Some Tools To Kill Multiple Processess At Same Time.

Windows Task Manager is a task manager application included with Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems that provides detailed information about computer performance and running applications, processes and CPU usage, commit charge and memory information, network activity and statistics, logged-in users, and system services. It is one of the basic tools to manage the processes currently running in Windows systems. There are a few other choices to manage the processes but almost all of them can terminate the processes one by one.

1. KillProcess
KillProcess is an advanced process killer which can terminate any kind of process that we can see in the task manager including the SYSTEM processes which Windows does not allow to be terminated. KillProcess can also terminate Windows services. If KillProcess is running then we can specify an application or process which we do not want to run. KillProcess will automatically terminate the process once it starts.

How to Manually Remove Virus From USB Flash Drive without Formatting?


While installing a new software, while downloading a file from the internet , while plugging a USB device , while opening a malicious website and adding numerous other while's ...what we fear the most is --"does it have a virus"?

Most of the active viruses infect your windows system as soon as you double click on the Pen Drive icon in your my computer. As virus always creates a autorun.inf file which is a system ,hidden and a read only file on your pen drive. It point to the main virus file which is also located on the pen drive. When user double clicks on the pen drive files pointed by the autorun.inf got executed which copies the virus files on your system.

How To Know There Is Virus?

1. When you plugin a drive, Some Autoplay feature polls you to select a option. If you see a folder like icon that reads open using the program provided on the device. Does not select that. Also do not select Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer. Since the virus can execute with these options. Cancel it.

Note: Windows 7 has disabled the Autorun Option for Flash Drives, since the autorun source is usually unknown.

2. You will also see a folder like icon instead of Flash Drive Icon in my computer

How To Remove Virus Manually?

1. In Start Menu Click RUN and then type cmd. Type your Flash Drive Letter followed with colon. For eg:

J:

type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* and press enter.

This will unhide all files.

2. Correct Way of Opening Flash Drives
Do not open the Flash Drive by double clicking the icon in my Computer or By Right clicking and then Open,Explorer. Open the USB Drive by using Folders Icon. Click on the Folders icon then select your Flash Drive.

OR

You can select Your Flash Drive by using the Address Bar in Windows Explorer.

OR

Type your Drive letter in the Address Bar.

3. After Opening the drive. Select Details View.

You can now see what the virus does with your Flash Drive. The Virus does disguises itself as folder. You can see that system file icon as illustrated here is similar to folder icon. You actually click on the file.

Actually you click on those virus file thinking of them as folder and the virus executes. In the detailed view you can clearly see that the system file has a Type description of Application and the system folder has a Type description of Folder.

Delete all such files. Carefully do not delete the folders.

4. Delete the Autorun.inf file

5. You can also delete these files using 7-ZIP. Since it shows such virus files as having application file icon.

Download 7-ZIP from HERE

Or you can get PowerExes Pack that includes it.

Download PowerExes Extra Pack from HERE.

Open 7-ZIP and Type your Flash Drive Letter in the Address Bar. Here J:

6. Delete all the folders and files you think that you did not saved them.

The folders could have names like Recycler,System Volume. Delete them also. You can also see the Recycle Bin like icons delete them too. In this illustration these files are virus files:  0o.com, system.exe, 2m66sr.exe, abk.bat, etc.
7. Now Scan your Flash Drive with some Anti-Virus to delete exe infecting viruses. This is because some application files (which can be some programs like Adobe Reader Setup or else) be affected with exe virus.

If you do not have a proper Anti-Virus then Click on Search and select All files and Folders. In the All or part of file name field type *.exe. In the Look In field select Your Flash Drive. In the More Advanced options select Search System Folders and Search Hidden files and Folders. When search is complete delete all files.

How to Change Mac Address of Computer having Windows OS?

What is MAC?
A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address. An Ethernet MAC address is a six byte number, usually expressed as a twelve digit hexadecimal number.(Example - 4A:BC:C2:04:AB:1F).

Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most of today's hardware, an action often referred to as MAC spoofing. Unlike IP address spoofing, where senders spoofing their address in a request direct the receiver into sending the response elsewhere, in MAC address spoofing, the response is received by the spoofing party. However, MAC address spoofing is limited to the local broadcast domain.

