Manually Remove a Virus from PC or USB

If you are tired of sitting and waiting for your anti-virus software to remove the new virus infection, the steps below are for you. No programming skills are required! Just a basic knowledge of command prompt syntax will do…for this demo, the virus is on the portable USB drive (e:\virus) named virus.vbs

how to manually delete the virus

  1. Create a back-up. Safety comes above all else. Save your files on removable storage or on another partition aside from the Windows drive.
  2. Run the Windows command prompt. You can run the Windows command prompt by either clicking on the Start Menu\All programs\Accessories\Command Prompt or by pressing Windows + R on the keyboard and typing “CMD.”
  3. Look for the directory or folder where the virus resides. Go to the folder where the virus is hiding. Its usually resides on the Windows temporary folder or on the Windows system folder. Check partitions and drives for viruses, e.g. type “cd e:\virus”
  4. Show the hidden virus and remove its attributes. It will be easier if you can see the virus. Remove the virus attributes, which are read only, archive, system file, and hidden file. e.g. type “attrib -r -a -s -h virus.vbs”
  5. Delete the virus. Say goodbye to the virus by deleting it, e.g. type “del virus.vbs”

Today i had a problem with my CD Rom, When i check the Status in Device Manager it says

Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)

Save your ContactForm from Bots!

This time I’m going to help all Developers. protecting your Contact Form from Spam Bots or Robots. They abuse the Contact Form by sending spam mails or any other way. Fortunately there are individual methods of slowing them down.

The Anti-Spam Question

You can simply change the Anti Spam Question.

Here’s the scripting:

<?php

// To mitigate the possibility of user errors, eliminate case-matching issues

$posted_var = strtolower($posted_var);

$answer = strtolower($answer);

// If $posted_var doesn’t match $answer

if($posted_var != “$answer”) {

// Return an error or give value to a feedback/output variable

}

?>

Regulating Input Lengths

I Recommend, limit the number of characters the user is able to provide in any given input.

Here’s the scripting:

<?php
    // If the $posted_var is greater than sixty characters…
if(strlen($posted_var) > 60) {
    // Return an error or give value to a feedback/output variable
}
?>

There are many more Methods, This is the 2 Method that I usually use.
