Do you know about VLC? Yeah, all digital device users know. The VLC media player is a free and open-source cross-platform software developed by the VideoLAN project. Because it is open-source that's why people use and also contribute to it. If you just remove contributions then nothing will remain behind in VLC code.

But what is that crazy thing donut?

Do you know about the toolbox? Every person has a set of different tools in different fields. Like doctor always has stethoscopes, injections, medicine, etc. So here .Net is a framework for programmers that contains yummy libraries and development tools. Which can prevent us from extra coding and extra tension? .Net framework is always installed by default in windows. See here Dotnet.

What is Vlc.Dotnet?

Vlc.Dotnet uses libvlc that is provided by VideoLAN. Vlc.Dotnet is an implementation of a VLC media player in .Net. Means you can use VLC in .Net framework. As .Net is easy and simple, anyone can learn, modify or do whatever he/she wants.

Why use Vlc.Dotnet?

The difference between VLC and vlc.dotnet is just about easiness. VLC is made in C language. So persons like me can't understand hard languages like C. So for developing a media player, I use vlc.dotnet in C#/VB. Both are easy and understandable. And also using Vlc.Dotnet wrapper, You will have to code less and can customize controls as you wish.

And also vlc.dotnet has NuGet packages. So it will be now easier than before. You can reference vlc.dotnet using NuGet packages in Visual studio and just start coding.

Limitations of Vlc.Dotnet?

Vlc.dotnet currently supports windows for specific regions only including Winforms and WPF. So if you wanted to use VLC on other platforms as well then use libvlcsharp.

Hold on tight

The next parts will be released soon. If I have skipped something then please walk up to me. Thanks

What is Windows defender?

Windows Defender (known as Windows Defender Antivirus in Windows 10) is a powerful anti-malware software package created for only Microsoft Windows users. Before Windows 8, Windows Defender solely protected users against spyware. But currently, it has all the essential elements to discover and take away malware. If you have got fully updated Windows Defender then you do not need another antivirus program to install in your PC system. In Windows 10, Windows Defender settings are controlled within the Windows Defender Security Center.

Why I should update windows defender?

Hackers and virus coders are now more clever then they were before. They know advanced methods and techniques to bypass antivirus detection system. But on another side, cybersecurity researchers are also working hard to have pace with these bad programmers. They analyze all known viruses and add their fingerprints in antivirus software that are called virus definitions. To update virus definitions you must update signature files. If an antivirus finds these fingerprints in any file then it will let the user know and take appropriate steps.

New viruses are made, researched, signatures are caught and put in antivirus software. So you should update virus definitions it.

What are the signature files?

Signature files contain the most recent list and behavior of identified viruses. Anti-virus programs unleash signature file updates regularly, sometimes daily or generally often because new viruses are being known on an everyday. It's best to set up your Windows Defender to automatically check for updates these updates.

What is the scan engine?

The scan engine is wherever the signature files are loaded. It's chargeable for scanning and acting actions like cleanup, quarantining and deleting known viruses in your pc. Updates on scan engines ar intermittent and not as regular as signature files. Once a scan engine is updated, it's either to mend a scan engine issue or to create it scan quicker, perform higher and notice fewer false positives.

How to update windows defender definitions?

You do not have to install third-party anti-virus in Windows 10 for better security, but it is possible to update your Windows Defender after which you can save your system.
Following are simple steps you can take.

1. Run command prompt as administrator.
2. And run these commands one by one.

cd %ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender
MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignaturesMpCmdRun.exe  -SignatureUpdate

But if you are an absolute beginner and not sure what to do, then just download this batch script and right-click on it and select "Run as administrator". It will run all commands automatically.

 

Where viruses came from?

1) Viruses came from Internet:

Nowadays, the internet is not a secure place to use or visit. If you ask me a question that what is the big threat in the world of internet then I must say the big danger is the internet itself. If you are visiting cracks software sites and downloading files that are unsafe, then your PC will be exactly infected with viruses/malware. Viruses can come in your windows system by email attachments, free programs, pop-up messages, and malicious browsers extensions.

2) Viruses migrate from Removable media:

If you use a CD, USB, DVD, data cable or other removable media from unknown and not trustable sources then there is a huge chance it may infect your PC with malware, delete or corrupt the program, software and also antivirus (Windows Defender).

Why windows defender is important for PC?

