET.The characters in this set are only recognised by the language.
Character set is divided into 5 types
They are

• Letters:A to Z,a to z
• Digits:0 to 9
• Special characters:+,-,*,/,^,(),{},[],=,!,<>,.,`," etc
• White spaces:Space bar,horizontal tab,carriage return.
• Other characters:Non-Graphic symbols and ASCII characters.

2)Tokens:When studying languages like english,chinese,french we used study words after studying alphabets.Like that C++ also has got words which is called Tokens.Tokens are the smallest indivitual unit in C++.
Tokens are divided into 5

• keywords
• identifiers
• literals
• punctuators
• operators

These are the basic of C++.
C++ is written in Turbo C++.

For downloading turbo C++
visit
All the C++ program starts with header files;for example #include<iostream.h>

BROWSER SECURITY

  The web browser is your portal to the big bad world that is the internet.It's also the easiest way a hacker,spammer,or phisher can attack your computer.An unsecure browser therefore means that the door is open for those with malicious intent to get into your computer,all guns blazing.
    Part of the problem is that some websites have content that can only be viewed if you install additional software,which puts your computer at further risk of attack.But before we go into how you can effectively secure your browser,let's take a look at what features hackers are looking to exploit

                                  
.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BROWSER
   Why you need to know what you're doing with your browser is that you could inadvertently install a feature that makes it less secure.
         Here's look at the common features that web browsers have to view content on the internet.These are common across almost all browsers.

• ACTIVEX:A technology used by microsoft IE.It allows different applications,or parts of applications,that you have installed on your computer to be accessed by your browser to display content.These applications may already be in your computer,or they may have to be downloaded.This is where the security threat comes in,because if the ActiveX controls aren't properly implemented,your computer will become seriously vulnerable.
• JAVA:A language used to develop content for,among other things,websites.Content in this case is interactive,wherein there is usually some input from the user.The java Virtual Machine is used to view Java applet on sites.If you have come across java content and it played in your browser,you have the JVM installed.
• ACTIVE CONTENT:This is generally enabled by plugins installed on your browser to view interactive or dynamic content such as videos and animations.An example is the Macromedia Flash plugin,which allows you to watch Flash animations.
• JAVASCRIPT:A language used to develop active content for websites.For example,Javascript programs certain images on Webpages to change into other images as the mouse cursor is moved over them.

• COOKIES:Text files on your computer that store data used by Websites.Cookies can contain any form of information that the Websites have designed for them.

    YOU'RE NOW READY TO GET YOUR BROWSER SECURE.

BLUETOOTH HACKING

Bluetooth is great..You can snap pictures,take video clips with your camera phone,transfer it to your laptop,or beam across to a friend's mobile.However,if you do not secure Bluetooth access on your phone,it is easily "discoverable" by other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity.A person with a Bluetooth enabled device can send you unsolicited messages,transfer viruses and worms to your phone,or even gain access and steal your personal data and/or corrupt it.An experienced Bluetooth hacker can gain access to your mobile phone calls,send expensive international SMS messages,write entries into your phonebook,eavesdrop on your conversations,and even gain access to the internet.
    Bluetooth criminals are known to roam neighbourhoods with powerful Bluuetooth detectors that search for Bluetooth detectors that search for Bluetooth enabled cell phones,PDAs,and laptops.They are known to fit laptops with powerful antennas that can pick up Bluetooth devices from with-in a range of 800 metres!!The latest tactic is to force Bluetooth devices in hidden mode to pair with the attacker's device.This,however,is very labour-intensive,and is most often used against known targets who have large bank accounts or expensive secrets.

    
   

HOW IT WORKS

  Almost all cases of bluetooth attacks are a result of improper setup of the bluetooth device.In most cases,Bluetooth devices are configured at security level 1,where there is no encryption or authentication.This enables the attacker to request information from the device that will be helpful in stealing it.

    Once stolen,not only is the data on the device compromised,it will also compromise the data on all devices trusted by it.This can then be used to eavesdrop on conversations between other devices.

        Additionally,bluetooth uses the service discovery protocol(SPD)to determine what services are offered by what devices in range.Attackers can use this information to launch service-specific attacks on any of the devices.

  If the attacker is able to obtain the link keys and the addressing of two communicating devices,he can launch a man-in-the-middle type of attack where all information is routed through the attcker's device.

   Attackers can also eavesdrop on devices that are pairing up for the first time.This will give the attacker sufficient information to use algorithm to guess the security key and pretend to be the other device.

      

AVOIDING IT

  Securing your Bluetooth phone is easy.Take these few simple steps to ensure that your device is protected from Bluetooth attacks.

