How to restore icons and start menu after virus removal


Have you ever noticed that after you do a virus removal your icons and start menu are still empty? Don't fear because most of the time this can be resolved with a little copy and paste.

First off you want to be able to see the hidden files.

To do this in XP: Open up My Computer and go to Tools tab and select Folder Options.

In the window that appears select View tab and choose the option Show hidden files and folders. Click Apply and OK.

For Windows Vista/7: Open My Computer, go to Organize tab and select Folder and search options.

In the window that appeared select View tab and choose the option Show hidden files, folders, and drives. Click Apply and OK.



Now that we can see hidden files, what we want to do is open a folder called smtmp and copy the contents of the sub-directories to their proper place. This folder will be in your temp directory. This can either be found by entering %temp% in the search bar on windows 7/vista or the run box in XP. The default location for the temp folder is:

Win 95/98/me: C:\Windows\Temp
Windows XP/2000: C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Current User\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp
Windows Vista / 7: C:\Users\Current User\AppData\Local\Temp

In the temp directory under the folder SMTMP there will be up to 4 sub folders numbered 1 - 4. All you have to do is copy the contents of these folders to their proper place. The proper copy locations are:

%Temp%\smtmp\1:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

%Temp%\smtmp\2\:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\

%Temp%\smtmp\3\:
Windows XP: It does not exist in XP. So, do not worry if you don’t find %Temp%\smtmp\3 on Windows XP.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

%Temp%\smtmp\4\:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\Public\Desktop


After copying these files you should restart the machine, and you will now have your start menu items and desktop icons back. If you still cannot see your desktop icons, you should unhide that directory by right clicking it in my computer and clicking properties. Take the check out of the Hidden box.

How to Block your Stolen Mobile Phone (Pakistan only)

To block your mobile phone call at

>021-5682222, 6583334 to CPLC (Citizen Police Liaison Committee)

or
Police 15,

Best One you can also

call directly to PTA at the following number 0800-25625.


They will get some basic info and the IMEI number of your

lost mobile set. They will register IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
of your cell phone and will request all the mobile operators to block this IMEI on
their networks.

You can also fax your complaint to CPLC at 021-5683336 or can

send an email to PTA at imei@pta.gov.pk or visit the site which is www.cplc.org.pk

IMEI is a number which is unique to every GSM mobile phone. It is usually found
printed on or underneath the phone’s battery and warranty card. IMEI of any set
can also be found by dialing the sequence *#06# into the phone. The IMEI number
is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used to
stop a stolen phone from accessing the network. For example, if a mobile phone is
stolen, the owner can call his/her network provider and instruct them to “block” the
phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless, regardless of whether
the phone’s SIM is changed.

[Tut] Ultimate Guide To Protect Youself




The Ultimate Guide To Protect Youself


Here is a very detailed Guide to stay protected from any kind of malware like Trojans or Malicious files. Enjoy Reading

The basic idea is to have a good army of ANTI's to protect yourself. You will need the following tools:-
1) Anti-Virus :- Run an Anti-Virus no matter how powerful your system is. Even free ones would do. Below is the list of free topline Anti-Virus.
•Avira Antivirus Personal
•Avast
•Panda Cloud


2) Anti-Malware :- There are two recommendation that i would give. Both of them are free, do a great job and both run on your demand.
•MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
•Super AntiSpyware


3) Host Intrusion Prevention System:- This is also known as HIPS. It can Prevent you from unwanted intrusions like telnet acess etc. My personal recommendation is
•Win Patrol


4) Firewall:- Dont forget to run Windows Firewall. If its setup correctly it can block most unwanted intrusions. And you could also run free firewalls out there. Some of the most used ones include
•Comodo Firewall
•Sunbelt Firewall


5) Key Scrambler:- Use some free key scramblers to protect yourself from keylogging. And most importantly use a virtual keyboard while typing in passwords of bank logins, paypal login etc.
Some of the free ones are:-
•KeyScrambler Personal 2.6


6) Browser Selection:- Internet browsers are personal choice. No matter whatever browser you use, never save any password.
If you want to save passwords, then use the following method:-
•Download Mozilla Firefox and install it.
•Open Firefox ----> Tools ----> Options -----> Security Tab.
•Tick "Remember password for sites" and "Use a master password".
•Type in a master password.


