Strategies To Avoid Virus Spread In A LAN?

Dec 19, 2012

My friend is coming over to get his pc fixed because it just happens to be so that his internet was shut off because he forgot to pay and he isn't responsible for the bill in his household. He always has a trojan or two in his pc and because of that I'd like to somehow "quarantine" him in the LAN so that his trojans viruses etc. can't infect other pc's in the network. I was thinking of attaching another router to the first router, so that it makes a new internet connection, and he wont connect to my main wireless network, so that he cant infect my machine through lan? TLDR: I want to make it so that it is as if he was on a far away modem in another house, so that he cannot infect my machine through lan, but still having him access the internet through my modem, by possibly adding a second router that is attached to the first router.

Lean And Effective Security Want To Avoid Virus Checkers

Feb 1, 2013

I generally do not like virus checkers. They seem to be resource hogs and slow down operations. I also get irritated by false positives (Avast) & continuous updating. I have ran my laptop w/o any protection for 2 years w/o incident. An occasional spybot portable scan only seems to find a couple of tracking cookies.

Windows Has Shut Down To Avoid Damage

Jul 12, 2012

I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows 7 (tech do it at Best Buy). Didn't have problems until a round mid June. Uninstalled some programs, did scans with Malwarebyts (found a bunch of malicious software), cleaned with ccleaner. Cleaned c drive. Scanned for viruses with micorsoft security essentials (nothing found). When I try to install my new webcam computer shows blue screen with ... windows has shut down to avoid damage and today I it was doing scan for viruses and froze again. Sometimes computer shuts down while simply clicking on a link in a website. A few weeks ago I used ccleaner to clearn up the registry and I fear something may have happened then as I've recently read that one should not mess with the registry. There are some other things I've tried but can't recall at the moment.

A Method To Avoid Forced Restarts

Mar 18, 2011

I have had more than my share of instances requiring a forced restart, because of one thing or another locking up the system, so that none of the usual methods of restarting are available. I think that I already know the answer, but nevertheless, I will ask...is there any hardware/software that can perform a NORMAL restart on a frozen system?

Swap Window Keys To Avoid Re-installation

Oct 28, 2009

I bought window 7 home premium with Micro Center coupon. After I installed it on my main desktop, I got myself one more copy of Window 7 from digital river though my student account. I didn't know that these guy were giving away window7 professional for same price with home premium. Now I need to get professional install on my main desktop for XP mode and plan to upgrade my laptop with home premium I currently installed on my desktop.

I am just wondering if it could be possible to just swap the CD key to aviod reinstalling over my desktop. I talked to Microsoft tech and support said each key is tied to each DVD. So I can't just swap my Desktop key with digital river version and then install home premium in laptop.

I want to get second option from you guy.

Avoid UAC Prompt For Trusted Program That Launches At Startup

Nov 18, 2011

I have an app that is supposed to run at startup. It has an option in it to "Start with Windows", but Windows 7's UAC insists on prompting me every time. I tried making a new task in Task manager to run it at startup, and using "Run with hightest Priveleges", but it doesn't work. The app just doesn't start at all. I am using an admin account, and I've disabled the "Start with Windows" setting in the app itself.

How To Avoid 'logged On As A Temporary Profile' Error Reoccuri

Nov 7, 2012

For the past 2 months, i have had re-occurring issues with logging onto my computer (windows 7 64 bit) and getting the error message 'you have been logged on with a temporary profile'. It got the the point where this was happening nearly every time i switched on, and had to do a system restore to get the computer working again. i spent hours reading forums and trying to fix the problem, but nothing worked with my limited computer knowledge. So i finally caved in and wiped the whole computer and have reinstalled everything. How do i stop this happening again. I have turned off windows automatic updates as it was mentioned it may be caused by an automatic update-is this advisable?

How To Block Windows 7 Updates To Avoid Clobbering Client VPN Access

Jul 12, 2012

My spouse's laptop has Windows 7 Professional and it contains a Citrix client VPN access to her work. For some reason, I do not have the details, Windows Updates clobbers the Citrix client, thereby she cannot access her work. Note that Windows performs these updates without asking the user if they want these updates to be performed. We have to uninstall the Windows Updates and reinstall the Citrix client to get her VPN working again. How can I setup her laptop to block (or at least ask the user) Windows from performing updates so that it does not affect her Citrix VPN access?

Blue Screen Errors - Computer Shutting Down To Avoid Damage After Sleep Mode

Aug 1, 2012

I keep getting a message on a bluescreen, often when the cpu comes out of sleep mode, that it is shutting down to avoid damage or something. I also often have trouble getting ctrl alt del to work. Recently, we removed several viruses, and hijackers from the computer, that made it so I couldn't even google search, and its only been doing it since then. As I write, malwarebytes said it was removing threats. I have scoured everywhere I could think of and removed almost all unnecessary programs, files and downloads. Could there stll be a virus? Could a previous virus have corrupted the comp irreversibly?

I am an online student and need some guidance. This has been going on for two weeks now.

Can't Log In Do To Shift Key Sticking Virus

Jul 26, 2012

I was infected by a virus. It makes the shift key get repeatedly pressed over and over. This happened to me before and I solved it by scanning with MalwareBytes and AVG. When I went to scan with MalwareBytes it needed updating, so I let it. Unluckily for me MalwareBytes thought it would be kind and restart the computer without my consent. Now, due to the virus, I can't login to my account to do anything, even in safe mode.

MSE Virus Keeps Rebooting Computer

Aug 15, 2012

I recently downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and now I think I have some sort of virus. Within minutes of logging onto my computer, a message keeps popping up that there is a critical error and that the computer will restart within one minute. I have tried to do anything I possibly can to get rid of this issue! It does the same thing while booting up in safemode as well. I also tried to restore my computer to a previous date before this occurred, and it still keeps happening. I figured i'd try to restore it to factory settings also, but it does not give me the option while booting up (f11), or on my control panel. I also tried using the TDSSkiller but my computer reboots before the scanning/fixing finishes.