Most Internet subscriptions allow the customer only a single IP address. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) may assign one static (fixed) IP address to each customer. However, this approach is an inefficient use of IP addresses that are currently in short supply. The ISP more commonly issues each customer dynamic IP address that may change each time the customer connects to the Internet.

ISPs ensure each customer receives only one dynamic address using several methods. Dial-up and many DSL services typically require the customer to log in with a username and password. Cable modem services, on the other hand, do this by registering and tracking the MAC address of the device that connects to the ISP.

The device whose MAC address is monitored by an ISP can be either the cable modem, a broadband router, or the PC that hosts the Internet connection. The customer is free to build a network behind this equipment, but the ISP expects the MAC address to match the registered value at all times.

Whenever a customer replaces that device, however, or changes the network adapter inside it, the MAC address of this new equipment will no longer match the one registered at the ISP. The ISP will often disable the customer's Internet connection for security (and billing) reasons.

Although MAC addresses do not reveal any geographic location information like IP addresses do, changing MAC addresses may improve your Internet privacy in some situations. There is a software available which can be used for changing mac address.

Technique 1: A Hard Way
Under Windows XP, the MAC address can be changed in the Ethernet adapter's Properties menu, in the Advanced tab, as "MAC Address", "Locally Administered Address", "Ethernet Address" or "Network Address". The exact name depends on the Ethernet driver used; not all drivers support changing the MAC address in this way.

However, a better solution - requiring Administrative User Rights - is to pass over the System Registry Keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. Here settings for each network interface can be found. The contents of the string value called 'NetworkAddress' will be used to set the MAC address of the adapter when next it is enabled. Resetting the adapter can be accomplished in script with the freely available command line utility devcon from Microsoft, or from the adapters context menu in the Network Connections control panel applet.

Note: to check your MAC address easily on a Windows XP box, go to Run, type CMD, then type "ipconfig /all" without quotation in the command prompt. The number under physical address is the MAC address. If multiple IP are displayed, you should look under the label "Ethernet adapter x", where x is the name of your connection (which is Local Area Connection by default).

Technique 2: Try these softwares.

Changing the MAC address in Windows 2000 and XP

Method 1:
This is depending on the type of Network Interface Card (NIC) you have. If you have a card that doesn’t support Clone MAC address, then you have to go to second method.
  • Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel and double click on Network and Dial-up Connections.
  • Right click on the NIC you want to change the MAC address and click on properties.
  • Under “General” tab, click on the “Configure” button
  • Click on “Advanced” tab
  • Under “Property section”, you should see an item called “Network Address” or "Locally Administered Address", click on it.
  • On the right side, under “Value”, type in the New MAC address you want to assign to your NIC. Usually this value is entered without the “-“ between the MAC address numbers.
  • Goto command prompt and type in “ipconfig /all” or “net config rdr” to verify the changes. If the changes are not materialized, then use the second method.
  • If successful, reboot your systems.
Method 2:
This method requires some knowledge on the Windows Registry. If you are not familiar with Windows Registry, just use the SMAC tool (Mentioned in my yesterday post) to change the MAC addresses, or consult with a technical person before you attempt on the following steps. Also, make sure you have a good backup of your registry.

A. Goto command prompt and type “ipconfig /all”, and

  • Record the Description for the NIC you want to change.
  • Record the Physical Address for the NIC you want to change. Physical Address is the MAC Address
                                                                                  Fig 1
B. Goto command prompt and type “net config rdr”, and you should see something like
                                                                             Fig 2
C. Remember the number between the long number (GUID) inside the { }. For example, in the above “net config rdr” output, for MAC address “00C095ECB793,” you should remember {1C9324AD-ADB7-4920-B02D-AB281838637A}. You can copy and paste it to the Notepad, that’s probably the easiest way. (See figure 2)

D. Go to Start -> Run, type “regedt32” to start registry editor. Do not use “Regedit.”

E. Do a BACKUP of your registry in case you screw up the following steps. To do this
  • Click on “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine” sub-window
  • Click on the root key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”.
  • Click on the drop-down menu “Registry -> Save Subtree As” and save the backup registry in to a file. Keep this file in a safe place.
F. Go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. Double click on it to expand the tree. The subkeys are 4-digit numbers, which represent particular network adapters. You should see it starts with 0000, then 0001, 0002, 0003 and so on. (See figure 3)
                                                                              Fig 3
G. Go through each subkey that starts with 0000. Click on 0000, check DriverDesc keyword on the right to see if that's the NIC you want to change the MAC address. The DriveDesc should match the Description you recorded from step (a.-I.). If you are not 100% sure about the DriverDesc, then you can verify by checking if the NetCfgInstanceID keyword value matches the GUID from step (c).

