How to Repair Windows Operating System on Old Computer and Making it Faster

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

If your computer gets slow, you will be waiting longer and longer for it to complete it’s tasks.

Is your Registry an unorganized collection of entreis? Then your slow Vista has arrived

Your windows operating systems contains a very important file called windows Registry. It holds data about your computer. The location of all the software you have installed, the DLLs files, program short cuts that reside on your desktop and in the Windows start menu.

windows registry will record allmost every event that happens on your Windows Computer. This could be the position of the files that you have used recently, it could also be information about currently installed programs and programs that have been uninsatlled again.

Many things can cause a PC to become slow, and they can hit any PC.

Help you PC to get fast again, using a professional tool.

A professional solution normally follows these steps:

  • Scanning your PC and detecting the errors that causes your PC to be slow.
  • Fixing the errors
  • Eventually your computer is faster, it will also boot faster because it no loger has any registry errors.

Other reasons why your PC might be slow

A cluttered Windows Registry is not the only thing that can make your computer slow

Occasionally anti virus software is causing your computer to be slow because it is configured badly

The anti virus program can be configured to analize irrelevant files, this will cause the program to waste a lot of valuable CPU time.

Additionally anti virus programs are often set to analyza local harddrives as well as network drives.

A local hard drive is much faster than a network drive, thus scanning a network drive eats up a lot of CPU.

Normally there is hardly no risk involved in disabling network scanning in your anti-virus software

How To Identify Scams On The Internet

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Look before you leap

What is the one thing that an Internet scam aims to do?
Simple answer: separate you from your money.
Solution: look carefully at any offer to help you to earn money
that requires you to pay the company anything at all that
seems excessive.

Paying for value received is one thing, paying for the benefit
of being able to sell someone else’s products is a benefit only
to the company. It is also a warning to be careful.

That does not mean that all companies asking you to
pay something for membership, services or products are
scams. It does mean that you should check carefully.

Costly experience teaches lesson

This advice comes from my own costly experience. I, and
thousands of others, paid from $1,900 to $44,900 each
for Internet malls. The more you paid the greater the
guaranteed annual income if purchasers worked a minimum
of 10 hours a week. The top package was guaranteed to
earn $200,000 a year, or your money back.

We should all have smelled something strange when,
for a Wilmington, Delaware company, our payment had
to be transferred to an Israeli bank.

No income, no response to all my e-mails, no return of my
money…nothing at all.

It was not until that point that I decided to check the
company out on the Internet. That’s when I learned the lesson
I am about to teach you. Before you pay a single red cent
to take part in a business opportunity, check the
company out on the Internet. Complaints show up
on Google, Yahoo! and other major search engines.
They are also easy to find on any of the following websites:

www.billingtracker.com/
http://badbusinessbureau.com/
www.scam.com/
http://netscams.golden.net/

You can register your own complaints at any of these sites,
and you should. You can also register
a complaint at http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp with the
Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC). It is a partnership
between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center.

It’s been said often enough that if an idea looks too good to
be true, it probably is. And I have to admit that $44,900 for
a guaranteed $200,000 a year for 10 hours’ work a week is
too good to be true. But they were so convincing.

‘Maybe’ is no guarantee

Look carefully for phrases that say ‘you can earn…’ or
‘projected income is…’ Read them wrongly and they appear
to be sure-fire promises. They are professionally
written to give exactly this appearance to the unwary.
They mean absolutely nothing in a legal sense.

Check the Better Business Bureau, though it will only
tell you about ongoing disputes, not those that have
been settled. Check with the BBB in your locality and in the
community in which the company’s head office is located.

But perhaps the most reliable route is to ask trusted friends
who have been involved. After all, if they have made money
and received support, training, and complete answers to
questions, the chances are that the business is legitimate.

That does not mean to say that you will make money with it,
but the chances are far better than they are with a scam outfit.

Remember, if they want a serious amount of your money,
keep your guard up and get ready to run at the slightest sign
that something is fishy.
