Restarting Windows Without Restarting Your PC

Sometimes, you need to reboot Windows (e.g. when installing new software), but there is no need to restart BIOS, too. However, the default is to reboot both. (That’s called doing a “cold boot,” rather than a “warm boot.”) There’s a trick that works on both XP and Vista to get it to do a warm boot instead, thus saving you 30 seconds per cycle.

The trick is to hold down the SHIFT key when invoking the restart.

Windows XP: Select Start. Select “Shut Down…”. Change the drop-down combo box under “What do you want the computer to do?” to “Restart”. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the “OK” button.

Windows Vista: Select Start, then hover over the right arrow that is to the right of the padlock icon until the pop-up menu appears that contains “restart” as one of it’s choices. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the “restart” choice.

HOW TO AVOID MOBILE VIRUS

More in the news today about the source code for a Symbian based virus which spreads over Bluetooth. It’s availability is expected to make the virus more common among Smartphone users) Things like this are frustrating because you have to wonder what it is these virus writers are trying to achieve.

When it comes to Windows on your desktop, virus releases usually exploit gaping vulnerabilities in the OS, but when it comes to infecting a Symbian Smartphone, the success of an infection attempt depends entirely on the user; if the OS did any more to stop the virus installing itself, it would render the Smartphone locked down in the same way Microsoft Smartphones are, not letting you install anything that has not been approved by the ‘Powers that Be’.

The good news is that at the moment, being safe from a Symbian virus is as easy as not doing anything, and it’s what you’re not doing that will keep you safe…

Keep your Bluetooth switched off. Windows viruses come over the internet but the current bunch of variations on the cabir virus comes over Blue tooth. You can use software such as Extended Profiles from PsiLoc to turn your Bluetooth on and off according to the time of day, so maybe you can use that to only have Bluetooth active when you’re driving, for instance.

If you don’t want to keep your Bluetooth off, make sure you can’t be discovered. You can do this in the Bluetooth settings by changing ‘My Phone’s Visibility’ to Hidden.

If you want to remain visible, or discoverable, then don’t accept messages from strangers. If you’re on the train and your phone tells you that there’s an incoming connection, reject it every time. Don’t go looking for the evil offender who cunningly tried to send it to you, however, since the chances are that they don’t know what their phone is doing.

If, though, you want to receive a file from a stranger (some innocent fun can be had by sending and receiving funny pictures to and from strangers in public places – keep it clean , then check the file before opening it. If the name of the file ends with .sis, DELETE IT! The chances of a stranger sending you an innocent application at random are very slim and so if they’ve sent you an installer (which a .sis file is), it is very likely to be a virus.

If you’ve accidentally opened the file, just cancel the install when you’re warned about it’s security. Symbian Smartphones are very careful about security and will hold your hand all the way through an install process for new software – the only thing it won’t do is force you to not install it.

So, as you can see, you can make it impossible for your Smartphone to become infected. Here alone, you can see the steps you can take to make a virus’ life difficult.

Ultimately, nothing can be installed onto your Smartphone without your permission so, unless you’re in the process of installing some software, reject everything that tries to install.

For extra peace of mind, you can install anti-virus software onto your phone (see online shops such as Handango for a number of available applications – but keep away from TSG Phone Safe though), but ultimately, your Smartphone’s security is only as strong as the weakest link.

NEW EMAIL VIRUS

Be Alert !… Newly breed of virus is here….

Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!

If you get an email along the lines of ‘Osama Bin Laden Captured’ or ‘Osama Hanged’, don’t open the attachment.

This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel

Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:

You should be alert during the next days:
Do not open any message with an attached file called ‘Invitation’  regardless of who sent it.

It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which ‘burns the whole hard disc C of your computer.

This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts.

It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it.  If you receive a mail called ‘invitation’, though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately.

This is the worst virus announced by CNN,  it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.

This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus.

This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.
