What does quarantine mean in context to Virus management?

Viruses in real world are the most resilient creatures. A virus can survive under extreme conditions. if a living organism gets infected by a virus, it has to live rest of its life with the virus. The only thing one can do is to make the virus less active or more better make it freeze(in the same position).
Now, viruses that infect our PCs are also very robust,but here we can’t make them less active, we can ether freeze them(motionless) or destry them. The freezing thing can be called quarantine.
The problem with the other method, that of destruction is that, as viruses attach themselves to exes or important system files, virus destruction means, the destruction of the file which acts as its host. So in severe form of virus attack, one is left with no option, but to FORMAT, the drive which contains the Operating system.

Where can I find good Macromedia Freehand help?

There is absolutely no need to wander here and there or spend money buying a book, unless you find it hard to read from a computer screen. All the macromedia softwares have very good tutorials and help sections, which can easily be found under the help menu. They are very systematic and very comprehensive.
Apart from that, joining some related community,groups and reading blogs is also a good idea.The only demerit in doing so is that, people in such places are not very different from real world, so most of the times good tips are not shared very openly.

How can i convert Torrent files to mpeg or avi formats?

I think you have misunderstood the torrent file with the actual data file. You may be thinking that the small files which by default have been downloaded on your desktop are the actual data files,which just need to be converted into a suitable format. Further, you may be assuming that once a suitable converter software is found, and the files are converteed, the small files on your desktop will swell up and you will get a file of size 600 mb.
Actually Torrent files(the small files on your desktop) are just the links which will help you download the actual data.In simple words they are only the roads through which actual data will travel.
So click on the small files and move on for the onward journey.
Remember, a file of 600 mb, say a movie or anything else, when downloaded on to a PC will always show the size of 600 mb, when the download is complete, and not a file of 350 kb or else.

How can i cut an MP3 song and then rejoin it?

Go for FileCutter. i have used it few years ago, when i needed the mp3 song ‘You sang to me’ by mark Antony. my friend cut the song and brought the pieces in three or four floppies, he also brought the File cutter software in one of the floppies as well, so that I can join the cut pieces when I put the song in my hard disk. So the software is very small and effective.Just search for the phrase ‘download file cutter’, in all probability, it’ll be a freeware.
That apart, numerous other softwares like Total Video Converter, no. one video converter etc, also have utilities in them to perform the task you desire.To get these either buy thee or use, programs like limewire.
Hope that this info is of some help to you

Dump your anti-virus now

I’ve been without anti-virus software from the past three and half years. During this period I’ve regularly surfed the net and have least trouble. If you can believe, the past three and half years were much more comfortable than the time, when I used to ensure the presence of anti-virus software on my PC.
So “Is there any need to have anti-virus software installed in one’s computer, especially if the person visits the net regularly?”
For me the answer is a big NO!
Why? Because I’ve parted ways with the anti-virus utilities about three years ago and to this day I’m having no problems with this arrangement.
First of all let I tell you the reasons why I discarded anti-virus softwares. The reasons are:
i) As per research about fifty new viruses come in the world daily, while the anti-virus companies manage to develop anti-virus definitions for only four of these. Thus forty-six of the viruses still go unbeatable. So what is the use of installing something, which blocks four and is ineffective for the remaining forty-six.
ii) Although skeptics spread the dangers of venturing in the cyber space unprotected, they when asked, fail to answer a simple question
“Why do computers in world’s most secure places get infected, when they afford to have the best protection against viruses?”
The Answer is simple no anti-virus is secure.
iii) It seemed to me (this is just my observation) that if viruses do attack PCs, then there are more chances of getting one’s computer infected, if it is protected. It has more to do with the working of the entire anti-virus industry than with anything else. To understand this, let’s assume a working model:
“Viruses are made by anti-virus companies (not all but a few), these companies also make their anti-dotes or virus definitions. The motives behind such a working are: to make new customers and retain the old ones. The old customers or the ones that already have the company software are retained by giving them the virus definitions that are developed by the company against the viruses made by the same company. The new customers are made by infecting those PCs that use an anti-virus from the rival company.”
Look, this model is actually working!
So based on the working model put above, the whole business runs on two ideas:
1} Making a question and then answering it. (To retain the old customers)
2} Attacking the machines with software from the rival (to make new customers) Both these methods make the exercise easy.
So what is the use of keeping an anti-virus?
iv) If a person wishes to un-install an anti-virus of a certain company and then wishes to install another one from another company, he or she has to face all sorts of troubles in removing the former. Even downloading an anti-virus from the rival company via internet becomes an impossible task, as the former one blocks the copying of some crucial files of the new one.
So every time a PC owner wishes to install new anti-virus software, he or she is left with no option but to format the master drive.
What a waste of time and money.
v) Last but not the least, I found FIREWALL- an inbuilt security in Windows operating systems more effective than any anti-virus software.

Which software should i use to delete a spy-ware?

 I think all the claims to disinfect a system by the anti- spy ware companies is a myth. Just use windows firewall and make restore point whenever you make some new installation. The restore utility can be found in system tools.
Ans if some day you suspect that spyware has hit your pc, format the drive. no better way than that. It is not pessimistic view, but utter truth.
do the above two things firewall and restore point, you will even be free from the clutches of anti-virus software.
believe me its true.
