If you are like me, you are probably planning to come by or give a Windows PC as a gift this holiday season. Most PC companies pre-load their PCs with a lot of applications – some of which are good but not all.
To get the best exercise out of your Windows PC, you will need to download and install additional applications or programs.
In this article, I list a few applications that I have been using for the past several years and which I assume are well-known.
I will also include some information about each of the program and where to get it.
There are several other ‘nice to have’ applications that I will cover in another article.
The best thing about this list? All the applications are freeware and won’t cost you a cent.
1. Firefox – a very considerable and capable alternative to Internet Explorer (IE) – the default web browser on Windows. Firefox is a great more secure browser than IE and is highly recommended as a replacement. There are hundreds of extensions for Firefox that add to its capabilities. Some extensions add features like ad blocking, RSS support and bookmark management while others improve upon the built-in functionality.

2. Zone Alarm/Kerio Personal Firewall – Software firewalls are applications that protect PCs from Internet threats. They inspect both incoming and outgoing connections ensuring that only legitimate traffic is allowed. Windows XP includes a firewall but these third-party products have more features.
Both Zone Alarm and Kerio Personal Firewall have received top reviews. You can’t use both of them at the same time but you can try both – one at a time – and choose to keep the one that is easier for you to use.
Net it the Kerio Personal Firewall at http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm and
Zone Alarm at http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp
3. SpyBotSD – Spybot SD (Search & Ruin) detects and removes spyware from your computer. In addition it also removes certain usage tracks such as lists of web sites visited.
Free support is offered at the Spybot SD web spot in the form of frequently asked questions (FAQ) documents, a searchable web site knowledge-base, and a free user succor forum.
The software is free for personal use but the author asks for donations if you win the software useful.
Get it at http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html
4. Ad-Aware – Ad-Aware is a good product that provides protection against many spyware programs. It can detect spyware programs running in memory, examine startup settings, block browser hijackings, remove tracking cookies, and fix registry changes made by intruding programs.
It is available in free (Personal) and commercial (Plus and Pro) versions. The personal version is full-featured enough for most home users. The company behind Ad-Aware, Lavasoft, provides regular free updates for the latest spyware definition files.
You may wonder for the need for this software along with SpybotSD mentioned above. The fact is both of these spyware-fighters have slightly different features. So having them both will give you more complete protection.
Unlike the firewalls mentioned above, you can use both of these at the same time.
Get it at http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
5. 7-zip – If you ever have to deal with zipped files of varions types, you need 7-zip. It is a compression/de-compression utility that lets you execute, update, extract archive files of four most approved formats on the Internet: zip, gzip, tar and bzip2. It also supports many other compression formats. Its simple interface can be accessed via the right-button menu right from Windows Explorer.
Get it at http://www.7-zip.com
The time taken to download and install these applications will replay itself once you start using them.
Happy computing!

Filed under Knowledge Base Software by on Feb 5th, 2012. Comment. 
I was once one of those people who thought that backing up the computer was unnecessary. After all, I had programs that protected against viruses and spyware so why worry. However, itsy-bitsy did I know I would loose everything, and that if I had backed up necessary files, then I would have been able to replace pictures and other data that was lost.
As I turned on the computer, Saturday evening, August 16, I had no knowledge as to what “hell” I would have to endure. When the desk top came up, I noticed a flashing red square, in the task bar indicating an update for the AVG virus program. One thing that I always kept in mind was that if updates are not installed, then the computer may not be fully protected against viruses, spyware or malware programs.
I started to download the updates, and then shortly received an error message. Apparently, the updates would not download because of a missing bin file. Shortly afterwards, another box appeared, I presumed from AVG, which contained the missing file. I was advised to download the missing bin file and then the updates; this downloading resulted in the loss of the AVG program. The next move was to delete and then reinstall AVG, I went to the add/remove section of the Control Panel and deleted the program. After deleting, I then tried to reinstall AVG but was unable to. An error message stated that AVG could not be installed because the AVG tool bar could not locate AVG. (very strange message) Next, I tried to delete the program again, resulting in a message stating that AVG could not be installed because of an error. For some reason I could not fully delete nor install AVG.
