S II, Internet Security II


The second section of tips about internet safety, for first part go to I.S.I
  • This tip is most likely familiar,how ever is important to review, when you see an ad that ells you "you've won something huge! 1000th visitor!!!",  yea it's probably a scam. Never fill out your information about the sites you don't know; remember 'is it too good to be free?'
  • Use ad-block software when interfering with unknown sites, especially sites with ads that deliver potentially infected script. They can save you from annoying pop ups, and may protect you from fake link address. However it's not recommenced to use such program regularly for '.com'  websites such as YouTube, if you do they lose money and in long term, their site would not be free anymore.  If you are using chrome go to Google Store and search for your desired program. 
  • And lastly this covers social networking sites; There are lots of spams growing either by "free-ware" or a scare-ware.
    Most of them is like the the fact above, or/and a message from a friend that has an infected browser, which they give you a link that's tempting to click on, most of them will be a harmful cookie installed in your browser, which takes control of your entire social networking account. Always ask them if they sent that link.

P.V.C I

This is the first Pro Versus Con blog post; today's subject is on 'Revo Uninstaller', and Windows based Control Panel uninstaller.

  1. Built in Application 
    • Windows
  • Windows has its application compatible with all of its system of course meaning all 64/32 bit operating systems.It has been pre-installed on every windows operating system; so you don't have to worry about downloading and installing.
  • The applications costs nothing and it is absolutely free.
    • Revo 
  • Revo uninstaller could be downloaded from the internet, it's fast and easy, the application wights about 6~7 mega-bytes. The application  is compatible with All 64/32 bit systems of Windows XP, Vista, 7 and windows 8 system; so if you have an older version or a system not listed above, this program doesn't work for you.
  • The applications comes with free and Pro mode. Free mode restricted.
Winner 1:  Windows 

        2. Application  processing and features 
    • Windows
  • The program loads application quickly, with basic detailed information about the programs. Using the program does not use much of systems resources; The program lists at least 98% the applications installed on your system. 
  • Even though it  shows most if not all of the installed applications, it does not display all of the components, i.e. version or the weight of the application. The program only removes the built in mode of the selected application, meaning only what has been installed would be taken away, all of the other remaining folders, registry files, and extra parts of the application will stay, like temp folders. 
    • Revo
  • The application is more detailed about the information about the installed programs. It also comes with four modes, with moderate being as default; built in at top which is same process as windows based. As you go down the applications' scan would go more in depth. It also has hunter and burn mode where you  could drag folders to be uninstalled. All of these features are included in free mode.
  • Unlike windows uninstaller, this uses more system resource, especially on deep scans, it takes longer to load up, and it lists about 95% of applications, so some of the has to be uninstalled with windows.
Winner 2: Revo.U
Revo modes

  3. After math - Revo

  • Though Revo uses more systems capacity, it's definitely worth it to try the application, if you install programs daily, and maybe want to uninstall them, then it's recommended to try revo. It saves you at least GB of hard drive or in some cases, including me, 5 or more GB. Personally i recommend this program because, you can get rid of annoying ad-wares and potentially spywares off your computer.

Having an anti-spyware/adware is only part of being protected; it's  really based upon your actions that if your system becomes a infected victim or not. Here's some tips of basic that can  help you for a kick-start:
  • There are plenty of Java update fake ware through out the internet, most likely in illegal sites. Do not install them; your computer it self notifies you if there's any update not a random site on the internet. Installing them can be a result of exploit and a backdoor system will be installed in your computer.
  • When you're downloading a program from a third party site, there are probably many adds telling you to download here, but there are most likely a scam, which could bombard you with tons of ads.
