Recover the Virus Infected Files In Pendrive Without Any Software

Now a days we are using USB Pen Drives to store the files and other important things. But the most terrible thing is that the VIRUS. Why this VIRUS accomodate the files? The main reason is using the USB Pendrives in many computers and laptops.

When this VIRUS infects the Pendrives the files inside are hidden and not visible to us. But when we see the capacity of the Pendrives, it shows that either the drive is full or required amout of files are there in it.

So in this case we are usally formatting the Pendrive. So along with the virus the hidden files are also formatted.

Here is the solution to recover the virus infected files in Pendrive without using any Software.

Yes you can. Just follow these steps

• Insert your Pendrive in your PC or Laptop
• Go to Start - Run - cmd  and then click enter
• Now in the command prompt enter the drive which your pendrive is located. Eg. If your Pendrive is located in G: drive enter as G: and then press enter
• Enter the following code with proper space. Better you can copy and paste this code given in red color highlighted below 
• attrib -h -s -r /s /d *.*
• Wait for some Seconds
• Now go back and Check your PenDrive. 
• Your lost files are back

Reset Your Windows 7 Password

You’ve probably landed on this page while looking to find out how to reset Windows 7 Password. 

Whether you’ve simply forgotten your password, or you want to gain unauthorized access to someone’s Windows 7 account, There is really an easy way how to reset Windows 7 password, without having to buy or download any third-party software.

Step 1

In order to do this, you must have a Windows installation CD or DVD.
Any Windows 7, Vista or XP CD or DVD will work.
First you have to boot from the installation CD.
Most PC’s are already set up to use the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device, which means you only have to insert the CD/DVD and restart the PC.
Before Windows begins to load, you will see a message that says “press any key to boot from CD”, just press any key.
However, if your PC is not set up to boot from the CD/DVD first, you will have to set it as your first boot device in the BIOS setup.
If you don’t know how, it’s really easy. Soon as you turn your PC on, you can enter the BIOS setup by pressing the DEL key.
Although you would normally use the DEL key, the key you have to press varies from PC to PC, but it will either be the DEL, F1, F2, ESC, or F10 key.
You have to be quite quick while doing this.
The most sure-fire way of doing it correctly would be to turn your PC on and keep pressing the button until you get the BIOS screen.

Once you’re at the BIOS screen, navigate through the menus looking for something like “1st boot device, 2nd boot device”, or anything related to boot order.
It is different with each PC, but it’s really strait forward.
You should set the first boot device as the CD/DVD drive, and the second as your HDD (Hard Disk Drive). It wont matter what the third or fourth are.

Step 2

How that you’ve booted from the CD, you will have to option to install or repair Windows, click “repair your computer”. You will see various option as shown in the image bellow, click “Command Prompt”.

Step 3

Now that you’re in the command prompt, we are going to use a couple of commands that will allow you to reset Windows 7 Password.

First type copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\
Next type copy /y c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
Now reboot the PC (remember to take the installation disk out)

Step 4

So you’ve restarted your PC and you’re at the login screen.
Press the Shift key 5 times to bring up the command line interface.
Now type net user your_name your_new_password.
For example, if the name of the account you want to reset the password for is called Duncan05 and the password you want to change to is Pass1234, you would type net user Duncan05 Pass1234.

That’s it, you can now login!

Note: The command we used earlier copied over the sethc.exe, replacing it with cmd.exe, which is why we were able to access the command line at the login screen.
However, the first command we used backed up the sethc.exe the hard-disk.
To restore it in Windows, go the Start Menu and type cmd in the search box.
Then in the results, right-click “cmd” and then choose “run as administrator”.
You can the use the command c:\sethc.exe file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe to restore the original sethc.exe file.
Sethc.exe is used to invoke accessibility options through the Shift key.
However, you will not have any issues if you decide not to restore the original file.

Who Links To My Site?

Links to your site can drastically increase your site’s traffic, but how do you find out how many inbound links you have and where they’re coming from?

Here’s How

To answer the question of “who links to my site”, there are a couple of ways to do this.
If you want to see who links to your website in Google or Yahoo, you can type link: before your URL. So for example, I would type link:http://techod.com.
If I wanted to see who links to me in Bing, you would type “techod.com” -site:techod.com

However, there are a couple of tools out there that make it a little bit easier, one of them is called Link Popularity, I recommend that you check them out.

