WINDOWS 8 FEATURES AND REVEIWS:

STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATING SYSTEM FOR WINDOWS 8
by GREATPCTIPS AND WINDOWS 8 on JULY 19, 2010

1. Alpha – this is the stage of development where different conceptual components of the product are collected, still not interact properly to have a finished product to work fully.

2. Milestone one, 2, 3, etc. - Stage is reached where a particular set of job functions of the software.

3. Beta – stage in which the software already works and is tested for errors removed in the process. These are versions of Windows 7 from 6.1.7000 onwards.

4. RC (Release Candidate) – stage at which the product is almost complete and fully tested for recent errors have been made final, more cosmetic changes. These are versions of Windows 7 from 6.1.7077 onwards.

5. Escrow – at which stage a particular period is interrupted product development to enable developers and partners to test software in more detail.

6. Branch – stage in which there are several ways to achieve a particular functionality in the software and drafted several versions of software to be tested, which is the most successful way.

7. RTM – Release to Manifacture (Released to Manufacturing) – final version of the product. Software is now fully functional and further changes in its development will be made. Changes will only take the form of patches and hotfixes via the Internet.This version generally not available to end users, and is placed in the Developer’s Network for software developers and hardware to enable them to familiarize themselves with the final version and for it to develop its software, hardware and drivers. Based on this version is made and directions for Retail version. For Windows 7 final version 6.1 7600.16385.

8. OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer (Original Equipment Manufacturer) – practically the same final version as RTM, but intended for manufacturers of hardware and asemblatori. This version are trained to work and when you sell asemblatorite new computer will come with this version.

9. Retail (For Sale) – this version is sold to end users, possibly different from the RTM disks in the text of the pact to use the software and the availability of guidance, with two words did not differ as a structure of the installation files, they must are absolutely identical. In simple terms there are any changes to the agreement between end-users and Microsoft, there are directions for use. As an image (iso file) RTM = Retail

10. Development does not stop with the release of RTM, OEM, it remains ezhednvno with periodic updates and create servizni packs (SP1, SP2 …).
This became clear after leaks of documents on the Internet on Monday.Catalogue of applications will allow users to find and download programs that are verified by redmandskata company and they guarantee their good work. “Users receive this application you wish it would have been sure of his good work with any device operating Windows system 8, read the information about the new Windows Store.

People will be able to search the web or local applications of the catalog as long as you useWindows 8 as the operating system. From redmandskata company also planned and the possibility of adopting a developer of applications that help users. One goal of Microsoft is to ensure that licensing and better pay for developers, as this process is completely transparent.

It is quite clear that Windows Store will be a software service to Microsoft, which will work in “the cloud”. Furthermore, it appears that the service is planned for a long time, but will first be tested with the advent of Windows 8.

Here’s the shocking truth: dubious default settings, wrong configurations and wasteful processes are sapping many of your PC’s valuable resources. And what’s to blame? Windows.

Windows is deceptive. After you’ve installed it, the OS happily connects to the internet, downloads all the necessary drivers, configures itself and there you go – one stable PC all ready to roll. It couldn’t be easier or more convenient.

But the problem is, Windows doesn’t come optimised for performance. And it’s much the same story for most of your applications: they’re all set up to work, not roar along.

So what’s the answer? We say take control and don’t trust Windows’ default settings. Sure, they’ll yield a machine that is stable and dependable, and to a degree that’s the point. That’s what the average user wants, and it’s what Microsoft and PC makers need. By keeping configurations nicely conservative they’ll keep PCs the world over ticking along happily and calls to their technical support divisions low.

But we aren’t average users. We’re demanding users who want to squeeze every drop of performance out of our computers. So, join us as we declare war on default settings and automatic configurations. Take control of your PC and release its full potential!

Remove processes

A good first step when speeding up your system is to identify and remove the processes that are currently wasting its resources. Windows runs a slew of processes by default. Some are essential to the functioning of your machine, but many others are unnecessary resource hogs.

Process Hacker (a Task Manager-type utility with many more features) is perfect for sorting the wheat from the chaff, so go grab a copy from here.

Launch the program and rightclick the Name column header to define what information it should display. Ensure that ‘Name’, ‘PID’, ‘Pvt Memory’, ‘CPU’, ‘I/O Total’, ‘Username’, ‘Description’, ‘CPU History’, ‘Handles’ and ‘I/O History’ are all checked.

Now click ‘OK’ and you’ll see two small graphs – CPU History and I/O History – that give a visual pointer as to how each running process has been behaving in the past few seconds.

