What is the best way to protect against keyloggers, monitoring tools, remote access, or whatever it is that allows someone else to access my laptop? ___

History:

Recently, I've had my laptop taken in charge and had to spend the money to have everything removed and reinstalled XP. I don't want it to happen again.

Currently, I installed the following:

  • Ad-Aware
  • SUPERAntiSpyware
  • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
  • Spybot - Search & destroy
  • Command AntiVirus
  • Sygate Personal Firewall

The question:

I'm still not convinced that I am protected. Most likely because I'm not.
An Ad-Aware scan found a tool called "Win32.Monitor.SpyBuddy".
a few days only after reinstalling XP. There are probably more.
I don't know that he even went. It just says: its been "Quarantined" and there is no option to remove it.

Basically, I just want to know that my computer is protected from keyloggers, monitoring, & people tools remote access to my laptop. And I don't want to spend more money.
How to achieve this?  An answer would be GREATLY appreciated.

Do not try to rationalize anything. Just tell you what I know and I hope that I will find the absolute best way to keep keyloggers, tools of surveillance, & virus off my laptop in the process.

You have been very helpful and I thank you.

    What is the best way (and possible) to remix a song mixed

    I have a song that is most often improvised, I was told that his cool, however, re-registration is not possible.

    After reading a lot on the mixture, I now hear where the uneducated choice and errors that I made which explains the sound "not as good" that the song is.

    Before I just jump in and try to undo the settings on the tracks (one is DRUMMER) to return to the raw track before effects/eq/compression ect. is is possible to do?  Opens the unfavorable mix, rename it, save it and just go to work and cancel or disable 'things '.

    The basis of the lean mixture comes even to the root where I 'hot' securities, (orange and red)

  • What is the "best way" to see all the 'hooks' that affect the database?

    Hi all

    I'm responsible for exporting all schemas using the data pump and then re - import the scehmas, yet once so we can reorganize the real table spaces.

    I know that this can be done using grid 12 c, but I'm not sure I want to use this feature for this task.

    Anyone who has used the feature of grids to 'keep the tables' and then re - organize them while they are still online?

    I'll have to finally make it to the PROD database and I am concerned about the "break" out of jobs, items, ect, ect.

    What is the "best way" to do a proper verification of all database objects and or work, that the export/import might pipe upward?

    As I did for example, a simple count on all objects and of course excludes "SYS and SYSTEM" and the County was in close 60 000 objects.

    How do I know all 'hooks' that are inside the database? What is the way that do you?

    Thank you

    I think that's what I'm going the way of...

    Select os_username, username, OWNER, dba_audit_trail SQL_TEXT

    where rownum<>

    where username <> 'SYSTEM '.

    and also have different variations all asking questions them the same point of view...

    Modes of verification do you find useful?

  • What is the best way of reformatting my MacBook ssd for resale?

    I'm preparing my 2015 12 '' MacBook 1.3 GHz 512 for resale.  What is the best way to erase and reformat the SSD drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    -jag

    Before you sell or give away your computer, and more the steps listed in this article to support, please follow these steps:

    1. run the Diagnostics from Apple or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do (or it should), and you won't be surprised by the results.

    2. reset the PRAM and the SMC, which may contain personal information.

    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running the utility in recovery mode firmware password.

    4. If you turn on FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.

    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.

    6. If you have created another partition of data on internal disk, remove them in disk utility.

    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the remaining data partition with the possibility of putting the data to zero. An SSD has no need to be set to zero.

    8. remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it is still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the warranty to the new owner as described in the terms and Conditions AppleCare (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

    Note also:

    You can legally or transfer almost any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. This includes OS X, so if you've switched to OS X 10.7 or later, you need to reinstall an operating system older, either from the installation media, if any, or by commissioning in recovery mode of the Internet (option-command-R start ringing.)

    The new owner will have to re-download everything software that came on the App Store, as appropriate, including updates of OS X, under her Apple ID. If you never updated applications bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) through the App Store, you can not transfer these either. The buyer must buy them. Note that iPhoto has been suspended and is no longer available for purchase.

  • Any transfer on a drive hard new - what is the best way?

    Here's a question simple and straightforward, I hope. I currently have two internal hard drives:

    • C (IDE): OS (Win7), programs
    • F (about three times larger than C, faster, SATA): for most of the multimedia stuff

    (And some external and a dvd burner, which should not be relevant to this question.)

    I ordered a new hard drive, which will take over old job of the F drive. Once I have install and F empty on it, I want to move everything that is currently on C for which is now F and the new C drive I start and run Windows from. (C would also get a new drive letter and would only be used for backup purposes).

    I much prefer this without having to reinstall Windows and all my other programs, and without investing in expensive software of type Ghost I would probably use only once every two years or more. I also prefer not to have to partition F, although I'll do it if necessary.

    What is the best way to do it?

    Windows 7 image and move it to the new hard drive

    The only way to avoid reinstalling programs is in the image of the player. Connect the new drive as a slave (if IDE), then partition the new drive, so it has two partitions (or more if you want) - the last partition being slightly larger, then the amount of data on your current hard drive. Also, make sure that the partition you are moving that Windows 7 is greater, then the current partition is.

    Make now a picture of your current hard drive with either programs below and save it to the last partition on your new drive. If you have the recovery of 100MB partition do not forget to include that. Then restore the image of the partition that you want Windows 7 installed-you put in place the same as long as your current drive, and you may need to remove/change the partitions that you have done.

    Both programs are offered free of charge:

    Remove the old hard drive and see if a new start, if it is not:

  • What is the best way to install the new version--adobe always let things of the old version

    Hello

    I went through the installation of a new version, well... 8 times before. And I noticed that adobe has the bad habit of not properly uninstall previous versions...

    What is the best way to do it?

    Should I do an adobe install and regular confidence this time to remove completely the old version and its associated directories?

    Or should I uninstall the old version and install a new one? I was always afraid to go this route files bocause Organizer.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Because fortunately, most of the Adobe programs can coexist on the same computer, Adobe does NOT overwrite previous versions

    Now, if all uninstall completely from a previous installation, they would first use the uninstaller in Add/Remove programs. Then, a registry cleaner like CCleaner will take care of all that remains there. But wait, there is more!  For example, PrE, will NOT remove existing projects, which many people feel is a great thing. In addition, pre will not delete the preferences file, and this is why it is necessary to reset the preferences, if there are problems, even after repeated uninstalls / reinstalls. They can be removed manually. These two latter features security measures to protect users.

    Good luck

  • What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?

    Hi all

    I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.