Within seconds, a red shield with a white x appeared in the task bar. This shield is exactly the same icon stale by Microsoft Security Center, when there is a problem with security. The shield warned that the computer was at risk, and that there was also a security problem. Next, a box appeared stating that the computer may be infected with viruses, and asked if I wanted the computer scanned. (Yes or No boxes) I checked no. Apparently, the checked no was ignored, Antispyware 2009 came up, and started to scan. To stop the scanning I had to quickly reboot the computer.
After rebooting, I went to the Security Center, located in the Control Panel, to check if the firewall was still up. I found that the firewall was up, but as far as an antivirus program, AVG was listed as outdated, although the version installed was 2008. I went to Microsoft live and went to help. I entered an online chat with Nesty, who advised me to fully run a scan on the computer; we shortly lost the internet connection thereafter. Since the scan would probably take at least 5 hours and the hour was late, I decided to start the scan and then go to bed.
I checked on the computer Sunday morning and found that the scan had produced 10 items and 10 problems and had removed all except three of them. I once more tried to install AVG, but it failed. I then tried to install other antivirus programs; however they would not download since I already had an antivirus program installed. So again I went to Microsoft for befriend. I spent at least 2 hours with the Microsoft agent and nothing seemed to befriend. The agent took my name and stated a technician would call me Monday morning.
On Monday, August 18, the technician called. She asked for permission to connect to the computer so that she could get an idea of what was happening, however the connection was barred by AVG. She asked me to try different scanning programs, such as Microsoft One Care, or Micro Trend House Call, to get rid of the bug. She would have another technician call me Tuesday, and that there was nothing more that she could do. Later that day, I noticed several more changes in the computer. First of all, the computer was very sluggish and took longer to function. Microsoft Word was also affected. I was allowed to type four to five letters and then the screen would freeze. In order to keep typing, I had to click on the Word shroud after every four or five letters. Another problem with Word was that some of the typed letters would disappear after being typed on the screen. I was unable to play games off-line; the games would either freeze, pause constantly or shutdown. Lastly, my home page kept changing from Yahoo to Goggle no matter what I did. If I went on-line to a secure site such as Microsoft.com, the box with the “Your computer may be at risk” kept popping up, insisting that I scan the computer for viruses.
Tuesday came and quiet no one could get the computer freed of this malware program that had fraudulently used AVG update, and copied the Microsoft shield. The technician asked first if I had a back up copy of my files, the answer was no. Then the technician had me try to restore the computer by going assist to August 13, however that action was also blocked. Again, the technician did all that he could do, and decided that the final step would be to have a more advanced technician call me Wednesday. I was told that “at this time, my only alternative would be to reformat the hard drive” unless the technician that I talked to, had more knowledge of this type of problem.
The very first thing that the technician tried to do on Wednesday morning was to take control of my computer, but he to was blocked. Secondly, he then had me try to restore the computer, but this action was also blocked. The next step was to enter the registry to check on what programs were there. After opening the registry, I found several files that belonged to AVG. I was then told to take no action but to terminate the registry and to open my documents, where I found other AVG files. These files were what kept me from downloading any other antivirus software, by indicating that I had an antivirus program. Secondly, these files were misplaced, and not removed when I deleted the AVG antivirus program. I was then told that the last alternative was to reformat the hard drive, and to understand since there wasn’t a abet up copy, I would loose everything
.As we talked on the phone, a different box popped up stating that the computer could be scanned free by Antispyware 2009 and that they were partners with Microsoft and also recommended by Microsoft. I then reported this to the technician, who then warned me not to let the malware scan the computer. Even though, I did not choose yes or no, the program began to scan on its own, and again I had to reboot the computer. The technician stated that he would talk me through the reformatting because of the malware problems.
While reformatting, I asked several questions about the Antispyware 2009 malware program and found that the program was a few years old. It first started out with pop ups that enticed the user to download a free scanning program. Later, the malware program began to imitate updates for other antivirus programs and sought new ways of gaining access to computers.
