Life with a slow computer? You don't have to

Just about every home computer deals with the problem of a slow computer at some time or another.

You know how it goes... You tried checking an E-mail or a new website heard and you can not, because your computer has slow 10 20 programs running in the background you have no idea what you are or how you have installed on your computer.

Almost every computer has numerous programs and items in the background with ample processing power way, do you want to. This article be information about all the background processes that happen in your computer so that you understand exactly what factors contribute to a slow computer. We will discuss how to remove this unused programs and background processes and show you how to tweak various preferences, your slow computer machine quickly sleek revive that once was.

There are basically 3 major areas that are the cause of a slow computer. Each discussed briefly in subsequent articles, we get into the details about each of these areas to repair.

The 3 main areas, a slow computer be diagnosis in the root:

Resource hungry programs

Spyware, viruses and other malicious programs

Physical hardware limitations
Resource hungry programs

Many times the root of a slow computer can be found by looking which running on your computer. Many new computers are so-called trial ware programs. Programs that are installed on your computer from the factory are trial-ware. Many times these ready-made programs are useless, do nothing more than to hog most valuable resources on your computer. I have consumed up to 30% of the computer resources cases of clients where the trial product was preinstalled on computers! These computers were running slow from the factory, in such cases, where the computer is actually faster run as was recalled to the client to due to the fact that we used this free space so improves the overall performance of the computer!

The second largest resource hungry programs are virus scanner.

In today's world, you must have some kind of virus protection if you want on the Internet are protected. Unfortunately many of these virus programs create more headaches than viruses you are meant to protect us from.

Most virus scanners do more to create a slow computer as most other elements of the following factors.

Active scanning - antivirus scanning of all activities of the computer in the background (file access, email, Internet traffic, system services, etc etc)

All this scanning has the effect to create a slow computer.

Many virus programs are great programs to load into memory and could take advantage of valuable resources more efficiently using your computer.

We discuss in later articles search in select proper virus scanner and configuration without side effect of the food to all resources on the computer effectively.

The first step in the healing of a slow computer identify is what programs you use, and removing them from your home. You must also active virus scanners are what memory and you get so that to identify eating up all your resources.

Spyware, viruses and other malicious programs

Almost everyone has a run at one time or another with a virus or had pop up while browsing the Internet. It starts innocently enough, get a pop up on your screen, you are prompted to sign up for a free holiday and the next, what you know that you have tons of garbage a slow computer, E-mail and more pop-ups than you know what to do with.

Spyware and viruses were the root of the more slow computers than anything else. These programs consume valuable resources, cause random errors, and basically make your computer hating.

Physical hardware limitations

The hardware in your computer is of course a concern if you the cause of a slow computer. Although many times you can upgrade your hardware to a slow computer to fix if it deals with the previous questions, the left still not, the programs that are memory in you will consume eventually new resources and be back with a slow computer. I see it so, if the computer was initially a fast machine, there is no reason that again can be it.

This article was only an introduction to the basics of what's behind a slow computer. In later articles we will show you how to remove and fix bottlenecks in your computer.

How: maintain your computer

Is a computer technician pays
Nice money and has for a very long time. Why? well, in particular
because a lot of new computer owners not to learn
and maintain new computer.
Before purchasing my first computer in the year 1998 back, I took an 8 hour
Class based on the fundamentals of a Windows 95 operating system
Computer...I even with the class within the first few months
had 3 times on the computer crashed. This gives you
something like an idea that we have here today...A lot of

running on my computer. I find the best system
It is in the Moment.Die option of your course, is what
Operating system you install on your computer.
When you get your new computer home and you configure an internet
Connection, the first thing I recommend is getting you do
on the Windows update site. The site will automatically
Update to prevent your new operating system with files
People on other computers to your data access.
Next step is to install an anti-virus and spyware program
Your computer.

If your buying a new computer from a large
Outlet, this is usually included with your purchase but not
always.Make sure about this check when buying your
Computer. Both these programs and anti-virus
Anti-spyware are a must have in today's computer age...You can

You must defragment your files on your hard drive at least once in the month.
Will this be reversed during the course of time, your programs are slow, running your computer with maximum efficiency. Links click on the Start button to search for accessories to find disk question mentoring. run the program. Find that if not for a long time did you, it will make a big difference in the overall performance of the computer.

For computer users with a DSL or cable modem:

Sometimes you will notice that your surfing more slowly, a the sites that make your visit speeds long workaround to this is time to the Laden.Eine the computer off, disconnect your modem in the modem box for a few minutes...Close the modem and turn the computer. This is called the modem to renew. I do this, a few times a week, and my speeds are always fast.

Now in the going to share with you some things you do about whats
Inside of the computer "the case" or your computer

Every 3 months and I recommend all new users who are doing it.

Here is how to do it: before you do anything, first make sure
the computer is connected from the electrical outlet and is fully

Scuba diving computer - types and formats

A diving computer best friend can become a diver. It allows you more than were if you tables diving to stay away from. There are many types and styles of dive computers where you can select. What is best is really personal preference and suitable for the way, you diving. The following are some of the decisions you will have when purchasing your dive computer.

