its been a long time I gave up on fixing the rear microphone jack on my motherboard (ASUS A8N-VM), problem actually was that by default motherboard is set to listen to front panel jack, which i have on my PC but i think its not linked to motherboard.
So to disable the front panel microphone jack and enable the rear jack, just double click the mini speaker in your system tray (right side of taskbar)
click advanced under microphone and uncheck "1 Front Panel Microphone"
That’s it you got your mic working.
If not, be sure that you have selected microphone in audio input option (in recording control)
A friend asked about missing general tab in Internet Explorer
which contains buttons to clear history and stuff.
Here is how to bring general tab back
CLICK START BUTTON > CLICK ON RUN or (WinKey + R) & type in “regedit”
this will take you to your registry, where you have to go to repair the issue.
Once there, on the left side there go to the following…
Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Policies>Microsoft>Internet Explorer>Control Panel
On the right side there is data “GeneralTab“.
After GeneralTab is REG_SZ and then is value 0 or something.
Right click entry “GeneralTab” and click modify.
Then write 0×00000000 (0) at Value data.
Click ok and close window.
Open internet explorer and general is visible again.
Enjoy your privacy.
removing ravmon virus without anti-virus is easy,
but if you want anti virus suggestion or quick and easy way to remove this virus download Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware
virus they can stop your pc from being infected but once you are infected they wont be able to remove it.
I dont know the actual name of this virus nor its effects
Anyways its very easy to remove it
you will have to follow just few simple steps.
so here are the following steps explained
remember until you delete the virus files please open drives using address bar by typing C:\ D:\ X:\ as the virus is activated if you double click the drive
1. Right click any drive on your computer and see if right click menu shows some invalild characters
like this
If yes then you are infected.
2. Press Alt+Ctrl+Del to bring up the task manager (or right click taskbar to run it)
there will be a program in processes named “SVCHOST.EXE” there will be few svchost in small case but check one in capital letters, if you see more than one “SVCHOST.EXE” (all caps one) end the one with your username infront of it instead of LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE or SYSTEM.
by pressing end process
3. to delete the virus files you need to show system protected files.
for this goto
My Computer->(Menu) Tools-> Folder Options -> (Tab) View -> uncheck “Hide System protected files” -> press OK
If you are unable to unhide the system files you can use 3rd party softwares to browse drive and delete files, try ACDsee or WinRAR
Now open drive (by typing drive letter in address bar)
delete these 2 files
also delete those in all drives (not CD(WR) or DVD(WR) drives) (and remember don’t double click else you will have to start over from top)
Open Windows folder and delete SVCHOST.EXE, SVCHOST.dll and MDM.EXE
Now restart the explorer.exe process by killing it in taskmanager and runing it again [(winkey + R), type "explorer" and hit enter]
now right click the drive letter and ull see a clean menu
congrats virus is removed
4. Now remove it from startup (Optional as files are deleted)
Winkey + R type “msconfig” hit enter
goto startup tab-> (uncheck) MDM -> OK -> Exit without Restart
How to prevent from this virus in feature
just right click any USB drive (that includes iPod) you have plugged into your PC
if they have currpoted menu the drive is infected
Access drive by typing drive letter and delete files from that drive
Remember you double click the curropted drive you get infected else ur safe
The End
It started from extracting from WinRAR, extracted folders started giving access denied message.
first i thought its some problem with WinRAR, but later cut paste or moving a folder position also started giving access denied message sometimes.
folder couldnt be deleted, moved, accessed so was pretty annoying
So here is a little howto for removing access denied message and accessing folder again
Enable advance folder sharing by going to My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> [Uncheck] Use Simple File Sharing
Goto folder properties then, and add your username to give permissions
if add is disabled you need to set owner first (see owner tab in advance properties) and set full control
Thats your username
Give full control and press OK
Folder can be accessed now
its nice too change desktop colors, but even better if colors are good.
