Why Don't you use open source softwares

You know that each any every software need some registration.
It requires registration code to access the full version of the software.

I have a doubt that why people are not using open source softwares.
These are free and powerful.

In my machine I use all open softwares and free softwares.
There is no trial version and limited capabilities.

Just look at these and tell me is there any utility require ?

Operating system:
When I was purchased my machine Windows XP Pro Service pack 2
preloaded. So there is no need of Xp installed again.

Then I installed application softwares given below.......

Anti Virus:
I am using ClamWin 0.91.2
Or
You can use Avast home edition for free

Spyware:
I am using Spybot search and destroy.

Firewall Security:
I am using Comodo Firewall security
or
You can use Zone Alarm.
(zone Alarm is a free software for only firewall It requires registrtion for spam blocking)

Temporary error cleaner and registry cleaner:
I am using Ccleaner for temporary files .And useful for Registry cleaner.

Zip Software:
I use 7-Zip for zip files.

PDF (Portable Document File) Reader:
I use FoxitReader for pdf files viewer.

Office (Word,PowerPoint,Excel):
I use Openoffice org 2.2.

CD burner:
Generally you can get it from the manufacturer.
If ever you require use InfraRecorder .

Image Viewers:
Google provides free software Picassa for maintaining Images.
Or
Use OSS Irfan view.

Vedio and audio Players:

Internet:

Now tell me Is there any need to buy a software?

Caution:
Don't use pirated versions, and Cracks.
Because there is lot of effort behind of software making.
Software companies are spending cores of rupees for making a single software.
Don't steel others hardwork.

Windows Vista - Hardware Compatibility Issues

Early up-graders to Windows Vista are reporting annoyance by the loads of software and hardware incompatibilities coming to the fore as they use Windows Vista. For the record the Redmond, Wash., software giant launched Vista and a companion update called Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update to the market on Jan 30. Seems like they expected a lot of issues with the system because they made sure that Vista patches were available on the net even before the Compact disks of the operating system left the factory.

That update, KB929427, makes good some of the more challenging application incompatibilities, but the nightmare is far from over, for the early bird upgraders. There is nothing new about
compatibility issues when a new operating system is launched, however, Vista is not only has a number of incompatibilities with existing applications but also lacks many drivers for critical hardware components and hardware peripherals. Support for Vista hardware is compounded by the fact that most vendors have not created drivers of their hardware that is compatible for Vista making support more of a headache. This is understood when it comes to peripherals such as printers and scanners but so far as critical hardware components such as hard drives, chipset controllers and video cards are concerned the lack of compatibility will crash the system. The manufacturers of primary components of the computer hardware system are just not ready with their wares to support Vista.

Early adopters of Vista have the following problems to contend with:

  • They will face a drastic lack of available drivers vendors leading to conflicts in applications.

  • New peripheral hardware components will lack compatible Vista drivers and the old components drivers will simply refuse to work in most cases.

  • New security feature often flags existing applications as suspicious and interrupts service

  • The OS automatically recommends which Vista versions is best for each PC's configuration. This will cause small businesses to download different versions of Vista.
SO in the ultimate analysis, Vista may seem attractive in it’s packaging but it still has far to go.

temp2.exe (irc.momma worm) - How i got to remove it successfully

(This Technique I found from another blog who writes like me. But it is more useful to you. This is for you.)

temp2.exe and/or temp1.exe, both these two viruses irritated me for some time yesterday. While i was copying some files using flash drive, my machine got to threaten of this virus. Some anti viruses treated it as worm, though it harms seriously. Mainly it deteriorates the data flow. So its related to network security. I clearly came to evidence that temp2.exe and temp1.exe are running on my system and until i ended them, i cant be able to detach the removable devices. In addition, when i tried to open other windows partitions, they are opened as new window, even though i havnt used that option. I addition it adds autorun option in the context menu explorer.

When i digg into the details, i came to know much about the virus, how its working, and all. If we are copying from infected machine, this virus puts three files along with the data into the disk.

They are: copy.exe, host.exe and autorun.inf
autorun.inf file contains only two lines.

[autorun]
open=copy.exe

when we open the infected disk, autorun will invokes and virus starts acting by running the copy.exe file. It creates a dump of above three files in root directory of each partition and make a copy of copy.exe in system32 directory. Also a copy of temp1.exe and temp2.exe wlould be kept in system32. Along with it corrupts the xcopy.exe and svchost.exe files in system32.exe. It also kept registry entry.

Steps to remove the virus:

So to remove the virus one has to be careful. First off the system restore monitoring. Then delete the three-files from root directory of each partition. Also remove copy.exe, xcopy.exe, temp1.exe, temp2.exe and svchost.exe from system32 directory. And the remaining is deleting the entries in registry. So to do that search in the registry for each of the file entries and manually delete them. After that restart your machine. So u will be out of that little dragon. a old copy of svchost.exe and xcopy.exe will be written back into your machine.

To check whether the virus got cleared or not, by observing the file properties of these two files. They must indicate the company info as 'Microsoft Corporation...'. If they are not from microsoft corporation, and anything which are residing in system32 directory must be from microsoft, else u can suspect of a malicious entry. After successful removal of the virus, u can continue by checking the system restore monitoring.






I wanna be a Hacker

Yeah!
sometimes i myself felt that i want to be a hacker, when things going wrong with my pc. when everything is fine, then there is no need to learn(of course it is), but as human beings, we are all set here to learn throught out the life. When i came across some good things about hackers, i had a look at some poem, which is describing the attitude of a typical hacker.

To follow the path:

look to the master,
follow the master,
walk with the master,
see through the master,
become the master.


A an attitude of a hacker is being described by the following five points.

1. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.
2. No problem should ever have to be solved twice.
3. Boredom and drudgery are evil.
4. Freedom is good.
5. Attitude is no substitute for competence.



There is much difference between a hacker and a cracker, hackers are for the good, and crackers are for the bad. But i think one can easily convert to cracker from hacker, when he is not obeying the laws of hacking. For those who want to become a good hacker please refer to this link as a starting point.
