Team Al4a
Introduction
Surfing internet is becoming quite risky
nowadays. You often have to browse through many unwanted popup windows,
decline repetitive dialers install programs, sometimes your start
page is changed without your consent, or new bookmarks are added without
you knowing it. Actually, it is getting worse to the point we are
getting emails everyday regarding those problems from our surfers.
Your computer can be infected by programs
called adware (unsollicited advertising), spyware
(recording your surfing activity to sell your informations). Those
programs come from many sources, webpages can make you install them
unknowingly, or popular softwares like Kazaa or Divx can
install them onto your computer.
Before going further, let us give you
some informations on our site, and explain you why al4a.com links
are not totally free of the scamming stuff we just mentioned. Experimented
surfers probably know this already, but if you are new, read this.
We provide links to galleries containing
sex pictures, movies and stories. Some of the galleries are of our
own, but the vast majority is not. Webmasters come to our site to
submit their own galleries, we review them, twice, and if they are
clean, we add them to the site. The problem is : some webmasters just
can't live honnestly and they change their galleries after they submitted
to al4a. They add popups, dialers, anything, but the worst of all
: they can install trojans and control your pcs from outside. If you
don't know what it is you must absolutely read what follows.
TIP!!
if you use Windows, make sure you update all the patches and updates
as often as possible (you can even set it to automatic).
You can go here for your windows updates: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
I will first briefly explain some common
problems and terms you hear about when you surf the internet:
Virus
What is a computer virus?
A computer virus is a set of computer codes that overwrites, replaces
or attaches itself to some part of a program or operating system
in order to make a copy (or copies) of itself. It comes with instructions
that set off some task(s) that affect the infected computer. These
may range from the comparatively harmless to really destructive.
Some viruses display text or pictures, but other than that, they
are relatively harmless. Others, reduce memory space, modify existing
data, or use up CPU processing time. But the destructive ones may
overwrite or destory all your files or even crash your hard disk!
How does a computer get a virus?
A virus can be introduced to a computer in various ways. It can
be attached to any file or programs that you copy from floppy disks,
or download from the Internet. While many viruses today spread through
email, and they are released not only by opening the attachment
but also by simply opening the email itself.
The virus can be activated the minute it is installed on your computer;
but in many cases, it can remain inactive until you run or execute
the program that contains it. You will not usually be aware of the
presence of the virus, and may innocently spread the virus to others.
An ounce of prevention
A virus can do its dirty work on your personal computer or your
network; but there have been many cases that a particular virus
wreaks havoc on the entire world, severely compromising many corporate
businesses and government functions. Thus, it is important to take
the necessary precautions before it is already too late.
As the world gets connected with today’s intricate cyber world,
viruses spread faster than ever. So when you notice that your computer
is acting a bit weird or erratic, you should immediately scan for
a virus.

Trojans
What is a Trojan?
A Trojan is a type of program that enables a hacker to intrude and
make changes to your computer. It is a threat in disguise. Like
the Trojan Horse popular in the Greek history, it appears safe (in
the form of software program and e-mail attachment). But once opened,
the Trojan may install itself on your computer and gain access without
your consent.
Generally, the initial objective of a Trojan is to browse your hard
drive to determine anything of worth such as credit card information,
passwords, confidential documents, email addresses, confidential
designs or pictures, or even calendar information regarding the
user’s whereabouts. Once found to be a potential source, the intruder
then gets inside and manages your files totally. The intruder can
do the following: rename, create, delete, view and even transfer
files to or from your computer.
Trojans will enable the intruder to open and close your CD-ROM drive,
spam and gain control to your keyboard and cursor. Trojans can also
use a program manager that will allow the intruder to install, execute,
open or close any software programs. Indeed, it is big threat to
security.
How does it affect your computer?
The
business starts first by the user installing the Trojan itself.
This is done by deceiving the user with a seemingly useful system
enhancement or perhaps a free game containing Trojans. By installing
a free game, for example, Trojan will be automatically installed
too. Trojans can also come in common disguises such as files from
unknown sources, e-mail attachment from unknown sources, and files
from any online activity client like ICQ. Once contaminated by Trojan,
any distant user will inevitably have free access. The dirty work
then starts.
Other types of Trojans are: Remote Access Trojans, Mail Trojans,
FTP Trojans, Telnet Trojans, Keylogger Trojans, Fake Trojans, and
Form Trojans.
Protect your Computer from Trojans
Trojans
can also be distributed as email attachments, or bundled with other
software programs. You should always be wary of opening attachments
and downloading programs from the Internet unless you are sure it
is from a secure and trusted source. If possible, confirm with the
sender.