1.  Switch off the Bluetooth when not using it.This will prevent unauthorised access for the most part.Only enable Bluetooth when you are actively transferring data from or to another device.
2. Use a strong PIN code,one that is at least six to eight digits or longer.
3. Many devices offer tons of features to maximise the usability of your Bluetooth connections.Review the documentation and disable all that are a security risk,and pay special attention to the security settings.Use encryption by default and only disable it if the device you are communicating with doesn't support it.
4. Ensure that bluetooth is running in hidden mode.When you are pairing it with another device,like a headset,you will need to run it in discoverable mode.Do this in a secure location like inside your office or home.Once the link has been established,go back to hidden mode.If for some reason the pairing breaks when in a public place,wait till you are in a secure location before re-pairing the two devices.

      5.Be aware of where you are.If you are in an open,public place,it is best to disable bluetooth.Public  place,it is best to disable bluetooth.Public wireless hotspots are a favourite hangout of"bluejackers".

KEEPING PASSWORDS SAFE

  Some of  us just remember our passwords ,even if they're as ridiculously uncrackable as "gb65endox",and even if  there are many of them to remember.Some of  us are naive enough to use passwords like "azsxdc", and have trouble remembering even  those! If you fall in the second category, forget it-someone's going to steal your data soon enough.No,seriously,what one needs is good, strong passwords,and password management software to keep them safe.
                                          A "strong" password is one that has a sufficient number of  characters-some say  anything over eight will do-and a mix of lower-case,upper-case,and special characters.On top of that,there's the issue of multiple passwords:if you set the same password for everything,there could be a problem.What if your Windows XP and your Gmail password are the same,and a friend of yours want to access your machine?
And then what if you gave him the password to your machine,and he went ahead and tried it on your gmail account as well?Multiple passwords are,therefore,important.And it's tough to remember multiple strong passwords-and that's where password management software come in,like we said.
   These are again a dime a dozen but they're not all bad.Again,i'am making no recommendations,and are just providing an example:for $19095 you can purchase TK8 safe,a relatively simple software,from
   WEBSITE
  With TK8,you can keep all usernames,passwords,secret notes and serial numbers in one secured database file.The file is,naturally.encrypted.
   You can use folders in your files to group information.In addition,you can log into password-protected Webpages automatically,The password file can be locked,and even if you forget to lock the file,the program does this automatically after it's inused for some time

Advanced options include multi-user support,additional  encryption methods,and automatic password backups.You can run the program directly fro removable media like USB stricks.This means you can literally carry all your passwords in your pocket.
                                                         Now, we didn't intend this to be an ad for TKS;our intention here is to tell you all that a password manager can do for you.More advanced software simply have more frills.

WHAT'S FISHY ABOUT PHISHING???????

Back to your inbox:"get a replica Rolex cheap ."As you scroll through one after the other ridiculous offer,your catches something different.
   "Before i start,i must first apologise for this unsolicited mail to you......My US client,his wife and children were involved in a ghastly motor accident on such-and-such road in Nigeria....My reason for contacting you is to repatriate my client's money back to his home country.We need to transfer money into your bank account..."The mail goes on to explain how there are millions of dollars that this chap needs to transfer to your bank account and how to do this he'll need your account details.You will,of course,be rewarded handsomely for your services.
  Identify theft has figured as a criminal activity since time immemorial.clever thieves have always found that the best way to avoid being caught is to disguise themselves as someone else.and while they are impersonating.No one needs to be told how valuable one's credit card and bank account details are.But with more and more people using the internet for online transactions,there is a lot of personal information being shared with a host of companies.Spammers have found an effective way to cash in on this confidence to disclose one's personal information to legitimate sources-PHISHING
       Phishing is essentially a clever and illegal method used by"phishers"to extract personal information about internet users.This personal information may be in terms of credit card numbers,bank account details,passwords,and such.
   What phishers use is a technique called social engineering.basically,this means phishers know that people trust the word of someone who seems trustworthy.a phisher is thus able to gain the confidence of an individual by posing as someone from a seemingly trustworthy source.then,the phisher makes the person disclose personal information about himself,and then uses it to his benefit.
         However,phishers don't have to be that straightforward and in-your-face to gain the confidence of unsuspecting individuals.many phishers pose as a administrators of websites and request users to send in their passwords.other pose as bank executives and ask for your credit card details so you can reactivate your account,or something of that nature.
    A good example of phishing in recent times has been the paypal phishers.paypal(now under ebay)is an online transaction system.phishers have posted as paypal executives and requested people to disclose vital bank information.