This is helpful information: if your hard drive has been thrashing for some unknown reason, for example, scan the I/O History column. Anything showing spikes of activity is a suspect.

Exactly what Process Hacker uncovers will vary depending on your system, but on our test PC we noticed that ‘IBurn.exe’ (a packet writing program provided with Cyberlink Media Suite) had regular I/O read spikes and that a process associated with VMware Workstation, ‘vmware-tray.exe’, was tying up CPU and I/O time.

It’s important not to overreact and start shutting down resource-hungry processes, because if you pick something important, your PC will crash. Instead, try to identify the process, and if it proves to be unnecessary, make sure it doesn’t reload next time.

To do this for IBurn.exe, we loaded the InstantBurn System Configuration Tool and clicked ‘Disable InstantBurn’ to stop it launching when Windows next started. The vmware-tray.exe process was just as easy to turn off: we launched VMware Workstation, clicked ‘Edit | Preferences | Workspace’ and cleared the ‘Show Tray Icon’ box to ensure it wouldn’t start again.

The next thing to do is click the Pvt Memory column header to sort your processes by the amount of RAM they’re using – a handy way to see the real resource hogs. Once again, we found programs that could be removed.

‘SkypePM.exe’ was the Skype Extras Manager, but we didn’t use them: clicking ‘Tools | Options | Advanced Settings’ and clearing ‘Automatically start extras’ meant that the process wouldn’t load next time.

If you’re looking for more savings, target ‘iTunesHelper.exe’. It launches iTunes when it detects an iPod or iPhone being plugged into the PC. If you don’t have one, run Regedit, head to ‘HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsCurrentVersion\Run’, right-click the iTunesHelper key and click ‘Delete’.

We’ve only carried out four tweaks so far, then, but we’ve freed up at least 47MB of RAM, as well as reducing background I/O and CPU activity. That’s not bad, but some judicious tweaking of Windows services may be able to deliver even more.

Stop services running

Windows services are small programs that run in the background, providing things to the OS and your applications. Click Start, type Services.msc and click the ‘Services’ applet link to see the services installed on your PC, which is almost guaranteed to include some that you don’t need. Here are some examples.

If you don’t use Media Center then the Windows Media Center Extender, Receiver and Scheduler services are all surplus to requirements. The Distributed Link Tracking Client maintains links between NTFS files over a network. If you don’t use that feature then it’s unnecessary.

Similarly, IP Helper is useless for those without an IPv6 network; Offline Files has no purpose if you don’t use its sync features; the Tablet PC Input Service is only for tablet PCs; and the Secure Socket Tunnelling Protocol Service is generally only useful if you’re connecting to a virtual private network (VPN).

APP BLOAT: Bloated apps like iTunes come with lots of unnecessary services and processes that slow your PC down

Potentially redundant third-party services include Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service, which come with iTunes and can be safely turned off if you don’t have an iPod or iPhone. Bonjour Service is only required if you need iTunes or Safari to discover network services; Nero BackItUp Scheduler belongs to Nero Burning ROM, and can be turned off if you’re not using the back-up tool; and Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service is useless unless you have the 3D glasses needed to use Nvidia’s 3D Vision technology.

Think carefully about the services that can be safely disabled on your PC. (And we do mean carefully: get this at all wrong and you could prevent Windows from loading, even in Safe Mode, so if in doubt about something, leave it alone).

Then go to work turning off the unnecessary components. In some cases you may be able to do this by uninstalling a program from Control Panel. That’s where you’ll find the Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D driver, for instance. But with most options you’ll have to launch the Services applet (‘services.msc’) and tweak the settings yourself.

SERVICES: Change a service’s Startup Type to ‘Manual’ to ensure that it won’t load automatically but can be started if needed

The safest approach is to double-click the redundant service and set its Startup Type to ‘Manual’; it won’t be launched automatically, but will still be available if another service requests it. The problem is that this can leave some services running unexpectedly, so if you’re 110 per cent sure that something isn’t in any way system critical – Apple Mobile Device, say – then set its Startup Type to ‘Disabled’, and you can be sure that it won’t be launched again.

Create a Turbo mode

Some of the most resource-hungry Windows services shouldn’t be turned off permanently. We found that Windows Search consumed more than 250MB of RAM on our test system, for instance. That’s annoying, but we’d miss the service if it weren’t there.

