Start when Windows Starts
Pretty self-explanatory. This will have Desktop Armor start whenever Windows boots up--essentially having it run all the time
Internet Explorer Setting Protection
Some bad websites or programs will change your browser settings. They can do a variety of changes, including:
- Changing your homepage.
- Adding new items to your Links toolbar.
- Disabling the "Tools->Internet Options" menu and hiding the "Internet Options" control panel.
- Changing the animated logo on the right side of the toolbar.
- Changing the window title.
<>liChanging the "Prefixes" that Internet Explorer uses to potentially redirect every site you visit.
- Adding a special "Style Sheet" every time your browser starts to change how things look.
Disable Distributed Component Object Model
DCOM is a rarely used Windows service that allows someone to control programs on another computer. There have been several patches from Microsoft to fix security holes in DCOM, and several major Internet Worms have taken advantage of these security holes in the past.
Popup Slapdown
Popup windows are those advertising windows that appear when you visit some web sites--trying to sell you credit cards, little cameras, movie and TV previews, and more.
Startup Editor
Desktop Armor's Startup Editor lets you easily see the programs that are set to start when Windows starts. Many are programs you will want to start, but there may be some you don't want too.
Frequently Asked Questions - Desktop Armor
- Desktop Armor warned me about a new program X. Where do I find out what it is?
There are 1000's of files, many good, but a few bad. Your best bet is to search for the filename using Google or another search website. They will often find lots of information to help you figure out if the file is good or bad.
- I opened an email attachment and Desktop Armor suddenly started warning me about changes?
Most likely, you just opened a Virus or Trojan email! That's how most viruses spread these days, as email attachments. You'll want to click "Fix It Back" for the settings Desktop Armor is warning about.
More Steps:
You should make sure you've got the latest virus scanner and start scanning for viruses. If you don't have a virus scanner, McAfee is the one I use.
You should reboot your computer so the virus isn't running and sending out more messages to everybody you know.
- I get an error about "INSTALL.LOG" not found when Uninstalling Desktop Armor?
I'm not sure why, but sometimes the install program doesn't save that file properly. Then uninstalling has problems. Just download this file and save into your Desktop Armor folder, normally you'll be saving to C:\Program Files\Desktop Armor\install.log.