Console dive computer

Dive computer console is attached to the rest of the equipment with a hose. The console dive computer come with a pressure gauge. The ads are usually larger than the wrist dive computer, so you can easier on the eyes.

There are also options for a scuba diving computer on your tube (this is the type we use currently) or mounted the clip on your BC. Select depending, what is comfortable for you and fits in your price range.

Wrist dive computer

The wrist dive computer is very popular. These types of computers look like large watches and wrist worn. You will tell you everything you need to know at a glance. Some wrist dive computer can be mounted in a console.

Sometimes the faces for all the information that the computer can display, can be a bit small, so make sure you able, underwater, to read it.

If you integrated air and wrist dive computer with a pressure gauge wireless (see below) usually come. A small downside here is that this quite easy to misplace / can lose.

Air integrated dive computer

Air integrated dive computers are becoming more common. An air integrated computer measures the tank pressure and then calculate how much time at the current rate of air consumption have left. Integrated dive computer air tell you how much time you can at any level of effort.

Computer integrated an air replaces the need for a submersible pressure gauge (SPG). An is disadvantage of one integrated air computer, that if it fails you will lose information on how much air, you have links in the tank. You dive on.

Nitrox dive computer

Dive with Nitrox more often, so are computers that are Nitrox compatible. Even if you with Nitrox now are not diving if you think even diving with Nitrox in the future is worth it probably acquire a Nitrox dive computer. This saves you the hassle in the future a new computer to buy. But if don't think you ever be diving with Nitrox, then there is no reason for this feature to pay. A standard air computer is probably $100 + less than equivalent Nitrox.

Tubeless dive computer

Tubeless dive computer consists of the recipient (worn on the wrist or mounted on the BC) and a Ješted. The Ješted measures the high-pressure port of stage regulator and then your air sends wireless, to the recipient. The receiver looks exactly like normal dive computer.

This setup cuts down on the number of bags you need. There are now even tubeless dive computer that can accept multiple Transmitors - signal so you can keep even an eye on your friends consumption air. This feature is of course really for the advanced technical divers who can use various tanks on a dive. And, of course, we speak here some rather high price tags.

So think just on how you diving and what skills you need. The right dive computer for one person may be completely wrong for someone else. Choose one that you are comfortable with, and one for you wallet.

Who invented, personal computing? Celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of microcomputing

Translate Request has too much data
Parameter name: request
Translate Request has too much data
Parameter name: request

A generation of young people just leaving college and going out to seek their fortune have grown up with computers, and their computers have always been personal. They've always used a keyboard to enter data and have always viewed their work on a screen that reacted pretty much instantly to their input. Increasingly, they use a small portable computer with a flat high resolution screen, or maybe even a hand-held device, with a user interface they've customized to their own liking. Personal computing. Where did it come from?

I've had reason to think about this, having been involved in the early software business and having recently published a book about my experiences selling software in the late 1970s. The book is called Priming the Pump: How TRS-80 Enthusiasts Helped Spark the PC Revolution. In the book, co-authored with my husband David, we talk about how Steve Leininger, a newly-hired engineer and computer hobbyist, and Don French, a company insider, created this ground-breaking product for Tandy Corporation for under $150,000 in development costs. Tandy, parent of the nationwide chain of Radio Shack stores (3500 at the time) sold the TRS-80 for $599.95. It was the most expensive product Radio Shack had ever sold, and it was a phenomenal success, so successful that Radio Shack was overwhelmed with orders it couldn't fill. People had to go on waiting lists to get one.

So was the TRS-80 the first truly personal computer? We do make the claim that it was the first mass produced (all made in factories in the US) off-the-shelf microcomputer. But in 1977, exactly thirty years ago, the TRS-80 was only one of three microcomputers introduced. There was also the PET from Commodore and the Apple I and II, designed by the guru of geekdom, Steve Wozniak. These three microcomputers hit the market that year, and for the TRS-80, it was the beginning of a series of upgrades and add-ons that eager users snapped up over the next seven or eight years. For Apple, their Apple II computer, which had color from the beginning and was a superb game machine, had an even longer run and sold in huge numbers. In fact, Steve Wozniak, in her new book, iWoz, claims that he "invented the personal computer" (iWoz: How I invented the personal computer, co-founded Apple, and had fun doing it, by Steve Wozniak and Gina Smith, Norton & Company, 2006). But did anyone really "invent" the personal computer?

Before there were personal computers, there were big corporate computers. In the 1960s, computers were large and expensive and did not have a screen. The input/output device was likely to be a teletype machine, itself a large, clunky and expensive machine. Or it may have been connected to a "terminal," another expensive machine that did have a TV-like screen and a keyboard. You might think that this type of computer somehow evolved into the smaller ones we use today, but that is not so.

