Solve : Safe Internet?

Answer»

I have a friend with problems with virus.
I would like this.
use a virtual machine to browse ordinarily except in a few cases where is needed to do in the system (under windows 7)
When necessary browse with the system browsers i would like a bat able to ask for a password - no need to encrypt or special protection - and run then the browser opening a couple of urls... . If not interaction aftter about 5 minutos close automatically the browser (configurable better)

Best Regards

What is the point of asking for a password? Anyone can open up the bat file and see the password you are checking the input against. Quote from: Squashman on October 11, 2014, 02:21:27 PM

Don't worry about that. Are not expert users.
Only needed express is not allowed. even better is launch with the bat a set or url that are needed in this case for the special purpose.
In general launcha urls from inside the virtual machine.
Esgrimidor,
Anything that really helps is useful. Bat your IDEA of DOS level passwords does does not find support. Microsoft has put password protection at the Windows log in. It would seem that other log in scripts are of no value.

Windows 8 Security: What's New
The PCWorld article was published two years ago, In PART it said:
Quote
Antivirus Comes Preinstalled
For the first time in the history of Windows, you’ll enjoy protection from viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, rootkits, and other malware from the very first day you turn on your Windows PC--without spending a cent. Windows 8 comes with an updated version of Windows Defender that includes traditional antivirus functions in addition to the spyware protection and other security features that it has offered since Windows Vista. Windows Defender now provides similar protection--and a similar look and feel--to that of the free Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus program, which Microsoft has offered to users as an optional download since 2000 ...
True, people need hope. But offering a FALSE hope is hardly better than no hope. There are TOOLS that can reduce the risk of a virus infection. So far, I  have never saw  a DOS based program that helps.

However, if you have found  a new idea, please tell more. 



Nebelous query of the Month Finalist...Tell your friend to post here so we can try to help him or herWe have certainly helped you with a lot of batch files over the years.  I would think you could at least start to attempt to write the batch file first and then ask for help.Hard times for me indeed.

Don't worry.
Try if you can.

All I need is a simple password.
With that is enough. Only target is ask a simple word. No matter in this case the additional security.
It's a way to remember the browser in the system is only for certain uses.

Best Regards

I will continue with this project.
Maybe I can help. I am 76 years old.
Most things in Windows are now done at a higher level than DOS. An the things you do in DOS are local transitory, they are not a global and persistent.
To gather a password for a specific purpose, you would write a program in one of the suitable languages that can present a visual interface to the user.
Some of these can be built on DOS, but are at a higher level.
For some time Microsoft has recommended that users subbasement their DOS batch files with Vb Script to make things easy.

What is vbs?
VBScript is a Microsoft scripting language. -_- so being Microsoft they go and make it so it only works on IE. But as well as being a web script it is used for all kinds of things ...
for example on pic 2) (that's the second pic) That is take from the System 32 folder. Vbs can also be used to make programs .. but that's VB.NET .. uses most of the same coding though.
Please enjoy the tutorial .. and please comment and rate.
And please tell me if someone has beet me to making a vbs tutorial .. but i couldn't find one.
Other than cammel8 who seems to be really good with vbs scripting =P .. but i'm still gonna make the tutorial.
The above tutorial has scripts and picture to help ;you write a simple script to get information from a user. A VB Script can be invoked from inside a batch file.
Please look over the tutorial.



Teach a man to fish...Hard times for no programmers like me.

Very nice to receive so many lessons about how to do.
