Actually, here, most websites that offer Hotspot Shield to download are blocked by the Government so I put them up in a blog so that my friends can download it.
OR
CyberGhost
Their Free Service offer only 1 GB of traffic/month and bandwidth is limited to 2 Mbps.
But its worth it I say if you have need for only 1GB.
Well there are so many ways to do this. Most attempts are being performed automatically and you have to analyze your logfiles to see what was tried against your PC or against your server.
Recently I posted this in the virus and worms: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=91393.0 where the abuse was performed without the victim having any influence.
So the software has a weak spot or hole/bug. When it has been found up and reported the software should have been patched against malicious abuse. When a black hacker is sitting on that particular backdoor knowledge or it is not generally known to exist any updating and patching won’t help, script blocking and firewalling might thward the hack attempts off. Another question why they should attack your systems. Wellthese two things mainly: data and money or while data are worth money, well both,
Thanks Chris, I initially chose HotSpot Shield,
My problem is I can’t “save” the addition of (Add 127.0.0.1 box.anchorfree.net) to the Hosts File. :-
I have attached a ScreenShot of the message Box displayed.
I tried to enter this addition before Installation, in other words, I haven’t installed HSS yet,I went to Hosts first to enter the addition, No Go ???
What am I missing,
Thanks
I believe it is because of the lack of a file type (which the HOSTS file doesn’t have, so a in a save as choose the Save as type: ‘All Files’ that should allow you to save it without a file type.
I don’t know if it may be UAC related, but with all of those other entries in the hosts file, presumably you have done this before ?
Thanks DavidR. I’ll try the ‘All Files’ see if that does it.
Actually, no I havn’t been mesiing around in the Hosts file. It looks like all those entries are from when I used Spybot S&D a long time ago ???
Thanks for your time Chris.
Okay, I thought I would double check back in ‘Host Files’ but can’t seem to see it anywhere ???
So I don’t know if the edit worked. :-\