Small computers, known initially as microcomputers, arose in the 1970s as a result of developments in electronics, specifically the microprocessor, which let many components that used to be individually mounted on a board be part of one integrated device. This was a technology that moved fast once the principles were in place. Intel founder Gordon Moore observed the fast pace and declared a proposition: Moore's Law stated that processing power would double every 18 months, and he's proved right in this observation. But it was more than technical advances that brought about personal computing. It was also a pent-up desire on the part of many people to own their own computer. This is what drove Ted Nelson to write his self-published book, Computer Lib, in 1974 and later write that he sought "the freedom of people to do their own thing with computers." It is what drove Ed Roberts to build the Altair, the first microcomputer, which appeared on the cover of Popular Electronics in January 1975. Roberts was once quoted as saying that he "lusted" after a computer of his own and that "to have a computer was better than sex."

When the Intel 4004 chip came out, it was a beginning, but only a concept, as this first microprocessor did not do enough to power a computer. Then came the 8008 and finally the 8080, the one that became the brains of the Altair and the IMSAI, kit computers that found an eager following. These chips were expensive but soon there were other microprocessors, like the 6502 from MOS Technologies and the Z80 from Zilog. Among the fruit trees of northern California soon to be known as Silicon Valley, a young Steve Wozniak had obtained two 6502 microprocessors at a computer show for the incredibly cheap price of $20 each. The man selling them was Chuck Peddle, who had designed them. I recently heard Chuck give a talk (via internet) to the Vintage Computer Festival in New Jersey in which he stated that his company, MOS Technologies, had experienced many quality control problems and a lot of the chips did not work. He wanted to conceal the problems and make it look like he had produced the chips in abundance, so he filled a barrel with them, but only the ones on top actually worked! Good thing Woz got two that worked, because with those he built the first Apple.

Chuck Peddle sold out to Commodore, which began work on a microcomputer project. Wozniak says in his book that Peddle came to see the prototype Apple II in Steve Jobs' garage and was considering buying the rights to it, but Commodore decided to do their own design. The Commodore PET, released in 1977, had a keyboard for input and a tape cassette for storage; it was a complete system.

In 1976, another Steve - Steve Leininger - was working at National Semiconductor and moonlighting at Paul Terrell's Byte Shop, where Wozniak's Apple I models were for sale. Terrell launched Jobs and Wozniak into a real business with a $50,000 order for the hand-built computer, which had no keyboard or monitor; it was really just a board that hobbyists could make into a real computer with add-ons. Leininger found himself talking one day to some buyers from Tandy Corporation, parent of Radio Shack. He later received an offer of employment and was flown to Fort Worth Texas to meet with John Roach, company CEO, and the man who would be his partner in designing the TRS-80, Don French.

The TRS-80 Model I, introduced in August 1977, had some features that the others lacked. Unlike the annoying "chiclet" keyboard of the PET, the TRS-80 had a full size keyboard. The PET came with a monitor, but the TRS-80 had a larger one. Most importantly, the PET was an all-in-one case model, with no expandability, but the TRS-80 was designed for expansion; the tape cassette recorder (the storage device) and the monitor were separate and could be replaced with something else. Eventually, Radio Shack released an "expansion interface" that let users connect a disk drive and add more memory. The TRS-80, with the BASIC language built-in, could accomplish many useful tasks, and its popularity went well beyond the enthusiastic hobbyist market. Small business owners were among the most eager buyers.

The initial events that made the personal computer possible were about technical advances - better, faster microprocessors - and hardware innovations, such as the five-inch disk drive. But the next wave of innovation that made computers essential to modern life was software, all kinds of software that helped people do common tasks more efficiently. Word Processing. Accounting. Mail lists. Database. And the first "killer app" - spreadsheets, beginning with VisiCalc. At the same time, microcomputers were a new form of entertainment. Games were tremendously popular; some mimicked the arcade games of the day and others were analogies to board games like chess. Some broke new ground for gaming, like Scott Adams' Adventure games, and the popular Oregon Trail. Without all the programmers out there creating useful applications, the computer would never be personal. In our case, David created a word processor called Lazy Writer. It received rave reviews in the many computer magazines that reviewed popular software. We sold copies all over the US and the world, with many buyers in Australia (who used a TRS-80 clone machine called the Dick Smith System 80). We never got rich selling software, but we felt the excitement of being part of something that really was a revolution.

So who invented personal computing? Was it Steve Wozniak, with his amazing designs, or was it Ed Roberts, who believed people lusted after a kit that let them build a computer called Altair, was it Chuck Peddle who gave the world a cheap microprocessor, or was it Leininger and French who built the TRS-80, a machine that had so many fans? Notice that I have not even mentioned Bill Gates or the IBM PC. Gates was there from the beginning, and he too has a claim on inventing personal computing. It was Gates who created the version of the BASIC language that was in the Altair and who later supplied the operating system for the IBM PC, the machine that first gave us the term, "Personal Computer." But it seems clear to me that the vision of a personal computer was out there long before IBM got into the act. In fact, it seems unlikely that we can ever name one person who deserves the credit for "inventing" personal computing. A computer as a personal tool - an idea that was in the ether, as they say, and that had many inventors, both through breakthroughs in hardware and creativity in software.

