Block USB Drives Before Infecting PC

Hello,i know you people must be surprised to see this post as this post ideally should have been related to registry part 2..well i know,but i though i would share this post first than the promised one..!! (Donot Worry,i would post the promised post,in this week itself)

can you guess whats this???

[autorun]
open=FolderLock.exe
label=Locked Data
icon=FolderLock.ico


A simple Q to ask,how many of us really care whats there on friends Pen drive before opening the contents he/she gave us?

Most of the people really feel dizzy for the right click-->Scan option when USB is inputed in USB port.

well this really can be dangerous for the user system. More annoying is when user doesn't have anti virus and autorun.ini gets executed and then...!!!


Panda USB Vaccine, a free security solution designed to block malware which spreads through removable drives such as pen drives, CD/DVDs, MP3 players, etc.

When applied on a USB drive, the vaccine permanently blocks an innocuous autorun.inf file, preventing it from being read, created, deleted or modified. Once applied it effectively disables Windows from automatically executing any malicious file that might be stored in that particular USB drive.



Two of its main features include:

1.Computer Vaccination
2.Usb Vaccination


The drive can otherwise be used normally and files (even malware) copied to/from it, but they will be prevented from opening automatically. Panda USB Vaccine currently only works on FAT & FAT32 USB drives. Also keep in mind that USB drives that have been vaccinated cannot be reversed.

Secure Registry Access..!!! (Method 1)

Many of us must have suffered from a problem where in Regedit is Blocked.We get error something like in the picture shown below. I had faced the same issue when i was attacked by brontok some months back.



Once your regedit is disabled, it could be infected by virus and it stops you for accessing it. Also If your folder option is gone, this may also infected by virus one of those viruses is brontok which stops you to accessing system exe files such as regedit.exe, msconfig.exe etc.. once you try to run these .exe's files the virus restart your pc and this make us mad.



Gocch..!! Believe me this attack by brontok was really horrifying..!! He he

Reg2exe is a free and small tool that creates an EXE file from a registration (.reg) file. By executing the exe file, all settings within the reg file will be imported to the the windows registry. There are advantages in using the built-in Windows reg files or the exe file created by reg2exe.



Steps to follow are so simple that even a laymen can follow it.Just download this free tool and run it.Click on the register button and R-click on .reg file and select “convert to exe”.

In my next Post i will be showing a better method than this which i would say requires little more knowledge about System Registry..!! so keep visiting..!!