SEARCH: Shutting down Windows Search recovered more than 250MB of RAM

The SuperFetch caching service can grab plenty of RAM, too, and it isn’t always effective, but on balance it’s still worth keeping it running. You wouldn’t want these services to disappear forever, then, but what about if you created a batch file to turn them off just temporarily? This could free up a considerable amount of RAM.

You may then get better performance out of a game or some other heavy-duty application that you’re trying to run, and you could use another batch file to restore the services when you’re done.

To give this a try, launch ‘Services.msc’, double-click each service you’d like to disable and make a note of its short name. This is labelled as ‘Service name’ on the dialog. Now create a file called Turbo-On.bat that uses the net stop command (as shown below) to close each service.

Feel free to leave SuperFetch enabled if it helps the particular app that you’re trying to prioritise, and of course you can add as many other services or programs as you like, just as long as they’re not system critical.

Here we’ve included a sample line that would shut down Skype’s services:

net stop wsearch
net stop sysmain
‘\program files\skype\phone\skype.exe’ /shutdown

Then create a second file called Turbo-Off.bat that uses the net start command to relaunch everything, as here:

net start wsearch
net start sysmain
‘\program files\skype\phone\skype.exe’

Store these files somewhere safe, and create shortcuts to each. Next, right-click the shortcut, click ‘Properties | Shortcut | Advanced’ and check ‘Run as administrator’. Now, whenever you need the maximum possible performance, launch the ‘Turbo-On.bat’ shortcut to free up some RAM and system resources. Then fire up ‘Turbo-Off. bat’ when you’re done to restore normal operations.

So far we’ve concentrated on absolute ways to divert your PC’s resources. But what about those programs that you must leave running, but aren’t system-critical – such as mail apps? It’s possible to recover resources from these applications, too, although it may take a little extra work to do so.

Let’s assume that you always need to have Outlook running in the background. By default this may grab processor time on any of your CPU cores (assuming you’ve got a multicore CPU). You can restrict the app to just one, freeing up the others for different programs.

In Process Hacker, right-click the ‘Outlook.exe’ process, click ‘Affinity’ and ensure that only ‘CPU 0? is checked. Repeat the process with other non-essential programs that you have launched (nothing security-related though, and no Windows components).

Their performance will fall a little because they’re restricted to one CPU, but the rest of your apps should now benefit, as they get improved access to the rest of your system’s cores. Another way to make other apps run quicker is to reduce the CPU and I/O priority of a background process.

Windows does this itself with the Windows Search indexer and other components so that they don’t interfere too much with foreground apps, and you can apply the same trick yourself to limit a program’s impact on your system.

In Process Hacker, right-click the process you’d like to change (avoiding security tools, Windows components and anything system critical) and select ‘Priority | Idle’. Then right-click the process again and select ‘Miscellaneous | I/O Priority | 0? to make sure that it gets the least possible share of your system’s attention.

You could also increase the priority of more important processes to High, which may mean that they get more CPU time, but be careful – doing so is risky. It’s more likely that your programs will block Windows’ own processes from running, and that could result in your PC crashing or locking up.

Don’t expect too much from these techniques, though, especially if you don’t have many background processes. With just Outlook and a browser running in the background on our machine, our tests showed that priority and affinity tweaking delivered only a two to five per cent improvement in foreground application performance.

However, if your PC is packed with busy background processes, this can be a very useful way to manage them. If you see good results then you can change your program shortcuts so that you’re able to launch them using the command line ‘start.exe’ tool, which can set their priority and affinity without Process Hacker’s help.

LASSO: Process Lasso can optimise all your process priorities to help deliver improved system speeds

It may also be worth trying Process Lasso, which assigns and manages process priorities automatically. It’s a commercial product, but it’s reasonably priced (from $20), and there’s a free trial available so you can see if it works.

Further basic rules

If you’ve followed our advice so far, you’ll have discovered and tamed resource-hungry processes, turned off unwanted Windows services and taken steps to reduce the impact of many other programs on your PC’s performance.

That’s great, but to get the most from your PC you’ll still need to follow two simple rules while you’re working. If you have a bulky application open but you won’t be using it for a while, don’t leave the window open on your desktop – minimise it. Windows will often free up some of the RAM it’s using immediately.

If you’re walking away from your PC and leaving an app running some lengthy task – rendering video, say – then make sure that the program is running in the foreground (just click its title bar). Windows gives more CPU time to the foreground app and you should find it completes more quickly.