The tremendous strides we've made in how we use our computers is exemplified for me in two remarks from family members. The first was something my daughter, born in 1985, said to me some years back. She said that when she first heard that computers were once huge machines that filled a room, she pictured in her mind a giant modern computer, with a gigantic screen filling a whole wall and a huge keyboard, with a person jumping from one enormous key to another. She couldn't see how else a computer could fill a room. The other remark was just recently made by my sister, who is relatively new to computer ownership. She had finished reading my book, which she said she enjoyed despite her lack of computer savvy, and I was pleased because we did not intend our book just for geeks. Then she said, "I always thought early computers would be kind of like modern ones only maybe slower, but now I see that they were completely different." My first reaction to this was wanting to say "No they weren't," but I didn't say that because I wanted to think about why she would make this remark. I realized that the way a user interacts with a PC today really is completely different from looking at a screen displaying a blinking cursor and the word "Ready." That's what we used to see on our TRS-80 when we turned it on. It was ready for us to give it a command and until we did, it would do nothing. And it could only do one thing at a time. Just look at the graphics, sound and interactivity of modern personal computers and, even though they are the descendants of the blank screen with a blinking cursor, the way we use computers and take their amazing abilities for granted is completely different from the era of microcomputers that dazzled us thirty years ago.

Computer repair basics for beginners

It is possible for regular Joe's to fix your own computer, without a specialist in call to do computer repair? Yes! You can do it simply and easily learn these computer repair techniques in the article I wrote. They are told are exactly what you need to do and know to repair your computer and working how you want it!

Always the way a company like Geek Squad, is invited by best buy, if you the extra $350, have to repair your computer. Let's also give you here your idea of computer repair is not that you ever need it unless you are looking for someone software you don't need, instead, your computer comes to your home with the intent to repair, sell. Later spoiled I read all of you my experience with this company and how it has associated amusement in my world

Going through only on the computer repair techniques we need to know I will waste your time with confusing nonsense about how a computer works or how broken the computer in the first place where it is to computer repair, get? Who cares right? What happened is, to fix the damn thing.

I will show as computer repair of the easiest and the most simplest way possible as you do. We will improve our current computer situation since at this exact moment exists it need it to free computer repair.

Computer repair basics here presented and articles, the consequences are repair more than enough for the eradication of 90% your home problems to solve, all so to correct you on the Internet for "Repair your computer" and how your computer problems.

You might think as I as I knew very little about computers or repair, which it will be near impossible to understand this mysterious beeping square towers or how you work not less at a time. It is much easier, then maybe you think! You just need to know what information is important about computer repair, discard all the unnecessary things, most computer repair companies, say to confuse you, so that you rent. We don't need you! We have ourselves and by gosh darn you, we have these helpful articles that you thought basic computer repair.

Computer repair steps are all equal.

We repeat, computer repair steps are all equal, no matter, if you do it or a computer engineer, to do that. The computer technicians is but the basic steps during the repair of a computer system, the same steps that we in this article to go over. He could know what to do when a computer is in this chance by 10% more damage then normal, but are we not us with that odd chance to make.

There are hundreds of computer gurus that repair to develop new and innovative ways to computer. Computer repair techniques already mapped out for us, and proven, so only other people can work and findings about computer repair after all use its legal and free!. Think it's the same idea in the same situation where you look up a recipe to cook a fancy meal!

Now, I have been prepping for long to tell you why I think you can do it. You know, you can do it, you must believe in themselves and computer repair step at a time. I can't stress that enough. Computer repair has done in steps...((1) before 2). Yes, it sounds obvious, but strictly on yourself about its especially while learning to do, such as computer repair you will simply on their own.

Normally when we fix we have something in life... blah blah identify the problem. Skip, identifying the problem! (not, how are you in school huh?) Can also not try to locate a problem, with our computer repair!

We go to the first some very simple computer repair basics that (Shhh you overpriced Geek Squad or know someone won't) will solve almost all computer problems.

First leader in computer repair

1) Click on the start menu, a button that appears while the mouse pointer on the start menu button is the "run". Click the button run and a small window at the bottom of the screen left comes.

2) Type "Msconfig" (with no quotation marks) in the field, the inside of the window.

(3) Another window comes up, now go to the tab to the right called "Start up"

(4) At the bottom of the window is a button called click "Disable all" button

(5) Then "apply" just below the button 'disable all button".

6 X to the window (close window) and another window will open. Click on the option "restart now".

And there you have it! She taught to do itself just like a very simple computer repair technique that will solve a lot of your computer repair problems.