The purpose of the Antispyware program is to gain access to computers and take control. This program will make changes to your computer indicating that there are Trojans, viruses and antispyware present. Next, the malware will offer free scanning of the computer, and often will fraudulently set that they are partners with Microsoft, and also recommended by Microsoft. If the scanning is allowed, then the scanner will find quite a few viruses and spyware programs. Next, the user of the computer will be told that the only way to remove these programs is to purchase the Antispyware or Antivirus 2009 program, which cost approximately $50-$80. These programs only removed what the malware installed on the computer and are then completely useless.
After getting control of the computer, and getting benefit online, my first action was to download all recent updates to Windows XP. Secondly, I downloaded the free 90 day trial of Microsoft OneCare, and then updated to Explorer 7.
I decided to explore and looked for information concerning the Antispyware 2009. The first site of interest that I found was from Metacafe which displays a video that explains how some of the malware programs take over computers. I found the information quite tantalizing and beneficial. Next I went to the Wikipedia site. This site gave more detail about the rogue software, better known as malware or malicious software. This software forces users to pay for the removal of the nonexistent spyware so that they can gain control of their computer. The malware is a Trojan that infests the computer. At times, if the Ok button is clicked on the box, the user is taken to a pornographic site, and if the x in the upper right corner is clicked, the malware is downloaded and activated. Wikipedia also explained that this malware does not actually remove spyware, but can add more if purchased. Wikipedia goes even further and provides a partial list of various malware programs to avoid. Another site worth interest is Sunbelt Malware Research Labs. Malware Labs points out that these malware programs can collect private information located on the computer, plus make the computer very unstable for use. The last site that I visited was Antispyware 101. This site warns that a malware program is using e-mails to gain access to computers. They sent out e-mails entitled CNN.Daily Top Ten stories. Many of the users who received the e-mails conception that the e-mail was from CNN news listing the top ten stories of the day, so they opened it. Instead of getting informative news, they received malware instead. This malware used the Trojan Downloader. Agent. El. This Trojan will fake spyware programs, increase pop ups, give fake warnings, modifies Windows Registry, take over the desk top, crash the operating system and bringing up the blue screen of death. The site goes further and explains how to protect your computer, what a Trojan is, and what can be done if you have the problem.
One thing that I did learn from all of this is that making backup copies of your computer system is very vital and can abet to support needed information and files, especially if you have to reformat your drive. Once reformatted, use your backup copy to bring the computer up to date. Don’t catch the chance thinking that the antivirus programs will protect your computer. They just may not.

FREE Lecture – Thursday April 23rd from 7:00 to 9:00 PM:
The Power Of Your Subconscious – Because the “Future is nothing else than the reincarnation of the thought” there is absolutely nothing you cannot manifest. Dr. Turi will give ample information on how the subconscious can be carved with distinct suggestions and reverse years of trauma, pain and suffering into healthy habits bringing back body mind and spirit health and harmony. There is so much more behind the movie “The Secret” and in his upcoming workshop “Beyond The Secret” Dr. Turi will recount you how to use the creative forces of the Superconscious in time and space so emotional, financial and spiritual stability will be yours. The method is simple, respectable and allows the power to flow freely through the body, mind and soul.
While a soft soothing melody glides over in the background of the room, using hypnotherapy procedures Dr. Turi will put the audience in a light trance to open the door to the subconscious’ creative forces. The dynamic suggestions used will work positive miracles and unquestionably bring about your most cherished wishes for wealth, love even health. This highly spiritual healing session while totally sound keeps the audience semi conscious and offers a fresh feeling of all-encompassing relaxation. There is no deep hypnotic trance induced thus no risks of insurance liability and the assembly is totally safe and sound. Dr. Turi’s hypnotherapy expertise enlightens, unify, comfort and purify the Astral body, mind and soul. An experience none of your patrons will ever forgets and enjoy to the fullest.
Workshop – Saturday April 25th from 1:00 To 5:00 PM: “Beyond The Secret”: This workshop will teach the attendance how to heal using hands and feet to activate pressure points to improve the immune system and bring relief to rigidity, chronic headaches, relieve problems, even vision can be altered and ultimately restored to health. Dr. Turi will also teach you how to use the subconscious for psychic purposes and read the future. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn all about omens, psychic work, natural food, dieting while enjoying deep spiritual and physical cleansing. Bring a large towel or a blanket at the event for the foot healing session.
