Your Questions About Download Old Movies Songs

Nagesh answers:

Just some of the ways to get one’s computer infected with malware:

Opening infected e-mail attachments. Never open an attachment unless you expect it from the sender. E-Mail addresses can be “spoofed”; the sender may not be who it says it is.

………………………….

Clicking infected links in instant messengers especially incoming off-line messages. As in e-mail the sender may not be who you think it is. Never click anything with an .exe extension on it.

……………………………………..

Not keeping your OS updated and patched. Windows has more security holes then a pound of Swiss cheese. Microsoft is constantly plugging these holes with updates. Hell, if one doesn’t want to use the Windows automatic updates, just tape a memo on your monitor reminding you to update Windows the next second Tuesday of the month. New Windows updates are released like clockwork, every month, second Tuesday.

……………………………….

Using Limewire or other P2P programs to download (steal) music, software and movies etc. Without paying for it. Many downloads using P2P file-sharing programs are loaded with malware. You will be downloading “stuff” from unknown stranger’s computers while they will be uploading from your computer at the same time. You do not download from any website.

It is amazing that people who would never accept and eat a sandwich from a stranger, don’t think twice about downloading a file to their PC from a perfect stranger, who lives half-way around the World!

If you don’t know the difference between a .wmp (good) file from a .wmf (potentially very bad) file, then stay away from Limewire, Kazaa,and all P2P programs. The same is true if you don’t know the difference between a song that is 25kb in size from one that is 3 mb in size. The smaller one is probably a Trojan, just waiting for you to infect your computer with.

P2P file-sharing is no place for computer novices. Even experienced expert users get infected using P2P at times.

If you must use P2P, always scan every file you download with your anti-virus and your anti-spyware before you open it.

…………………………………….

Resist advertising with the word free in it! Free screen-saver…Free smilies… Free movie download… Free emoticons… Free MP3…Free music lyrics…Free avatars…Free weather in your tray…Free I-Pod… Free this…Free that…etc. If people would only stop and ask themselves one simple question before they click on anything. That ??? Is ” Why would anyone pay to advertise anything that is being given away free?”

All this free “stuff” often comes bundled with spyware, it is how they can provide it free and still make a profit. They get a commission for each piece of spyware installed.

Search Engines are a major contributor to this problem. Disguising paid advertising on the top and down the right side as “Sponsored Links”. These are often the biggest offenders. Just ask any 12 year old what a sponsored link is and(s)he is gonna go “Huh”, then proceeds to click a link and agrees to download something that (s)he knows nothing about just to get the lyrics to the latest Britney Spears song for free. BINGO, crapware just installed! These malwares are so often targeted to kids, just hopeing that they will in their naive-ness, unknowingly install this junk on their parents comp.

Don’t get me wrong. They is plenty of good, safe, malware free software out there. (All my software is free, except for Windows). But it is either software made by propeller-heads (computer hobbyists) or large corporations that will give you a stripped down version of their paid product in the hope that you will like it so much that you will eventually buy the full version.

……………….

Disabling a firewall, in order to make a game or some program work,it is a major no-no. Your computer can be attacked or infected with worms and viruses in minutes!

Learn how to properly configure your firewall, but never disable it, even for a minute. A firewall is there for a very good reason: to protect you from hackers!

………………………….

Malicious websites don’t usually look malicious. For example, MySpace appears innocent enough, but it one of the worst offenders.

MySpace is attractive to malious computer attackers and hackers because many of its users are children, who are naive about computers and have little knowledge of computer security.

……………………

There are many more ways to get infected, but my fingers are tired and my belly is growling for food now.

That being said, I do not believe that your mobo (hardware) was damaged by registry issues (software).

Good luck.

The problem with SOPA, is it will go one step further than going after illegal movie, music and vidoe game downloads. Site like facebook could be taken down and you know how youtube has a ton of fanmade videos of their favorite tv shows, you can say goodbye to those.

Anyone that’s just an average blogger who reviews video game and shows clips. (and they’re doing it just for kicks. They get no money for it) You can say goodbye to those too.

Oh and you know how some people on yotube post videos of them singing Beatle Songs or whatever. That would fall under SOPA, so those videos would be taken down. Basicly it would kill youtube and many of the social media sites.

And this whole process could very well destroy the mainframe of the internet.

And one of the bigger problems is the guys voting on this are a bunch of old guys who have no idea how the internet works. They don’t even understand their own bill or how the whole outcome will effect the future of the internet.

When you delete files the pointer to the file is deleted. The file itself is not erased and in most cases can be easily recovered.

To see what files can be recovered run one of the following programs:

Drive Discovery 2.34 (free for 30 days)
http://www.download.com/Drive-Discovery/3004-2248_4-10641143.html?tag=tab_scr
Analyze the hard disk to see what files and data can be
recovered, see inside deleted files and view deleted images.
You can choose to either recover the file or overwrite the file to make it not recoverable.

Restoration
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,23108-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html
Recover deleted files–or delete them for good–with this small program.
—————————————-
To delete files and your browsing history permanently you need to overwrite the file data.

Install CCleaner: Do not install toolbar and recycle bin options
http://www.ccleaner.com/
Empties recycle bin, removes tracking information from all browsers, toolbars, movie players. Etc.,
In options:
-Set to run when the computer starts
-Choose secure file deletion (if you do not want the files to be able to be recovered)
– Uncheck if needed “only delete Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours”
-Place cookies you want to keep in the save list.

Does he have an ipod or other music player? You could buy him some songs or get him a gift card for some music downloads or audiobooks. If he’s in a wheelchair you could get him something fun to customize it (bumper sticker, rearview mirror, racing stripes). Tickets to an event you’d both enjoy (concert, movie, ball game), any theatre or arena should be accessible for him to attend. Sounds like he already has fun with you, and the fact that you are mature enough to see him and not his disability is probably the best gift of all. Good luck.
