Why are you running windows with its inherent updates/backdoors,... seems another os may in your future.
 
Lol all of em have vulnerabilities. Hell he might aswell not even connect to the internet to be the safest and attach his laptop to his wrist and carry a pistol at all times like courriers do.
 
...I don't understand what exactly is being asked for here.

I get that you want the computer to run 24/7, but the internet connection to be closed at certain times. What I'm not understanding is the utter insanity and paranoia that's on display.

You've stated that basically any way to connect to the internet has been closed, so what in Hades are you connecting to the internet for? Not having any MS components, flash, or scripts basically means that you can't do anything media related. Assuming that all you want to do is send conversations back and forth, why do you need the internet? There are dozens of ways to send simple text communications that are more secure. You're obviously not a completely paranoid person, given that you're asking for advice on the internet.


All of this said, what is wrong with the OP? If you want true security, you need to disconnect from the internet. If you want security through obscurity, run back track Linux. If you want security through a lack of features run a Mac. Trying to make a Windows distribution secure yourself is foolish. You cut off a dozen potential vectors for attacks, and you've officially lost most of your functionality. If you believe that MS, Intel, and your ISP is watching you then you've either got a reason to be watched or you've got some paranoia.



My only logical conjecture is that you're running something that may be fishy. A file sharing network, rogue peer to peer network, or any one of a dozen other things that you don't want to run during peak traffic hours (when ISPs heavily scrutinize high traffic users). If that's the case, please find some other place to pedal your questions. This forum doesn't harbor or tolerate activities that are either illegal or morally grey. If that wasn't your goal, then you've begun this discussion with a seriously skewed perspective. I can't help but think there is a language barrier here, because I don't see any other way to interpret this request.
 
You don't trust MS; however you are using the OS they wrote?
I guess you went through every line of code to make sure MS didn't sneak something past you in that stripped down Windows.

You might wanna give a try to FreeDOS ; was not written by MS.

Still think something is not quite right with OP.
There are to many things that don't sound right.
Sorta like this post:
Installing DDVRT on the router is a no go , my flatmates will kill me if i turning the router on off . LOL
and, then this:
Unfortunately our router is from the isp I don't have access.
Sounds like he could install DDWRT; but can't make a schedule in the router saying he can't access it.
Is it your router/WiFi service?

And then saying, he has no Fn+Key... and, I gave him the what Dell says to use the touch control buttons...

All of a sudden we don't understand and he/she wants the thread closed.
Yep, might as well close the thread... seems we are un-able to comply with his/her narrow wishes/demands.

Just fishy.
Just my opinion on my observations in this thread.

Almost sounds like another member who likes to strip down WIndows with a passion and won't take no for an answer.
Could they be related?
 
Lmao. This guy refuses to listen to any suggestions... So paranoid. You dump windows updates your machine gets infested with all kinds of crap.

Yes because non of the suggestions i want or need i asked a simple question that's all.
 
I looked briefly, and I have no idea if this will work, but...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI

Since you said it was Broadcom, it should start with VEN_14E4. You can get the full line from Device Manager. The key directly under it has a DWORD name ConfigFlags. 0 is enabled, 1 is disabled. I don't know if that value is read-only or not.
 
All the fixes we could have provided could have been done with gpedit possibly but who knows if the op even left that in tact.
 
Unfortunately our router is from the isp I don't have access.
Ummm... you should have. 192.168.2.254

Once inside the router's config panel you should be able to able/disable the wifi connection.
 
Easy answer is no, nothing commerically available for what you need. Seeing as how the previous work arounds and thru's are not to your liking or willing to do, I have to reach into my bag and pull out a movie line( a bit condensed at that) - cigarette and pancake? bong and blintz? cigar and a crepe? no? well then there is no pleasing you - If you have the certs you claim then writing some code or knowing someone to write code for you should be easy, other wise there is nothing we can do to help out.
 
Two choices:

1. Use the included software for your laptop to do what you are requesting or
2. Pay money to someone to create a custom program that can do what you ask.