Important: All attendees must go through a physical/spiritual cleansing before entering the lecture room. Two mammoth crystal balls (black and white) will be placed on a small table by the door between a huge crystal pyramid on a silver tray while incense and one white candle will be burning. You must touch the black ball first with both hands for about 10 seconds then repeat the process on the white crystal ball. The black crystal ball acts as a “black Hole” vacuum that store and sucks away negative thoughts. The white crystal ball spend days in the full hot sun of Arizona and act as a “super charger” and insert life force into your body mind and soul This simple technique will not only balance your chakras but will also cleanse your spirit before the session.
“Knowledge is power; there is no room for ignorance in your life. Power means your option to establish emotional, financial and spiritual stability!”

Dear VIP Readers:
Here is a section of my new book “Beyond The Secret” explaining more about the creative forces of your subconscious. Take the time to read this long section as to understand what the TRUE Secret is all about an d finally be able to use your own subconscious creative forces at your advantage.
Important Facts About “The Secret”
Back in 2006, a new sensational movie entitled “The Secret” came out and the production was quite phenomenal, but also significantly incomplete. The movie was also endorsed by Oprah Winfrey and broadcasted on her television program. In the overpowering optimistic script, nothing pertaining to the negative manifesto of this Universal Law was exposed or explained in the Oprah show. Realize also, that I do support, understand and even promote not only the “Secret”, but also all other Universal laws that make the human experience possible.
However, the question remains after watching this well-produced movie, what will you be able to do or accomplish with it? ‘The Secret” is an overwhelmingly inspired production, skillfully shaped by wise and talented souls. However, like anything left unfinished, it can cause more detriment than improvement in the long run. Another important law well demonstrated in the movie is that we tend to attract what we fear the most. I do acknowledge the true value and purpose of the show and all the well-spoken wise participants, but there is remarkable more about the Universal Laws and their interaction with a multitude of unforgiving celestial rules. This book is designed to point out the facts, entertain, and educate the reader at the same time. Many people are in total denial and expect riches and fast results with minimum efforts, but common sense dictates otherwise. I think it’s only fair to teach both sides of the law that draws miracles and to create people aware of the cosmic regulations that interact with the subconscious creative forces. It took me many years///////////////////////////////////////////////

“There are other universes of multiple dimensions unidentified to our earthly senses, but affluent with superior forces. Behind the cosmic curtain God hides all the answers of all pre-existing things.”

Dear Dr. Turi;
Although I have never heard of you, my mom is an avid listener of George Noory. Tonight she told me about your show last night.06 APR 09. Being a sheriff’s deputy with the Cook County Sheriff’s dept (Chicago),Il I am very concerned about the universal windows, especially for myself personally. I was born on /////. Please inform me on my personal dragon windows dates. I work in the warrant unit for the dept., and our job is very critical at times, not to mention Chicago leads the planet in murders. Please advise, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
S///
DT – Well S, Your Mother, like mine, is very concerned with all their children safety and welfare and I am jubilant you listened to her accurate intuition…While investigating your UCI *Unique Celestial Identity would require some time I will only point out the major aspects of your Divinity. Your Sun sign in Libra (Justice) becomes your soul’s purpose for you to enforce both the laws of men and those of God. Your perceptive, highly critical, perfectionist mental aptitude will always work for you, as any type of investigation becomes your spiritual regeneration principle. Your highly advanced UCI is set by birth to learn and teach all about the Cosmic Code too. You are indeed a very valuable element to further the Police Academy’s puny curriculum by thoughtfully investigating your own personal Plutonic window dates. FYI my top students were all born in September! Thank you for working hard bringing security to all of us.

You are fair. Thank you; what a simple thing, I hope the narrow minded, short tempered including the ‘classic trained’ in human psychology can get past this hick-up of your work, the “Dragon” head and tail terminology.
DT – Ticket the simple term “Dragon” Head and Tail is outmoded to represent the North or South Node of the Moon represent a piece of the dynamics titillating the complexity of Astropsychology methodology.