Dialers
What is a dialer?
A dialer is a type of program that can alter the settings of a user’s
dialup connection. Dialers can disconnect your computer from your
local Internet provider and then reconnect you to other sites usually
connected with expensive pornography, toll, or international phone
number. A connection to international phone numbers happens instead
of connection to local internet provider.
What
does it do?
Dialers
will generally grant you access to pornography by dialing a country
like AFRICA from YOUR HOME PHONE. Once they are connected,
charges as high as $5.99US per minute can occur. Now-a-days,
most dialers will ASK YOU TO CONNECT, be sure to NEVER ACCEPT these
charges. Unlike other viruses, it does not scout your files
and other personal belongings on your computer but rather may rack
up these significant long distance phone charges. Some dialers will
turn off your PC speaker and dial these far off contries without
you knowing!! So....
Be
Aware
Any time you happen across a POP-UP AD or Program on your PC asking
you to connect/dial a phone number to get access to porn, CLICK
CANCEL or restart your PC!!. Also verify the number you use to access
the internet, be sure it was the one provided by your ISP or Internet
Service Provider. Another easy way to tell if you have become a
victim is unexplainable tremendously high bills!!

Spyware
What is Spyware?
Spyware
is a software that attacks the user’s internet connection at the
background without the user’s knowledge. Spyware can do a lot of
things that you wouldn’t generally want to happen, such as: capture
all the information that you enter through the web; add unknown
sites to your internet favorites or to your desktop (as icons);
hijack your default settings and homepage, monitor your browsing
activity, and; append unwanted and disrupting search bars and toolbars
to your browser. Your privacy will be compromised because Spyware
makes it possible for someone to sell any of your personal information
that you entered on your PC, and with all of these occurring either
in combinations, your hard drives become stuffed. Thus the PC slows
down.
How does it attack the computer?
Spyware
can enter your computer in different ways. It may be pop-ups or
window ads, through an instant messenger service, attachment of
spam through your e-mail, by sharing files, music and photos, or
it can be installed by a hacker or someone who uses your computer.
At times Spyware is bundled with a preferred program which is being
unveiled in hidden text as a component of the end-user-license agreement
(EULA).
Once the programs have entered your PC, they will find their way
onto your system and install themselves in various potential dwellings
like your registry, start up menu, folders and files.
Most Spyware programs ensure their survival by sprinkling traces
of the program throughout your system to make full removal more
difficult (and sometimes nearly impossible). Once installed, Spyware
operates insidiously in the background.
The problem with Spyware has gone a long way. It can even invade
your privacy like your bank account numbers, social security number
and even passwords can’t get away with it.
What can you do?
There
are some very good programs that can help you protect your computer
from this threat. Install, run, and update them regularly to ensure
your system’s protection.