Make games faster

Nothing is quite as demanding on your system as a cutting-edge game. To get playable frame rates you’ll generally need lots of fast RAM, a powerful graphics card, a decent CPU and a speedy hard drive. But if your PC isn’t quite up to scratch, don’t give up immediately – there are a few tweaks you can apply that may improve things.

As we’ve already mentioned, detecting and removing resource-hungry processes, freeing up RAM and keeping your hard drive defragmented and optimised will make a real difference. Updating your video drivers can deliver even more benefits.

For example, Nvidia claimed that its 195.62 release would increase performance by 10 to 20 per cent in many 3D games, as well as by 38 per cent in Far Cry 2, and by up to 80 per cent in Lost Planet: Colonies. Impressive? Yes, but unfortunately the driver was soon withdrawn because users were reporting that their cards were overheating, so updating on the day of release probably isn’t the best idea.

KEEP UPDATED: Keep your video drivers up to date to ensure the best possible performance

Stay aware of what’s going on, but let others try out new drivers for a couple of weeks before you jump in. In the meantime, you can always get an immediate speed boost by overclocking your video card. It’s surprisingly easy.

Overclock your card

Launch the Display Settings applet, click ‘Advanced Settings’, choose your display adaptor’s tab and fire up its control panel. If this is an ATI card then you should see an Overdrive section with sliders for GPU core and memory clockspeeds; Nvidia cards have the same, and add a Shader Clock slider for good measure. (Don’t see that? Make sure you’re using the Nvidia drivers, not those provided with Windows, and install the Nvidia System Tools from here.)

Tempting though it might be, don’t immediately push all these sliders to the maximum just to see what happens. Your PC will almost certainly crash, unless your video card overheats and dies before that happens. It’s much better to take a gradual approach, one slider at a time.

Push up the Memory Core clock by maybe 10MHz, save the changes and then run something like the Crysis benchmark (demo at www.crysisdemo.com, benchmarking tool here). If the demo looks fine then repeat the process, perhaps reducing the increment to 5MHz after a couple of overclocks.

CRYSIS: Tweaking just two configuration settings almost tripled our Crysis frame rate

If you’ve pushed the card too far then artefacts will begin to appear: strange lines, noise and general video oddities. In this case you should make a note of your last successful clockspeed, return to the default settings and move on to the next slider.

When finished, you’ll have the highest successful value for each clock, so try setting all the clocks at the appropriate value. This probably won’t be stable, so wind back the clocks you pushed furthest and try again until you’re artefact-free.

OVERCLOCKING: RivaTuner is an excellent video overclocking tool that works with both ATI and Nvidia cards

We tried this on a test PC and managed to increase our GeForce 8800 GTS performance by 14 per cent – nothing spectacular, but not bad for a couple of hours’ work. Be sure to monitor your GPU temperature and increase fan speeds if necessary. RivaTuner has everything you need to safely tweak both ATI and Nvidia video cards.

Find the bottleneck

If everything we’ve discussed so far still doesn’t get you close to the frame rates you need, your system may have a bottleneck that’s holding everything else up. Is your system RAM up to the task, for instance?

When equipped with only 2GB of generic DDR2 DIMMs, our test PC barely reached 20fps on the Crysis demo (1,600 x 1,200, high quality). We replaced these with 4GB of Crucial’s finest Ballistix offerings and frame rates went up by almost 25 per cent – not bad for an £80 to £90 outlay.

And that’s just the start – faster and more reliable RAM means you’ll probably be able to overclock your CPU further, too. A RAM upgrade didn’t offer the same benefits if we tried to run Crysis at the very highest-quality levels, though: the 2GB test returned 11.75fps, the 4GB a near-identical 11.915fps.

That’s because the graphics card is now the bottleneck. It simply couldn’t deliver acceptable performance at the settings we’d chosen.

As a last resort, then, you can always change your game settings. There’s usually an intimidating list of quality-related options, but tweaking just one or two of these will often be enough.

In Crysis, for instance, just changing the Shading Quality setting from ‘Very High’ to ‘Medium’ was enough to see our test PC’s 1,600 x 1,200 frame rate leap from 11.915fps to 23.61fps.

Although Crysis will by default use DirectX 10 when installed on Windows Vista and 7, switching to DirectX 9 gave us a further big performance jump to a new frame rate of 35.49fps. There’s no guarantee that other games with a similar option will see such a huge improvement, but it’s worth a try.

We finished by applying some of the techniques we mentioned earlier. Disabling PC resource hogs increased the frame rate by four per cent; turning off pointless services gave us a three per cent increase; using Process Lasso added more than five per cent; and overclocking returned an extra 14 per cent.