If there is no match, then move on to 0001, 0002, 0003, and so on, until you find the one you want. Usually 0000 contains the first NIC you installed on the computer. In this demonstration, 0000 is the NIC I selected. (See figure 3)

H. Once you selected the subkey (i.e. 0000), check if there is a keyword "NetworkAddress" exist in the right side of the window. (See figure 3)

a. If "NetworkAddress" keyword does not exist, then create this new keyword:
  •  Click on the drop down menu “Edit -> Add Value”.
  •  In the Add Value window, enter the following value then click OK. (See figure 4)
                           Value Name: = NetworkAddress
                           Data Type: = REG_SZ
                                                                               Fig 4

  • String Editor window will pop up at this time (see figure 5)
  • Enter the new MAC address you want to modify. Then click OK. (There should not be any "-" in this address. Your entry should only consist of 12 digits as seen in the figure 5)
b. If "NetworkAddress" keyword exists, make sure it shows the keyword type is REG_SZ, and it should show as NetworkAddress:REG_SZ: . This keyword might not have a value at this time.

  • Double click on the keyword NetworkAddress and the String Editor window will pop up. (See Figure 5)
  • Enter the new MAC address you want to modify. Then click OK. (There should not be any "-" in this address. Your entry should only consist of 12 digits as seen in the figure 5)
                                                                                Fig 5
J. There are 2 ways to make the new MAC address active. Method I does not require a system reboot:


a. Goto Start->Setting->Control Panel, and double click on "Network Neighborhood".
  
WARNING: Make sure you understand that you WILL lose the network connection after completing step "ii." below, and if you have a DHCP client, you will get a new IP address after completing step "iii."
  • Select the Network Adaptor you just changed the MAC address.
  • Right click on the selected Network Adaptor and click "Disable." Verify the status column for this adaptor changes to "Disabled"
  • Right click on the selected Network Adaptor and click "Enable." Verify the status column for this adaptor changes to "Enabled"
  •  If for any reason it cannot be disabled or re-enabled, you have to reboot your system to make the changes effective.

b. Reboot your Windows system.

K. Once completing step j (if rebooting the system, wait until the reboot is completed), go to command prompt, type “ipconfig /all” to confirm the new MAC address.

Restore The TRUE Hardware burned-in MAC Address:

a. Remove the entry you added:

  • If you followed Method 1, then go back to the advanced properties window and remove the entry you add.
  • If you followed Method 2, then remove the "NetworkAddress" keyword you added in the registry.
b. Use step (J) above to activate the change you make.

c. Once rebooted, go to command prompt, type “ipconfig /all” to confirm the original MAC address.

If MAC Address changes does not work:
If for whatever reason the MAC address cannot be changed using method 2, make sure you restore the registry setting by following the "Restore The TRUE Hardware burned-in MAC Address" instruction above. If necessary, restore the registry you just backed-up to get your system back to the original state. You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu “Registry->Restore,” and restore your backup registry file.

Zero Assumption Recovery (ZAR) : A Free Tool To Recover Digital Images

Have you lost the only copies of precious photos and need to get them back? Recovering digital photos from CDs, hard drives memory cards, digital cameras, iPods and other players is one of the most common data recovery tasks. Digital storage media are quite fragile compared to photographic prints and digital camera users often make just a single copy of their precious pictures before deleting the original. This results in tragedy when the copy is lost or damaged and cannot be read.

If some of your irreplaceable photos seem to be lost, don't be distressed! Unless the medium on which they are stored has been physically damaged, there is a good chance that you can get them back.

There are many different photo recovery tools and general data recovery tools available and many of them use different techniques to get your photos back. If one product can't recover your pictures, another might be successful. You can eliminate some frustration by trying to pick the best tool for the job first.

If the images you want to recover are on a Flash memory card or in your camera or iPod then they can still be recovered using the same type of recovery software.

Zero Assumption Recovery (ZAR) is as simple to use, but recovers the files that Recuva will not find, and does not charge a fee for image recovery (although they do have software to recover other file types for a fee).

