LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Preparing Customized Installers in Accordance with
Software Utilization Guide and End User Agreement
Background Information for Learners:
After reading this Learning Activity Sheet, YOU MUST be able to be familiar
and create customized installers properly.
Installer
An installer is a piece of software that is used to
install software programs on a system. An installer is a way
to simplify the process of installing software by providing the
user with a step-by-step process with the ability to select the
desired options.

Useful Software Programs for Windows Users:

Good Antivirus
A good antivirus software is a must for PCs to safeguard them from harmful
threats, trojans, malware, spyware, ransomware etc.
Below I listed some of the best antivirus programs.
- Kaspersky - Bit Defender
- Norton Internet Security - MacAfee
- AVG Antivirus - Panda
- Avira - ESET
VLC Media Player
Listening to songs and watching movies is one of the most
important things we do in our PC. So, we need a good media
player which can play almost all formats of audio and video files.
So VLC Media Player comes 2nd in the list.

Registry Cleaners/Tune up Utilities: -

You need an all-in-one software which cleans registry
errors and junk files from your PC and makes your PC run
smooth and fast. For this I would recommend Tune-up Utilities,
Unable Power Suite or Cleaner.
I suggest you get one of those three programs and run
them when you start using your PC. I guarantee you that your
PC will run like a dream using these utilities.

Image Burner (Nero): -

Nero is the best software if you want to burn any type of
CD or DVD, but Nero is not free so I recommend Imp Burner
which is very much similar to Nero but you can get it for free.

Firefox and Google Chrome

These are the two leading browsers right now that I

recommend you get.
Mozilla Firefox is the best browser ever made for its
multi-functional use. Google Chrome is the fastest and safest
browser. It’s a good idea to have at least 2 browsers installed,
in case something doesn’t work or display right with one browser,
you can test it using the other one.

MS Office / Open Office

We can’t imagine a business without MS Office. Right from student to a
business man, it’s a must have software, but it’s not for free so I recommend you
use Open Office which is very much similar to MS office with the added bonus that it
is free.
Adobe Reader

If you want to read eBooks and pdf documents, then it’s a

must software for you.

Seven (7) Zip

This is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to
place groups of files within compressed containers known as
"archives"

Internet Download Manager:

IDM is a must have software for PC as it increases our overall
download speed by 5 times.

uTorrent
uTorrent is a light weight and very efficient torrent client.

Adobe Photoshop/GIMP
Adobe Photoshop is a great software for editing photos, but it’s
sadly not for free, I have an alternative for this called GIMP, which
is free and very similar to Adobe Photoshop. It can also be sued to
make gifs for whoever is interested.

Reva Uninstaller
Reva Uninstaller is a freeware innovative uninstall utility
much faster than Windows Add/Remove applet. With its advanced
and fast algorithm, Reva Uninstaller performs a scan before and after
you uninstall an application.

Adobe Flash Player

This is a must software if you want to watch flash videos on
your computer.

Malware Bytes: -
Malware Bytes is a tool that quarantines and removes malicious
and infected files on your Personal Computer, and it can optimize your
PC’s performance.

Zone Alarm Firewall:

Zone Alarm is a cutting- e d g e firewall security option which
blocks dangerous sites and downloads. Zone Alarm comes with a ‘Two-
way firewall’ which keeps track of all incoming and outgoing traffic
protecting you from hackers and other intruders.
Team Viewer
Team Viewer is the best software for remote desktop viewing.
You can share your desktop from anywhere in this world with this
software.

Notepad++
Notepad++ is a free source and one of the best text editors for
several programming languages under the Windows environment.

Folder Lock
Folder locker allows you to store all your files with a protected
password.

Sandboxes
This is a must have software for virus testers. If you
download any application from internet just run it in Sandboxes to
check whether it’s infected or not.

Key scrambler
In this world of the internet, you can’t always know when a
keylogger gets installed on your PC and makes you lose your
confidential passwords. Key scrambler software scrambles your keys
and helps to stay safe even if a keylogger gets installed somehow.

WinRAR
-is a 32-bit / 64-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, the powerful
archiver and archive manager.

File Opener
File Opener is a software which can open different formats of
files. This software can fulfill the need of 10 other programs for
opening files.

VMWARE WORKSTATION
VMware helps us in installing
multiple Operating Systems over one
single Operating System. Puzzled?
Well, to simplify things, VMware
allows us to run multiple Operating
Systems (called slaves) on our
computer. Say you are having Windows
7 installed on your computer as the
main Operating System. VMware runs
as an application on Windows 7 and allows us to install other Operating Systems like
Windows XP, Linux and 20 other types of Operating Systems. So, you do not need to
boot your computer to change your OS. One VMware Workstation can
accommodate 20 such OSes.

DEEP FREEZE
- is a reboot to restore software application available for the
Microsoft Windows, and macOS operating systems which allows
system administrators to protect the core operating system and
configuration files on a workstation or server by restoring a computer
back to the saved configuration, each time the computer is restarted.

CYBERGHOST VPN
Are you banned from any forum? Try out this software. If you
want to surf anonymously on the web without displaying your real IP
address, you use this VPN – Cybergoth VPN. There are many other
proxy software programs on web. But none of them gives total
protection for your computer. Also, most of them are restricted to only
browser activities.

CREATING BOOTABLE FLASH DRIVE USING RUFUS.

Use Rufus to write an .iso file

1. Download Rufus . Rufus is a standalone program and does not require
installation.
2. Open the Rufus program from where you downloaded it to run it.
3. From the Device drop-down menu, select your USB drive, if it isn't
automatically selected.
4. Under "Boot selection", select Disk or ISO image (Please select), if it isn't
already chosen, and then click SELECT to choose the .iso file you
downloaded.
5. Leave "Image option" set to Standard Windows installation.
6. Leave "Partition scheme" set to GPT.
7. For "Target system", select UEFI (non CSM).
8. Under "Format Options", to ensure the flash drive is compatible with UEFI,
select FAT32 for "File System".
9. To create the flash drive with the "Press any key to boot from USB" prompt
at startup, under the "Advanced format" options, select Create extended label
and icon files.
10. When you are finished selecting options, click Start. When prompted, confirm
that you want to erase the flash disk.
 11. The .iso files will start copying to the flash drive; the process can take several
minutes. When Rufus is done, close the program and eject and remove the
flash drive.