Hello Dr. Turi;
I recently heard you describing the dragon dates on coast to coast. I was alarmed because one of the dates falls factual before my wedding on the 26th of April. I am traveling down to new Orleans from unusual York on that Thursday. I have been aware of the importance of the waxing and waning moon cycles and chose that date because it was right after the new moon. I just ordered the personal dragon dates calendar from you. my question is, how detrimental is it to have a ceremony on the 26th? thank you for your help. I look forward to learning more and getting more in tune with the universal cycles.
Brooke
Dosha Dr. Turi and Terania,
C2C was great but I wish you had been on longer!!!! Richard and I are really looking forward to your visit here! Even our furry little children (4 cats) most likely will like YOUR attention!! The previous email I sent had the information about the 7/21 date. For anyone coming the motel information and the 701-627-5100 # can be given out if anyone needs further contact or info. I forgot too there is camping available by the Lake (contact 4 bears casino/lodge) Richard and I would be happy for you to end with us as we have a most beautiful understanding of the lake which is 350ft below us.
Also, here is an endorsement for the PD.
Many blessings to you Louis! You have millions of people who do CARE about you!!
Sue
ATTN: Chief of Police; Lieutenants, Detectives, Sergeants:
Due to the massive amounts of officers killed in the line of duty lately, it is imperative that methods even unusual as they may seem be employed to protect officers. Wait On in 1992 I worked as a victim advocate for a large city police department and was married to a K9 officer. Around 1998-99 I worked at a radio area co hosting a program which the guest was Dr. Louis Turi. Being rather ignorant of astrology, I was startled and panicked at what the good doctor had seen in my astrology chart. Amazed by this information, I began to look into it a bit more only to acquire out that Dr. Turi’s map was far more accurate than the mainstream create. I wouldn’t say he ‘predicts’ rather, I eye it as his ability to read a ‘map’ (so to speak) and thus he is able to see the ‘bridge is out’ sign and helping others detour from a deadly situation rather than ignore the sign and end up in the river. I would highly recommend him to lecture, deny and with his grief for helping others, to be a light in a dark world that is so tubby of ignorance. His talent to foresee ’something coming’ is uncanny and very accurate! If those of you in Law Enforcement took time to examine Dr. Turi’s knowledge, many families of officers may not be shedding tears for their loved ones. Personally, I have found him to be informative and intelligent thus, I do believe those who need ‘proof’ much like myself, would be impressed by how Astropsychology works!

A Vision For the Future Police
Hey DT,
I just had a though as I really hope your work is finally being heard by Law Enforcement. Just imagine this fictional memoir some day in the future; A police car with two officers gets dispatched to a domestic dispute between a husband and wife. The persons alive to in the domestic birth dates are entered into the police computer at the space. While the officers are en-route, an Astropsychology computer analysis is done and recommendations are made to the desk sergeant. Given the fact that the current date falls in a deadly Plutonic window and a waning full moon and the two persons involved are at a deadly intersection in their UCI’s, all officers responding to the call are required to wear heavy body armor bullet proof vests no matter how minor the argument seems.
Tag that in this future tale, all police officers UCI’s are stored in the Police database and the computer recommends that one of the officers in the patrol car is in a very bad personal window and ordered to stay in the car. A back-up car is sent and an officer with a great better UCI for today is assigned to go up to the door with the first officer. They ring the bell, the door opens, one officer takes a swear shot to the chest, but luckily his body armor saves him and they both retreat. A SWAT team is called in to subdue the man as SWAT is prepared to handle such situations and no-one dies as a roar result of an Astro-analysis computer at the place. End of Anecdote….. Some day DT…..Some day….!!!!!
I would love to see a movie based on this scenario.
Do well on C2C my friend.
Talk soon,
V

AS OF TODAY ANYONE AND EVERYONE CAN BECOME A VIP, Objective MAKE A DECENT DONATION YOU CAN AFFORD SO I CAN STILL PROVIDE YOU WITH MY VIP COSMIC CODE NEWSLETTER.
