How to remove autoplay option from Right click menu of hard disk drive ?

Most of my friends on my network always has this problem.Yesterday this problem even creeped into my PC.So,I did some search about this thing and found the solution.This problem is named as "Hacked by Godzilla Virus " by the people.It creates a auto play option on the right click menu of your hard disk drives making you unable to open them by double clicking.However you can open them by rightclick -->Open or Explore.It changes the text of Internet Explorer title bar to "Hacked by Godzilla".Now here is the solution :

  • Go to any folder.In that on the top menu go to Tools--> Folder Options , which will be beside File,Edit,View,Favourites.
  • A window pops up after you click on folder options.In that window go to View tab and select the option Show hidden files and folders.Now uncheck the option Hide protected Operating system files.Click Ok
  • Now Open your drives (By right click and select Explore. Don't double click!) Delete autorun.inf and MS32DLL.dll.vbs or MS32DLL.dll (use Shift+Delete as it deletes files forever.) in all drives include Handy Drive and Floppy disk.
  • Open folder C:\WINDOWS to delete MS32DLL.dll.vbs or MS32DLL.dll (Use Shift+Delete )
  • Go to start --> Run --> Regedit and the Registry editor will open
  • Now navigate in the left pane as follows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows --> Current Version --> Run .Now delete the entry MS32DLL (Use Delete key on keyboard)
  • Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Internet Explorer --> Main and delete the entry Window Title “Hacked by Godzilla”.
  • Now open the group policy editor by typing gpedit.msc in Start --> run and pressing enter.
  • Now open the group policy editor by typing gpedit.msc in Start --> run and pressing enter. Select Enabled --> Select All drives --> Click OK
  • Now go to start --> Run and type msconfig there and press Enter.A system configuration utility dialogue will open.
  • Go to startup tab in it and uncheck MS32DLLNow click Ok and when the system configuration utility asks for restart ,click on exit without restart.
  • Now go to Tools --> Folder Options on the top menu of some folder again and select the Do not show Hidden files and check Hide operating system files.
  • Go to your recyclable bin and empty it to prevent any possiblity of MS322DLL.dll.vbs lying there
  • Now restart your PC once and you can now open your hard disk drives by double clicking on them.

How to access Restricted or Blocked Websites in school or workplace ? Bypass proxy at your school for accessing orkut , Myspace , Facebook ?

Vexed up with your school or workplace administration blocking most of your favorite websites like Orkut , Myspace , Facebook...... Do you want to access restricted websites in School ?

Disclaimer : These instructions are not mentioned to do anything wrong....All the data given is just sharing a bit of knowledge.

Lets start ourselves with client side softwares :

client software ::

Your-freedom [Recommended] :

Your freedom is a client program written in JAVA which lets you surf anonymously . It needs JRE to run on your PC.It supports http,socks, and https protocols . It has got 15 servers and a feature called "Auto change server " which changes the server automatically when the present one is busy and some other is idle . If you want to change server , You can set the option to manually change server . The startup wizard helps you to set most of the things and still if u don't understand detailed description is given on freedom website or check my Your-freedom user guide .This software is compatible with all browsers,file sharing software and instant messaging clients .This is so far one of the best tunnelers available .It gives you enough speed of 64Kbps in free service and 512Kbps for paid service but free service is enough for browsing.These days time restriction has been introduced.To bypass that you need to make multiple accounts on your-freedom site and login using them in the your-freedom client.

If your college service blocked ems.your-freedom.de. You still have option to go to your freedom site ,check available servers and put the ip on server address box in configure. Its very simple and so far the best thing i had seen for bypassing filters .

Bypass client from bypass.cc is also something which works just like your freedom but has just 3 servers and it restricts download limit for non paid users to just 1 MB per day. It is not recommended but can be used when u don't have any other option .

This pretty small client is very good but it gives annoying ads on the top bottom corner of your screen . If you want to remove them , right click on hopster icon in the system tray which looks like your LAN connection icon and click minimize ads . They will disappear with a nice animation . Hopster is recommend for instant messaging .

One more tunnelier which has nice servers at dresden-dresden and all . It also works like your freedom but not as much faster as your freedom . But its ok. The only problem is you have to download new version everytime if they add a new server i.e to access new servers you need to download new version . You can't update your server list right from client like others

It works by setting server at office or home and accessing it from some other place . It creates a SSH tunnel to access . I'm not sure about it as I never got a chance to use it . But still telling about it to give you information . If any one of you guys know about this , Please post it as comment

Client side softwares should help .If your administration is too smart . then you need to try all these things .

  • Use a language translator page to “translate” the sites from any language into English.

a) Google Language Tools

b) Babel Fish Translation

c) FreeTranslation

d) Online Website Translation

e) Language Translation

f) Online Translator

  • Use a URL redirection service like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com. These domain forward services sometimes work as the address in the the URL box remain the redirect URL and do not change to the banned site.
  • Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page. To retrieve the page more quickly from Google's cache, click "Cached Text Only" while the browser is loading the page from cache.
  • Change the site name prefix . E.g - use http://home.myspace.com (instead of http://www.myspace.com). Other prefixes to try for myspace.com: browseusers. search. invite. mail. blog. invite. favorites. forum. groups. events. viewmorepics. music. classifieds. signup. chat. videos.

None of the above is working ? This is the final option for you .Using proxies is the last way for you .

You can also subscribe to circumventor websites which are provided by peacefire.org .

A lot of proxy sites are also available on net . Go to google and get them.Some of the sites like this http://proxieslist.net/ have great list of proxies.Check them out.

If your administration is continually scanning and blocking proxy sites you use . Join circumventor network .