I'm a regular guy, has short interest in the computer repair, and learned some things the others with your daily interactions with computers can help. I remember two years ago I knew nothing about computer, which gives the mind set for the uninitiated me explains how the masses to help who think you don't know, enough, to resolve your computer problems.

You are computer - how important?

Computers today are currently overpriced and still in an experimental phase well away from the typical consumer. Computer seem to be designed, our time to waste by unnecessary load redundant data and shockingly slow components by improving the archaic concepts. This is standard on most computers. On the other hand, computers are now much more user friendly. Most computers virtually her running productive life without ever no regular maintenance. Computers are like cars that need oil, maintenance and related maintenance services.
The problems that arise with computers are almost always software-based and those are that very problems it virtually impossible for a service technician to resolve.

Computer

Computers were never built to control us, even if this is as it seems. You know and love have not too long. They are small, fast, reliable and extremely useful. Knew that was in 1983 around 2 million PCs in the United States in use. The first home PC was sold until 1977. A typical computer contains many types of memory including RAM, ROM, virtual cache and various long-term storage device. Any type of computer memory serves a specific function and purpose. RAM or random access memory in contrast to ROM works only if the computer is turned on. This memory is critical to your computer because it controls the processes of moment of the computer. Unlike today's computers, only 64 K RAM required early personal computer. RAM and ROM may be very important parts of the computer; but without storage devices hard near drives and hard drives, which your computer wouldn't, so useful.

The most common forms of storage devices that are found at home on your computer, is floppy disk or floppy disk (drive) or HDA round plastic surface coated with magnetic film. The disk function is to save all files, and software of the computer will ever use. If someone had brain of the computer find probably would say its microprocessor. The processor is the one of the computer, the most important computer dead he is. A computer by its microprocessor power is defined to a large extent.

Output and input is important, but equally important is the ability to read what the computer is doing. Computer output devices are used to serve the user. However, come the most computer with speakers and a printer output devices are excellent. Input devices in the computer, such as the keyboard in a laptop can be established or it can be connected by a cable to the computer. The computer is nothing but a logic machine that can do more than the programmer programs to do it. It can not independent decisions or do do what a person could. Speed of the computer in problem solving logic, but has practical "impractical" and the "impossible" possible made.

Programming a computer means that establishing an algorithm, is nothing but a combination of logical steps that provide a solution for a specific problem. This usually means that those steps in one of the computer languages such as FORTRAN, COBOL, or Microsoft BASIC set. Much home computer advertisement led people to believe that you can program a computer, but, if you are qualified to do so, I would leave you to someone who is. Users can extend the functionality of their computers by adding memory, networking, multimedia, security and wireless modules. In the process which gives us incredible ability, made us through hoops to jump computers to use these functions. Before the embark on any expensive equipment costs should "some exposure to computers also." Note: Sometimes, I think, the computer corrupts this generation, because it so good - at least physically.

The benefits of custom build your own computer

Many people, including myself, choose custom build our own computer from scratch, part by part. Although very fun to build it to your own computer which is not the only reason we choose to build it yourself. There are many benefits to building your own computer.

1. Low cost

Is no money the number one motivation to do something? When I say, it is cost effective to build, I mean really, that it. You are not only a little either to save. I talk about savings of up to $800 if you build it yourself. That's right! The brand name prebuilt computers are so overpriced. You are making one off of you killing. The only thing that is worse than the brand pre-built computers are those online custom computer configuration businesses. I'm talking about the guys who let choose assemble your own parts there for you and then sent to you. The guys break big time!

2. Building a computer is a great skill

How many households have a computer? A recent survey estimates that about 80% of American households at least one computer have. Some households have more than one. Hell, I have three computers and a notebook in my house! Now you think about it. Building a computer is a skill that can be used in more than 80% of American households.

3. You will learn so much

When you first build a computer, you gain a lot know. You learn all sorts of things that you never would have stopped to think. Perhaps you will learn that you are more in technology than meets the eye. All the best jobs are included. Who knows? Maybe after creating the first computer will you change careers!

4. You know exactly what is under the hood

In addition to low cost, this is the second biggest reason why I chose to build my computer to custom. Great computer retail stores in all types of low-quality parts in your system to take. Many of the parts don't even have a brand name. Because when someone asked what graphics card your computer is off, the computer manufacturer not to tell you! You do it on a daily basis. Go to a site that sells computer and trying to figure, what brand of parts are used inside the computer. I guarantee that you find the part names everywhere! Even the online custom computer configuration guys do it. To put you generic, no. name parts in your computer then you pay an extra $800 for nothing! The money goes directly into their pockets. If you strongly build custom your own computer, you could use that money in a faster processor, better graphics, more storage. You could have the $800 used to build an entire gaming rig! Build your own computer to share with all custom ordered and you will know exactly what brand and model be used parts in your computer. Apart from that you know are high-quality parts.

