- Strange as it may sound, the computer virus is something of an Information Age marvel. On one hand, viruses show us how vulnerable we are -- a properly engineered virus can have a devastating effect, disrupting productivity and doing billions of dollars in damages. On the other hand, they show us how sophisticated and interconnected human beings have become.
For example, experts estimate that the Mydoom worm infected approximately a quarter-million computers in a single day in January 2004. Back in March 1999, the Melissa virus was so powerful that it forced Microsoft and a number of other very large companies to completely turn off their e-mail systems until the virus could be contained. The ILOVEYOU virus in 2000 had a similarly devastating effect. In January 2007, a worm called Storm appeared -- by October, experts believed up to 50 million computers were infected. That's pretty impressive when you consider that many viruses are incredibly simple.
When you listen to the news, you hear about many different forms of electronic infection. The most common are:
Viruses - A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs. For example, a virus might attach itself to a program such as a spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or wreak havoc.
E-mail viruses - An e-mail virus travels as an attachment to e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim's e-mail address book. Some e-mail viruses don't even require a double-click -- they launch when you view the infected message in the preview pane of your e-mail software [source: Johnson].
Trojanhorses - A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically.
Worms - A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from there, as well.
In this article, we will discuss viruses -- both "traditional" viruses and e-mail viruses -- so that you can learn how they work and understand how to protect yourself.

Check Your Computer Frequently
If your PC’s not powering up, don’t immediately panic and run around the room while you’re shouting and tearing your hair out (obviously I’ve done this before). Here are some basic tips on how to seal with this problem before you call your local (and expensive) PC repair man.Check if your PC’s plugged in. Yes, boys and girls, there’s been a lot of situation where the the computer gets unplugged when your electric-bill-crazy-mom would pull it out while you’re away from keyboard to save on the utility charges. Or you forgot that you pulled it out last night.Have this ever happened to you? You go to the office on a Saturday morning to email a document to your boss (who just absolutely need to have it that same morning: on a SATURDAY) and you power on your computer. It goes through the same routine and then you wait….and wait…and wait until all the Windows program end loading. By the time it stops loading the morning is over and your boss is pissed. If this never happened to you, you’re lucky—it happened to me. Anyway, enough about me, let’s see what we can do for you.
It’s not only start-up that you’d like to speed up; you can also make sure that your system shuts down faster. If shutting down XP takes what seems to be an inordinate amount of time, here are a couple of steps you can take to speed up the shutdown process:Don’t have XP clear your paging file at shutdown. For security reasons, you can have XP clear your paging file (pagefile.sys) of its contents whenever you shut down. Your paging file is used to store temporary files and data, but when your system shuts down, information stays in the file. Some people prefer to have the paging file cleared at shutdown because sensitive information such as unencrypted passwords sometimes ends up in the file. However, clearing the paging file can slow shutdown times significantly, so if extreme security isn’t a high priority, you might not want to clear it.

A-Data DDR3-1600X
A-Data has entered the high-end DDR3 memory fray with a new line of memory kits that fall under its X Series brand, which is targeted at overclockers. The A-Data DDR3-1600X memory kit is one of many available based on Micron’s popular chips. It comprises a pair of 1GB sticks (2GB total) rated for operation at a speedy 1,600MHz with CAS latencies of 7-7-7-20. At that speed, the kit requires a relatively low 1.75 to 1.85 volts.
Although 1,600MHz system memory is nothing to sneeze at, we still spent some time overclocking this kit and found it to be a pretty good overclocker. With a bump in voltage to 2V, the DDR3-1600X kit had no trouble running at 1,804MHz at stock timing, and we suspect that it could have gone higher if we had relaxed the timings a bit. On a related note, the modules are outfitted with basic, flat heat spreaders that remained fairly cool to the touch, even while overclocking. Also note, this kit does not support EPP 2.0 or XMP, so you’ll have to do all of the overclocking the old-fashioned way.
When running at its rated frequency of 1,600MHz on an Asus X48-based motherboard, the DDR3-1600X kit put up a respectable 7.8GBps of memory bandwidth in SiSoft Sandra XII SP1’s bandwidth benchmark. And when we pushed the kit to 1.8GHz while overclocking, that number jumped up to 8.5GBps. Those aren’t the best numbers we’ve seen from a DDR3 memory kit, but they were good nonetheless.
At this point, DDR3 memory is still much more expensive than DDR2. But with an expected street price of about $250, A-Data’s DDR3-1600X kit will debut at a price roughly half of what competing DDR3-1600 kits commanded upon their initial release. Although still pricey in comparison to DDR2, the DDR3-1600X kit is relatively good value in the DDR3 space.

