Malware merupakan perisian yang direka bentuk untuk memasuki ke dalam sistem komputer dan menyebabkan resiko kerosakan komputer tanpa disedari oleh pengguna.

Nama Malware wujud daripada gabungan ‘malicius’ yang membawa maksud niat jahat dan ‘software’ pula bermaksud perisian. Perisian ini dicipta oleh individu yang mempunyai kepakaran berkenaan kod program pelbagai perisian. Tujuan golongan ini ialah untuk mengganggu, mengancam dan menimbulkan masalah kepada pengguna komputer. Mereka mencipta Malware seperti cecacing internet dan beberapa virus lain bagi tujuan untuk menguji kemahiran komputer yang dimiliki serta ingin melihat sejauh mana kejayaan mereka menyebarkan virus yang dicipta.

Salah satu Malware yang mula-mula disebarkan adalah cecacing yang telah direka oleh seorang pelajar Cornell University, Robert Morris pada tahun 1998. Tujuan asalnya ialah untuk latihan bagi menguji dan mengukur saiz Internet. Namun telah berlaku kesilapan dalam pengekodan menyebabkan cecacing tersebut telah berupaya menyalin semula dan tersebar meluas ke beribu-ribu komputer di seluruh dunia.

Pada masa ini Malware diwujudkan untuk tujuan mengaut keuntungan. Bukan saja untuk mengganggu sistem komputer tetapi ia juga digunakan untuk mencuri data, identiti, wang serta maklumat pengguna, semata-mata bagi mengaut keuntungan yang berlipat ganda oleh penjenayah siber.

Pengguna selalunya tidak sedar, bahawa sebahagian perisian yang dimuat turun dari internet yang digunakan sebenarnya adalah merbahaya kerana penyamaran yang dilakukan. Teknik inilah yang telah digunakan oleh kebanyakan virus trojen. Teknik yang dikenali sebagai ‘rootkits’ menawarkan penyembunyian Malware daripada pengetahuan pengguna dan menghalang daripada dikesan oleh program anti virus.

Kemunculan lebih banyak rangkaian sosial seperti YouTube, MySpace dan sebagainya akan menggalakkan lagi penyebaran Malware. Penyebaran ini juga boleh berlaku melalui pautan pada ruangan forum, sembang talian, pautan video dan ruangan berita.

Malware akan menyebabkan sistem komputer bertambah lambat seperti penyambungan Internet dan juga masa untuk sistem ‘boot’ menjalankan operasinya

Untuk mengesan malware kita memerlukan software yang dapat mengesan kehadiran malware dalam komputer`.Salah satu software yang boleh digunakan secara percuma adalah Prevx CSI - Free Malware Scanner.Software ini boleh di download dan diguna secara percuma dan boleh digunakan pada Windows XP, Vista, 2003, 2000 SP4 .Terdapat banyak lagi software yang boleh digunakan secara percuma tetapi harus berhati-hati kerana sesetengah software tersebut adalah “perangkap samar”.Jika anda search keyword malware scan , malware scanner atau free malware scanner di enjin carian google sebagai contoh , memang banyak link yang menceritakan kisah suka duka malware.Akhir sekali dari saya hidup komputer tanpa malware.

Ramai pengguna komputer termasuk saya selalu mengeluh mengapa komputer mengambil masa terlalu lama untuk shut down.”Malas a nak tunggu” secara tidak langsung anda meningalkan komputer tanpa off suis power.Inilah salah satu penyebab mengapa ramai yang tidak off power utama ke komputer.Sedangkan dengan off kan suis utama dapat memanjangkan hayat peralatan komputer dan menjimatkan bil api elektrik.

Mengikut ilmu dan pengalaman saya , masa yang diambil oleh internet komputer untuk shut down bergantung kepada hardware dan aplication yang sedang runing.Jika komputer anda berkuasa kuda tinggi dari segi CPU dan RAM , masa yang diambil untuk shut down lebih laju dari komputer yang hardware berkuasa rendah.Aplication yang sedang running juga mempengaruhi masa yang diambil untuk shut down.Semakin banyak aplication sedang runing semakin lama masa diambil.

Hari ini saya akan kongsi satu tip untuk melajukan proses shut down komputer anda.Anda hanya perlu membuat sedikit perubahan pada setting di system registry..Apa yang perlu anda lakukan adalah ubah value data pada AutoEndTasks dan WaitToKillAppTimeout.Double klik pada AutoEndTask dan ubah nilai 0 kepada 1000 dan value data WaitToKillAppTimeout dari 2000 kepada 5000.Selepas itu restart komputer anda dan lihat perbezaan.

icrosoft routing problems can occur when a Cisco VPN Client (VPN 3000 Client, Cisco Secure VPN Client, or VPN 5000 Client) gets an IP address from the device terminating the tunnel (Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator, router, PIX Firewall, or VPN 5000 Concentrator) that is on the same network as the local Network Interface Card (NIC). This can occur if a user has a laptop on the corporate network with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or static IP address (10.50.1.x), brings the laptop home, dials into an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and connects using the VPN Client.