Make Your PC Faster

Overview

This is a tutorial on how to make your PC faster. 

It’s a mixture of options, tweaks and maintenance, some of which are absolutely essential to keeping your operating system at its best. 

It is focused around Windows 7 and Vista but most of it still applies to XP.

Part 1 – Essential Maintenance – General

• Programs & Adware
• Temporary Files
• Defragmenting
• Drivers & Updates

Part 2 – Tips & Tweaks

• Change The Power Plan
• Enable Write Caching
• Disable Indexing
• Disable The Page File
• Disable System Restore
• Enable TRIM (SSDs only)

Part 3 – Optimization & Miscellaneous

• Services & Start-Up Programs
• Disable The Aero Theme
• Disable Unneeded Visual Effects
• TCP/IP
• Better Gaming
• Browsers
• Disable User Account Control (UAC)
• See Your Restart Time

Programs & Adware

The first step in making your PC faster is removing any unused or unwanted programs or adware. 

A lot of you are already doing this, but you’d be surprised at how many people don’t.

In Windows 7, go to the Start menu, then Control Panel, then click Uninstall A Program.
In Windows Vista, click the Start button, then Control Panel, then Programs, and then Programs and Features.
In Windows XP, click the Start Button, then Control Panel, then click Add/Remove Programs.

Temporary Files

Delete old temporary files, I recommend CCleaner. 

If you’re not already using it, you can download it from from your favourite torrent site.

Defragmenting

For the purpose of keeping the tutorial clean I wont go into too much detail about what defragmenting is, but basically it keeps the files that are stored on your hard disk in order, so they can be accessed more quickly. 

If you don’t use an SSD, you should be doing this frequently. 

I’d recommend O&O Defrag Pro, you can get it from your favourite torrent site, or you can buy it from the developers website HERE

Note: I recommend that you don’t have O&O or any other defrag tool starting when Windows start-up. 

When you run O&O Defrag for the first time, you will get the option to schedule scans but just use it manually every now and then.

Drivers & Update

Keeping your drivers up to date can also give minor performance increases, as well as bug fixes, stability improvements and new features. 

An updated graphics card driver for example may deliver a few more FPS in certain games and benchmarks.

It’s better if you can download the latest drivers from manufacturers website yourself, you can use THIS to find out what hardware you have. 

Otherwise, you can use a tool such as Driver Genius or Driver Reviver to download the latest drivers for you.

I personally recommend Driver Genius, it works great, but I’ve read good things about Driver Reviver. You can get Driver Genius or Driver Reviver from thepiratebay.

 

How To Make Your PC Faster – Tips & Tweaks

So now that we’ve covered the first part on how to make your PC faster, we’ll move on to the second part, tips and tricks.

Change The Power Plan

The Power settings in Win7 aren’t automatically set for maximum performance. 

By default the power plan is set for balanced performance and energy consumption, so you might not be geting the optimal performance from Windows. To change the power plan to High Performance Mode, double click Power Options in the Control panel, click the down arrow that shows Additional Plans. 

Now just activate the High Performance plan and that’s it. 

Go for the advanced power settings, go to the Hard Disk, then to ‘Turn off hard disk after..’ and set it to Never. 

This enables the GC to do its job while logged off.

How To Make Your PC Faster With Write-Caching

With write-caching enabled, the storage device determines whether using the cache will save time completing writes. 

If it will, the HDD signals to the computer that the data has been stored even though it may not actually be in the storage device yet. It improves the throughput of storage operations, which are usually a bottleneck for overall system performance.
To enable write caching, go to the Start menu, open the Control Panel, then System and Security, then Device Manager, expand Disk drives, Double click on the listed HDD that you want to enable write caching for. 

Click on the Polices tab. By default, “Enable write caching on the device” is checked under the Write-caching policy section. 

If not, then check it, then check the “Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device” box, Click OK, then click on Yes to restart the computer to apply.

WARNING: Turning off “Windows Write-cache Buffer Flushing on the Device” runs the risk of data loss if there’s a power failure, so make sure you always shut the PC down properly. 

