-Onward Securing User Access Control (UAC)
Doing these simple steps will add Password Prompting to ANYTHING being Changed or Installed on an alert users Computer System, stopping most any Malware or Virus.
Many Websites love installing crap that steals / Hijacks your address book and then use YOUR Email pop account to Spam their Viagra or whatever crap they are pushing,. Or worse, slow your connection to a crawl. That will get your ISP to shut your Net down if Spamming from your email pop account or, they can even destroy your system.
This Quick (6min) Walk-Thru of HOWTO secure your Windows ‘User Access Control’ (UAC) from Viruses and Malware installing CRAP without your Knowledge is a big effort in stopping Jerks who get off on doing malicious @#&@*!@!!!
MAKING WINDOWS UAC MORE SECURE
In this 6 minute tutorial, you learn how to beef up the UAC security by making it ask for a password instead of just ‘yes/no’. While this is more of a nuisance than UAC already is, this will give you more security in the end. And also, you a little something extra that you might want to know as well. And during the video, you don’t see the UAC prompts like you should. For some reason the recorder doesn’t capture that.
This tutorial does not show you how to disable UAC, though it is fairly easy to do it. Just reverse it!
This works for:
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 Enterprise
Does not work for:
Windows 7 Home

To give you an Idea of How Easy it is for a Malicious Site Owner to grab your REAL IP and Probe it for holes, I’ll give you the brief outline.
The most common way is.. They create a “ShortURL” commonly Bitly, TinyURL etc.. That short URL points to THEIR server first which contains a blank screen HTML with a PHP script inside that snags your real IP, email address, browser type and whatever else it can without setting off any alarms. It then logs it to a folder on their server for later. 10′s of 1000′s can be harvested in a day.
Then the PHP redirects you to the main site they innocently advertised as if nothing happened. The quick STOP OVER was behind the scenes. After a day or so… They grab all those Logged REAL IPs and load them into a Sniffer and it probes through them all for open shares, ports etc. And you’d not believe how many ways there are to get at your Goodies!
Here’s some excellent addons I use within Firefox that prevents that.
https://adblockplus.org/en/firefox
http://www.ghostery.com/
http://noscript.net/
Those AddOns Not ONLY alerting to harmful Scripts but..
NO MORE Youtube Commercials or Banners Anywhere EVER!
Unless you WhiteList that Domain within the AddOn
Another great tip!
Virtual Private Network (VPN). Just Google “Free VPN service” for answers to that.
I use https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ $6.95/mo There are MANY Others.
The Free ones ar rather slow and sometimes hard to find a good one.
A VPN will Mask your Real IP and you can appear from most anywhere. Remember all those warnings about using Torrents and ISPs potentially cancelling you? Well, this will stop that from Happening, You can Torrent 24/7 as long as you’re on the VPN.

Another great tip for those with Dynamic (changing) IPs is www.no-ip.com. You can create a C-Name and that will never change no matter what your IP changes to. It will always come to your C-Name, FTP, or Webserver.. Via the No-IP Tiny Applet you have installed updating your location and connecting it to your chosen C-Name. A C-Name is like http://Spoof.Website.org – “Spoof.” prior to the domain of ‘Website.org” is the “C” of the C-Name.
NEXT MUST TIP!

The FBI has Strongly Recommended that
All Users Immediately Download and Disable Windows’
Universal Plug n’ Play Support Here
Also, Disabling Administrative Shares is ALWAYS a Good Idea!
For (Vista/Windows7)
Click Start—>Run type regedit click ok (Or, Hold Windows Start Key and “R” Key to Open)
For vista users Enter your UAC credentials to continue.
Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch.
Open the SYSTEM branch.
Open the CurrentControlSet branch.
Open the Services branch.
Open the LanmanServer branch.
Select the Parameters branch.
Select Edit, New, DWORD (32-bit) Value. Vista & Windows 7 adds a new value to the Parameters key (If you have the key just check for correct value).
Type AutoShareWks and press Enter. (You can leave this setting with its default value of 0.)
Restart Windows to put the new setting into effect.
That about covers it! I would also recommend making sure your WIreless Router Admin page usuallyhttp://192.168.0.1 has the default password changed. I can gain access to at least 20 computers in 10minutes using AngryIP harvesting IPs and then looking up the Router’s default login pass that they never changed. BE SURE and add security on your wireless as well!
If you are Seriously PARANOID.. Use TrueCrypt! It is UnCrackable! Read more [Here FBI Fails] .
They can hammer away for Years and never have access to your Physical Hard Drives. That is not saying they’ve hacked it already online but, they’ll never get the physical Hard Drive decrypted if they ever confiscate it! That pass is not available as long as you never share or type it ANYWHERE EVER after initial boot up. [TrueCrypt Home]
FYI: I offer remote setup and repair as well.
You watch while I work and explain it to you on the phone.
Here’s a Testimonial from Marcia in Canada
Marcia in BC Canada Writes: Published on Mar 15, 2013
She has 30 yrs experience and is out of work. She will do what ever you need, from web hosting to designing computer. Our oldest computer has never been faster since she worked her magic. We are really happy about what she did. We have had others work on the old dinosaur and they all made it worse and you made it better. Every file that was recoverable has been recovered.

Bonus Tips:
BSD, etc. w/Apache users – Stopping a Synflood.. Add this line in the rc.local:
echo “1″ > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
Minimizing DDOS / Denial of Service Attacks. This helps if not an EXTREME Attack:
set Max req perchild and max clients at 500. Then it will kill the connections before the denial attack does anything.
This only works with ISP level script Kiddies and up to maybe a 100 or so of their buddies attacking.
As long as your server is Co-located somewhere Kick-Ass on Many Multiple Backbone.. It would take major Power to choke up your Box!

ROB in Australia Writes: Published on Mar 10, 2013 She fixed both of my computers. It is amazing. I am totally stoked. You rock. I completely trust her too. And I learned a lot in the process. Thank you very much. I am forever grateful. I hope you receive the gift I sent you soon. Even my windows 8 machine is running better. She deserves a break. I thought I knew about computers. But compared to her I realize I know very little. Else I wouldn’t have had all the problems I’d been having. I am in awe of her skill. Marcia is spot on in this vid and I couldn’t have said it better. She is an inspiration. Everyone should help each other. If you have computer problems. Just ask her. And if possible give back a little something for her kindness and great skill. Love your work!
I want to help you. You helped me. Just knowing you was enough. You helped me before You even fixed my computer.
I even commented on the youtube vid. I fully endorse you. Just shared the link to my wall.
I hope everything works out for you and life gets better. I know what it is like to have tough times

Wouldn’t it just be easier to switch to Linux?
I run VMWARE and have (sec counting) 12 different O/S’s installed.
When I do get a job, I can run that O/S within Vmware and create the problem at home before heading to the scene to fix it.
I hated Windows years ago when it came out. I ran my system thru Oblivion/2 BBS hooked to my local college for Usenets access before there was an Internet.
I do like Linux but, Win7 Ult allows my to run everything within a sand box. You do need a Nice System though to handle it. I custom built this one 4yrs ago and it still blows away all the Bottle Caps they are pushing to the public.
