Messenger Plus! Live (One Heck Of An Extension)

  Am I exaggerating? I'm not sure. That'll depend on you. I got scolded by my friends while I was using one of it's scripts on them for fun. I was just TEASING, YOU HEAR THAT "FRIENDS"?! This extension for Windows Live Messenger is used for extra customizing on the program itself, giving itself more features than the original self.

  The main thing I posted this is because this is needed for the implementation of the anti-virus script that i stated here, Blocking Messenger Spams (SPIM). Messenger Plus! Live works by putting scripts into your Live Messenger, giving you access to more features like unlimited nudges (I've never grown tired of that) and customizing the font and colour of your words and background colour.

Windows Plus! Live website

Advantages :

• More features for you, allowing you to customize more in Live Messenger
• Extra protection, if you do use the script i stated in the link above
• This extra feature called 'lock mode', can hide all your messages and disguise the messenger icon in the taskbar with something normal (or dull) to prevent other people from opening it up (useful in offices)

Steps :

1. Download latest version from main website
2. Install it
3. Get the all the scripts you want from the same website, then import it using the Messenger Plus! Live ...& done!

I'm not going to suggest any scripts for your Messenger, just the anti-virus script, because I don't want you coming here and blame me for anything you've done to piss off your friend(s).

A Handy Partner For Anti-Virus Programs

  This post is dedicated to a guy who found my blog while searching for 'virus that blocks anti-virus websites', but to avail no solutions :-( . Poor guy (*sob*), let's all mourn for this great loss... OK back to the main point. For every anti-virus, there still seems to be always a flaw in the protection. Well, just for products like AVG and all those low rated stuff (like that Spyware Doctor). To cover up for that, we can use Spybot Search & Destroy.

spybot search & destroy

Advantages :

• Double protection for your computer, cause it has real-time scanning too
• Scans your registry for spyware, malware related stuff with heuristic analysis (scans for behaviour), this is something you don't see in anti-virus programs, cause this one looks into the registry and gives you the details
• All I can say is, IT'S FREE!!!!

select all and scan with spybot

For those who are having the same problem as the guy I mentioned, follow these steps :

1. Go to their website and download the latest version
   
2. Install it (make sure you tick the box saying 'include in file extension' or something like that)
3. Start the program and update first, then immunize (it's gonna take some time, but it's worth it, skip the scan for your computer, you can do that later after you've finish these steps)
4. Go to the folder in your computer here C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, then select everything
5. Right click > 'Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy' (If this doesn't appear then you should restart first and repeat from step 4), then if detected take action on whatevers available ...& done!

 Please comment if this doesn't work for you (and other posts too if they don't work)

Blocking Messenger Spams (SPIM)

  Annoyed with messenger spams? Hate having to tell your friends through personal message that it was spam and wasn't you? Seeing popups on your computer with the anti-virus telling you it's from the internet? If you are (I hope you are), then this should help you. Through some websites (*whew*) I have found some info on how to prevent it.

  Steps For Messenger :

• Sue the guy with a good lawyer (Just kidding)
• Close the message and NEVER click on it, don't even type it in your browser
  
• Change your password every time you receive one
• make sure you click 'Use enhanced security when you login just below the password entry or always use this link. Just make sure there's an 's' in 'http' in the web address
  
• Use this script at WLM and install into your messenger (program is needed to install this)
  
• Always sign out your messenger and e-mail account properly before closing them

Messenger.exe under Services

Steps To Do In Computer :

1.  'Start' > 'Settings' > 'Control Panel' > 'Performance & Maintenance' > 'Administrative Tools' (the P & M only applies if you are using 'Category View')
   
2. Services > find and double click 'Messenger'
3. Change 'Startup type' to 'Disabled', stop the service too if it's running...& done! (This won't affect your Live Messenger at all because this has nothing to do with your program)
   

  These steps will prevent your computer from sending spams to other people and with luck, people to yours. The details I obtained are from these websites , Messenger and a random web. If you don't prevent these things, they might do some damage by sending trojans to your computer. Do you want to take the chance?

Prevent Your Site Being Listed On Search Engines (For Privacy Reasons)

  Some people just want their sites to be their own journal or diaries, no peeking from other users. Whereas some wants to share their 'world' with the real world. Actually, that was what blogspot was made for. Anyway, here I will show you all how to prevent your site from being listed on search engines.

Advantage :

• I already stated it above.

Steps :

1. Edit your site's html
2. Insert this (replace ^^ with <>) ^meta content="noindex" name="robots"^ or this ^meta content="noindex" name="googlebot"^ (if you want to block google only, not sure for others) after the '' section
3. Save ...& done!

For websites like blogspot users, very simple, don't have to follow above instructions above. (Bet you already read it, right?)

Blogspot settings

Steps :

1. Dashboard > Settings > Basic
2. Search for "Let search engines find your blog?", then click no
3. Save ...& done!
   

There's still a catch here, even if you're not listed on search engines anymore, people still can access your websites through direct links, as in type your site's address in the address bar. Go here for further details.

Ways To Prevent Malware In Pendrives (or Pendrive Cannot Open Normally)

  Does your pendrive cannot be accessed normally (by double-clicking) after your anti-virus removes malware from your pendrive? In most cases, it's because the anti-virus has deleted "autorun.inf" from your computer. This "autorun.inf" was rewritten by malware to put virus in your computer if you double-click your pendrive for the first time. Once anti-virus deleted that, you can't open your pendrive normally again. With Autorun Eater, that problem is solved.

Autorun Eater's Website

Advantages:

• You don't have to reformat your pendrive.
• Prevent malwares in your pendrive the moment you insert into usb before the malware acts.
• Doesn't take much space in your computer's harddrive, very small actually.

Steps :

1. Go to Autorun Eater Mainpage
2. Download latest version
3. Install... & done!

Configurations can be done later by right click on the icon in taskbar. The other way is reformat. (for now). MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR FILES INSIDE. DO THIS ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE SCAN YOUR PENDRIVE FOR VIRUSES.

Steps :

1. Right-click on pendrive icon in My Computer
2. Choose 'Format'...
3. Choose 'quick format' & press Start or Enter... & done!
   

UPDATE(S):

• Pendrive that right now cannot be open normally can actually still be accessed by right click > 'Explore'.
