How to prevent my laptop from others, if that person know my laptop password?
in
Is there any chance to notify me through mail or sms to my mobile when my laptop is opened by others???? Please suggest me... Thanks...
Answer:
If you're really crazy, you could get a thumb print reader and use that for your login. Barring that, you can lock your bios with a password, change the password on the Admin account and change your password. Although, if he really knows what he's doing there's not going to be a lot that you can do to keep him out. Basic windows security is only meant to stop a majority of people.
How to get rid of Windows Family Safety without being the administrator?
in
My father decided to block facebook with Windows Family Safety. Proxy sites don't work either, I need to find a way to disable it or delete it completely without having the administrator password. If anyone could please be so kind to help me, i'd appreciate that very much. Thanks. (:
Answer:
It does sound like you will need to speak to a parent (or a user with admin privileges) to remove or turn the filter off. Obviously with you being "just a kid" it would be wise for there to be some sort of Web filter in place if it is not possible to supervise you while you use the net.
You could suggest they install a less invasive product like SafeSearchLock which won't block sites but will force the strict safesearch and family filters on for sites like Yahoo, Google, YouTube, Bing, Flickr etc. for all accounts on the machine and all installed browsers. Parents/admins can use a password to turn it off if they need to but to be honest, I leave it running all the time on mine. It can be very embarrassing to do a Web search for something innocent only to be confronted with adult sites or images - especially if someone else happens to see your screen at the time!
See the link below for more information.
Sorry its impossible to disable that without administrative privilages.
How to remove resistant programs from my computer?
in
I have Windows XP. I am unable to remove some gaming programmes from my computer. I get message "Installation log not found." How do I locate the installation log, or is there any other way I can remove such programs?
Answer:
http://www.ubuntu.com/
You should probably know that Windows XP is at the end of it's life. If you don't want to throw away your computer, you'll probably want to install a different operating system onto it. Ubuntu is a really nice replacement for Windows. :)
How to turn off your virus programme so that your files won't get deleted?
in
I just downloaded a thing that i'm certain is not a threat but my computer still thinks so.
I have norton 360 if that helps.
What do I do to stop the programme from deleting this file?
Answer:
Norton may have flagged a false positive, but if these two products also say it's a threat, you can be pretty certain it IS a threat.
Try this:
Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter.
Now download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it, get updates and run a full scan (still in Safe Mode). This is a direct download link. Copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar, and press Enter.
http://www.myantispyware.com/mbam
After that, boot normally and run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect any malware that wasn’t running in Safe Mode.
If the problem still exists, download and run the free Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool:
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/utility
You should now delete the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future.
Hope this helps.
How to tell if a work computer is being monitored.?
in
I have a work laptop that I've been told is monitored, so I am guessing there is a program on it that is sending information.
I don't do anything bad with this computer so it doesn't really matter, but I am curious. I'm not on a network as I just use an aircard, so I'm not sure how it could be done.
If there a program installed, or is it just a scare tactic to keep people off Facebook?
Answer:
The most likely monitor your traffic on the network.
Unless you use your own internet connection like one of those 3 G or 4 G wireless adapters that pick up cell phone towers and use their own seperate internet they can monitor everything you do.
This includes but is not limited to seeing which websites you go on, what you type, usernames and password and things of that nature.
Considering it's a company owned laptop they might actually also have monitoring software and hardware built in to record your keystrokes and monitor which programs you install and what you do, regardless of what network or internet connection you use.
As for identifying if there's on in place... i'm afraid unless you re-installed the operating system yourself there's no way to know 100% and if you did something like that it could end up costing you your job.
Biggest thing they care about is that you're not selling company secrets or fucking them over, watching porn, or playing too many games.

The internet is being turned completely off, therefore disabling Hotspot shield, and then turning it back on. Is there anyway to keep internet?
Answer:
One has nothing to do with the other. You need to figure out what's wrong with your internet. However, Hotspot Shield is spyware and they record everything you do so that they can use that information in their advertising business.

How to tell firewall that a program is dangerous?
in
How do I tell my Windows firewall that a certain program is dangerous and to not allow it? Its norton to be precise.
Answer:
Install a proper software firewall that asks your permission to allow a program rather than the other way round
But if you must stick with Windoze then go into the Control Panel, double-click on the Windows Firewall and then click on Advanced settings
In there you'll find the rules that control access so edit away