Most come with a 1 year warranty

That's right! Do you know how most brands guarantee are void computer, even if you open the case or the part touching? Even with a custom built computer. Each part of that order come with own guarantee. In other words, get a separate guarantee for the case, the processor, memory, disk, etc.. If on the one hand worse to send it straight back for a new. It's really hard to void this warranty. As long as you a bottle of Coca-Cola anywhere on your computer pour not, the guarantee should be fine.

As you can see, outweighs the benefits of custom building your own computer seriously buy a ready-made computer. Building your own computer is not really as hard as you think either. You probably know someone who could help to build your first. And even if do not come with the parts you buy a set of instructions. The first time that I built a computer alone, it took me a little more than an hour, to do it. Now I can build in about 30 minutes to an hour. The time is nothing when you remember you save hundreds of dollars to do it yourself!

Computer data base - what it consists of

Data

Data entry is indicated by touching a "key" on the keyboard image on the interactive display. Data entered by the interactive display is coupled by a keyboard bus and a keyboard interface to the processing unit. Continue to provide that data to process, so that accurate data files are created, accurate results to computer database. Access should be restricted, such as disposal, add or remove information about a computer database is much easier than if the information is stored.

Computer data base

The different definitions can cause confusion, especially as definition of "computer database" is broad and can contain non-technical information. Some sort of remote data transfer system is recommended (over telephone lines, communications satellites) and recommended a system integrate the data into a computer database automatically. These consist of many units, such as the following. "Computer" is an electronic, magnetic, optical, organic or other computing device or system performs arithmetic, logical memory or storage capabilities. "Computer" includes any property, data storage facility or communications facility directly in connection with or operated in conjunction with this device or system. "Computer data base" is a representation of information, facts, concepts or instructions know, which are prepared in a formalized way or preparation were or computer system or computer network-established by a computer and such units are intended for use in one. "Computer program" is that when running on a computer system of the computer specified functions caused an ordered set of statements that can interact with related data. "Computer Control Language" means all ordered instructions a computer, to perform certain functions. "Computer services" includes but is not limited to data processing and storage capabilities. Computer programs, procedures or related documentation is concerned with the operation of a computer system are "Computer Software". One or more computers, peripherals, software, data or programs are "Computer system". "Access" means the direct communication, store data in, retrieve data from, or otherwise make use of the equipment, including but not limited to computers and other computers or resources linked.

A person commits the offense of unlawful use of a computer if it whether in person, electronically or through the intentional distribution of a computer virus: accesses or exceeds authorization to access to changes, damaged or destroyed by any computer, computer system, computer network, computer software, computer program or data base or a part of a computer system with a view: interrupt the normal functions to execute cheat scheme or control property or services by means of false pretenses, representations or promises; intentionally and without authorization requests, changed, mingles with the operation of, damage or destroy any computer, computer system, computer network, computer software, computer program or computer database or a part of the computer.

Computer performance - 7 ways to speed up Windows computers

Are you sick and tired of it taking forever to open a website, file or program? Did your computer seem to run a lot faster when you first got it? If your answers to these 2 questions were yes, then please read on. In this article I am going to give you tips to speed up your computer. They can all be done today, even if you are new to computers. The 7 steps that I am going to share with you are so easy, believe me you can do it! These are techniques that computer technicians in several different support organizations do and some charge a lot of money for their walking you through these processes. You are going to get them today at no charge. Are you ready? Then let's begin!

Step 1: Scandisk

You should run scandisk at least once a month. This will make sure that your computer can read all of the information on your disk. How will this speed up my computer? I'm glad you asked! You see your computer has in it's hard drive what the technicians call redundancy. What I mean is if your computer is trying to read a file and the data isn't read correctly from the disk, the computer tries to read that information again and again a set number of times. This results in slower loading times. When scandisk is ran regularly this keeps your disk free of these storage errors and thus enables the computer to get the information it needs from the disk as fast as possible. Scandisk should be run before the next step each and every time.

I know you're asking, how do I run scandisk. It's simple. Find that icon on your desktop or in your start menu labeled 'My Computer'. In there you will see a listing of all the drives in your computer. Right click on the drive you want to scan and go to properties. There, you will have a tools tab. Click on it. You will see a button that says check for errors. This is scandisk or also called checkdisk on different versions of windows. There are 2 different modes, Standard or Thorough. Standard checks and makes sure that all the bits and pieces of your files are in the spot on the disk where it thinks they should be. In other words, it checks for filing errors. Thorough does a standard check as well as it tests each spot on the disk where the drive can write something and makes sure that what it writes, it reads back the same thing. If it doesn't read the same information back, it marks that spot as bad so that it is not used. This keeps down that redundancy thing we spoke of earlier. Wasn't that easy? Now, on to Step 2.