However please withhold in consideration that many people have paid the paunchy label of $100 then $75 and now BECAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE ECONOMY plaguing the US, I brought the ticket from $100, to $75 and now down to only $35. Realize it is NOT glorious to them and I feel cornered between pleasing you and upsetting them. While many of you are legit and feel the pain, many “monkeys” out there will try to get my life saving, priceless knowledge for a few bucks only. To those I say, “Be aware, KARMA is very real and in time will bite your butt”.
Incidentally I am a bit surprised and indeed very pleased that my Acquire trusting, smart VIP’s did not harass me for offering so grand for so long for FREE! I guess they do understand your situation and feel your pain too…
Thus I came up with this idea, mail me your donation and Mike will enter your name and email you the password but Mike is NOT me, he is very protective of myself, Terania and also my intellectual property and he is the one in charge of accepting or rejecting your donation.

- Drupal Overview
- Wordpress Overview
- Joomula! Overview
Web Easy Media is a Drupal shop, plain and simple. We create customized websites using Drupal as our Content Management System (CMS). When searching for a company to create your website, there are a lot of options out there.
In the highly competitive market place for website development, it’s important to stand out. The CMS a website company uses will have a large impact on the quality of the websites they build, how quickly they can fabricate them and the overall costs of each one.
A CMS supports the creation, management, syndication, publishing and alteration of all of the information on a website. A web development company creating the interactive websites used today utilize a CMS to create a website with the end user in mind. The quality of the CMS and the developer’s knowledge of it will have a large impact on the overall functionality and look of the website itself and the ultimate usability for the end customer.
There are three main Content Management Systems being conventional by web developers across the globe: Wordpress, Joomla!, and Drupal. Each one has its highlights and limitations and none of them work for everyone. The experience and skill level of a developer or designer warrants which CMS will be most useful for his or her needs.
Wordpress
Wordpress is an easy to exercise CMS that allows for single or multiple user websites with superior blogging capabilities to be created and managed with ease. Almost anyone can exhaust it. Whereas it excels at ease of expend, though, it lacks in flexibility.
Wordpress was designed to be a blogging platform and adding modifications to make it more dynamic is often difficult and time consuming. According to Good Web Practices, “The very reason that Wordpress was created was to keep people from wanting to customize it to do things that are much more advanced…any modification that you give to it may very well cause it to rupture”.
Joomla!
Joomla! is a step above Wordpress, having vast resources for developers and designers alike to use to create visually dynamic websites. Joomla! has a large community of users, offering technical support to both developers and designers with issues, along with the end users of the websites.
Though Joomla! is a ample CMS for starting developers and designers, it lacks the strength to create flexible websites with the ideal “end user” usability. Businesses want sites that can both effectively grow with the needs of the business and be managed by non-technical personnel.
In a recent report conducted by Idealware, which evaluated the most popular Content Management Systems being used today, it found that Joomla! “doesn’t offer an easy way to create a workflow based on section or type of bellow”. In other words, end users have more trouble updating and making additions to their websites than users of the other leading content management systems.
Drupal
Drupal and Joomla! are often compared to each other and for good reason. Both offer developers and designers great tools for creating the dynamic websites businesses need to be competitive. What makes Drupal stand out is its ability to take the next step and offer long term, cost effective website solutions with its flexibility and powerful tools.
The learning curve is harder using Drupal, but once a developer or designer takes the time to learn how to proper utilize the features and community of this CMS, the ruin results are worth the effort. Those creating the websites can make great websites faster and cheaper and end users have unmatched functionality in managing their own websites.
Understanding the strengths and limitations of a particular CMS should be a top criterion when choosing a company to construct your website. The functionality and usability of a website is directly linked to the CMS and as your company grows, you need one that fuels your expansion without the need of expensive retooling.

We’ve all experienced it at one time or another. Your modern high-speed computer begins to tiresome down, hesitate, freeze, or any number of other annoyances, and you’re not sure why. Your first instinct is to call a service technician, but before you dial, you might want to take a look at the computer yourself. A lot of the time, it’s something simple. A backlog of cookies, a browser history that reads like a novel, too many desktop icons, or fragmented files on your hard drive can cause slow response times from your computer. If you’re like my friend in California and aren’t too computer savvy, you might call a service technician only to be talked into extra RAM that you don’t really need. There is a simple, inexpensive solution to this headache, and it comes installed on your computer’s hard drive.
