IE7 File>New Tabs, Save and Tab disabled..

OK, I could do away with the tabs, but then that is all that mattered when I upgraded to IE7.

All of a sudden the tabs disappeared and was left wondering what went wrong. No simple solutions from googling worked this time.

Alas it occured to me!  A quick try to find some malware helped me. NOADWARE software worked its charm and killed one W32.Mydoom worm. Again went back to IE Tool>I. options>TAB Settings—reset to default.

Try first, if at all anything goes unsual with your Windows XP.

No!, NOADWARE people do not pay me

Welcome!

VistaDrive.exe !?

Many people including myself find the VistaDrive.exe sitting in the background application service of their Task Manager. Many believe this is a virus, others a spyware, but I believe it is a dumb dodo like application annoying and bothering many who dont remember why and where this application came from.

A detailed search in registry found me this uninstall string.

(copy and paste command below in Run command box of windows)

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\WINDOWS\INF\Vdrive.inf,uninstall

Seems this software is developed by one KelCorp Software co.

On googling ‘KelCorp’ found this -

It is an XP Disk Drive Icon to Vista Drive icon replacement program
which IMHO doesnt do much good. Best to get rid of !

Basic Steps to secure your wireless router and network..

Incidents of Unsecured Wireless Routers at Residences and Colleges being misused for sending out Terror E-mails and stealing useful data esp. financial are on rise every day.

Many of us use Wireless Routers at our homes for Personal Broadband connections. The devices get configured in an unsecured mode by default and may thus be misused easily. The wireless signals may be accessible for upto 60-70 ft outside your premises and any person within this range can potentially break into your network.

A few essential practices for securing your router are as listed below. The actual process of setting these options will be different for routers of different makes and you will need to refer to documentation specific to your model for configuring these.:

1. Change the default Password for your Wireless Router. Most routers have a factory set username of admin and a similar password. Please change the password.

2. Enable Wireless MAC Address Filtering, also known as Access Lists. Please permit access only to the MAC addresses of yours and your family members’ devices. Deny access for other devices.

3. Set “Disable SSID Broadcast”: This ensures your SSID (network name) is not visible to unauthorized users.

4. Enable WPA or WPA2 Encryption (Wireless Protected Access). In case this is not supported, please use WEP: Set a good passphrase and never share it with others.

5. Keep the wireless router away from exteriors of your residence and turn it off when not in use.
