INTRO - Being Defensive

Well, I'm still only defensive!!

24 x 7


The topic and the entire theme of this blog is not self defense of the human body, but its defending the PC 24 x 7 online or offline. I consider it more often a serious issue than an injury to my body bcos it has indeed caused a number of critical mental upsets in me and also indigestion by pondering over what went wrong and how to fix it. I had sleepless days and workless nights - (no mistake made there bcos I'm a night owl) all bcos my PC went wrong somewhere or I dint know what needed to be done when something of such kind happened. This is now just an ongoing problem for me compared to how my system was performing more than a year ago when it was stand-alone and not connected to the internet. So you may very well understand now that I'm not fully defensive. I wish I were Defensive 24 x 7 thereby making it impossible for anything or anyone to hack my machine or do critical damages to my system or spread some infectious process.


Before I ever I got a system, I only had dreams of a system - mostly of how it should look, perform, and then the rest. I wanted a machine that never hung at any time, that never let me down, and never restarted until thats what I can do at last or it should do by itself. But my dream dint come true though I got all branded hardware and even genuine Windows OS. The reason behind my dream was bcos machines I've been working with through the years in offices, what I saw in people's houses, or in a cafe all halted at some point, restarted, or never even woke up after commanding for a reboot. This doesn't need any explanation: Its a machine afterall - it has its own restrictions of what it can do and what more can it do when people dont know how to handle it..? Yea, even humans get a headache very often, then why cant the machine take a break and reboot itself?


I can't be so funny by saying so. It cant do so by itself. Now most Linux freaks say, 'it only happens with Windows.' Now I'm not ready to say that bcos I've not worked much on a Linux machine or an Apple Mac. Leaving all about the OS we are working on, I'm just trying to blog the problems I've been encountering with my system knowing that many of you must be encountering similar problems and even some without knowing what to do in case something of this kind happens.

This page will deal with some possibilities of system malfunction due to Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Spyware, Adware, or all worst possible elements that can hack a system or bring it to a halt or lead to a malperformance.

You can very well post your comments and also place your queries so that myself or someone who reads this can find a solution. Now, as u know there are a lot of forums with experts that give immediate reply. But this is not such a page because even I trust on those forums when things turn out seriously. Here, I'l try to define the problems that I've faced so that You dont either need to face it in future or it may help you to recover if you're facing it. Anyone can actively participate and answer the questions asked by someone on this page either through experience or exploration.