ZAR’s install file is 2.53 MB, and takes just a few seconds to download on a broadband connection. To recover digital images from storage (typically a memory card) you need to connect the storage to the PC, download, install, and start ZAR, then follow step-by-step instructions below.

Step 1 - Download, install, and start ZAR. 
 When you run it, ZAR displays the window like the one below:

Click "Next >>"

Step 2 - Select processing mode
 Select "Recover images from a digital camera memory card"
Click "Next >>"

Step 3 - Select a physical device to recover
 Select the device corresponding to your device.

Note:
  • See the "Type" column for the "Removable", because most likely your device is connected to the PC via USB port.
  • You can use "Model" and "Capacity" fields to identify your device.
  • If you are using a camera and it is not listed as the device available for recovery, you need to use a card reader device
Click "Next >>" to start the recovery run.

Step 4 - Recovery run
 This part is fully automatic. If you are using the camera to read the card and all the dots on the map are red, or if the scan is unacceptably slow (more than several minutes with no progress), discontinue the run, remove the card from the camera, then restart using a card reader device. Card readers tend to perform better.

Step 5 - Select the files to recover
Mark files to recover by clicking their corresponding checkboxes. To mark all files at once, just mark the "ROOT" entry.
Click "Next >>"

Step 6 - Copy files
 Enter the name of the folder for the recovered files.
Click "Start copying the selected files" to start file retrieval.

Note: Current version (ZAR 8.5) supports digital photo recovery for the following file formats: GIF, JPEG, TIFF, CRW (Canon RAW data), MOV, AVI movie, WAV, CR2 (Canon CR2 RAW format), ORF (Olympus RAW format) and most of the digital camera models.

How To Skip The Rapidshare Download Timer ?

 RapidShare is one such highly popular reliable file hosting service, I have used it many times when ever I wanted to share files with friends. But when it comes to downloading it has some very strict rules that you cannot use download accelerators unless you have a premium paid RapidShare account, another annoying thing which comes across when you download files from RapidShare is the countdown timer. 
 If you are downloading files from rapidshare.com and don’t have a premium account then you have to wait for some time to get the download link, it is very annoying.

Method 1:
If you want to skip the timer follow these steps:

1: Open the rapidshare file link in the browser
2: Click on Free user button, if you don’t have Rapidshare premium account. 

3: This will show you a timer as showing below.


Do you want to kill this timer? Just copy and paste following javascript code into the browser and hit the Enter.


4: It will force the timer to jump to zero and your download will be ready in a second!


Method 2:
Now you can remove the countdown timer from RapidShare by installing addon called RapidShare Download Helper for Google Chrome and Firefox, this addon will not actually remove the countdown timer but will automatically monitor the time limitations and will auto start the download once the timer is completed and download link is available.

It will perform the following two important things for your while downloading files from rapidshare, It will automate the download process for you:
  • auto-detect countdowns
  • auto-start downloads when countdowns are over

convertpdftopowerpoint.com : Website That Converts PDF Files To Powerpoint Presentations

Many instruction manuals and other online reference content are saved as portable document format (PDF) files due to the file's small size and ease of use with the appropriate PDF reading software. Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) slides are frequently used in presentations as a reference point for the speaker. While pages in a PDF file may be relevant to use in a PPT presentation, the original source material might not be available.


Ever imagined you could edit that pdf file and reuse it again? Well, here is an online tool that helps you achieve this. convertpdftopowerpoint.com is an online tool in which we have to upload the PDF files and in return it’ll email the converted files back to us. The site helps you to easily use the unusable information from presentations and edit them in power point. Once the formerly PDF file is converted into an editable form, the user can easily edit the styles, font and other important content. This lets you make changes in former presentations, update information and even copy-paste information from other documents in other formats.


Covertpdftopowerpoint.com is a free service where you can upload your uneditable files, a copy of which is sent to your E-Mail account in editable format. Download the editable file from your account to your PC and here you are, you can easily edit the file. The layout of the PDF file is retained in the newly created Powerpoint presentation. This tool replicates the text and images to the Powerpoint presentation in the same layout as it was in the PDF file.

Convertpdftopowerpoint.com, is useful in converting your pdf file into powerpoint, retaining the original layout (including text and pictures, if any). With this conversion the user can easily edit the information and reuse it.