Malware is any software on purpose designed to cause harm to a pc, server, client, or electronic network. Malware does the damage when it's ingrained or introduced in a way into a target's pc and might take the shape of the practicable code, scripts, active content, and other computer code. The code is defined as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, and scareware, among other terms. Malware encompasses a malicious intent, acting against the interest of the pc user and thus doesn't embody software system that causes unintentional damage because of some deficiency, that is usually represented as a software bug.

Sometimes malicious software may damage your system completely. That's why you should catch a virus that is present in your system and completely delete it before viruses harm your PC. For this purposes, you should have good updated Windows Defender antivirus.

Antiviruses on finding a virus will warn you and remove it. To understand the importance of antivirus, you should have knowledge about viruses and their behavior. Now I will tell you why antivirus is important.

1. Kill hidden Viruses

If you have a good antivirus then viruses may not have a chance to remain in your PC. Viruses came mostly from CD, USB, DVD, data cable or other removable media from unknown sources. On connecting other systems and transferring files, antivirus scan these files. If antivirus finds a malicious file then it will inform you and you have the right to remove or save these files.

2. Save Private Information

We always use our personal information (bank account number, credit card, debit card, ATM password, etc.) on our computer or laptop.

If you do not have any antivirus software on your computer, then there is a great chance that even a small hacker can steal secret information.

3. Internet Security

If you use an internet connection, then it is necessary you must have antivirus software installed on your system. Because now everyone frequently visits different websites. So fake websites can compromise your privacy and data you provide.

Today, everyone on smart-phone or desktop uses facebook, twitter, and other social media. So in this scenario, you must have a good updated Windows Defender antivirus.

As a beginner, I had faced a lot of problems in the field of computer. The big problem that I faced was downloading Windows 10. So in this blog, I will do my best to present the easiest method in simple steps with HD images to download Windows 10 official and legally(I hate illegal activities).

 

What peoples do when they had to install windows 10???

 

1) They visit crack software site:

Visiting cracked software sites isn't a good idea. Even I am one of those who have been using cracked software and I have got the experience of how cracked products work. Sometimes or you can say many times, the software you wish to install shows errors like 0x00059,0x98004 or similar to that. But I didn't see any error in official Windows 10(Argument is right that Windows 10 is heavy). Have you ever noticed why many sites provide you free of cost products?

• Attached Botnets that silently works for hacker and slower your computer.
• Attached Ransomware that encrypts your files.
• If you didn't convinced yet then search the web about "MY DOOM VIRUS" or "I LOVE U VIRUS".

 

2) They download a media creation tool:

Media creation tool is very lazy and not impressive. It takes a lot of time to download Windows 10. It can be a good choice for only a few users that have a good internet connection and a lot of time to wait for. So it is not recommended by me and many other computer users. But if you are a simple user who does not have so much money to spend on just internet connection then believe me this tutorial is specially designed for you.

 

Microsft's Strategy?

Microsoft provides downloadable files according to your device. If your device is PC(computer or laptop) then you can only download media creation tool If your device is mobile(smartphone,iPad, etc) then you will be able to download ISO file.

 

So what's the Author Strategy?

We will be going to change our user-agent. So that Microsoft will deal according to our user-agent. It's not too hard. Just follow the simple steps to download official Windows 10 ISO file.

1) First, go to this link https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10.

2) Right-click on the page and choose "Inspect"(Ctrl + Shift + I).

 

  3) Click "...", hover on "More tools" and choose "Network conditions".

 

4) Uncheck the box "Select automatically" in the right-side of user-agent.

 

5) Choose any android version e.g IPad, Galaxy, etc and refresh the page.

 

6) Select your windows 10 language, version and bit and just download it. Nothing more.

 

1) First, go to this link https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10.

2) Right-click on the page and choose "Inspect"(Ctrl + Shift + I).

3) Click on the mobile icon.

4) Choose any android version e.g IPad, Galaxy, etc and refresh the page.

5)  Select your windows 10 language, version and bit and just download it. Nothing more.

What do you think? 

I think I have skipped many other popular browsers. If you think I did, then tell in the comment section. I will make the second part and mention other browsers.

 

 

What is IDM (Internet Download Manager)?

Internet Download Manager short for IDM is a download manager that downloads your desired files in a fast time. This program is owned by American company Tonec, Inc. which is based in New York City. This software is written in C/C++. It is available for all Windows version.

This is paid software but you can try this 30 days for free. IDM is old, popular and amazing in terms of its work. Its features include (resume capability, schedule downloads, speed limiter, website grabber, proxy servers and a lot more)

Why many people use IDM?

The reason why many people use IDM can't be summed out in just one line. There are many reasons for its popularity.