AMD Phenom X3 8750
Test system specs: Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6; 2GB Super Talent DDR2 (dual-channel); Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT, 80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7
Specs: Socket AM2+; Clock speed: 2.4GHz; HyperTransport Link: 3.6GHz (full duplex); 65nm process; 95W max TDP
Although PC enthusiasts generally clamor for the fastest, most powerful processor, AMD is attempting to satisfy a different group of computer users with the Phenom X3 8750 triple core processor. The 8750 (and its 8650 and 8450 brethren) are designed to be the basis for multicore systems that can be built for under $500.
You can do the math: a multicore 8750 for $195, an AMD 780G-series motherboard for about $100, and plenty of scratch left over for a decent graphics card (or two?) and a handful of other upgrades.
A sub-$500 system is an interesting idea, but can such a budget-friendly processor pull its weight? The short answer is yes. Although the 8750 didn’t blow anybody’s socks off in benchmark testing, its scores are certainly nothing to sneeze at. And when you consider the price-for-performance you get from this processor, it starts looking like an awfully good deal.
If you’re looking for the Next Big Thing in performance, the X3 8750 is not for you. If, however, you’re one of the millions of computer users who want a machine that is fast and powerful enough to knock out virtually any normal computing task at a rock-bottom price, this triple-core thing is probably right up your alley.

What is RAM
RAM operates much like a human being's short-term memory. Much like the human brain RAM is able to draw upon the computer's long term memory for information. This is often necessary when short term memory becomes full. Most computers come equipped with at least 256 million RAM bytes plus the hard disk which has the capability of holding 40 billion bytes.
Anyone who works as their own tech geek on their computer system may be highly concerned about what is ram? It is a very important piece of a computer system. It is Random Access Memory which is the location where the application programs, the operating system, and data presently in use are stored. This way the computer's processor has the ability to reach them momentarily when needed. RAM is head and shoulders above the other various types of storage inside a computer system. It's even faster than floppy disk, hard disk, or CD-ROM. The information stored in RAM is only accessible for the length of time that a computer is begin run. Information previously stored in RAM disappears when a computer is shut down. When the computer is turned back on, information from hard disk is retrieved to bring RAM back to the forefront again. RAM is much like main memory that is accessible by programs.

This is often necessary when short term memory becomes full. Most computers come equipped with at least 256 million RAM bytes plus the hard disk which has the capability of holding 40 billion bytes. Data is placed on a magnetized area that resembles a record. Computer printers also hold bytes of RAM as well. Each byte of RAM has the ability to be ascertained separately without the other bytes being accessed.
Types of RAM
RAM comes in dual forms. DRAM which is Dynamic Random Access Memory and SRAM which is Static Random Access Memory. DRAM is the most typical of the two types. DRAM requires refreshing at a rate reaching in the thousands each second. DRAM's times for accessing information are 60 nanoseconds. SRAM is more costly, but does operate at a much quicker pace than DRAM. The interlocking of a capacitor and a transistor produces a memory cell. This is one bit of data. Also, SRAM allows access at times as quick as 10 nanoseconds.

Cheap Flash Drive Options in the Market
Flash drives have become essential gadgets because of the comforts they offer for storage of files and their mobility. Read on to find the cheap flash drive products that are currently available in the market.
Flash drives are used to carry applications that run on the host computer without requiring installation.Cheap flash drives are particularly popular among system and network administrators who load them with configuration information and software used for system maintenance, troubleshooting and recovery.Small PC flash drives that can hold so much material that they are referred to as “digital backups”. The key chain size devices can hold textbook, novel and plays, study aids dictionary-almost anything. The flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board typically in a plastic or metal casing which makes the drive sturdy enough to be carried in a pocket or as a key chain.Flash drives of 64 GB capacity cost around 1000 pounds. But 16 GB version is a cheap flash drive. Around 3 DVDs, 16 div films or 4000 MP3 s can be stored which costs only about 330 pounds.There is a breakthrough in NAND technology that will slash the price of solid-state flash drives down to just $2/GB within 2 years. Specifically, the NAND technology has been leveraged into SSDs to reduce the price of the flash drive to half.The flash drive max is set in rugged aluminum housing, can hold huge amounts of data and is durable. It is slightly larger than a stick of chewing gum. These cheap flash drives are complete with carry – it easy software and stores up to 16 GB.Flash drives which are sleek and capless and can hold all the documents in an affordable, cheap price are also available and are a convenient device, not bigger than a pocket knife. It costs just $19.95.Cheap flash drive is simple and the USB connector is safely housed inside the sleek case, so that there is no need to worry about losing the cap. This cheap flash drive holds documents, digital images and spreadsheets and offers a five –year warranty. A cheap flash drive called data traveler 100 is a reliable, inexpensive solution to carry digital files.Cheap flash drives are used to carry applications that run on the host computer without requiring installation.Another product flash drive mini of 1 GB capacity keeps track of available capacity and tells how much space is needed for selected files and settings. The most common use of cheap flash drive is to transport and use personal files such as documents, pictures and video. Even the cheapest of flash drives will store dozens of floppy disks worth of data. A drawback of the cheap flash drive is, owing to their small size, they can be easily misplaced, left behind or lost.Cheap flash drives are tiny, light, thin, waterproof and yet very powerful. It also comes preloaded with two puzzle games and no drivers are needed. Many of the cheap flash drives support finger print encryption, outlook synchronization, back up and much more.Sooner or later flash drives will replace hard disk drives and hard disk may become obsolete.