I’ve personally lost power several times with write caching enable and never had any issue, but it’s something you might want to take into consideration.

Disable Indexing

Indexing creates and maintains a database of file attributes, which causes multiple small writes when creating, deleting or modifying files.
Go to the Start menu, right-click Computer, click Manage, go to Services and Applications, then Services, right-click Windows Search, select Properties, change Startup type to Disabled, click Stop, then Apply.

We also need to stop Windows indexing the HDD.
Go to Start menu, then Computer, Right click on the HDD, select Properties, uncheck Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties and Click OK
Once you’ve unchecked indexing, follow the on-screen instructions, you might have to skip some files you do not have access to.

Disable The Page File

The page file is used by Windows to hold temporary data which is swapped in and out of physical memory in order to provide a larger virtual memory set. 

Since the HDD/SSD is a lot slower than physical memory, it obviously causes a slow-down. If you have 4GB of RAM or more, you can disable paging by going to the Start menu, right-click Computer, select Properties, then Advanced System Settings, then Settings (Performance), now go to the advanced Tab, click Change, Uncheck Automatically manage, select No paging file, click Set, then OK/Apply. Restart your computer.

Note: If you run out of memory the program you’re using will crash, this is why I say 4GB of RAM or more. 

It really depends on what you use your PC for though, I’ve disabled the page file on a Win7 machine with 2GB RAM and it’s had no issues at all, even with a lot of things open, like Firefox and Chrome with multiple YouTube tabs playing in each, several Explorer windows, disk defragmenter, Media Player playing, as well several other apps running, simultaneously with no issues at all. Win7 seems to handle memory very well.

If you want to play it safer, you can set a custom size of 200MB min and max.

Enable TRIM (SSDs only)

TRIM is a way to speed up SSD access by performing important housekeeping tasks in the background or on file deletes, rather than leaving it until the system is writing data to the drive

To enable TRIM, go to the Start menu, type cmd in the search-box and press enter. 

In the Command Prompt, type: fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0
To disable TRIM, go to the Command Prompt and type: fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 1
To find out if TRIM is working, go to the Command Prompt and type: fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

DisableDeleteNotify = 1 means TRIM commands are disabled)
DisableDeleteNotify = 0 means TRIM commands are enabled)

RAM Disk

RAMDisk is a program that takes a portion of your system memory and uses it as a disk drive. 

What is the benefit? SPEED! An additional feature of a RAMDisk is that it will never wear out. 

You can access it at maximum bandwidth 24/7 without fear of mechanical failure, or fragmentation (a RAMDisk can become fragmented just like any other disk, but it does not take a performance hit like a physical disk does when it becomes fragmented).

You can download it from HERE

How To Make Your PC Faster – Optimization & Miscellaneous

So we’ve covered the first and second part on how to make your PC faster, lets move on to the third.

Services & Start-Up

It is an unnecessary waste of system resources if you have unneeded programs and services starting up when Windows starts. 

To disable them, type services.msc in the search box of the Start menu and press Enter
Stop any unnecessary programs starting up by right-clicking them, going to Properties then choosing the Startup type.

If you’re not going to be using the service at all, you can set the start-up type as Disabled, otherwise, choose Manual so they can be started as needed. If you’re unsure what any of them are, you can Google the name of the service.

Some Services You Can Disable

Application Experience
Computer Browser (If your PC does not connect to any network)
Desktop Window Manager Session Manager (If you don’t want the aero effects)
Diagnostic Policy Service
Disk Defragmenter
Distributed Link Tracking Client
IP Helper
Offline Files
Portable Device Enumerator Service
Print Spooler (If you do not use Printer)
Protected Storage
Remote Registry (You can safely disable it for more Security)
Secondary Logon
Security Center
Server (If your computer do not connect with any network)
Tablet PC Input Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Windows Defender
Windows Error Reporting Service
Windows Firewall (if you use another firewall)
Windows Media Center Service Launcher
Windows Search (If you rarely use Windows Search feature )
Windows Time (If you do not want to synchronize system time with internet time automatically)

After you’ve disable those services, you can check the Hide All Microsoft Services and disable anything you don’t need. If you’re unsure what any of them are, you can Google their name.

