Dec 02, 2008 | 2 Comments

This tutorial is for beginner-intermediate users, where you are going to learn some common tips about working by Emails such as security tips and performance tips about checking Emails and sending Emails. These tips help you to keep your private data safe.

1) Check your Emails just in trusted places

  • If it is possible, never check your Email in public places such as internet saloons, offices, colleges, and so on Because it is possible that another one looks at your keyboard to discover your password!
  • If you want to check your Email in public places, be careful about password remember check box and always leave it unchecked. Just as like as the pictures below (Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo are some services that provide a password remember): Gmail Remember password check box Leave Remember password check box unchecked
  • Be careful! Mirrors are able to tell your private data to others! So, check the mirrors positions around you.
    Note: Many people have lost their private data because of mirrors and other glossy objects like pots!

      2) Have two types of Emails

  • If it’s possible, have two types of Emails, once as a formal address and another one as an informal address. Make your formal ID using your real name and family name and make your informal Email using your unreal name and family name.
  • It is a good idea to have two types of Emails for different goals. For example if you are a teacher, you can give your formal Email to your students, schools, collages, universities and so forth. You can also give your informal Email to web sites that you want to join there, or use it to leave a feedback in web pages, which your Email is needed for leaving feedback there.
  • When you give your informal Email address to others, they can not find your name and surname in your Email address (like: flower2000@gmail.com) and when you give your formal address to others, they will be able to see your real name and surname in your Email address (like: patrick.anderson@gmail.com)

      3) Have the best settings for your account

  • If your Email service lets you; try to have a secondary Email.
  • Feel sure that you are using a security question. Read more here.
  • As you know when you insert your name and surname, after sending an Email to someone, he or she will be able to see your name and surname that you have written them in your account settings. So, to apply the tip number 2, write a virtual name and family name as your informal Email account and your real name and family name as your formal one.
  • Use strong passwords. It is recommend to have a long password that contains digits and letters. For example: 1password2loging, stay4updating2posts, jack2546school215, and so forth. Read More

Identify Trojan folders!

Dec 01, 2008 | 0 Comment

In this quick tip I am going to tell you an important tip about Trojans.

Since we have two types of icons, files and folders, the users never anticipate to have an executable file when they click on an icon that appears like a folder. But some Trojans appears like the folders. So, although the users click on these types of icons to see the content, but a program runs and this program will be a Trojan on your computer that will infect your computer. What a disaster!

Well, although you can right click on every folders to see the type of folders, but it’s really boring to do.

I suggest another way to identify this type of Trojan files. Since folders have no extensions, you should be able to file extensions to be able to identify Trojan files.

Just follow these steps:

  • Open My computer
  • On the menu bar click Tools -> Folder Options…
  • On view tab under Advanced settings category, find Hide extensions for known file types and leave it unchecked.

Well, now you are able to see every files extensions. Well, if you see a folder icon that has an .exe extension, it would be a Trojan!

Compare:

*) This type of Trojans with invisible extension: (As you see, there is no difference for view of this Trojan and other folders)

Trojan with invisible extensions

*) This type of Trojans with visible extensions:

Trojan with visible extension

Good Luck!