Computer printer evolution
Computer printers have helped evolve and develop the printing market to its known rank. We can today do so many things like CD printing and DVD printing thanks to the available technology.
Even computer printers have evolved a lot since they were first brought to the market in the eighties even though computer printer had been made for professional or governmental use for many years, with Remington-Rand for example developing one of the first high-speed printers in the fifties to be used on the Univac computer also called the Universal Automatic Computer.Whereas the speed of the first computer printers was in reality calculated in units of characters printed per seconds, the speed of modern printers is now considered in pages printed per minute, which clearly makes a huge difference.You can now find various types of computer printers very easily in the market. You can get for example toner-based printers that in fact work by using the xerographic principle. The most commonly used kind of toner based printer being the laser printer.Another type of printer is the liquid inkjet printer that simply sprays very small and precise amount of ink onto the piece of paper or other. You can also get solid ink printers, dye sublimation printers or even inkless printers that use a specific paper containing colourless dye crystals.But with all this technology we tend to forget that the printing process goes back to hundred of years. Printing first came to Europe as a method for printing on textile in the fourteenth century, where it mainly had a religious use. A century later, what we call block printing was transferred from cloth to other materials and soon playing cards were quickly printed on paper. It is believed though that Mister Gutenberg developed European printing technology in the middle of the fifteenth century in 1439. The printing press invented by Gutenberg in Germany completely changed the production of books and greatly helped to the spread of knowledge throughout Europe and the all world. Books did not have to be hand copied one after the other any more; they could be printed as an alternative!Printing houses started to appear near the time of Gutenberg and were run by master printers. The most famous master printer being in fact Erasmus.As we can see, computer printers come from very far in history and keep evolving very quickly thanks to the technology used.

IP and Data Security
IP and Data Security - Companies considering outsourcing their software development need to know and protect themselves against the risks related to the Intellectual property violations as well as Data Security. In order to mitigate this risk, clients need to check with the vendors on steps that they will take to protect their IP and the sensitive data such as customer information, employee information, financial data and market research data. This should be done during the Vendor Selection process.Clients should ensure that selected vendor has the well documented Information Security Management (ISM) Policy. Vendors need to provide a dedicated project and data server to their clients with audit control access on all the servers. Client should check that the Vendors facility is secured with smart card control access and vendors development team members have signed the Confidentiality agreements. In addition, the development contract should include clauses for Non-compete, Non-disclosure and non-solicitation.sSoftware Development Companys