Mailware
What
is Mailware?
Have
you had enough of those unwanted pop-ups that are a source of endless
annoyance while surfing the net? Even your mails are being bugged
by those pop-ups from authors that are investing a wide range of
targets for advertisements. They make big money but at a great price
for you and your computer.
How it works?
Mailware generally dwells on your mailbox, as what the term suggests.
It may come in the form of spam on your mail or even disguise through
the popular chain letters. Once the Mailware has entered your mail
server, it starts to generate information that can be easily traced
by spammers or the creators of Mailware. When you respond to these
Mailwares, the authors will have an automatic confirmation on your
address and would continue on sending you spam and more spam. Mailwares
are mainly characterized by usually strange unsolicited commercial
e-mail and bulk e-mail. The targets are usually targets individual
users with direct bulk email or from online services that provide
bulk email.
A variation of this is sending spam to mailing lists, either public
or private email discussion forums. Since several mailing lists
draws line to their subscribers’ activity, spammers will take advantage
of automated tools to subscribe to as many mailing lists as possible.
Thus, they are able to get the lists of addresses, or use the mailing
list as a direct target.

Adware
What exactly is Adware?
Adware is a software application that can show advertisements on
your computer in the form of pop-ups, pop-unders, and banner ads.
Usually they disrupt the user -- giving an option to either continue
on the web or click the pop up. Certain Adwares have the ability
to track down the surfing habits of any user, without prior knowledge
or consent, thus being a threat to your own security since it is
being sent to unauthorized parties.
How does it work?
Adware
applications technically run in the background of the computer and
function as a spy watching all your moves. The information gathered
will then be logged and used to create a user profile that is relayed
to advertisers. The user profile may include unrelated personal
information too and then sent to a data collection site. It is extracted
on to narrow online search results to match the profile or, as a
data mining tool, to evaluate the surfing habits.
Adware attacks usually start by attaching it to an installed program
like a freeware, software that is available for free. Freeware installers
inadvertently sign up for unlimited pop-up ads supply.
Common examples of freeware that may include Adware are computer
games, unusual mouse pointers, instant news or weather updates,
applications boasting to improve efficiency of your computer, and
even the smileys being used on e-mails.
What can you do?
You
can block unwanted ads by installing a reputable Adware scanning
and removal tool. Make sure that you update it with the latest version
because new versions of Adware are cropping up in as short as a
week’s time.

Very
important : your hosts file can be hacked and modified
There is a way for unhonnest webmasters
to add popups and other nasty stuff to almost every page you visit.
With the use of an exploit they can hack your computer files and modifiy
a very important one :
- Windows 98:
c:\windows\hosts
- Windows 2000:
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
- Windows XP: c:\windows\system32\drivers\hosts
By editing this file they can steal traffic
from any site they want, they can block your access to any site, or
they can add advertising (popup(s), dialers) to them. To hack your
hosts file cheaters only have to have you visit their page, be it
a TGP or simply a thumbnailed gallery! You don't have to click anywhere
on the page, you don't have to install anything, it is a very malicious
hack; you will not even notice that a flaw in your
computer settings has just been exploited...
Open your hosts file (it has
no extention) with notepad. It should contain only this line :
127.0.0.1 localhost
If you see other domain names below it,
it has been changed illegally. Just delete everything but 127.0.0.1
localhost. Save the file and close it, and you should be fine
again. If you are unsure, you can simply delete the file from your
hard drive, it will be ok. I have heard that making your file read-only
can protect you, but I am unsure.
If you really don't understand how to
do this, or if you want a more advanced protection against this problem
and others, read the next topic.
Free
anti adware and spyware tool : Spybot, Search & Destroy
Do you have some crap toolbar installed
on your explorer? Do most of the pages you visit contain annoying
popups? Can't you access some of your favorite sites anymore? We have
something for you, and it is totally free. It's called Spybot
Search & Destroy. You will find download links from their
homepage but here is a shortcut to the download link on download.com
:
Click
here to download Spybot
It is very easy of use and will remove
most of the adware, spyware and dialers from your computer. It will
also tell you if your hosts file
has been hacked and will automatically remove invalid entries. Even
if your computer is fine, I highly recommend you
to download and install Spybot, because if your hosts file happens
to be hacked in the future, you might not even be able to access this
page again. We have already found several cheaters redirecting and
stealing surfers trying to access al4a.com to scum pages, and there
is no doubt it will happen again.
This is NOT a commercial program, but
feel free to support them by doing a donation.Their
software is very helpful for everyone.
Don't forget to update your spybot frequently,
you can find the update button on the first window when you launch
the program.
Better
safe than sorry : update your Windows system and IE browser
Cheaters use security flaws to install
unwanted programs. Update your softwares frequently and you will be
fine. We are talking about Microsoft systems and browsers because
they are the target of cheaters, being the most popular.
Keep your browser
up to date, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp
and get the latest version and patches for MS Internet Explorer.
Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
and download the latest upgrades and security patches for Windows
systems.
If you update regularly you can really
avoid a lot of surfing problems. Click