How to make your PC faster – Disable The Aero Theme

Right-click your Desktop and select Personalize, then click the Window Color Tab.
Uncheck the Box called Enable Transparency and then click on Open classic appearance properties for more color options.
A window will then open up. Apply a Standard theme from it.

Disable Unneeded Visual Effects

For this, open the Start  menu, right-click on Computer and select Properties from the right click menu.

Click Advanced System Settings from the left-hand pane to open the System Properties window.
Select the Advanced tab. Then Under Performance, click Settings and then select Custom.
Now untick all the options and select only the last four options, click Apply, then log off and back on.

Better Gaming

If you’re looking to squeeze a couple of extra frames out of your games, download GameBooster.

You can download it from HERE

How to make your PC faster – Browsers

Since the internet browser is one of the most frequently used programs on a PC nowadays, you should choose one that’s right for you, but which one?
Some of the most well-known and best browser are FireFox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer, I’d personally recommend Chrome or FireFox. There’s not too much difference between the two, Chrome is slightly faster out-of-the-box,
TCP/IP

First check that everything is okay with your connection using THIS
If you use a DSL or Cable connection, use this batch script for optimal TCP/IP settings:

Windows 7 users download HERE
Windows Vista users download HERE

If for any reason there’s an issue using those settings, you can use the following batch to revert to your previous settings:
Windows 7 HERE
Windows Vista HERE

Here’s what the script does:

Windows 7:
Code:

@echo off
echo Setting TCP/IP flags…
echo –
echo –
echo This only when running as an administrator,
echo When running as a user, it will only show the current settings.
echo.
pause
echo.
netsh int tcp set global timestamps=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
netsh int tcp set global netdma=enabled
netsh int tcp set global dca=enabled
netsh int tcp set global chimney=automatic
netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp
netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=enabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
pause
cls
echo Current settings:
echo –
netsh int tcp show global
echo Hope you found this useful
pause

Windows Vista:
Code:

@echo off
echo Setting TCP/IP flags – This only works when running as administrator…
echo.
netsh int tcp set global rss=enable
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp
netsh int tcp set global timestamps=disable
netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=enable
netsh int tcp set global chimney=enable
pause
cls
echo Current settings:
echo –
netsh int tcp show global
echo Hope you found this useful
pause

Secure A Wireless Network

Just as you wouldn’t allow strangers to use your gas or electricity, free-loaders should be stopped from accessing your wireless network.
If a complete stranger, or one of your neighbours were able to access your wireless network, they could steal your bandwidth and use up your monthly data allowance, or potentially gain access to your private data. 
In the most extreme cases, your connection could be used by a would-be hacker for more unsavoury things, such as that of Barry Ardolf, who hacked into his neighbours WiFi network and used it to view child porn in an attempt to frame them.

How To Secure A Wireless Network

Before beginning to tell the different things you can do to make your WiFi connection more secure, you should login to your router’s setup or configuration page. 

This is done by typing your router’s IP address into the address bar of your internet browser (ie. Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer). 

The IP address of your router will depend on the type of router you use.
In any case, you can find your router’s IP address by using the command line. 

To do so, go to the start menu and type CMD in the search box if you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, or in the Run box if your are using Windows XP.
You will now see the command line interface. 

Typing ipconfig will display various network related information, your router’s IP address will be listed as Default Gateway.

Next you will see a login box asking for your user name and password. 

If you haven’t changed this, the default username should be admin, and the default password will either be admin or password. 

Your login details may also be printed on the back or underside of your router. 

In the unlikely even of you not being able to access your router’s configuration page, you can contact your internet service provider.

How To Secure A Wireless Network Using Better Encryption

When data is sent between your wireless router and your PC or mobile device, the data is usually encrypted. However, most routers are shipped with either WEP (Wired Protect Access) or no encryption at all. 

WEP makes the novice user think the are safe because they are using a password, but a WEP password can be cracked in as little as a few minutes, and the information to do so can be found all over the internet very easily.

Ideally you should be using WPA2, or WPA if WPA2 isn’t an option, which is unlikely. 

