Prevent Spread of Viruses Through USB Devices Easy

Along with the increasingly widespread use of flash disks spread of the virus with the offline mechanisms indicate a higher intensity, particularly in Indonesia. The virus from domestic manufacturers more creative in designing a virus with certain tricks to speed up the spread of the virus that they created.


At first the virus will only put the files in the form of a virus program into storage, so each time you connect the flash disk into the computer is infected, the virus will place the folders / files to the flash disk viruses without known owners. This trick sooner or later become easy to detect and suspicious files that can easily be removed by the owner directly.

Then came the name of social engineering techniques (social engineering) where the virus is inserted into the flash disk becomes more difficult to identify by imitating / making the same files and folders with pre-existing and hide the original file, or by creating a file or folder with the name the name that attracted the attention of users, all done with the expectation that users click on a file / folder so that the virus could be active and get into the victim computer.

How to spread a virus that is currently booming is to utilize the autorun feature available on the Windows operating system. This feature is actually really help us who want to directly open / playing files in the storage media immediately. But the virus makers see this feature as the fastest way to help spread the virus. By implanting a virus along with the autorun.inf file that has been written to run a virus file in the root directory of the flash disk, flash every time a user connects to a computer disk that his autorun feature activated, automatically run the virus directly.

To prevent virus spread with the help of autorun feature now you do not have to bother anymore, as did the steps a long and risky settings. Thanks to the portable application from PandaSecurity security company, you can have security on a USB-connected storage, such as Flash Disk in a few clicks only.

Free application called this Vaccine USB Panda (click here to download) have two ways to counteract the spread of the virus through storage media:

1. Computer Vaccination - this application will disable the autorun feature of the computer applying Windows operating system as a whole, so the program / virus that uses autorun.inf file and in the USB / CD / DVD will not be executed / executed automatically. But you can still restore these features to the original state.

2. Vaccination Drive - Virus now can no longer create the autorun.inf file to help its spread. This application will make a special autorun.inf file into the flash disk, where it has been designed so that files can not be replaced, edited, or deleted by the virus. Users also can not delete the file except by doing format.

For the current vaccination facility on a USB device is only valid on storage FAT & FAT32 format, but in the future these applications will be developed to support the NTFS format.

Therefore, make sure the distance between the monitor / CPU with wall / wall of at least 30 cm. If you need to connect the fan in the room.

4. Wear stavolt.Pakailah UPS or UPS for power failure to anticipate the sudden who can cause damage to the hard disk. If he had no UPS, wear Stavolt to anticipate the rise and fall of electric voltage.

5. Shut / close the program who do not use every program loaded or run who need a memory (RAM) so that more-operated programs who consumed more and more memory. This is in addition can cause a slow computer (lelet) also gets heavier workload who can ultimately shorten the life of the component / computer.

6. Install an antivirus program and update regularly To be able to recognize new virus/trojan2 should periodically update the antivirus program.

This is in addition to costs will also cause your hard drive will be damaged faster than if it is not often reinstalled.

7. Clean the Recycle Bin is rutinSebenarnya file / folder delete who we lost indirectly because of the hard drive will be accommodated in the Recycle Bin first was with the intention that someday, if you still need to restore again.

9. Uninstall or remove programs who are not useful, overdose disk space taken up will slow down the read / write drive so that the workload will be heavier so that the disk will be broken.

10. Clean the motherboard and other peripherals from the dust on a regular basis, at least six months this should be done. Open the cover first and then clean the motherboard and other peripherals (RAM, Video Card, Modem, Sound Card, CDR / CDRW / DVRW, TV Tuner) with a soft brush. At the close when the computer is not used a computer (monitor, CPU, keyboard / mouse) with a cover so that dust does not easily fit into a computer.

11th. Connect the ground cable. If the casing nyetrum, take the necessary length of cable, one end connected to the body of the CPU (the casing) while the other end who is planted in the soil. This will neutralize the electrical current can be who "stray" that can make a more durable electronic components.
