Free Firewall Software

From the time I was connected to the internet at home, I become somewhat little paranoid that someone might be accessing my computer and trying to modify the settings or trying to destroy it. It's because while I'm online some of the registry entries were changed and my computer restarts for no reason. I try to check my computer if there is a virus or spyware but luckily it does not have any kind of malicious code (as far as I know). I check my windows firewall and it always turning off the next time I restart.

So in this situation, I become really suspicious that there is something not right happening with my computer. That's the time that I downloaded a third party firewall software and turned off windows default firewall. The said firewall is the famous COMODO Firewall Pro and it's free. From the time I installed the program, I started to experience much better connection and I'm having an idea on what application wants to access the internet. Try this COMODO firewall pro now to protect your PC. Hope it will help you!

Enabling or Disabling the Registry (regedit.exe)

A friend of mine gave me a script on enabling and disabling the registry tool. This VBS script can be very helpful if you’re infected with a certain virus that blocks the registry. You can unblock it using this VBS Script.

Open your NOTEPAD in windows and paste the following script and save it to your desktop or any place as "REGISTRY.VBS" (make sure to put the double quote to make sure that the file will be saved as .VBS file). Double click this file to toggle from ENABLE to DISABLE or vice-versa.

Dim WSHShell, n, MyBox, p, t, mustboot, errnum, vers

Dim enab, disab, jobfunc, itemtype
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
p = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\"
p = p & "DisableRegistryTools"
itemtype = "REG_DWORD"
mustboot = "Log off and back on, or restart your pc to" & vbCR & "effect the changes"
enab = "ENABLED"
disab = "DISABLED"
jobfunc = "Registry Editing Tools are now "
‘This section tries to read the registry key value. If not present an
‘error is generated.  Normal error return should be 0 if value is
‘present
t = "Confirmation"
Err.Clear
On Error Resume Next
n = WSHShell.RegRead (p)
On Error Goto 0
errnum = Err.Number
if errnum <> 0 then
‘Create the registry key value for DisableRegistryTools with value 0
 WSHShell.RegWrite p, 0, itemtype
End If
‘If the key is present, or was created, it is toggled
‘Confirmations can be disabled by commenting out
‘the two MyBox lines below
If n = 0 Then
 n = 1
WSHShell.RegWrite p, n, itemtype
Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & disab & vbCR & mustboot, 4096, t)
ElseIf n = 1 then
 n = 0
WSHShell.RegWrite p, n, itemtype
Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & enab & vbCR & mustboot, 4096, t)
End If

Hope this script help you!