"Spyware" Watching You
-Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call from a sfriend who told me he'd been the victim of a "spyware" sattack that left him shaking at his loss of privacy. I listened to his horror story with a sympathetic ear, but sI felt secure since I carry anti-virus software and a sfirewall (both by Norton). At his suggestion - and to my surprise - I ran a program scalled "Spy Sweeper" and found a veritable minefield of sdangerous and harmful programs lurking on my computer. "Spyware" is software that gets onto your computer and sliterally "spies" on your activities. The spying can range from relatively harmless use of scookies tracking you across multiple websites... to sextremely dangerous "keystroke loggers" which record spasswords, credit cards, and other personal data. That data sthen gets relayed to the person who put the software on syour computer. Three primary types of spyware exist to complicate your sonline life, including: 1. "cookies" s2. "Adware" s3. Malicious programs like "keystroke loggers" Cookies represent mostly a danger of lost privacy. In theory, someone could use a "cookie" to track you across smultiple sites, combine that data with several databases, sand figure out a lot more information about you than would smake you comfortable. "Adware" tracks more than just your movement across sites, sit spies on your installed software and computer habits to sthen serve up advertising, modify websites before you see sthem, and generally do things without your knowledge with sthe intention of trying to get you to buy things. "Keystroke loggers" and other malicious programs exist for sone purpose: to cause personal mayhem and financial damage. Spyware gets on your computer in one of several different sways. First, it rides along with software you download from the s'Net and install on your system. Second, they come as email attachments (much like viruses) sand automatically install themselves on your computer when syou open the email message. Third, hackers find an open port on your computer and use sthe "back door" to install basically anything they want. And fourth, the more malicious types, like keystroke sloggers, can even get installed by someone with direct sphysical access to your computer such as an employer, ssuspicious spouse, business competitor, or someone who swants to know exactly what you're doing. Now, suppose you carry an up-to-date anti-virus program and sa firewall - shouldn't that represent potent protection? In a word: NO! I can personally attest that even the most up-to-date anti- svirus programs and firewalls will not (repeat, WILL NOT) scatch all the spyware that can infest your computer. You need a program that specifically scans your system for sthe tens-of-thousands of existing spyware programs along swith the new ones appearing daily. Check out "Spy Sweeper" from webroot.com - this is the sprogram I used to discover the spyware on my computer. One thing I noticed, however, is that this program is a smemory hog, so once I scanned, I turned it off and then suse it 2-3 times a week... not the best strategy, but sI want to give you the "whole" picture. I also got the following recommendations from numerous ssubscribers about 2 programs to specifically help identify sand remove spyware from your system (PC): 1. "Ad Aware" from lavasoft.de s2. "Spybot Search & Destroy" from safer-networking.org The overwhelmingly recommended firewall suggested by readers swas Zone Alarm Pro from Zone Labs s=>visit ebookfire website and click zonealarm which have HTML extensionThe bottom line seems pretty simple (but lengthy) if you swant to protect yourself against this growing threat. ~ Keep your anti-virus program current s~ Install a firewall s~ Carefully screen software before installing it s~ Scan for specifically for spyware weekly s~ Stay current on this growing threat.

.CN Is China's Domain
Have you ever heard of .CN? .CN is the domain name extension of China. It is China's country code top level domain (cctld) .CN at one point was a very restricted domain name extension. It was only allowed to be registered and used by Chinese businesses. China changed the rules in late 2002/early 2003 and now .cn is available to register by any business in the world. You can register .cn domains in the second or third level. This means you can register a .cn domain name in the form of "somename.cn" or "somename.com.cn". The Chinese registry, CNNIC, does require that .cn domain names not be used for sites that have adult or gambling related content. China's economy is growing very quickly. The amount of internet users in China is increasing by leaps and bounds. China is quickly becoming a major economic powerhouse. If you have a business that would like to reach this extremely huge and rapidly developing market, a .CN domain name for your website may be a very good way to do just that.

Best Spyware Removers
Finding the best spyware removers to detect and remove spyware and adware from your computer is much easier if you consider a few things before you make your purchase. Here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a spyware protection program.The best spyware removers should offer you complete protection against spyware, adware, keyloggers, Remote Access Trojans (RATs), and browser hijackers.

There are new spyware programs invented on a regular basis just like viruses and automatic updates cover you against the latest spyware threats. Another important consideration to look for should be technical support from the manufacturer. A spyware protection program doesn't do you any good if you have a technical issue that you can't solve.

You also may need someone to answer questions that come up.Customer service is another feature you may consider looking for. It shows the manufacturer is a trusted source who cares about their reputation and will probably be around awhile.Spyware is quickly becoming a major threat to Internet security. It is reported that 9 out of 10 computers are currently infected with spyware, adware or both. Most people don't even realize it's there because spyware and adware is programmed to run silently. Microsoft estimates that spyware is responsible for 50% of all PC crashes. If you don't remove spyware from your computer it will eventually not work at all or your computer files will become infected by spyware programs. Your personal information, passwords and credit card numbers could end up stolen from you without you even knowing it. Once you remove spyware and adware programs from your computer you'll find it will run faster and your personal information will be much safer. Your security and peace of mind is worth spending a little time to find the best spyware removers possible.Copyright © 2005 Spyware Information.com All Rights Reserved