They’re small gains, but every little really does help, and the incremental effect meant that a previously unplayable game was now purring along at more than 45fps. That’s close to a 400 per cent improvement – a real result.

In this information age and today more and more people use computers to help them reach information or to do some work. Every pc system in order to operate uses an operation system and one of the most frequently used operation systems today is called Microsoft Windows. Many versions are available but when it comes down to repair there are some fundamental things that people should know to easily help themselves and to know exactly when a help from a specialist is necessary. Anti virus program is what you all need to know about.

With a simple copying of your important data into one or more locations or you can use more sophisticated methods like partition backups or system backup. I will not give any details because the goal of this article is only to give you the basics to enable anyone who want to begin from there. Now I will tell you about some basic operations you need to learn to perform on a regular basis.

Data backup is essential, no doubt about it. It is done by simple copy of your important data into one or more locations or you can use more sophisticated methods like partition backups or system backup. When making backup keep in mind that the keeper of it is very important. If you keep the backup on your hard drive the chances for it to be damaged are big. They are even bigger when using floppy diskettes or CDs. One good way could be a fast ftp access or on other Internet location that is secured, big enough and fast enough for your needs.

Your computer registry is another part of your system you should know about. It is made to keep almost every option that software and hardware use to work. Many computer software could help you clean it up and tune up your system but you should know that sometimes this could be dangerous because if you damage a critical segment of your registry data the system may crush or some of your software could not work properly. Usually people reinstall the software that causes problems and most of the time this could fix things up but the system registry always needs to be taken seriously no matter what operations you want to perform on it.
The system checking is another opportunity to analyze possible problems with your computer pc software or hardware components.

Every windows pc system has tools designed to help you on that matter. On the market you can find some more advanced software too provided from Symantec or other software corporations. Sometimes when you store important information you may even want to ask professionals to keep you safe because it is impossible for everyone to know even the main principals on how viruses works and how to keep yourself save from them.
There are variety of ways to contact a professional today or to install an anti-virusprogram. This could save you not only time, nerves and money but it could help you design a new way to perform the operations you need and help you take your work to a new plane.

Is your computer running slow? If so, is your slow computer getting you down? You may be wondering, “why is my computer so slow?” You may also want to know how to fix a slow running computer.

Several months ago my slow computer began slowing down even more. At first it was just a nuisance. It took a little more time to get things done. Simple things like copying, moving and deleting files. I began to think, “why is my computer so slow?”

What I did not think at the time was that the reason my slow computer was slowing down even more was because of a security issue. I had no idea. I thought it was just that the computer was getting old or because my children downloaded too many computer games.

I did not know that I had been the object of a Trojan Horse computer security attack. I soon found out because I was the victim of identity theft. Someone ransacked my credit cards and my bank account. It was the first time I had been the victim of identity theft. At the time I did not know about identity theft protection, if I had I could have gone about preventing identity theft.

It was not until much later that I found out that the way the crooks got my data was from my computer. Basically, it works like this. The criminals get a piece of software onto your computer and this software then steals your information and transports it back to the bad guys. They then use your data to run up charges and open new accounts in your name.

So, what does this have to do with your computer running slow? A lot actually. Here’s how it works. The software the evil-doers put on your computer is very processor intensive. In other words, it puts an extra load on your computer. It’s like a parasite that saps energy from the host. The result is that your computer has to do more work. The result of that is you will have a slow computer. It slows down because of the extra work load.

So, what’s the moral of this story? The point is that your computer running slow may be caused by a security attack. Your slow computer may need to be scanned for identity theft stealing software. In order to fix a slow running computer you make need to get rid of the software put on by the bad guys.

If you look at identity theft statistics you will see the need for identity theft protection. Millions of people every year are the victims of identity theft. It’s really only a matter of time until your slow computer is determined to have been made slow due to an identity theft attack.

“Why is my computer running slow. I wish I had a nickle for every time I’ve heard people say that. Most of the people in my office have several machines. Typically they have one Windows machine and one Apple machine. The split between PC computers and Mac computers is about fifty fifty.

However, it’s always the PC computers that people say run slowly. I’ve repaired
the slow computer problem several times so now I’m the local guru, as it were. As a
result, right after I hear people say, “why is my computer running slow,” I then see them look at me.
Then they ask for my assistance.

I’m a good sport about it. I know what it’s like to have a slow computer, it sucks. Here is how I fix the slow PCs. This process can often get the computers
as fast as new. I begin by asking a series of questions to learn some of the history.

