How to protect your computer from hacking?

There are many ways to hack  not only through the TCP/IP cracking  but some hackers
are using the API programming and some are using a programming language like VB
or Delphi or any others and they will work in the Windows environment  and since most
of you are using Windows then you have to know that you are using a non secure OS.

Now the first thing to do is to secure your PC  for such a thing  do the following:

* DO NOT EVER test any file that you got from the net or from any other person
(even if he is your friend or even if he gave it to you in a disk) in the PC that you
are using for browsing the Internet  (what I mean is  it is better to have two PC's
and use the old one to test the files only).

* Use the last Anti-virus you can ever get  or if you want you can get the most
updated site for scanning the viruses and the hacking program in your PC  try this
 link: http://housecall.antivirus.com/and click on Scan Now on the left side under the
HouseCall option and once you get the names of the hacking files if any  just write
them in a piece of paper.

* Check your PC if there is any hack file in it for example search for any of these files
 (after you allow the hidden files to appear in any folder):

patch.exe;patch.ini;NBsvr.exe;NBHelp.dll;server.exe;UMG32.EXE;windll.dll;Shell.exe;
BO2K.exe;Expl23.exe;nameofthe.exe;windll.exe;nnsx.exe;Bg10.exe;exec.exe;
Explo32.exe;Fsat.exe;rundl l16.exe;Task_Bar.exe if you found any of them especially
 under the Windows or Windows\system directory then read the rest of this message.

* Right click on the Network Neighborhood icon  and choose properties then remove
 the last icon (file and printer sharing)

* there is a bug in the IE5  regarding the DHTML  so go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/security/dhtml_edit.asp

also remove the AutoComplete option from IE5 and regarding the cookies  it is better
to go to tools ,,, Internet Options ,,, and in the security tab click on Custom level and
choose (prompt) for both cookies options  also use the windows update to fix the bugs
in the Java VM

* you also have to know that many sites are not trusted  so don't feel that free in
downloading any file from the Internet. Now you have to check if your system is safe
or not so do the following :

Click (Start) and choose (Run) and type (regedit) and click (OK) Click on the (+) sign
 that is next to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that you will get some other subfolders  anyway  go to this folder:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version.

Now click on a subfolder called (Run)  in the right screen you will find two main columns  Name and Data,

* If you find in the Data section only "" then right click on the related name and choose (Delete)

* If you find in the (Name) section any of these files:

patch.exe,NBsvr.exe,UMG32.exe,Explorer32,nnsx,MsManager,Shell.exe,Bg10.exe,
exec.exe or any strange file name OR  if you find in the (Data) section any of these paths :

C:\Windows\Expl32.exe,C:\Windows\nameofthe.exe,
C:\Windows\windll.exe,C:\Windows\system\nnsx.exe

Then right click on that Name or the related Name of the path and choose (Delete).

Do the same method for any folder that starts with (Run)like (RunServices) or (RunOnce) etc

That was for the registry section  now go to the win.ini and open it. If you find in the first lines any of these values :

Load=xxxx.exe or run=xxxx.dl OR Load=xxxx.dll

then remove them (xxxx is the file name mostly will be rundll16 OR Task_Bar) and save the file.

Now go to the system.ini and open it.In the fifth line you will find :

shell=Explorer.exe

But if you have been hacked  it will be shell=Explorer.exe xxxx.exe OR shell=Explorer.exe xxxx.dll

so  modify it to be only :

shell=Explorer.exe and save the file.

* Now restart your PC in the (Safe Mode) and delete any of these files.