Using The Control Panel
Click on the start button of your task bar and you may explore an icon labeled “Control Panel”. If you’re using the classic windows menu, the icon will be labeled “Settings” with a subheading labeled “Control Panel”. Choose the “Control Panel” icon and the computer will capture you to the Control Panel interface. Here you will find a number of options that will relieve you improve the performance and reliability of your computer. Choose the option called “Performance and Maintenance”. The next thing you will gaze is a list of tasks.
Task 1: See Basic Information About Your Computer
Choosing this option will bring up a separate menu that will allow you to view basic information about your computer. Here you can peek what kind of processor you’re using, whether or not you have a printer, fax, or scanner plugged in, and whether or not these devices are working properly. It will also show you the operating system that you’re using and whether or not you have any service packs or updates installed. You can access the system restore options from here, but I wouldn’t advise that you change anything. Knowing this information is vital if you ever need to tell someone what kind of graphics card you have or whether or not you’re running Windows XP with SP2. Not all programs and devices are compatible, so it helps to know what you’re working with before you install anything new.
Task 2: Adjust Visual Effects
Here, you can decide how Windows displays its, uh, windows. It’s usually a pleasurable idea to allow Windows to settle what’s best for your computer, or you may end up with graphics overload, that aggravating state of immovable pop-ups that sometimes requires manual intervention via Control+Alt+Delete. Of course, forcing your computer to shut down this way isn’t really a good plan, so it’s best to avoid doing this if you can. Under the “Advanced” tab, you can choose whether or not you want your computer to devote more effort to running programs or your background services, like screen savers. Below this choice is a similar box for memory usage. I keep both of mine set on “Programs”. That means that my computer devotes the largest amount of its effort toward running the programs that are open on the desktop instead of the programs shown in the system tray. The final choice under this tab is “Virtual Memory”, and unless you know what you’re doing, leave this alone. Absorb it or not, your computer can resolve for itself if this value needs to be changed based on the size and type of program you happen to be using. The last tab is labeled “Data Execution Prevention”. Here you can choose how your computer protects itself from on-line viruses. If you have a separate firewall and virus program, don’t bother with this option. The default value will do fine.
Task 3: Free up Space on Your Hard Disk
Here you will find the option that will allow you to cure some of those stalls and stutters that your computer might be experiencing. When you click on this task, a pop-up window will ask you which drive you would like to clean up. Normally, “C” is the correct choice, but if you have other drives like I do, it will work for them as well. Choose the drive letter you want from the pull-down menu and click on the “OK” button. You will see another small window that will tell you to wait while the computer calculates how much space can be freed. When it’s done, you’ll see a menu showing a lot of options with check boxes beside them and the sizes of any files that can be removed. Under “Disk Cleanup”, check all of the boxes except the last one and click on “OK”. The window also has a tab labeled “More Options”, but we’ll cover that later.
Task 4: Rearrange Items on Your Hard Disk to Make Programs Run Faster
Clicking on this task takes you to the Disk Defragmentor interface. De-fragmenting your disk is important, because it takes all of the disorganized files on the drive and stacks them stop together without any empty spaces. Click on the “Analyze” button to see a visual picture of how files and programs are stored on your hard drive. You will probably see a lot of blue lines, some red lines, and maybe some white spaces. The blue lines are good files that run end to end on the hard drive. Files than run consecutively in this manner are called “contiguous files”, and it’s what your computer prefers. The red lines are “fragmented files”, or pieces of files left over from when something was deleted or uninstalled. In short, they’re trash that’s taking up space. The white areas are free space, or empty spots on the drive. You may also seek some green lines. These designate the core files of your computer, which never move. De-fragmenting removes the fragmented files and makes all other files contiguous. Basically, the system takes all of the information scattered around your computer and places it where it can be easily found, kind of like a secretary filing documents. Once you’ve clicked on “Analyze”, the computer will tell you whether or not this drive needs de-fragmenting. If it does, click on the “Defragment” button. The process could capture anywhere from a few moments to a few hours, depending on how badly the drive is fragmented. When the defragmentation is complete, the computer will display a report of any actions that were taken. The end results are programs that inaugurate faster and screens that load quicker, and less time looking at Windows’ searching flashlight as it scans the hard drive for whatever you wanted.
