Proper Connections With Usergate Proxy Server

March 31, 2010 · Posted in Kaspersky · 1 Comment 

The new version of UserGate Proxy Server is its fourth, which evidences the program’s popularity and developer support. Designed for organizing the work of local or home network users on the Internet, UserGate Proxy Server provides the tools needed to: manage Internet access in a centralized way with the help of rules, control and calculate traffic, and to guard a local network from intrusions and malware programs. A simple home example of where UserGate Proxy Server comes in handy is where you get connected to the Internet from home and have to pay for a certain amount of traffic. There are several members of your family using the Internet, but your teenager always seems to hog more than his share. An easy solution is to create an account in UserGate Proxy Server for each family member and give a certain amount of traffic to each member. The teen’s hogging days are over! And, no complaints, arguments or quarrels.

The new version of UserGate Proxy Server comes with its own built-in firewall and an improved administration client. The firewall provides the additional security of an Internet gateway due to its capability of blocking traffic of either IP protocol (TCP and/or UDP) through specific ports.

By default the firewall contains one rule, which allows everything that is not blocked and blocks everything that is not allowed. Additional rules can be set in UserGate Proxy Server that block the downloading of audio and video files, the access to some sites, and set limits on the size of files that can be downloaded. These rules are created by an administrator according to current tasks.

As an additional security facility the Kaspersky Antivirus module checks all incoming traffic for viruses and Trojans.

The Administration module is how the settings of UserGate Proxy Server are managed. The new version comes with a new interface that provides a more convenient way to configure these settings. There is a context help that explains the rules and workflow of the settings with examples. The interface makes it very handy to choose an item to configure and read its straightforward tool tip, so you know how to set the exact rule you need. As a result most needs can be satisfied within an hour.

It is recommended that settings for UserGate Proxy Server be carried out in a definite order. First, groups and users are created, then the setting for DNS and computers on the intranet is performed, and finally rates and rules are created. Groups are created to make user management more convenient. Common rates and rules can be set for users. These can also be imported from an Active Directory. A user can be limited in all sorts of ways: you can limit their connection speed, set personal rates and/or rules. Each user can be a member of only one group.

UserGate Proxy Server has a built-in billing system that allows different rates for different time periods (for example, night and day rates), for access to different external resources (local provider network and Internet). To change the rate by time, you create rules that switch rates at certain times, including days of the week change. Rules can define conditions of Internet access. They are formed on the basis of three data sources: traffic, rate and connection. A rule can be set so that it is executed at a definite period of time. A rule can be set to execute under certain conditions, for example, if a user’s account is less than a certain amount, if a user has reach a set limit of time online or has downloaded more information than is specified. Rules can permit or deny access to certain sites. For example, you can make a list of banned URLs and the rule can be applied to deny various popup windows and/or to block advertisements.

With UserGate Proxy Server reports can be prepared with the use of various criteria: user, time, protocol, traffic, and account balance. It is very effective for organizations; at any time you can know whether the Internet is being used for work or play. Despite all the power, security and stability of UserGate Proxy Server, its requirements from a computer are minimal: a stand-alone computer, Pentium 200MHz, 32 MB RAM, 10 MB of hard drive and disc space for cache and log files.

Illinois Courthouse Finds Security With Avg Anti-virus

March 30, 2010 · Posted in AVG · 1 Comment 

Like many small government organizations, the Mercer County Courthouse of Aleda, Illinois has limited resources and staff. So it comes as no surprise that one of its’ staff members, Jeff Benson, frequently finds himself running the organizations network in addition to his other duties.

“My knowledge about technology is not extensive, but I know more than my coworkers so I’ve been in charge of our IT purchases and decision making for 12 years. I am the one our staff turns to when they encounter issues with software or workstations,” Benson said.

Benson reflected back to 2001, when the courthouse first implemented connectivity to the internet. He quickly realized the critical need for a security solution to keep out hackers, viruses and other threats without sacrificing performance or breaking the bank.

“For a while we ran Trend Micro and were pleased, at first, with its performance,” Benson recalled. “When we went wireless this year, we needed to upgrade to the new version of that product. It was then that we noticed Trend Micro eating up way too much of our systems’ resources and slowing everything down dramatically.”

