Things to Remember While Using Public Wi-Fi - Understand Main Security Holes

Now a days the trend in wired network is turned into wireless system. The reason is nothing but it's reliability and simplicity over wired network. Wi-Fi, WiMax are some of  the familiar services  provided by the normal network servers.

Wi-Fi is a wireless technology used to transfer data between electronics devices and to connect to the internet. Most of the mobiles newly entering into the market has inbuilt Wi-Fi facilities.

Wi-Fi network is available for each individual with a price tag depending upon the data you intended to use. The network can be protected using password and is not available to other users. But the Wi-Fi network also can be set as open which is freely accessible by others.

Let me explain with the main security issue associated with connecting your mobile device with Wi-Fi network. 

When a mobile first time connect to Wi-Fi network, a prompt box for saving that particular network either "Home Network", "Work Network", or "Public Network" will show.  If you choose Home or Work network, it has default setting that would share your system files with the other computers on the network.

Selecting public network will not share any files to other devices in the network. So you are completely free from all security holes.

How To Prevent Users Downloading and Installing Software From Internet - TechZilla Firefox

The reason behind posting this article is due to mass request from users who are intended to prevent others from downloading files and software into the PC. Generally none of the PC manufactures gives the option for protecting our system from unwanted downloads and it's our task.

When friends also share your PC, it is quite not possible to do it. But at the same time you have to allow them to do other jobs like surfing, chatting etc in the same PC. At these circumstances you can choose a better tool named Folder Guard. 

Why choose Folder Guard to Prevent?

1. Folder Guard can hide your personal folders and prevent it from other users.
2. Folder Guard can lock access to the USB, CD-ROM and other removable drives.
3. Folder Guard is suitable for a wide range of computer security tasks.
4. Folder Guard protects your files without encrypting them and prevent any damage.
5. Folder Guard lets you quickly enable or disable the protection via a "hot key".
6. Folder Guard runs on a wide range of Windows platforms.
7. Folder Guard "speaks" plain English.
8. Folder Guard works with drives of any format.
9. Folder Guard can operate in "stealth mode".
10. Folder Guard can password-protect and restrict access to file folders.

How to Stop Downloading From Internet Using Folder Guard

1) Download Folder Guard (Use Paid Version or Free Version).

   

2) Once the download completed, choose View – Filters command and then Filter – New command to start creating a new filter.

3) Now select Apply to files box to specify which files this filter should apply to. For instance if you choose*.bat format, further downloading of files from internet in this extension will be impossible.

4) If it’s a new filter you've just created, you will be prompted to enter a name for the filter do it.

5) Now move it to the top list and assign it as Read-only attribute. A small “binoculars” icon should appear in front of the filter:

6) At this stage Folder Guard is set Enable the Protection and hardly try to download anything from internet will result in display error message .

If you need to download from internet, simply Pause the protection from the menu (No restart is required). Also installing from CD/Removable disk will be ineffective here. 

If you want the users to be able to run programs from the removable drives while the filter is in effect, you need to create another filter that would specifically allow full access to the executable files located on the removable drives.

See: How to change the Start Screen Background of a Windows 8 OS

Once you applied the Registry tweak, users will not be able to customize or change Start Screen. It also prevent others from drag-n-drop items as well as access the context menu options for any item in Start Menu or Start Screen.

For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, it restrict users from pinning, unpinning, moving, uninstalling, resizing and grouping tiles on Start Screen. But they are free to launch any Apps or any functions.

Steps to Prevent Custamization of Start Screen Layout

1) Type regedit in Run box, and hit Enter. It will open Registry Editor 

2) Now select below path from left navigation bar

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion   \Policies\Explorer

3) Create a DWORD NoChangeStartMenu and set its value to 1

4) That's all, to make the necessary effects restart your Windows. Now your Start Screen is fit to no customization and not changeable.

Note: If you are not like to change the Windows os registry, you can run direct the Script file. Download the Zip file from Microsoft , extract it and run Script to restrict users from changing your Start Screen Layout of Windows os.