If you see an option for WPA + WP2, you can select this for compatibility.
Due to the differences between different routers, I wont be able to give you specifics as to how you can do this, but you should have no trouble finding the option if you look around the the different areas of your routers advanced configuration or setup page.

Change The Router’s Password

As mentioned above, access points and routers normally use a default password for logging into the setup page. 

Even amateur Hackers know these defaults, so changing the login credentials is a good way to secure a wireless network.

How To Secure A Wireless Network By Disabling SSID broadcast

By default, most wireless devices such as a router or an access point is set to broadcast the SSID (Service Set Identifier), so anyone can easily join the network. Unless you’re running a public hotspot, you should disable SSID broadcast. It’s easy to find this option.

Enable MAC address filtering

As well as changing the encryption type, this is one of the best ways to secure a wireless network. 

The MAC address, or Media Access Control address is a unique address given to network interfaces. 

You can find your PC’s MAC address in the command-line interface by typing ipconfig in CMD, as mentioned above. 

For mobile devices such as the iPhone, you can find the MAC by going to Settings > General > About.

Install Android On Your PC

Download Android For PC

• The first thing that you should do is download the Android operating system. 
• You can get the modified version that you need from the Android x86 website. 
• You’ll notice from the picture below that there’s a few to choose from. 
• If you’re using a laptop or notebook, choose the Asus Laptops/Notebooks ISO. 
• If you’re using a desktop PC, or if the Laptops/Notebooks ISO doesn’t work, download the Asus EEE PC ISO. 
• Once it has finished downloading, put it somewhere that is easy to find.

How To Install Android On PC

The next step is the installation. 

There’s a couple of ways to install Android on PC, the first one is by using a virtual machine called VMware. 

It’s ideal if you just want to try Android on your PC, and it’s quick and easy.
VMware allows you to install and run numerous different operating systems (OS) on top of your current OS without any potential changes to your current OS configuration. 

If you would prefer to install Android permanently on a physical hard drive, USB HDD, or USB Memory Card, you can skip steps 1, 2, and 3, and proceed to the next part.

Step 1:

• First, download VMware Player, then install it the same way as you would with any other software, following the on-screen instructions. 
• Once it’s installed, you will see a welcome screen.
• 
  

Step 2:

• On the welcome screen, click ‘Create New Virtual Machine’, then click the ‘Browse’ button and select the Android ISO file that you downloaded in step 1, as shown in the picture below.
   

Step 3:

• On the following screen, name the VM whatever you want. 
• Click next, then again to use the default disk space. 
• After you click finish, the virtual machine will power on and you’ll see a setup screen the picture below. 
• Choose Install Android-x86 to hard disk.
• 
  

Step 4:

• Select Create/Modify Partitions
• 
  

• Select New
• 
  

• Choose Primary – then press enter to use the default disk size
• 
  

• Navigate to Bootable and press Enter on your keyboard.
  Now select Write, then type yes and press enter to confirm. 
• The warning message is irrelevant since VMware is only writing to a virtual disk.
• 
  

• Select quit, then choose the partition labelled sda1.
• Format as FAT32 when asked and proceed past the confirmation message.
• 
  

That’s how to install Android on PC using a VM. 

Read on to find out how to install Android on a physical hard disk or USB memory stick.

How To Install Android On PC Hard-Drive or USB Memory Stick

Installing Android on a PC’s Hard-Drive, or on a USB memory stick, is very similar to the steps above, but first you must download and install UNetbootin.
For the purpose of this guide, we’ll assume that you’re installing it on a USB memory stick.

• Insert your usb memory stick and run UNetbootin. After selecting the target disk, UNetbootin will extract Android from the ISO file and install it on your disk. 
• It might take few minutes.

How To Boot Into Android

Now that Android is installed on your USB stick or hard-drive, you just need to boot from that disk.

• With most PC’s, you can keep pressing F12 on your keyboard repeatedly right after you power on the PC, until you’re shown a boot menu. 
• From there, you simply select the USB drive from the menu.
• On other PC’s, you might heave to set the USB drive in the BIOS setup.
  Enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing one of the following repeatedly after you power on your computer
• F1, F2, DEL, ESC, or F10