My first query is usually something about how old the computer is, when did they buy it. If they tell me the computer is more than three years old, I tell them to buy a new one. I tell them this because any Windows personal computer that is more than three years old was designed to run application software
that is now obsolete.

Newer software programs are designed to use the full capabilities of the newest hardware. As such, you are basically asking your old computer to do something it was not
designed to do. This can and will slow it down. Okay, so, if the computer is less than three
years old, I then ask about kids. I ask if kids have access to and use the computer. Seems
like a crazy question, unless you have kids. If you have kids, you know exactly why I ask this question.
‘Nuff said. Hang on, hear me out. If the kids have access and they use the computer they are going to run gaming software because that’s what they like. Game programs are nothing but Trojan Horses full of bad software. They deliver spyware, malware, viruses and all manner of other electronic junk. As a result, your machine slows down because
of all of the bad software.

As you might have figured out, the fix is to get rid of the games. Delete them, uninstall them or use remover programs to do the job. Okay, so you’ve gotten rid of the games and your computer is still running slow. What now? The answer is a virus scan. A virus scan will tell you if your PC is infected with a
virus and or which ones. Most scanner software will also remove the viruses it finds, if you want.

If you are given this option, get rid of all of the found viruses. The first time you do a virus scan you will be amazed at how many it finds. It can often be dozens or more. Most viruses don’t impact your computer in a big way. Some, a few, can be totally devastating and destroy data or swipe your information. Mostly they just “gum up the works” and make your PC run slowly.

So, if the viruses are removed and you still find yourself saying, “why is my computer running slow,” then it’s time to move on to spyware. Spyware may be responsible for your computer running slowly. Spyware takes a huge speed toll on the computer processor
because it’s basically parasitic. It’s a parasite that uses up processing capacity and that slows your computer down. So, what’s this spyware software anyway? Spyware is software that is designed to steal data from your computer. It steals passwords, keystrokes, files and basically
anything the programmer built it to do. As I mentioned, spyware takes up computer processing capacity and that slows your computer down. It slows it down because it has increased the workload on the processor. The CPU (central processing unit) already has a lot of work to do, especially if it’s old. Spyware comes along and adds to that workload. The result is that your computer
begins running slow.

Fast forward and assume your spyware has been all removed (use spyware removal software). Further assume that you are still asking yourself, “why is my computer running slow?” If that’s the case, the next thing
is registry repair. The Windows registry is a core part of the Microsoft Windows operating system. The Windows registry is like a kind of master file. The Windows registry controls many aspects of the Windows operating system and the personal computer at large. Like any file, the Windows Registry can become corrupt. This can happen as a consequence.

The Windows registry can also be hacked by spyware or a virus. The thing to do is to run a registry check and repair software that will find and fix any problems. After you have run a Windows registry repair program and resolved any resulting issues the next and final step is to run a patch update. This basically means checking to make sure the Windows operating system has all the patches necessary
to be current. You can download the fixes at the Microsoft Windows operating system web site.

Once your Windows operating system is up to date on its patches, it will tell you when a new patch is available. All you need to do it keep an eye on your system tray on your desktop. When the Windows icon goes yellow, click on it and follow the directions. Oopps. Almost forgot, you need to run a hardware diagnostic. This will inspect
all of the hardware systems on your personal computer and the interface to the Windows operating system. Your computer probably came with a diagnostic when you got it new. If you can’t find it, check the manufacturer’s web site. The good news is that you don’t have to do all these steps one at a time. There are lots of good programs
on the market that will do most or all of the steps in a single pass process. Do a few Google searches to find one you like. Often personal computer repair type software can be purchased for under $100 and is well worth it.

Virut is a patching virus. This means that Virut will inject malicious code into your computers existing executable programs (.exe’s and .scr’s). The malicious code can be used to do anything; it’s up to the malware author.

The problem with Virut lies in the quality of the code…it’s very buggy and can cause programs to run extremely slow and randomly crash. The longer Virut is present on your computer the more exe’s it will infect.

If you’ve been infected with W32.Virut then you’ve probably been told that the only way to get rid of Virut completely is to reformat your PC. This is simply NOT TRUE!

It’s true that this is the easiest way, but what if you can’t reformat (as in your client says NO WAY!!!)? Do you just say “Sorry Sir, Have A Nice Day” … You won’t hear that from me, I just can’t say no to my clients (i need the money :P).

