How to avoid detection by launching a UAC. Exe

Written by Alex February 15, 2011 - 4:28 pm

Every time you download a file from the Internet that receives a marking that identifies it from Windows as a file downloaded and potentially dangerous. So Windows can alert every time you try to launch the file, which can pose a risk. The point lies in those two words - every time. If the downloaded file is an executable that does not need the whole setup becomes quite tedious, especially when under Vista or 7, which also require administrative rights, because in that case the interruption is twice, once for the unknown origin and a time for the usual UAC.

To solve the problem, edit the following registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to make the change or under HKEY_CURRENT_USER touches every user to apply the change only to themselves.

These are the changes to make.

Before the string: Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Download (create it if it exists) which is assigned the value "No" and then a dword value named RunInvalidSignatures be set to 1.

Then go to the key:

Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Attachments

and create a dword value called SaveZoneInformation - set it to 1

Finally, go to the key: Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Associations

and create a string called LowRiskFileTypes - fill it with extensions that do not want the security warning, separated by ";" as in:

As usual, remember that manipulate the registry is dangerous and should be done only if you feel able to correct any errors and disable the security features of Windows may have negative effects.

Email addresses one-off and how to send anonymous email.

Written by Alex January 3, 2011 - 10:37 pm

Sometimes to register on a website you are required to provide an email address. If you know that you will return again and it has only one immediate use, you can use a static one-off, such as those provided by Mailinator . Do not need to register to use the service, just send an email to any address invented for the occasion, type 3egr9owp_2@mailinator.com and then visit the Mailinator site to collect mail. The Mailinator accounts offer no privacy and therefore do not use them for anything private, but offer the advantage that you get any spam that you would receive.

Birth Digital

Written by Alex December 27, 2010 - 12:28 am

With about seven million hits in two weeks, this digital version of the Nativity is a real success:

And 'the nativity story in today's world, told in three minutes by a Portuguese company. Found a hilarious and utterly surreal, with Joseph and Mary, who plan the birth of Jesus using all available technology sites: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, Wikipedia, Google Maps, GMail, Foursquare and Amazon, and set the path for Google Maps to prevent the Romans. Do not miss the Three Wise Men who buy gold over the Amazon and organize their meeting with the iPhone.

    The software Ne.Me.Sys. (Ne Me Twork asurement Sys tem) instead makes sure that the values ​​measured on single phone line correspond to those declared and promised by the operators offering the contract signed by them: the measures of performance networks of individual operators , as detected by the project throughout the national territory and published on the websites of each operator, are the points of reference with which to compare the different offerings in the marketplace.
    In the event that the user finds worse values ​​than as warranted by the operator, the result of this measure constitutes evidence of breach of contract and can be used as a means of protection in order to bring a complaint to request restoration of the minimum guaranteed standards and where they are not re-established levels of quality contract, termination without penalty.