Now each time you goto a login page where the password is saved, it will first ask for the master password, hence protecting your password from stealers.

7) Sandboxie :- Use Sandboxie if you are a heavy downloader. What sandboxie does is understood from the picture below:


8) Use VmWare to run unkown softwares. It is similar to sandboxie.

9) Never save any password on IM clients like MSN, Yahoo, Skype etc.

10) Never save passwords on ftp clients like filezilla, smart ftp etc.

11) Never download any softwares which says poker chips creator, free paypal money adder etc. Never believe in such softwares which dont exist. Its all fake softwares which are binded probably with a bot.

12) Never visit links which you are not sure.

13) Never accept pictures sent through IM clients where the sender in unkown.

14) Finally make sure all your windows, anti-virus, anti-malware definitions are upto date.

Windows 7 Blue Screen Problems and How To Fix This Error

The blue screen error — also known as Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) — is pretty common on all versions of Windows, be it the oldest or even the newest one. This error can get really annoying. It can even block users from logging onto their Windows operating system. As a result, the system is seemingly impossible to use at all. But what PC users should keep in mind is that they are not the only people to experience this particular problem. As mentioned earlier, it has been pretty common and, fortunately, people have found out some workaround methods that may prove to be quite effective in solving the BSOD.


BSOD Triggers

However, it is important to understand what may have triggered the BSOD. Most of the time, BSOD can be triggered by a recent change in either the computer’s hardware or software. For example, a newly installed hardware will most likely need proper driver files in order to work properly. Although it is true that the drivers are normally provided with the hardware, there are times when the driver files may happen to be corrupted. Another possibility is that one or more of the applications or software installed on the system encounters conflicts. Also, taking into accounts that drivers are software as well, they may just as well trigger the conflicts.

Yet, if the problem is not on the software, chances are there is something wrong with the hardware. It may have been damaged or installed improperly. In this case, it is always a good idea to try using the hardware in question on another computer to see if it works.

How to Solve BSOD

There are several ways that may well solve the blue screen error. The first way is to uninstall the drivers and try to install the latest drivers from the website of the hardware vendor. Secondly, it is worth trying to uninstall the device using the Device Manager utility. Last but not least, System Restore utility built into Windows may also be pretty helpful.

However, some people may wonder how they can run all these utilities if they cannot even log onto Windows. Well, the Safe Mode provided with each version of Windows is normally the answer to this. When the computer is trying to boot after passing the self diagnosis process, constantly hitting the F8 key will usually display a list of advanced Windows options, one of which is the Safe Mode. Choosing it will enable users to log onto the system yet with limited capabilities. However, it is enough to solve the BSOD.




So, at this stage, it is possible to use any of the 3 possible methods mentioned earlier. The first is to uninstall the drivers. Yet, one thing that is important to keep in mind that Windows tends to leave junks behind after some things are uninstalled. Therefore, it may be necessary to launch the Registry Cleaners to clean up the rest of the troublesome drivers. Manual registry edition is not advisable for newbies because Windows Registry it`s such delicate thing that, you can easily damage Windows functionality if you’re not know what are you doing!





The second method is to uninstall the device using Device Management utility. This utility can be launched by typing “devmgmt.msc” in the command line. Once the utility window shows up, simply right click on the troublesome device and choose Uninstall.

Lastly, there is System Restore. However, this method won’t be useful unless this feature is kept active all the time. Some advanced PC users may disable it to save spaces and processing time of applications. System Restore can be accessed by clicking the Start button and then choosing Programs followed by Accessories and System Tools. Users simply need to choose a date before they install the new conflicting hardware or software and Windows will revert everything to that date. As a result, the operating system should now be working normally again.

1. Go to Start → Programs → Accessories → System Tools → System Restore
