1. User Tracking (custom enhanced)

Once the Prevent is launched it automatically starts its user tracking mechanism. What basically it does is, it creates a log of all the users added/deleted from a particular system in a PDF file - "Tracking Report"

User don't have to manually start this tracking, this is enabled by default. If you open "Local Users and Groups" by typing "lusrmgr.msc" (without quotes) in command prompt or Run windows you will get below screen, wherein you can create new user Groups, add users to group, delete users from group and delete Group.

1. New group created
2. New user added to a group
3. User deleted from a group

User groups

2. Folder Tracking (custom enhanced)

Like User Tracking, folder tracking is also an integral part of Prevent design. The necessity of folder tracking arrives at the moment, when user want to deliberately make some changes in the system for instance, delete a file/folder, rename, or want to use cut/copy/paste operation. However in these times also when Prevent is in PAUSED state, user can track the changes of 5 of it's most sensitive folder.

Once you PAUSE Prevent, all the system operations became active again, "but" Prevent is still tracking your most sensitive folders. So whatever changes has been made while Prevent is paused will be logged into "Tracking Report" PDF

Please Note: The PDF will only track activities from the predefined 5 folders only, activities done in others folder will not be tracked. You can set the folders for tracking by using Track Folders screen in Prevent.

Folder Tracking

3. Reporting (custom enhanced)

Though the primary feature of Prevent is to restrict users from modifying data, it however allows users to "PAUSE" or temporarily stop this functionality, but during this period it tracks folders for users activity in few of the predefined folders. Apart from it, user tracking also runs simultaneously, meaning any change in user group or addition of new user etc will also get recorded in a pdf file.

You can read into detail about reporting by Clicking on below links

• User Tracking

You can set the location of the PDF file by using Reports screen in Prevent.

Disable “Solve PC Issues” Notification Messages in Windows 7

Sometime back I have written a post on What is the Windows Experience Index and How To tweak it and following it with lots of Windows 7 related hacking and tweaking tutorials. I added another article which was quite very popular ie How To Format USB drive into NTFS format to make complete use of USB Space. Now today again I am writing on my favorite topic Windows 7 tweaking. 

Solve PC Issues - It is the functionality added by Microsoft Windows 7 which helps you to solve your PC related problem, it is a part of Windows Error Reporting.
Whenever there is a problem or error in your PC your System generates the error and notifies you by showing the error at your Notification bar.  Well it is always recommended to have this option Up and running but some user don’t feels the same, even i too get annoyed when I disable my Windows Update or Firewall and then it gives error that your Windows Update and Firewall is disabled please Enable it. OK till now its kind of good but I get error message like Back Up your system etc, than I feel its time to either Solve those errors or if you don’t want to do that than its better to disable them.

How To disable these error warnings?
There are two ways of doing it, first is you can either completely disable the notification (not recommended) or you can just disable the notifications of particular errors.

Completely Disabling Error Notification

For Completely disabling error notification do the following steps.
1. Press WIN + R and type regedit in the Run dialog box, press Enter.
2. Now navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting

3. In the right hand side double click on DWORD value named Disabled and change its value to 1.



4. That’s it, now Log off your system and Log in back.
Now there will be no more Solve PC Error notifications bugging you.

Disable particular errors only

As I said, you can have another option by which you can just disable those errors which you don’t want to see like Back Up notification, Windows Update etc. So for that open your Notification Menu by clicking on the UP arrow on the taskbar and click on Crossed Flag button on it.



As soon as you click on it you will see list of errors causing problems/notifications.



As you can see in the Image above I am getting 4 errors Update Windows Defender, Turn on Firewall, Potentially harmful software detected and Windows Backup, these errors are self explanatory. Now say I don’t want to see Set up backup error on this notification list, than all I have to do is click on Open Action Center.

 

You can turn off any message/notification from here, just click on Turn Off message about Windows Backup to disable message about windows backup. Similarly you can do the same for all other error messages and warnings.

Google says BYE to China

Google has said its final BYE to China, take a major step yesterday Google finally says bye to China and stopped there services for Chinese users. Google is now redirecting google.cn to google.com.hk which is hosted in Hong Kong.

 

The page shows a sentence: 欢迎您来到谷歌搜索在中国的新家 ie “Welcome to the new home of Google in China”.

Now Search results are no more censored in China

We all know that Google move out from China due to cyber attack originating from China, and while investigating into these attacks Google had uncovered evidence to suggest that the Gmail accounts of dozens of human rights activists connected with China were being routinely accessed by third parties, most likely via phishing scams or malware placed on their computers.

 

After this Google made clear that these attacks and the surveillance they uncovered—combined with attempts over the last year to further limit free speech on the web in China including the persistent blocking of websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Docs and Blogger—had led Google to conclude that they could no longer continue censoring their results on Google.cn.

Google wrote on his official blog -

Earlier today we stopped censoring our search services—Google Search, Google News, and Google Images—on Google.cn. Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong. Users in Hong Kong will continue to receive their existing uncensored, traditional Chinese service, also from Google.com.hk. Due to the increased load on our Hong Kong servers and the complicated nature of these changes, users may see some slowdown in service or find some products temporarily inaccessible as we switch everything over.

So what does it means?
It means complete uncensored search results, earlier in China while you query for certain  keywords the search results are censored and won’t show you anything but now when any Chinese try to access Google.cn than it will be redirected to Google.com.hk and can see the uncensored results. So the search results which Chinese Officials has kept undercover from a long time are now made public in this way.

What was the China’s response?
“Google has violated its written promise it made when entering the Chinese market by stopping filtering its searching service and blaming China in insinuation for alleged hacker attacks,” said the official.
“This is totally wrong. We’re uncompromisingly opposed to the politicization of commercial issues, and express our discontent and indignation to Google for its unreasonable accusations and conducts,” the official said.

“We made patient and meticulous explanations on the questions Google raised (in the talks), …telling it we would still welcome its operation and development in China if it was willing to abide by Chinese laws, while it would be its own affair if it was determined to withdraw its service,” the official said.
“Foreign companies must abide by Chinese laws and regulations when they operate in China, ” the official said.

Lets first tell our Techno Geeks about Roulette.

Roulette is a casino game named after a French diminutive for "little wheel". In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a number, a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. To determine the winning number and color, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular track running around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls on to the wheel and into one of 37 (in French/European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel. - WikiPedia