If the terminating device sends the VPN Client an IP address that is on the same network (10.50.1.x), the user cannot send any data over the client connection. The packets are sent to the NIC, instead of over the VPN connection, because the traffic is still routed out of the NIC. This problem occurs on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0.

Symptoms of this problem are that the VPN tunnel comes up, but the PC cannot pass traffic. A route print command still shows the DHCP or static address, or both. If the IP address was received through DHCP, the DHCP lease can be manually released.

The Cisco VPN Client can be preconfigured for mass deployments, and initial logins require little user intervention. It supports the innovative Cisco Easy VPN capabilities, delivering a uniquely scalable, cost-effective, and easy-to-manage remote access VPN architecture that eliminates the operational costs associated with maintaining a consistent policy and key management method. The Cisco Easy VPN feature allows the Cisco VPN Client to receive security policies upon a VPN tunnel connection from the central site VPN device (Cisco Easy VPN Server), minimizing
configuration requirements at the remote location. This simple and highly scalable solution is ideal for large remote access deployments where it is impractical to individually configure policies for multiple remote PCs. Read More......

How can e-mail marketing generate income to an individual?

Penetrating e-mail marketing requires not much from you. It actually entails very simple things: have patience, motivate yourself to work to the fullest and a few simple tips to bring onto your pocket and voila! You are all set!

To ensure that you get what you want you have to have a powerful material to equate your goal. Since the e-mail marketing requires that one should develop an e-mail to be sent out to potentially large market, then it is a must that the e-mail material is written at its best. Remember that your objective is to attract prospective consumers and catch their attention to at least consider buying or patronizing your product. Apparently, the medium that you have handicaps you from verbally catching the consumer, then it is just but right to put out the best e-mail material campaign. The e-mail leaves all the impression without you knowing it. Only when you are able to capture that market can you say that you have been successful in marketing the product. So, the rule is, give the best content you can think of in the e-mail!

Now, you have completed your campaign material. The next question is: Do I have a database of potential market?

The Internet in itself is the primary source of this. But maximizing it is another question. Of course, you can always refer to having someone else's address book, as a source of your database, but you can never have the address book of other potentially opened-up for you. Also, not discounting the fact that with this method, the probability of getting undeliverable or mailer-daemon message return is at a high percentage.

If you want to maximize your capacity, you can indulge into purchasing some programs from the net where it can give you the number of databases that you want -- even more, you can have millions of address lists in just a snap. With millions of address lists, are you not ensured of an income even when just a portion of this returns back to your advertisement?

What should you do to clean a trojan virus? In this article, we will discuss what a trojan virus is, and how to get rid of it safely.

A trojan virus is a small program that hides on a computer that is infected. The trojan allows hackers to have access to your stored passwords on your computer. Hackers can also read any personal documents stored on your hard drive. In addition, by using a trojan virus, they can delete files on your system, and display strange pictures or show messages on your computer screen. A trojan virus gets on your computer when you run an executable (.exe) file on your computer that is infected. Trojan viruses can also be hidden inside other programs, so your computer might have been infected if you downloaded some funny type of email that you received.

In order to clean a trojan virus, you need to get a spyware cleaner (trojan horses fall under the classification of spyware). An effective spyware removal program has a user interface that is easy to operate, and will scan your system for any trojan horses and other types of harmful intruders that may be lurking underneath the surface. You will then be shown the results, giving you the option of deleting them. A good spyware remover also acts as an anti spyware program, which will work to defend your computer against future attacks. You can also set the spyware removal program to perform future scans for new trojan and spyware/malware threats.

On the other hand infections like spyware and adware are mostly advertisement related and have the objective of stealing information from your pc while monitoring your web surfing activities. All three of these infection types usually infect your pc via the same methods which include p2p network downloads, freeware applications, email attachments and from clicking on unknown pop ups or boxes which trigger malicious backdoor installations.

You will know if your pc is infected with a virus as it will suffer from poor system speed, pop ups, less functionality and the possible formation of unknown desktop shortcuts and toolbars. Virus removal tools are designed to detect signatures within files on your system and will remove or quarantine them according to their risk levels and this is why you should ensure that you scan your system regularly to prevent future problems.