Anyway, here is how you can get rid of W32.Virut using free software. Please keep in mind that the technique I’ll be teaching you below is get’s rid of Virut and lot’s of other nasties that usually go hand in hand with Virut.

Step By Step Instructions for cleaning Virut without having to reformat the target PC.

1. On a computer NOT infected with Virut download Ultimate Boot CD 4 Win (version 3.50 or higher) from ubcd4win.com.

2. Install UBCD4WIN to a new folder (c:\ubcd4win35 for example).

3. Download Dr. Web’s Cure IT and save it to c:\DrWeb (or whatever folder you want).

4. Launch the UBCD4Win PE Builder. Configure the plugins you’d like to use. I suggest Avira 9 and SAS (click the config button to update them).

5. For the custom directory choose the folder that contains your Dr. Web Cure IT (launch.exe). Your PE Builder window should look like the one below. Source contains all the files from your windows xp disc, Custom contains the folder to Dr. Web’s launch.exe, output should be BartPE, Media output can be whatever path and filename you want.

6. Burn the .iso you just created in step 5 to a DVD or CD. (how to burn an .iso)

7. Boot your computer from the UBCD4WIN disc that you just burned in step 6. (how to boot a computer from a bootable disc)

8. Once you’re booted into the UBCD4WIN environment open My Computer – then explore your CD/DVD – then Double click your Dr Web folder – double click Launch.exe.

9. Once Dr. Web starts it will want to do a quick scan. You can cancel this once it starts (by clicking the stop button on the right). Check out the settings below and start scanning. Be prepared to wait ALONG time. Once Virut is found Dr. Web will ask you what you want to do. Select “Cure All”.

10. Dr. Web will probably find a lot of other infections. As long as they are not Windows system files you can probably just delete them. I know, I know…”but Matt…how do I know if it’s a legit Windows system file”….Google is your friend, research it. Just right click the file and click properties. If the file does NOT have a version tab there is a really great chance it’s NOT legit. Also, if you think a file is suspicious then upload it to Virustotal.com for analysis (requires internet connection in the UBCD4WIN environment).

This concludes my tutorial on how to clean Virut from a PC. I truly hope it helped ya!

Hi everybody i want to share with you my experience form the internet.

I selected for you some programs witch are good and so far are paying. After some research over internet blogs i choose those sites because they seems that are good sites. There are and lots of sites that are paying but you have to invest some money and this is hiding some risk because you don`t know where are going your money and will they profit. All you have to do is to register on those sites and be patient, log in every day, click on the links and earn money. Every site wants form you to be good and not trying to cheat on them, like register lots of accounts from one address. When you register you are a free member which means that you will receive less earnings then premium members.

Every site allows you to buy from them referrals this means referrals are members just like you but when you buy them they bring you some extra cash to your account, how much you receive from them depends on their activity and percent from their earnings, this could be from 2% to 50 %.

The site is giving you the opportunity to earn for free referrals by advertise your referral link in internet blogs and forums wherever you want,more active referrals you have in your account the possibility of earn more cash grows. In many sites peoples are registering them self’s with many accounts hoping they will earn more cash,but they don’t know that admins are watching is there many accounts from one household and bans their accounts or when they are trying to withdraw accumulated money they never received them in bank accounts. The amount of withdraw money is depending on site policy,so that’s why every site considers the withdraw limit and your obligations to receive your earnings. Another rule you will have to fulfill is that every single site you click must be viewed for at least 30 seconds, and not try to open more advertises in one site simultaneously this could ban your account really. Some sites are paying to read mails and they are sending you mails with advertises, other sites are paying you to play online games, to take surveys, complete offers and lots of opportunity’s which you can choose and do. You can advertise even your site by buying Link Ads for some cash that’s for sure will bring some traffic to your site if you need it, and you can receive some extra revenue`s to you budget. The process is amazingly simple. Once you create a free account (only 1 account / member), you can start clicking on links they provide.

You will view the advertised website for at least 30 seconds. Your earnings will automatically be deposited into your account! Once you reach withdraw money , you can withdraw your earnings by Check, Liberty Reserve, e-Gold, Alert Pay, PayPal and Money Bookers and many many other ways

Hey computer user, I am the webmaster of the site Windows Registry Repair and I am here to help with your computer woes. Have you noticed a slow down in your computer since you first bought it? Well, that may be the cause of corrupt or bad registry files but here, I will show you how to fix that problem of yours.

