News of AutoRun's Death Has Been Greatly Exaggerated You can see from the image above that the update is optional. Yet, a Microsoft blog post about the update called it an "important, non-security update". Important updates are automatically applied by Microsoft Updates. And so there was much rejoicing and AutoRun was declared dead. But not so fast! Larry Seltzer's technically accurate (based on Microsoft's statement) story about trimming AutoRun was followed up by another story with a correction from Microsoft. "The functionality change to Autorun is, for the moment, marked as Optional for Windows XP. "Microsoft says that this was a miscommunication and not a mistake." And so AutoRun lives on, and even after Microsoft adjusts the update from optional to important for Windows XP, update KB971029 only limits non-optical media functionality. So… to limit AutoRun, manually run Microsoft Updates. Regards,Sean

TCPView for Windows Introduction TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and remote addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows Server 2008, Vista, and XP, TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns the endpoint. TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently presented subset of the Netstat program that ships with Windows. The TCPView download includes Tcpvcon, a command-line version with the same functionality. Using TCPView When you start TCPView it will enumerate all active TCP and UDP endpoints, resolving all IP addresses to their domain name versions. By default, TCPView updates every second, but you can use the Options|Refresh Rate menu item to change the rate. You can close established TCP/IP connections (those labeled with a state of ESTABLISHED) by selecting File|Close Connections, or by right-clicking on a connection and choosing Close Connections from the resulting context menu.
True System Security Tweaker True System Security Tweaker Amis Windowsiens, si vous êtes devenu le roi du Windows Custom, alors j'ai un petit utilitaire qui devrait vous intéresser. Il s'appelle True System Security Tweaker (alias TSST) et permet de modifier pas loin de 470 paramètres de Windows. En gros, tout ce qui se trouve dans l'explorateur Windows, le panneau de configuration, et dans Media Player, peut être masqué ou affiché. Idéal pour mettre certaines choses hors de portée des enfants (ou de vos collègues apprentis informaticiens). L'outil peut être protégé par un mot de passe, afin d'éviter les modifications intempestives (même si au final on sait tous que ça peut être contourné via la base de registre) et il est possible de mettre en liste blanche ou noir certaines applications. TSST est gratuit, portable et téléchargeable ici. [Photo et source] Vous avez aimé cet article ?

Modifier son fichier hosts Localhost Le fichiers hosts (présent à la base dans les systèmes unix sous /etc/hosts) est la première étape pour la transposition d'un nom de machine fqdn en adresse ip. A quoi sert le fichier hosts ? C'est ce fichier qui est interrogé en premier avant de faire une requête dns sur les serveurs d'adresse du web. Pourquoi modifier le fichier hosts ? Le fichier hosts est consulté à chaque connexion à un site web, un peu comme un répertoire d'adresses. En modifiant le fichier hosts, vous pourrez : interdire l'accès à certains sites, accélérer l'accès aux sites que vous préférez et dont vous connaissez l'adresse IP, contourner l'interdiction d'accès à des sites de sécurité provoquée par certains programmes nuisibles.Changer le fichier hosts est simple, gratuit, inoffensif et réversible. Comment modifier le fichier hosts ? Où se trouve le fichier hosts original ? Le fichier hosts original se trouve ici : C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Que contient-il ?