Today people are using advanced technology but are not aware of the science behind that great technology. They want easy to use and best user-friendly software. IDM provides all these features. IDM have a white background, options have a thumbnail and easy to use intro.

Besides many other people are also using IDM because of its great speed. If I say it provides you great speed then I may be wrong. But I can say it has the ability to use all internet bandwidth for faster downloads.

Why they use cracked IDM?

Everyone has a heart and brain but not everyone has enough money to buy these expansive products. Some people may have enough income but they don't want to spend it (like a Pakistani). Then what they do?

They simply visit cracked software sites to download these premium products because they provide free registered software but it takes more as it looks simple and easy. I will discuss its disadvantages that give you silent great loss than advantages shown.

Does cracked IDM means virus? | The Basic meaning of cracked

Cracked do not mean to be a virus. It is a type of reverse engineering in which all algorithms of software are reversed, the registration corner is removed or registered with fake serial keys. Reversing the program of software do not make it a virus. Then why they say cracked products are not safe?

Have you ever noticed why a hacker will crack software and give you free of cost without any condition and profit? Something is hidden in this case. The cracked products are most likely to be attached dangerous virus that not only affects soft computer program system but also the hardware of your computer.

That's mean cracked products are not a virus. But are mostly attached to viruses.

1) Dangerous hidden viruses | Great programmers know:

If you are using cracked IDM and even it is working quite well then it does not mean that software is safe and secure. Well, the virus will not tell you I am a virus. But you check its behavior technically. It executes secretly. There are many types of viruses. I will discuss some types of viruses.

A botnet is a virus that keeps on the processing while using a big amount of ram, CPU and GPU usage. It makes your PC slow. Famous purposes are DDoS and crypto mining.

Trojan horses are the viruses that give access to administrative permission to the hacker remotely. Then a hacker can view camera, edit delete and view files, record keystrokes and much more.

Ransomware is the viruses that encrypt your all files. A message pop-ups in a startup "Your PC needs a key to decrypt files. Submit $10,000 to this bitcoin address to buy a key.    Bitcoin Address: UWY87R38YEWRGR8773YUWUH".

There are many other common viruses but I am not going in brief details.

2) Cracked IDM dangerous to Privacy:

Not only hackers use viruses, but many other popular companies also use viruses to track their users for many reasons. Some of them want to give a personalized experience. And some of them wants to improve their products.

They can trace your location, view history, live desktop spy and view photos and personal files. Later on, this data may be sold out to the advertisers or secret intelligence agencies.

3) Cracked IDM may not work correctly:

Many times cracked IDM relatively has slower speed than the original IDM. It may take a long time to complete its download. It may take more bandwidth of the internet. It may slow your PC or just suddenly crash.

4) Cracked IDM results in adware:

Adware is a type of virus that show ads without your permission after being executed.  It does not harm your PC but if it takes your internet bandwidth and electricity without your permission and without giving you any profit then it should be stopped. Ads can be bad or good. Ads may be displayed on startup screen or in browsers or in games you play or in sites you visit daily. I have experienced this virus.

Hackers are now more strong and clever but do the wrong things in a professional way. They deal with advertisers and promise them to deliver their content to most peoples and infect software with adware.

On more clicks, advertisers are benefited and then they pay huge money to the hackers. Thus hackers are benefited illegally.

5) Cracked IDM use is a crime:

Use of cracked products is a crime. Cuber security institutes are in a position to catch you. Beware, your location, and your act is exposed to all these cybersecurity researchers. If they are sincere to their work they will take action according to the law and rules.
 
Many cybersecurity companies do not take action because they do not get any advantage to arrest crack products users and save the software from cracking.

6) Cracked IDM discourages programmer's hard work:

As a student of programming, I have coded a lot of programs. And I am now convinced how difficult and boring field is this programming. My prediction in 2019 is that programmers will be rare until 2050 because all peoples now want apps but app developers are reducing gradually.

Only displaying "Hello World" takes a lot of codes lines to be executed to show in a program. And you can imagine how it will take time and lines of codes to make software like IDM.

So please support and encourage programmers. Because they do hard work to prevent you and us from doing difficult jobs. If you can not support or encourage programmers then at least to discourage them by using cracked products. Say no to crack products.



What if you get all IDM's features(free + securely + legally)? | Special gift for you.

As I know IDM is paid software and you have to crack it in order to use it. Yes, IDM is a good software to use but its price is so high. In some another article, I will be presenting IDM alternatives that will be free and legal.