Step 2: Defrag

Defrag should be run once a week if you use your computer more than 14 hours a week. This equates to about 2 hours a day. Most people who actively use their computer will fall into this category. Defrag, whose real name is disk defragmenter, is your best friend for speed. You see when your computer writes something to the disk; it starts the disk to turning and drops bits of the data you want to write wherever there is a hole. It then tells the filing system where it placed that piece. So your file could be literally broken into 20 pieces! Your disk takes longer to load the file because it has to jump around to different spots to gather the pieces together when it needs it. Defrag takes care of this by gathering the pieces all together and writing them back to the disk in one piece. This way when you need the information, it's all right there. To run defrag it's the same as where we went for scandisk. You go to 'My Computer' and you right click on the drive you want to run defrag on and go to properties. There go to the tools tab. Click the Defragment button. Wow this is getting easier by the minute! On to step 3.

Step 3: Background Programs

Background programs really slow down your computer's performance. They accomplish this by using up your computer's resources. Resources are the combined power of your processor (brain), memory, and disk space. These 3 are the equivalent to horsepower. This is where you will gain a lot of your speed back as well. If you look at an area of your screen right now, I can show you a fraction of some of these that you never thought of. The area I want you to look at is called your system tray. It is located next to your clock, which is opposite your start menu. If your start menu is on the left side, then the clock is on the right. Next to the clock you will see these little icons or pictures. These are programs that run on your computer whenever it boots. Guess what, these are background programs. They are there to help load things you need faster. If you are following this guide you really don't need most of them. Do you?

Here's how you get rid of them and most of the others that you can't even see as well. Sorry folks who are on Windows 2000, this step won't work for you. If you read to the end I will give you a bonus that will make up for it, I promise. Ok, for the rest of you, click on start. Click on run. Type msconfig. Click ok. You should get a system configuration utility. Be very careful here and follow my instructions exactly. Click on the startup tab at the top. You will have a list of all the programs that run when your computer boots or starts. If you look down the list there will be some names that are familiar to you. When you see those names I want you to think: "Do I really need this program running all the time?" If the answer is no, uncheck the box. For example, some of you may have heard of RealPlayer. There's a smart start icon associated with it. You really don't need real player running when you are only going to be playing FreeCell now do you? :) On to step 4.

Step 4: Temporary Files

Temporary files hold up space on your disk. These files are most of the time useless. Temporary files are just that; files that were temporarily created by a program or installer. They are supposed to be deleted when not needed any longer, but a lot of programs do a poor job of cleaning them up. Helping them out will get you more speed for your horsepower. For example: let's take temporary internet files. When you go to a website every element of that website's decorations are stored in a temp file on your computer. Your computer does this to help supposedly. It's supposed to help by when you visit the same site again; the elements of the website will already be on your computer and therefore don't have to be downloaded again. This in theory should speed up your surfing right? Wrong! Here's what really goes down. For every element of the website, your computer reads every temp file to see if it matches. Every single file in your temporary internet files folder! To get a grasp of this here's what I want you to do. Open internet explorer. Go to the tools menu and click on internet options. Click the settings button. Then click the view files button. Do you see what I mean? Every file! Now...Close the temporary internet files window. Click OK on the settings window. Do you see that button next to settings on the internet options window? It's labeled delete files. Click it. Check delete all offline content. Click ok. When the hourglass is gone, you are all clean! This should be done once a month. This will keep your whole computer running smoothly. The secret lies in Internet Explorer. It's integrated so much into windows, when it has a problem, windows has a problem. What I am saying is when you opened my computer in steps 1 and 2. You were using internet explorer. Ok. Nuff said. On to step 5!

Step 5: Antivirus

Good Antivirus software is an absolute must! There are several choices to choose from. Some cost money and some don't. Viruses hide on your computer and wreak havoc. If you don't have antivirus software on your computer, you will never know they are there. They sit and hide out until their appointed time and then interfere with your computer. Viruses are programs written by people with too much time on their hands and not enough morals. They sit and think of ways to make your day bad. Some viruses will sit on your computer and do nothing but open up connections to other servers all over the internet. What does that do? It slows your computer down drastically! Nuff said. Your choices are to get paid antivirus software like Norton, Mcafee, or Computer Associates. If you don't have the cash to spare then you can go to your favorite search engine like Yahoo or Google and enter in 'free antivirus download' and get a list of all kinds of scanners. Some is far better than none. Some of the best free software that I have found are AVG, Avast!, and ClamWin. If you have a fear of installing software, never fear. There are also free online virus scanners. Again, you go to your favorite search engine and type in 'free online virus scan' and you will get plenty of results. Beware though, with these scanners you run the risk of getting infected still. The reason is you have to go to the site and scan the computer yourself, preferably once a week. In that time a virus could have already infected your machine. Antivirus software that you install on the computer checks every file, every time it's used thus drastically decreasing the chances of infection. It's like a flu shot. Some of the good online virus scanners are Norton, Panda, and BitDefender. Now, on to step 6.