Benson said that the final straw was in the early summer of 2008 when a virus threat seeped through and threatened their infrastructure.

“A virus took over some of our computers,” Benson said. “To make it worse, the only way I could figure out how to get rid of it was to purchase software that ran $120 a pop! I realized then that if a virus ever threatened us again, we would have to spend more taxpayer dollars to clean up the mess. So this incident, coupled with all the other issues, forced us to look for a replacement.”

AVG: Compatible, Safe, Secure

Benson reached out to his most valued source for advice, the organizations Internet Service Provider (ISP).

“Our ISP recommended that we check out AVG Network Edition as a replacement for Trend Micro,” Benson said. “They promised that AVG would not hog all our systems’ resources and it was affordable.”

After conducting further research, he installed a Trial Version of AVG Network Edition on a few workstations as a test run.

“I was amazed with the performance of the AVG product,” Benson recalled. “It was so unobtrusive that I forgot it was there. Even better, it caught all sorts of nasty viruses that Trend never did.”

Walling Data: Prompt, Thorough, Domestic Technical Support

Following the installation of the Free Trial, Benson convinced the County that AVG was the best fit for their organization. He said, “AVG did the job right protecting our network without taking time away from daily work, so the county quickly approved the purchase. I hopped online and found lots of referrals to an AVG Distributor, Walling Data,” Benson said. “I contacted them and proceeded with ordering the licenses we needed.”

Walling Data is the longest-standing and highest-volume distributor of AVG Technologies solutions in North America, and the only distributor to offer all of its’ customer’s free, unlimited, U.S.-based pre- and post-sales support.

“Walling was so easy to work with. They were responsive and helpful during the entire sales and installation process. Reliable service like that is hard to find. I’m thankful that they helped speed up the process so that I could get back to work!”

Benson says “It has been smooth sailing ever since” and is happy with the decision to switch to AVG Network Edition.

“What I like best about AVG is that I don’t see it!” Benson said. “You don’t have to babysit it all the time like we did with Trend Micro. The updates are constant and if there is a threat to our network, it is handled by AVG immediately and automatically. I can’t ask for much more than that!”

Why You Should Use a Spyware Removal Software Today!

March 28, 2010 · Posted in Spyware · Comment 

‘Spyware’ is a form of advertising software that is covertly installed on a person’s personal computer without their knowledge or consent.

Some advertising software today is installed with the consent of the computer owner as a form of payment for the use of a website or program, and these forms of marketing software are usually termed ‘adware’. The difference between spyware and adware is knowledge and consent of the user. Because spyware is added without consent, and often can lead to a number of damaging effects to a computer, spyware removal is a popular subject for computer users today.

The first step in spyware removal is of course determining that you indeed have spyware installed on your computer. Chances are, you do. In a study conducted by America Online and the National Cyber-Security Alliance in 2004, it was estimated that 80% of computer users across the world have some form of spyware installed on their computer, and 90% of these users are not aware of it.

Some common signs that your computer maybe infected with spyware are ‘pop-up’ advertisements that occur frequently, and sometimes even when you are not on the web. These ads can be extremely annoying to be sure, but spyware can have even more sinister effects to your computer. For instance, it can considerably slow your computer down, add hard to remove toolbars to your browser, change your home page without your knowledge, and cause lock-ups or crashes, resulting in lost data.

The good news is there are a number of spyware removal programs available that will scan your computer to detect spyware elements. If it is determined that your computer is infected with spyware, some of these programs are able to remove the infection.

Many spyware removal programs are available free of charge, though they must be updated regularly. Some programs will allow you to scan your computer for free, but will then ask for payment in order to clean the detected spyware. Personally, I’m a little skeptical of these programs, and stick to the ones that are entirely free of cost. Some good examples include SpyBot, and AdAware.

These spyware removal programs are usually able to get most spyware off your computer. To increase your chances, it is best to run two or even three different programs. You may encounter occasional spyware programs that are especially malicious and will require more complicated measures to remove. Instructions on how to remove these more devious spyware programs are often available in technical forums across the internet, and most stores that offer computer repair are also able to clean spyware as well as viruses.
