Many people are fed up with computer viruses. They get your PC even if you use the best and the most robust anti-virus software. Experts suggest that the best way to fight a computer virus is to use your common sense.

Preventing the infection is better than the cure. In order to prevent the infection you really need to understand what the virus is. Simply a computer virus is a very small program that tries to install itself without letting the user to know (actually the virus passes through many complex phases but this is a simple description) then it starts its damage. So let us to reconsider it again: a computer virus is a very small program that uses windows functionality (installation) and then uses a different functionality to damage. So the best way to prevent the installation is to stop the installation functionality in windows and give only one user the permission for installation. So how it can be applied? There are several ways and many tools but here I am discussing the simplest way and you don’t really need any other tool if you are a home user.

First step: if your computer is infected

If your computer is infected make a new installation of windows and after you finish follow this step

-don’t open any folder and go to: Start Menus --> My Computer --> Tools --> Folder Options --> View (tab) --> then select “Show hidden files and folders” and uncheck both “Hide extensions for known files types” and ”Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)” --> click Ok twice.

     

-open every partition except the you formatted while windows installation by right clicking on it --> Open and erase the following files:

• Autorun.inf
• Ravmon.exe
• New Folder.exe
• svchost.exe
• Heap41a
• Or any other exe file which may be suspicious(it always be very small).

Second step:

Make two windows account from control panel. The first one will be administrator and you will use it to install programs, burn CDs and for running application that require administrative privilege. be careful while using this account and only install trusted software product.

The second one let it be limited and logon to it for your daily uses.

Convert .FLV to .AVI using VirtualDub

 

http://rapidshare.com/files/182277737/Virtualdub.rar

You may find a clip on the internet you like so you download it. Then you get surprised because the file you download is in .FLV format and it doesn’t work in windows media player. Or you may don’t like the idea to download and install another software program just to play that clip. So you google “.FLV to .WMA” in order to find the software program you need but the result aren’t good enough as they contain many fake websites and you may end blowing your OS.

Anyway, all you need is a cool free open source software program like VirtualDub. It has many features:

• Portable need no installation process.
• Ease of use.
• Not only free of charge but also open source under GNU license.

Now how to convert the .flv to .wmv??!!

After you download VirtualDub and Xvid codec (from here) unzip the file then go to Virtualdub\VirtualDub -1.8.6 directory. Open VirtualDub.exe then click on File --> open video file… to select the file. Click on video --> Compression. Select XviD MPEG-4 Codec then click on Configure. Choose Advanced Sample @ L5 for Profile @ Level. Choose Single Pass for Encoding type. Click on Target quantizer. Type 500 for Target bitrate in (kbps). Click ok twice. Click on File -->Save as AVI…. Now you got your .avi file which can be played using windows media player.
