Save & Protect your PENDRIVE from Conficker

You might hear about the latest computer virus Conficker (aka Downup, Downadup and Kido. If infected it disables many system services like computer Automatic Update, normally difficult to find out), which is widely propagating through networks and USB drives. One of the main causes of virus infection is careless use of pen drives (USB sticks). Because of its auto run feature, virus can easily get in to your system. Here is a freeware zero-configuration program –Ninja designed to protect computers from virus infection through USB pen disks.

Simply download (679Kb) and run it. It sits quietly in the system tray. Whenever a USB pen disk is inserted on the computer, ninja will examine it to uncover the commonly malicious or virulent files known as "autorun.inf" and "ctfmon.exe" amongst many others.

Besides removing known virulent files, this tool will also immunize your pen disk and create a folder called autorun.inf with special protection permissions to protect your pen disk from being infected again when plugged on contaminated computers.

Ninja is fully portable, self-contained and requires no installation and works for Windows XP and Windows Vista.

If you want to run it automatically on Windows start up, right click on the Ninja icon on task bar and click on ‘Add to startup’, so that you need not run it every time you start windows.

Best Web Site Optimization Forums (Part 2)

During hard economic times < http://www.bizcrunch.net/marketing/should-we-panic-from-the-lehman-debacle/ > – like the one we are in right now – many things are cut off from people's budgets. Personal expenses are drastically cut down. Business expenses are not exempt as well. Somehow, people find ways and means by which to lessen spending in order to weather the financial storm. Peripheral spending and nonessential expenses are usually the first to go. If you are thinking of cutting off your SEO expenses because of the credit crunch, you might want to think again.

The Idea The first part of posting is to come up with ideas. I sometimes find it necessary to just start writing down words related to my industry and working outwards from there. After coming up with a few different ideas, I bring certain main points together as a single post and I have a fully conceptualized idea. It can also help to see what other people are writing about. Do you have an opinion? Look back and see what was interesting to people a year ago, two years ago. Have things changed or are they still the same? Some of my favourite posts by authors are the ones where they compare/contrast two different products or two different time pe...
