How to find a virus from the run command?
Microsoft Command Prompt "attrib" is a very useful tool to check if your hard drives even your flashdisks have been infected by a virus.
You will know if a Malware is inside your hard drive just by looking at the attributes of each files and the file that has the attributes of +s +h +r
The function of attrib is to set and remove file attributes (read-only, archive, system and hidden).
Launch attrib
To start attrib
1. Go to Start Menu > Run
2. Type cmd (cmd stands for command prompt)
3. Press Enter key
The Command Prompt will appear showing us where is our location in the directory.
command prompt showing the current location in the directory
Using attrib
To use attrib
1. Go to the root directory first by typing CD\(because this is always the target of Malware / Virus)
2. Type attrib and press Enter key
after typing attrib, all the attributes of all the files (excluding folders) will be shown
In this example, I have two files that are considered as malware.
Note that there are two files which I outlined in red (SilentSoftech.exe and autorun.inf). Since you cannot see this file nor delete it (because the attributes that was set on these files are +s +h +r)
1. +s - meaning it is a system file (which also means that you cannot delete it just by using the delete command)
2. +h - means it is hidden (so you cannot delete it)
3. +r - means it is a read only file ( which also means that you cannot delete it just by using the delete command)
Now we need to set the attributes of autorun.inf to -s -h -r (so that we can manually delete it)
1. Type attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf ( be sure to include -s -h -r because you cannot change the attributes using only -s or -h or -r alone)
2. Type attrib again to check if your changes have been commited
3. If the autorun.inf file has no more attributes, you can now delete it by typing del autorun.inf
4. Since SilentSoftech.exe is a malware you can remove its attributes by doing step 1 and step 3(just change the filename) ex. attrib -s -h -r silentsoftech.exe
a) I typed the attrib command with the -s -h -r setting b) the result after I pressed enter - autorun.inf has no attributes left
There you have it!!!!
NOTE : when autorun.inf keeps coming back even if you already deleted it, be sure to check your Task Manager by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE ( a virus is still running as a process that's why you cannot delete it. KILL the process first by selecting it and clicking End Process.
NOTE: You can also apply the attrib -s -h -r command to all the partition of your computer, drive D: drive E: drive F: (all of your drives). For example. for drive D, just type "D:" (minus the double quote) then you can see that your current drive is D.. type there the command "attrib -s -h -r *.exe" for exe files and "attrib -s -h -r *.inf" and then delete the file by "del autorun.inf".

What if your Taskbar moves or changes when you're away from your PC?
It shouldn't move by itself. However, to move it back to where you want it, click your mouse on an empty part of the Task Bar and hold the mouse button down while dragging the Task Bar to any side of the desktop.
If it won't move, you need to unlock it first. Right click on an empty spot of the Task Bar and uncheck the box, 'Lock the Taskbar'. Then you can move it. Then check off that box again to keep it from moving around.

Why are drive C missing on windows explorer?
You might have used another user account for installing the software. Some software sets the shortcuts for the user that is logged in when the program is installed. So afterwards, when using another account to login, these shortcuts are not within the startmenue. Try searching the folder "c:\Documents and settings"...

What simple easy email only computer would you recommend for elderly parents?
Computers are rarely simplified to just email functionality these days.
For a Windows based PC, I recommend a VIA system. They are inexpensive, very small and simple desktops usually the size of a tissue box or smaller. Easy to set up, and run windows XP. They can also run Linux.
For Linux based systems, Jack PC by Etherfast makes a microcomputer capable of fitting into the wall like a phone jack. It runs on Windows CE, making it simpler and easier to use, and a 1.2 GHz x86 VIA processor.
Netbooks are now very common for simple mobile laptops, however they may be a bit more complex to use, as most lack a CD-ROM drive, and repair can be very difficult. They are however inexpensive, as low as $150.
Another alternative is to get a computer specifically for the elderly. Once company is working on a PC with an interface designed so that it's very easy to use. It comes with a simplified social network too so that all your relatives can easily share photos, etc. It's Linux based (though nowhere near as complex!) which means that viruses are not common.
