Tips
Hieronder vindt u een aantal tips en tricks voor diverse Windowstm systemen.
Verwijderen van oudere versie van MSN vanaf een Windows systeem.
Ondanks dat je de nieuwse versie van MSN hebt geinstalleerd blijft de oude toch op de achtergrond aanwezig. Dit kun je verwijderen door de volgende stappen te volgen:
- Ga naar Start->Uitvoeren-> en typ dit in (zonder de quotes en druk op enter) "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %systemRoot%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove"
- vervolgens hetzelfde bij deze regel: "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection BLC.Remove 128 %systemRoot%\INF\msmsgs.inf"
Recommendations for WLAN security.
Change the preset "service set identifier" of the access points (SSID or ESSID) to a secure ID of your choice. Avoid obvious names such as your company name etc. Use a mixture of small and capital letters and numbers such as "37bTw49p8lqfA6". Hide the SSID (ESSID) of the access point by activating "Disable broadcast SSID". This prevents the access point from answering with an SSID when somebody tries to scan the network.
Also change the preset access password. We suggest that you also use combinations of small and capital letters and numbers such as "te5M223Kau7xc32Kki".
If possible use a 128 bit for the WEP key. Caution: This key might be found with special software tools. If this key is found the whole data traffic can be read. A good and easy to use site for making good 128 bit keys can be found Here.
Reduce the distance for the WLAN transmission to a minimum necessary for safe reception. Install the right antennas (if necessary directional antennas) to cover your safe area only. With a notebook with WLAN capability, test a possible reception outside your company's area and adjust the access point antennas accordingly for no reception.
Disconnect the access point when not needed (outside your working hours)
Activate the "test of the Client-MAC-addresses". With this you are safer from unknown hardware.
For really sensitive data we recommend having a "Virtual Private Network" (VPN). This VPN is on top of the regular WLAN protocol and keys the data with a special protocol.
