How to save PC from Ransomware virus

As with other attacks, you can work to avoid ransomware. Experts advise taking these steps to avoid attacks or protect yourself after an attack:
  1. Use Always reputable antivirus software and a firewall. Maintaining a strong firewall and keeping your security software up to date are critical. It’s important to use antivirus software from a reputable company because of all the fake software out there.
  2. Always update your anti-virus ,scan full scan your PC
  3. Back up often. If you back up files to either an external hard drive or to an online backup service, you diminish the threat, says Eisen. “If you back up your information, you should not be afraid to just turn off your computer and start over with a new install if you come under attack.” Eisen backs up his data regularly, so every six months, he simply restores his computer’s system to default and starts afresh. “I would highly recommend it,” he says.
  4. Enable your popup blocker. Popups are a prime tactic used by the bad guys, so simply avoid even accidentally clicking on an infected popup. If a popup appears, click on the X in the right-hand corner. The buttons within a popup might have been reprogrammed by the criminals, so do not click on them.
  5. Exercise caution. Don’t click on links inside emails, and avoid suspicious websites. If your PC does come under attack, use another computer to research details about the type of attack. But be aware that the bad guys are devious enough to create fake sites, perhaps touting their own fake antivirus software or their de-encryption program.
  6. Disconnect from the Internet. If you receive a ransomware note, disconnect from the Internet so your personal data isn’t transmitted back to the criminals, says Eisen. He recommends simply shutting down the computer. If you have backed up your data, you can re-install software. If you don’t feel comfortable doing so or you are unable to start fresh, you may need to take your computer to a reputable repair shop, says Eisen.
  7. Alert authorities. Ransomware is a serious form of extortion. “Local police are probably not equipped to deal with this,” explains Siciliano. “However, the local FBI would want to know about it.”
8.       Don’t be tempted to give in and pay the ransom, warns Siciliano. “Paying them would be a mistake because they will further extort you and most likely not release your information.” Taking precautions to protect your information and maintaining vigilance are the best solutions to avoid becoming a victim in the first place.
9.       Copy your data multi location,like google drive, on mail,host drive ,

Mobile Device Review Framework

  Performance benchmarks that matter most Real-world performance testing goes far beyond just looking at processor speeds and RAM numbers. When conducting mobile phone reviews, focus on benchmarks that reflect how users actually interact with their devices daily. Start with multitasking scenarios - open 10-15 apps simultaneously and switch between them rapidly. Time how long each app takes to reload from memory. Premium smartphones should keep multiple apps active without constant refreshing, while budget devices might struggle after 5-6 apps. Gaming performance reveals thermal management capabilities. Run graphically intensive games for 30-minute sessions while monitoring frame rates and device temperature. Note any throttling that occurs - many devices start strong but slow down significantly as they heat up. Storage speed impacts everything from app launches to photo processing. Use tools like AndroBench or 3DMark to measure sequential read/write speeds. Modern flagship phones s...

OSI MODEL (Open Systems Interconnection model )

To Day I Explain OSI MODEL,   Open Systems Interconnection model  ( OSI ) is a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communication system by partitioning it into  abstraction  layers. The model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection project at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), maintained by the identification ISO/IEC 7498-1. The model groups communication functions into seven logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. For example, a layer that provides error-free communications across a network provides the path needed by applications above it, while it calls the next lower layer to send and receive packets that make up the contents of that path. Two instances at one layer are connected by a horizontal connection on that layer.  The Below Shown Diagram is helpful to understand the OSI seven Layer Model. OSI MODEL EXPLANATION Th...

Networking Colour Code Scheme

I Post Network Colour Code Here and Some image add in In the 21st Century Everyone Use INTERNET and they face networking problem with the chosse wrong network cable. Many Company, Engineers, Mostly Cyber Cafe and Shops of Photocopy. Here you get the solution how to choose correct wire for network. Network Cable : Colour Code : For connecting Category 3 and Category 5 wire to connectors. Both are appropriate for high speed data, though 568B is somewhat more common for installed wiring and 568A is more common in jumpers. There is no performance advantage either way. The only real difference between the two is the order in which the pairs are used (orange and green). a cable as if to plug it into a wall jack, the locking tab down (contacts facing you). The contacts are numbered 1-8 from left to right. Here's what you will see: Colour Code for 568b: (Male Connector) 1. Orange white/orange 2. Green white 3. Blue/ Blue white 4. Green 5. Brown White/Brown ...