links handy in the future.
Help
us by reporting bad links to keep our pages clean
With everyone helping we can provide
a better porn surfing experience to everyone.
If you surf a gallery that contains
a popup, a dialer link, an image link not leading to the big picture,
or a movie thumbnail not leading to the movie, if your antivirus gives
you a warning on the page, if you notice your starting page has been
changed, if you see new bookmarks have been added to your browser
mysteriously, or any other bad stuff, you should send us an email
here. We are checking
the reports daily and delete the galleries that are seriously reported.
That means, the more comments you add to the report, the more detailed
they are, the most likely we will trust your report and delete the
gallery. This includes giving us a real email adress; read below.
Our
policy regarding email advertising
It is very simple : we do not tolerate
any email advertising. That means our links are free of sponsors collecting
surfers emails, because most of them will simply spam your email,
sell your email multiple times, etc. If you find a gallery (the manual
reviewing process can never be perfect) containing such links, you
should report it to us and we will
delete it.
Link reports : we ask you to enter your
email adress when you report a bad link to us, we use it only to ask
you additional informations, if needed. The email adresses we receive
are not stored anywhere, the reports are simply deleted after reading.
We do not sell them to anyone. I receive enough spam daily and I do
not want surfers to receive more than they probably do.
The
parasite test online
Click on
this link (opens in a new window), this will launch the parasite
test (javascript), then read the results below detection script.
If your computer is infected they will tell you how to uninstall the
parasite.
You might prefer to download
and install spybot, though, as it is much more simple of use and
can detect much more unwanted programs; the parasite pages often only
tells you how to remove the parasites manually, meaning editing the
registry, typing dos commands, etc.
Shortcut : test
your computer.
Tricks
and Free Popups-Killer
Against popups your best and most easy
to use weapon is a simple keyboard shortcut : ALT
+ F4. Press them simultaneously and it will immediately
close the active window. You can do it fast enough to close very fast
opening popups.
You might find some windows that you
cannot close with AFT+F4, try another shortcut : control
+ w. If you still can't close them, use control
+ ALT + Del to open the task manager
to select and kill the application manually.
But, if you prefer, we found that Google,
the world #1 search engine has included a great popups-killer ability
with its latest toolbar : Google
Bar. With it you will be able to stop popups entirely,
or allow popups only from specific sites (white list). Best of all,
it is 100% free, and does not require any signup or anything.
Installation is extremely easy and only
takes a few seconds : click here to visit Google
Bar's Homepage and install it.
For a detailed help regarding their popups-blocker
ability, just visit this page : Google
Bar Popups Help.
Another option is to upgrade to Service
Pack 2 of Windows XP, it auto blocks popups as well.
Removal
of the browser hijacker known as CoolWebSearch
This 'hijackware' has many forms and
is very hard to remove so the best we can do is point you to this
complete information page :
The
CoolWebSearch Chronicles, thanks to Spywareinfo.com.
If you surf TGPs a lot chances are you
have encountered or will encounter a site run by a scammer that will
use CWS to steal traffic (redirect you when you try to access some
pages). Remember the best to keep safe is to always have
your browser and operating system up to date.
