Deleting Windows viruses through a Linux live CD

According to Katherine Noyes of PC World, you can Fix a Windows Infection Using Linux. You can use the live CD (or USB flash drive) for any Linux distribution. As an example, Katherine presents a procedure that lets you scan for Windows viruses through an Ubunutu 10.10 live CD.

For example, if you have a Windows PC that a virus has converted to a boat anchor, you can shut down, reboot through the live CD without installing Linux, and then use the antivirus utility on the CD. After deleting or quarantining the virus, remove the CD and reboot through Windows. Hopefully, your Windows again runs normally. If so, thank the penguin.

How to burn an ISO disk image through Nero

An ISO disk image file (also known as simply an ISO image file) is an executable file that you can burn (write) to a blank, recordable CD or DVD. After you burn an ISO file to a blank disk, it is similar to any installation CD or DVD that lets you install a product, such as a single software program or a complete operating system. For more information, see Wikipedia ISO Image.

Although the procedure below applies specifically to Nero Express 6, it applies generally to most programs through which you can burn ISO image files to blank disks. To burn an ISO image file through Nero, do the following:

If you have not already done so, install Nero. For example, you can download and install a free version, such as Nero 9 Lite.
Insert a blank, recordable disk (CD or DVD) into the burner (DVDRW drive) through which you wish burn your ISO image file.
Double click on your Nero StartMart desktop icon to start Nero and display its window.
Select (move your mouse over) the Copy and Backup icon, and then click on Burn Image to Disk to display the "Open" window.
Use the "Files of type" drop-down menu to select Image Files (*.nrg;*.iso;*.cue).
Navigate to the ISO file that you wish to download, select it, and then click on the Open button to display the "Nero Express Image recorder" window.
Use the "Destination drive" drop-down menu to select the drive into which you placed your blank disk.
Select (check mark) Verify data on disk after burning.
Click on the Next button to start the burning process and display its window, which shows "Process status" and "Remaining time." (The entire burning and verifying process might take approximately 30 minutes. Of course, while waiting, you can minimize the recorder window and perform other tasks.)
After Nero burns your ISO image file, click on the Next button to eject the disk, and then click on the Exit button to close Nero Express and redisplay the "Nero" window.
Close the "Nero" window.

Creating daily activity logs through MS Excel

Excel is the spreadsheet application in the Microsoft Office productivity suite. You can use Excel to generate daily activity (task) logs. This document explains how to:

Create your base log, which is a simple Excel spreadsheet that serves as a template for your daily activity logs.
Create and use daily activity logs, each of which starts as a copy of your base log. For each activity or task that you log, you need enter only a category, a brief description and an ending time. The spreadsheet automatically calculates starting time, activity interval, and total daily time.
Create your PDF daily activity log.
Cover your assets (CYA).

Note: Although this document applies specifically to creating daily activity-log spreadsheets through MS Excel, it applies generally to creating activity logs through other spreadsheet applications, such as LibreOffice Calc and Google Drive Spreadsheet.

Creating your base log

To create your base log, you need to format it and then add its formulas.

Formatting your base log - Your base log requires six columns (A through F) and four rows (1 through 4). To format your base log, do the following:

Open a new MS Excel file, rename its worksheet as DailyLog, and then save the spreadsheet as BaseLog.xls.
Select cells A1 through C1, select HOME (in the toolbar) to display its ribbon, and then click the Merge & Center icon (at the right in the Alignment frame).
Adjust the width of column D, making it wider so you can type activity descriptions.
Merge cells E1 and F1.
Select cells A1 through F2 and then format them as Ariel, 12 points and bold.
In rows 1 through 4, type text as shown in Figure 1 below.
Select cells A3 through B4, select HOME, click the arrow at the right of Number, select Time, select 1:30 PM, and then click OK to format cells A3 through B4 for 12-hour time. Note: If you prefer 24-hour time, select 13:30.
Select cells E3 through F4, select HOME, click the arrow at the right of Number, select Time, select 13:30, and then click OK to format cells E3 through F4 for hours and minutes (no AM or PM).

Figure 1 - Formatting your base-log spreadsheet.

Adding base-log formulas - To add formulas to your base log, do the following:

Format you base log according to the procedure above.
Select merged cells E1 and F1, type =today() into the function (fx) bar, and then press Enter.
Select cell A3, type your typical first-activity start time, such as 8:00 am.
Select cell B3, type your typical first-activity end time, such as 8:15 am.
Select cell A4, type =b3 into the function bar, and then press Enter.
Select cell E3, type =b3-a3 into the function bar, and then press Enter.
Select cell F3, type =e3 into the function bar, and then press Enter.
Select cell E3, copy it and paste it into cell E4.
Select cell F4, type =sum($e$3:e4) into the function bar, and then press Enter. Your base log should now display as shown in Figure 2 below.
Save your BaseLog.xls, and make at least one backup copy.

Figure 2 - Adding formulas to your base log.

Creating and using your daily logs

To create and use your daily activity logs, you need to create a new log at the start of each day. For an example daily activity log, see Figure 3 below. To create each daily log, do the following:

Open your BaseLog.xls Excel spreadsheet file, and then save it with a file name that includes the current date and your name, such as 2012-10-11_Your_Name_Log.xls.
Modify cells A3 through D3 to log the your first daily activity.
Describe your next activity in cells C4 and D4, and then, when done, record its end time in cell B4.
Copy row 4, paste it into row 5, and then modify cells B5 through D5 to log your next activity. Note: Modify cells only in columns B through D; spreadsheet formulas update other cells automatically.
For each subsequent activity, copy your last row, paste it into the next, and then modify its cells in columns B through D.
At the end of the day, make at least one backup copy of your daily activity log.

Figure 3 - Example daily activity log.

Creating your PDF daily activity log

To create your PDF daily activity log, do the following:

Open your Excel daily activity log, such as 2012-10-11_Your_Name_Log.xls.
Click the Office Button(at the upper left), to display its menu.
Select Save As, click PDF or XPS, and select the PDF file type.
Click Publish to generate your PDF daily activity log, such as
2012-10-11_Your_Name_Log.pdf.

Covering your assets (CYA)
Your daily activity logs can help you practice prudent CYA. For example, at the end of each day, you can:

Create a PDF daily activity log according to the section above.
Create a PDF status report according to Creating a cumulative status report through MS Word.
Send an email to all your managers, and attach both PDFs.
Make personal backup copies of both PDFs, and file them in private storage.

Creating a cumulative status report through MS Word

Word is the word-processor application in the Microsoft Office productivity suite. You can use Word to generate a cumulative status report that lets you continually update your assigned tasks and cover your assets (CYA). This document explains how to:

Create your cumulative status report, which is a simple Word table that lets you track the status of your projects, assignments and tasks.
Format your status-report table.
Enter task data into your status report table.
Create a PDF status report.
Cover your assets (CYA).
