Autorun USB causes Trojan installation

In recent history I have had cause to remove a number of trojans installed via a usb stick or drive.
The trojans are easy enough to stop but it does mean you need to make a couple of changes to your system.
1. Download Microsoft's Disable autorun for removable media. Click to download and run it.
2. On every USB drive or other device you use create a folder in the root folder called autorun.inf.
Stopping the autorun feature will mean you will not be able to autostart cd's /dvd's and the autoun.inf folder will not allow devices to have one created if you place your usb drive into an infected system.
Please be careful moving your usb devices about as they are the equivalent of the old floppy disk, but worse.

Sick of all the Flash web sites?

Recently I became so sick of all the Flash on some websites I decided to remove it from my system. Now I have found a utility to give YOU the choice of viewing or not. Download the installer (FireFox only, get FireFox now if you don't have it) from here FireFox Flash Blocker. Great addon for a great product. Or better still, stop those ugly Scripts running by using No Script. The latter is my own choice.

Tweaking Windows.

This link is the only place I have found that helps you tweak windows and informs you of what it is you are doing.
Be careful please!

A Word to the Wise

I have been reading a web site generated by the Federal Government and suggest you ALL read it. It describes the numerous scams around and gives you the know how and tools to deal with them. Please check out SCAM WATCH. It is definitely worth it!
YCS in Yea has nothing to do with YCS.com or YnotDigital or YCS.net.au
Only today (14/9/2010) it has come to my attention that another business in WA has a very similar domain name, YCS.com and YCS.net.au. Needless to say these people are NOTHING to do with me or my business.
If you receive notification from anyone purporting to be from YCS please make sure you look for my name, as I am the only one who will email you, and the domain ycs.com.au in the email address.
If you do receive any contact please notify me immediately so I might attend to it quickly.
regards
Tony.
