This is little bit of windows hacking when you say you want to shutdown a remote computer on your LAN network, if you are doing it for FUN then its ok.
But let me tell you, this may also cause some potential data loss at the remote computer.
Requirement: You must have administrator rights in order to remotely shutdown a computer.
There are so many times when you see the download window and save to disk window in firefox popping up when ever you download a new file through firefox.
You can simply set the preference in firefox to change the behaviour of both the windows. Go to File Menu>>Tools>>Options–General Tab (see the image below)
When it comes to IT security and privacy almost all companies dealing with computers take it very seriously and implement various types of security rules in outlook.
As a result of these rules you may not be able to send binaries(.exe files) and any ActiveX files (.swf files) via email through outlook.
One of my friend want to send a small size .swf flash file which was a flash game via email with outlook express but the company firewall does not allow him to send a ActiveX file via email because of security policy.
Now a days with the increasing use of portable drives various types of virus infect a large number of system very easily.
One of these common virus is "Hacked by Godzilla Virus" which normally spreads through portable drives etc.
My system got infected with this Hacked by Godzilla Virus and I repaired my system without the help of any antivirus software.
Lets first discuss the common symptoms of the Godzilla Virus.
If your system is infected by this virus you will see the this text "Hacked by Godzilla Virus" in the title at the top of the window of Internet explorer
Some other symptoms:
1. Task manager is disabled.
2. Regedit (Command for registry edit) is disabled.
3. Folder options got disappeared From windows explorer.
4. Double clicking on any of your system drive( c: ,d: etc) initiates a new instance of the virus.
So, you won’t be able to open any of your drive by double click rather you have to open then by right click >> explore.
5. msconfig command is disabled – this virus is not dependent on system startup but it disables the msconfig command used to modify the system startup programs.

Hi , to all the readers of Technix Update , wish you all a happy and a prosperous 2008 ahead.
Technix Update had gone through much up and down in the first half of 2007 ,when I lost almost all the post database of my posts and had to start from the scratch ,but with time it attains new heights both in terms of traffic and readership got PR5 with increased traffic.
I have learned a lot from 2007 will use it in 2008, I will try as much as possible to keep posting about the topics as per readers interest.
Proposed Plan for 2008:
Secure Browsing
What does this mean?
If you have ever done online banking ,paid your house hold utility bills from your internet bank account ,or you may have used your credit card to purchase something from online products websites like ebay etc you may be aware of this term.
Let me ask one more question on this…have you ever used firefox or internet for doing these secure transaction’s.
If your answer is No then its good but, If Yes is your answer then you should know that performing transactions using these browsers is not at all safe as your browser may be used to get your own confidential personal data.
If you are frequent web browser ,a blogger or a freelancer if you are in any web related profession then you must be spending around at least about 1-2 hours on web.
Why open multiple pages at start in mozilla firefox ?
Now every minute of your’s is important so it’s you to decide how you can optimise and speed up your repeated browser activity in order to make the most efficient use of your time .
There are many times when you would want to end a particular process in windows xp for any reason.
Most of the times you are able to end a process in a regular way just by closing the window associated with that program but some times it goes in a hang state called as Not Responding state in windows.
