Protect Yourself From PC Security Pitfalls

Protect Yourself From PC Security Pitfalls

Viruses, spyware, and worms. Oh, my!
We all know the dangers inherent in accessing the Internet, and we all take precautions. Yet our PCs still occasionally get infected because we can't know everything.
Here I'll show you how to rid your PC of nefarious, spyware-infected programs, explain why you sometimes receive strange e-mail from your own address, and teach you how to stay safe on unsecured public wireless networks.

How Do I Get Rid of a Spyware-Carrying Program That Won't Uninstall?
--Zehraa, Answer Line Forum

The uninstaller that comes with a malicious program isn't likely to do much good. Still, you might try running it with Revo Uninstaller, a freebie that runs an application's own uninstall function, and then scans the hard drive and Registry for leftovers (there are usually some). I'm not sure how effective it will be against a malicious program, but it's certainly worth a try.

If that doesn't work, try to manually delete the program file or folder. And if Windows won't let you do that, try Cedrick Collomb's free Unlocker. Once installed, Unlocker comes up automatically when Windows refuses to delete, move, or rename a file or folder, or you can launch it from the file or folder's context menu. Also, once it's up, it shows you what processes are hanging onto the culprit and lets you kill them. (My thanks to Mphenterprises of the Answer Line Forum for recommending Unlocker.)
You can also try Windows' System Restore:
In Windows XP, select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore; choose Restore my computer to an earlier time; and then click Next. Pick the earliest Restore Point available, and follow the prompts.
In Vista, click Start, type rstrui, and press Enter; select Choose a different restore point, click Next, and check Show restore points older than 5 days. Click Next. Pick the earliest Restore Point available, and follow the prompts.
If that doesn't work, try running System Restore in Safe Mode: Reboot your PC and press F8 just before Windows loads (you may need to try a few times to get the timing right). At the resulting menu, select Safe Mode with Command Prompt and pick your operating system. At the command prompt, type C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui (just rstrui in Vista), press Enter, and try running System Restore from there.
Another option: Since you have a name for the program you can't remove, you might be able to find removal instructions via your favorite search engine. Add the word remove to your search string, and avoid any link from the company that makes the program or any site that seems to have a positive opinion of it.
Still can't get rid of the vicious thug? Try HiJackThis, a free utility now from TrendMicro. HiJackThis creates a very technical report on your system's suspicious Windows behavior. You probably won't be able to make heads or tails of it, but there are plenty of Internet forums where friendly people can help you decipher HiJackThis reports and recommend a course of action. Go to Trend Micro's Analyzing your HijackThis Log page for links to many of these forums.
If nothing else works, reformatting your hard drive is the last desperate measure to take. But back up your data first. In fact, if you already have a full backup of your data (as you should), make an extra backup, anyway. The more, the safer.
I can't tell you exactly how to reformat your hard drive and reinstall Windows, because that depends on whether you have a good backup of the operating system made before the infection, what kind of recovery capabilities came with your PC, and if you have a genuine Windows XP or Vista disc.If you have a good system backup made with an imaging program like Ghost and True Image, restoring that is much easier than reinstalling everything.
The next best option is an actual Windows disc. Pick the option that erases everything on the drive before installing Windows. It's safer.
Otherwise you'll have to use what recovery features came with your computer. In most cases, this will return the hard drive to its factory condition. Then you'll have to remove the programs you don't want.
However you do it, once Windows is working, you'll need to install your security software and your applications, update everything, and then restore your data from the backup.

Why Am I Sending Myself Spam?
annB, Answer Line Forum
You're almost certainly doing no such thing. I once received the same spam message from a friend and from myself. I sent out a notice to people who knew both of us, and sure enough, a third party had the infection.
Most spam is sent from infected PCs, but the malware tries to hide the identity of the infected computer. To that end, it spoofs (forges) the Sender address.
A little more detail: The malware searches the infected PC's hard drive for e-mail addresses and sends spam out to them. But it also uses some of these addresses for spoofing purposes. So if you get spam from yourself, that means someone with your e-mail address has an infected computer.
What can you do about it? Not much. But if only a few people have your e-mail address, you might try letting them know about the problem. One of them has an infected PC.
And if someone complains that you're sending them spam, send them a link to this article.

The cucumber seller of Chennai
At peace with himself and with the world rushing past, this man was dressed in
poverty. But in his presence, it was I who felt poor

On a hot July day, my colleague Moses and I were trying
to locate our car on Chennai’s Nungambakkam High
Road in front of Nalli Silks when I saw a roadside cart
laden with cucumbers. The seller was vacantly gazing at
passersby. Clad in a white shirt and a dhoti worn in the
traditional Chennai style, he had long hair and an
unkempt beard. I did not know Tamil, and asked Moses to
find out the price. One rupee apiece, came the reply.
We wanted one piece each. The cucumber seller began
deftly slicing them to put salt and the delectable red chilly
powder on the neat halves. As we bit into the cucumber, I
asked Moses to tell him that his pricing was too low, and
that he should raise it. Moses conveyed this. The seller
shook his head, and replied that “customer satisfaction” is
more important than extra profit. The words ‘customer
satisfaction’ were in English. I gulped my patronising
comment. At this time, Moses excused himself to find our
car. After a few moments, the seller asked me in English
where I was from. From Bangalore, I replied. What follows
here is our conversation. His statements are highlighted.
Isn’t the Karnataka budget due to be presented tomorrow? Yes, that is true. Living in Karnataka, it was easy for me to concur on this.
I wonder how the governments of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu will ever solve the watersharing problem. Man cannot solve this problem. It has to be God. After all, it is an issue of how much rain is going to fall! I nodded. I was not sure if I had a view at all. See the way the monsoon is progressing. It does not look good. The progress of the rains is leaving a ‘V’ of a dry patch as the clouds move north. Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and the states up north will have problems. Politicians are the ones who use such problems to create a divide among people. They always do it. They use water, religion, anything they can, to create a divide. Look at the way Amarinder Singh of Punjab is taking a stand. I looked at him,
in part admiration and part disbelief.
You’re from Bangalore. Things are going well for you folks. But I don’t understand how people with shady business interests can become representatives of public opinion there. It was part complaint and part observation.
At this point, a fellow peddler arrived — helped himself to some of the cucumber, and the two had a quick conversation on some issue I did not understand. After the other person left, I asked him if selling cucumber was his full-time vocation. He told me that right now it was. Earlier, he sold lottery tickets, the trading of which has since been banned. As a result he had to switch his business to
selling cucumbers on the wheeled cart. No complaints and no issues. Meaning to engage him further, I asked him his religion. This drew an instant look of disappointment from him: “Sir, I am an Indian. That is my religion. In my eyes, all people are equal, and it does not matter to me at all.”

The clarity of his response and his conviction took me completely by surprise. His net worth was probably equal to his day’s turnover. The newspaper and magazines he reads, to keep abreast of things, wipe off the disposable income he generates. Bare feet on this busy, dusty road, he sold a low-value, perishable product from a rickety cart. At peace with himself and with the world rushing past, this man was dressed in poverty. But in his presence, it was I who felt poor.
We are not complete if we are not connected. It is only when we are connected that things make sense. Only when things make sense, we can form an opinion. Standing there, I wondered how many in the corporate world know who the chief minister of Punjab is, and about the progress of the monsoon! How many have an informed view on river water politics and budget proceedings of another state.
Soon, Moses appeared with our car. It was time for me to go. I shook hands with the nameless cucumber seller of Chennai. Actually, I wanted to touch his feet.