The windows registry is the most important thing to keep repaired in your computer. The Windows registry is like a large filing cabinet where Windows stores all the data pertinent to the proper functioning of the computer. System settings and program preferences are all stored there, and over time the registry can become too big or disorganized. When this happens, Windows has a harder time finding the proper files and thus the computer seems to slow down.

Every time you install a program or piece of hardware on your computer, new registry entries are created. When you later uninstall these things, sometimes they do not completely remove themselves from your system. They can leave behind registry entries that will later interfere with the normal functioning of your PC.

There are several common problems associated with bad registry files. Problems with the Windows registry are a common cause of Windows crashes and error messages. Cleaner tools allow you to fix your registry and optimize your PCs performance. With a few easy steps, you are able to find problems caused by invalid entries, references and links in the Windows registry and provides a list of the errors found, you can then choose to electively repair each item or automatically repair them all.

Registry repair tools are some of the safest registry cleaning methods available in the market today. It’s scanning engine is fast,thorough and safe. Whenever you clean the Registry, a corresponding Undo file is generated for any changes made which can be used to recreate the entries deleted. You can restore any changes by clicking ‘Restore previous repairs’. For added security, Registry cleaners generally use an ‘ignore list’ containing entries which when encountered upon while scanning are ignored.

It is very simple to fix your registry files, get a registry cleaner! If you need to fix corrupt registry files on your PC, then you will be glad to hear that there is an easy way to do it. You may have heard that the registry is a complicated system of files that should never be touched. This is only partly true. You should never try to tinker with the registry by hand if you don’t know what you’re doing. The registry can easily be cleaned of corrupt registry entries by using an automatic registry cleaner tool.

These tools are quick and easy to use. They scan the Windows registry and find all the corrupt, broken, and obsolete registry files and then allow you to remove them with the click of a button. Often removing these files will result in a computer that runs faster and has no more error messages or problems with freezes or crashes.

If you don’t clean your registry, you find yourself having several problems with your computer. The registry tends to get cluttered over time with broken, obsolete, orphaned, and corrupt registry entries. The causes for this can vary. When you uninstall a program it’s often the case that not all of the program gets removed. Often registry entries are left over. These orphaned entries can begin to cause problems when Windows tries to read other files from the registry. The result are errors or dramatic slowdowns in PC speed. Running a registry cleaner can clean up all the orphaned and corrupt registry keys and fix corrupt registry entries, allowing your computer to run smoothly again.

The Windows registry is like the central nervous system of your PC. It is the central filing area for all the important preference and settings files that are created when you load software or hardware on your computer.

We know your wondering why would you use the Internet as a backup method. Well, there are a great deal of reasons. First, you can use the Internet to backup your data instead of dedicated hardware or software. If you have an Internet connection, you’re ready.Second, you can retreive your files from any computer connected to the Internet (well, only by you of course).And with good security and encryption, nobody will get your data or even realize where it is with your internet attached storage.

The Internet has thousands of pedabytes of disk space available, and there are several good services you can find that specialize in Internet backup.I pay right at $4.00 each month to store just under 30 gigabytes of files.Now I’m using 60% of my backup space which leaves plenty of room for my future updates at a very reasonable price.

The first step is to decide which service is best for you.Most of the “free trial” providers are way more expensive each month that the providers that use simple pricing.So with a little research you can join a site with superior features and an overall lower cost by avoiding free trials. It’ll save you alot of money in the end. With all the blogs, internet backup comparison sites, etc. it’s easy to make a good decision.

So now, you’ve made a decision as to which provider you’ll use. Now you need to decide which files are crucial to you and that you need to backup. The best online backup providers have software that does all the work for you. and will copy the backup files AFTER securing them with good encryption. As you can easily now see is that the best providers are also the easiest to use.And the best providers will run identically on the common operating systems (Windows, Linux, and OSX).

The basic reason is that you’ll go somewhere else if they make it too hard for you to use. Just as in any business the market is a competitive one and services who don’t have a rich feature set or are only providing services for Windows or MAC, etc. generally arn’t very reliable and could not be there in a month or two. So make sure that they support Windows, Linux, and MacIntosh. If they’re serious about their business they will.

So, now you have a good outline of what to look for with Internet backups, here’s some basic questions you need to ask.

Do they give you a software client that makes it easy for you?

Does their software provide all features on Linux OSX, and Windows?

Can you use one account to backup all your computers?

What kind of Internet backup is it? How often do the backups occur?

You have other issues that are important to you.But by getting the answers to these basic questions will serve you well. And your network backup will keep your data protected