The Start Menu
Return to the main menu of the Control Panel and you will see an icon labeled “Appearance and Themes”. Under this heading you can change your desktop theme, adjust your cover saver, or change your start menu. Click on “Appearance and Themes” to see a list of tasks. At the bottom of the window you will see a number of Control Panel icons. Choose the one labeled “Taskbar and Start Menu”. A recent window will appear with two tabs, one called “Taskbar” and one called “Start Menu”. Choose the one labeled “Start Menu”.
The next thing you will see is a window depicting you current Start Menu configuration. Beside the highlighted choice, you will see a button that says “Customize”. Click on it and another window will appear. Click on the “Advanced” tab and look down at the bottom of the window. You will see a heading entitled “Recent Documents”. This is the list of recent documents that appears when you pause over the “Recent Documents” icon in the Start Menu. Click the button that says “Distinct List”. Clearing this list of shortcuts will also help improve your computer’s performance, and it does not delete the original items.
Internet Controls
Return to the main menu of the Control Panel, and this time, resolve the icon labeled “Network and Internet Connections”. Once again, you will see a list of tasks and a situation of Control Panel icons. Choose the icon called “Internet Options”. You will see a smaller window labeled “Internet Properties”. Look for the heading “Browsing History”. Here is where you can delete stored cookies, cached web pages, and stored password information. Click on the button that says “Delete”. The next window you see is labeled “Delete Browsing History”. At the very bottom, click on the button that says “Delete All”. If you’ve never done this, the process could take a few minutes as the system removes unnecessary information stored on your computer.
Specialized Programs
If you’re still having problems, then it may be time to use a more specialized troubleshooting software. Two good quality, inexpensive programs are Registry Mechanic and RegCure, both of which perform scans on your system to locate dreadful shortcut links, missing files, unwanted ActiveX tools, empty registry keys, and so on. These things, when allowed to accumulate, can result in abominable or quirky performance, program crashes, and shortcuts that don’t work. A few security services like Norton and McAfee have their own version of this registry cleaner that can be accessed from their own individual menus. These programs are noble of accessing parts of your system that the System Tools can’t, providing an added measure of assurance that your computer is performing well. These programs can also be scheduled to run on their own at times when the computer is not normally in use. You just have to remember to leave your computer on.
Using the Internet as a Tool for Maintaining Your Computer
Probably one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer is to keep your firewall and anti-virus programs up-to-date. If you have a dial-up internet connection, this can be time consuming, but a dinky boredom now is distinguished better than a monstrous pickle later. If you have a cable or DSL connection, updates for most programs will download and install automatically. I use McAfee myself, which downloads needed updates as soon as they are available and installs them on its own. Other programs to keep updated are your operating system, or Windows for most PC users, and your internet browser. I like Internet Explorer, whose web site can narrate you whether or not your browser is up to date and what you need to install. If you use Adobe products like Shockwave, Flash Player, or Acrobat, you can find all of the available updates at the Adobe web region. These programs handle animated pop-ups, movie clips, and some ads through your browser, as well as opening some web pages or saving them as favorites. A failure of one of these programs can cause empty pages in your browser, blank banner ads, and can lead to trouble when viewing on-line video content such as the kind found on You Tube.
Remember, maintaining the health of your PC can go a long way toward preventing major breakdowns in the future. Make sure you use your firewall, run regular virus scans, and keep your hard drive clean and defragmented. Avoid downloading things from untrusted web sites, especially if you’re using a P2P network like Limewire or Bearshare. Individual files are harder to track and can easily slip in a virus when you’re not looking. Take the time to learn how your computer works and practice using its built-in diagnostic features. If you’re installing something new, be certain that it’s compatible with the system you already have. A little prevention in the present can mean money saved on repairs farther down the internet highway.
