[SOLVED] Safe Internet

(1/3) > >>

Contro:
I have a friend having serious problems with internet virus many times in a year.
I usually goes to his home and apply antivirus, but is always begin the begin.
So I am thinking about this possibility :

1. Use a bat file with a password, or an ahk file - not needed encrypted - to enter in internet in the main system or host.
(this is necessary for certain processes like digital signature)
2. In the rest of the cases use a virtual machine under virtualbox to use internet. if something happen is quick to go back with the previous snapshot.
3. I would like the bat or ahk protected be temporized for the case the browser in the host system remained opened without interaction for about five minutes to close automatically. programmable time better.


Can I have a script in this way to control internet access ?

Best Regards

I'm not sure how the program would work.  But I have a couple of suggestions to do with the issue.  If your friend uses Firefox or chrome browser get him to use Privacy Badger AddOn.  I haven't tried the chrome one.  But for FF you just install it and go with the defaults. No options to set.

Every day when I scanned with SuperAntiSpyware I would have 52 or 53 tracking cookies.  After badger I have zero.

The other thing is ToolWiz TimeFreeze.  It is free.  Set it to start disabled but running when Windows starts.  That way you can turn it on manually from the tray icon and you don't have to reboot to turn it off.  It uses shadowing to redirect disk writes away from the system partition.

If you want to actually download something just save to another disk or partition.

The TimeFreeze I did notice it running just slightly.  But badger you don't feel at all.  It just filters out cookies the site doesn't need to run without you having to do anything.  No clicking allow this or that.  Automatic.

He uses exclusively IE because of the platform needed for digital signature.

But I'll take a good look also for myself.

I put a post a few weeks ago about Rollback and someone tells me that type of programs (acronis, rollback,....) area a little bit dangerous.

I have a headache with rollback because i uninstall with revo uninstaller and all about this program goes with shield.dat I lost with a complete uninstallation.....
Terrible !!!!!

A simple file and a philosofy of sector writings or something like that makes me feel really sick a few weeks ago with the lost of about 36 work hours I haven't in any place.....
