Are you in mood of playing some prank with your friend’s PC ? Then try out this tutorial. It’ll definitely help you.

If you have some time to sit on the victim’s machine, then you can make this thing more effective. Why not disable the ability to right click on the desktop? I know I’m getting a bit evil but this is what a prank is.

To disable the ability to right click on the desktop, open Start > Run and type ‘regedit’. The registry editor would pop up. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersionPolicies\ Explorer. Now either modify or create a new DWORD named ‘NoViewContextMenu‘ and set the value data to 1. Now, exit the registry editor and restart the computer to allow the changes to take effect. To enable the menu again, set it’s value to 0.

This way the person won’t be able to even right click. You can even disable the Windows key. But I won’t show you how because that’ll make me a devil.

Hey! Don’t be that harsh. The person would surely go berserk after this. After having some fun, make sure you fix his machine. Otherwise he might get totally baffled.
Have fun!

New viruses emerge out daily and with the help of internet, it is really easy for these to travel from one PC to another. If you are having trouble getting rid of these nasty viruses, then try these tips:

1. Install a good AV and get the latest updates: This should be your first step if your PC has some virus infection. Choosing a good anti-virus is a must and keeping it updated is also very important. New threats keep on emerging and if you don’t update your software, you’ll be in a trouble. This is especially true if you access the internet through your machine.

If you take my advice on a good anti-virus, I’ll suggest you to go for Kaspersky. It’s light on system resources, efficient in removing viruses and guards your PC really well. Other main competitors in the market are Symantec and Mcaffee.
Also make sure that your anti-virus carries the latest updates as they’ll ensure you good protection from new threats.

2. Scan It: After updating your software, do a normal system scan. Mostly, viruses get into your root directory ie. C:/ in most cases. Doing a system scan in Safe Mode would be the best option. I’m preferring safe mode here as in safe mode only minimal processes are executed. So the chance of a virus hiding in a system process gets reduced.

To boot into safe mode, turn on your PC and press the F8 key as soon as you see the BIOS screen or the first screen. Moving ahead you’ll get the option to boot into safe mode. Now scan your Windows in safe mode. Delete all the viruses your anti-virus detects. Get back to your normal Windows and check if the virus is disturbing you again or not.

If you are unable to scan your system for any reason, then you might wish to get your system scanned online. Nowadays you have the ability to cure your PC through an online scan. Kaspersky and Bitdefender are some of the online virus scanners.

3. Try rescue disks or a DOS anti-virus: You might have seen ‘Create a rescue disk‘ option in your anti-virus program. Most of the anti-virus softwares provide users with this feature. Try getting yourself a rescue disk and scan your PC. This can certainly help you.

You can even scan your drives with a DOS anti-virus. I’ve personally used this to get rid of viruses many-a-times. You can download a DOS anti-virus from here. Instructions to use would be given in the package you download.

4. Backup and Format: If you don’t have much stuff installed, just backup your data on a USB or a CD/DVD and install a fresh copy of your Windows/OS. This way you’ll totally get rid of any and every virus. Just make sure that you install an anti-virus as soon as you boot into your Windows after a new installation.

If you are having some difficulty in opening any folder or copying any file due to the virus, try using a Linux live CD to open it or copy it to a USB or to your desired location.

These are just the main ways to flee viruses away. Hope you got rid of those Trojans and Viruses. Tell us about your experience in your comments.
