Lately, I was told by my friend how to do that, so when our external drive like flashdisk or external HD is plugged into USB or E-sata ports with infected computer, that virus can’t duplicate itself into external drives.

1. Make a new folder into your external drive
2. Name it with autorun.inf

Now, let’s see if the virus can infect your external drive or not. So, my friend do an experiment about that. He now make new text document, and make sure first that you “uncheck hide extensions for know file types” in folder option -> view.

Then, rename it with autorun.inf and try to click enter. This is going to happen if you try to click enter/ make it. So, I can make conclusion like this, if a virus try to infect your external drive/ USB flashdisk, it will not happen, because there is another file that already used that name, a file folder with autorun.inf name.

Want to try? Except the virus can generate another file name than autorun.inf, but I think no virus maker never think like that, or am I wrong?

Well, this issue is a classic problem with new blogger that want to make blog and make some money from internet. Here is my guide to help you guys:

1. Make your blog with full-english language. This is basic term to be accepted, except google support your language.
2. Make sure your blog/ site is not in under construction. Google won’t accept a demi-blog, this is business, you know what I mean? be serious.
3. Make sure your blog do not contain any pornography and sexual explicit and whatever like that, you don’t need Adsense to earn money if your blog contain any sexual-things. You will get more gold from your content, right?

Nowadays, computer viruses are making people frustated. Data lost, hang, slowpoke performance, and error message are some “signs” that your computer is infected by viruses, not always, but often. So, now you are using an anti virus. But again, your computer still get infected, where’s the problem? I have to tell you, anti virus doesn’t guarantee your computer is free from threats like viruses and so on problems, they just help you to become more aware to threats like that. So now, the problems are inside you, here’s some tips from my experience about viruses, hope that these can help you.

1. If you install antivirus program, make sure it’s up to date
2. Recently, many viruses come with auto play action, so disable your auto play feature can help you to prevent these kind of viruses, but I don’t disable it, because I always cancel it, if you never use this feature like me, click cancel button is enough, if you do like I do, you don’t need to disable auto play, just click cancel
3. You have an antivirus, so use it. Always scan any removable disks that plugged into your computer
4. I recommend you use windows explorer instead do double-click at removable disks, it’s more secure
5. Reveal extension for known types, this can be done with just a bit change. Just go to control panel or my computer or whatever, just open a window, from menu click Tools –> Folder Options –> View tab –> uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. This can reveal file extensions for known types, for example in an application you will see .exe or in Microsoft Word documents you will see .doc after the filename, like filename.exe and filename.doc. With this way, you can see wether the file is virus or not, for example you see a file with MS Word icon, but the filename is filename.doc.exe, see the different? You will see .exe, it’s an application, not a MS Word document file format or you see a folder icon but the name is folder_name.exe, or right-click the folder or file and click properties, you can see their type, folder is folder and .exe is application
6. Turn on system restore for system partition, just some viruses can be inactive when you restore your computer to previous time before you got “present”. After you restore it, see what happen, if the virus is inactive, update your antivirus and scan your computer, the virus is still reside in your computer, but not activated yet
7. If virus has been activated in your computer, scan first before you use system restore, but in safe mode. When the computer start, press F8 button and choose “Safe Mode” and log in with administrator account