Step 6: Recycle Bin

It is very important to keep your recycle bin empty. What I mean is this, you don't want to have hundreds of files sitting in your recycle bin that you deleted 6 months ago. They are taking up valuable space. Windows uses your drive as memory to run programs. When you run out of physical memory, it uses what's called a page or swap file and stores it there. These recycle bin files are taking up space that windows could be using for memory. Every bit of memory you can get adds to your horsepower. So for God's sake, please keep your recycle bin tidy. Get rid of things that you are sure you won't need again. When you go to delete something, and you are absolutely sure you won't need it again, you can hold down the shift key and press the delete key to permanently delete it without sending it to the recycle bin. And now, last but not least, step 7.

Step 7: Adware and Spyware

I like to call these small time viruses. The industry calls them parasites. Norton calls them extended threats. Do you get my drift? What is adware and spyware you may ask? They are actually quite similar. I'll start first by explaining the ways that you can get them on your computer. Let's say you download a 'free' program to run on your computer that you think is pretty neat. If you are like most of us, you don't take the time to read the license agreement. If you did, you would find a line similar to: by installing this product you agree to install xyz product which will be used to send marketing information to the makers of the software. Do you see how they get you? One of the other ways you can get it is by going to some random website. It doesn't matter what it is, but they have this script that runs as the page is loading and it installs the adware and/or spyware on your computer. The last way that I will discuss here is through a virus. There are viruses out there whose sole job is to download adware, spyware, keyloggers, and other malicious software on to your computer. These things really slow your computer down. Here's how they work.

Adware and spyware install on your computer and watch what you do, where you surf, you know what you are interested in. They then open a connection to a server and report your activities. They are very good at what they do! Where adware and spyware differ is spyware does nothing but report your activities. Adware on the other hand reports your activities and the server it reports to in turn sends it an ad to display on your computer. Now, just like there are antivirus programs out there, there are now very good antispyware and antiadware programs on the market. Noadware, Spybot, and Adaware are a few of the good ones.

In conclusion there are 7 major ways to speed up your computer with simple maintenance and preventative measures. Run scandisk, defrag, get rid of excess background programs, delete temporary files, get some antivirus software, and also get a good adware and spyware remover utility. I hope you have found this information useful. I hope that I have helped someone here with this information and I pray that you will check out some other very useful information at

I love you all. God bless you!

P. S. For you Windows 2000 users, I made a promise to you back in step 3. Here's where I deliver! If you can get access to a Windows 98,ME, or XP machine. You can copy msconfig.exe to a disk and use it on your computer to get rid of background programs using the directions in step 3. Just search the c: drive for msconfig.exe and copy it to floppy. Bring it to your computer and run it. God Bless!

Computer tips - how to choose, if you buy a computer to buy

To choose a machine - questions "What is the most popular computer" is the right question? First way, I have found that many people first questions, "What is the most popular computer?" and the answer, the question choose thinking about this for you to leave. Well, this is not necessarily the best idea.

Just because something popular is does not necessarily it is that existing - for example, fast food restaurants are popular places to go, but I think we all know that they serve the best food in the world. Here is the thing to remember when thinking about how to choose when buying a computers-should generally avoid the big brand names. Yes, this might surprise you, but I think it is generally not a good idea from a major brand name companies buy (there is an exception, I order in a minute will be).

Here's why: dollar for dollar, generally you will get a worse deal than if you go with a reputable "generic" or "white box" shop. A lot of people have low price first on your list when you try to figure out how to choose if you buy a computer. So you go with a cheap brand name and spend a few hundred dollars to you, and you think, getting a good deal. But what you don't realize is that it is common for many of the big brand companies sell very outdated computers on their lower price categories, and from what I heard have, sell often also computer with parts you know, are bad!

I'm not kidding about diese-- most of the major computer companies out there, if you sell your least expensive computers try to unload that gathered dust on their shelves for a long time old inventory. Sell it for you as if it is new, and perhaps in the sense that is never before bought it, but it is hardly new to the technology. And the alarming involves that of which I've heard what, often parts you have those computers, * known * to be bad parts!

You see, when a chipmaker like Intel makes a computer (the "brain" of the computer) processor, test it to ensure that it works. Makes sense, right? But inevitably many of you fail this test. Now would these bad parts would throw, but Nein--from what I heard what happened you sell you on the major computer companies with discount, and companies in your computer anyway remember.

What can a bad processor, which a lot of the time you run slower set is, and while it may not with full speed run, works good enough to run the tests to pass it. But the parts are still bad! Sure you can work OK for a while (perhaps just long enough to it by the warranty period), but have more small "errors" and dismantling used at the end. So if you configure a renowned local company sold computer that you find, get a well built computer for much less you as figures for the brand.

A family-owned store like this is the only place which would personally a Windows PC, I buy. As previously mentioned there was an exception among the big Markennamen--if you have read my articles or my e-mail newsletter for a while, you already that you might have guessed is flow - Apple.

Apple is the only major brand name computer, I personally would buy (I'm writing this on a MacBook Pro). I do this partly because I've used many different types of computers over the years, and really not with Windows much enjoy. But I do also because Apple does not intentionally bad processors in their computers or try to sell obsolete computers as new. Some people complain that Apple Macs are too expensive, but this is not the case actually, when compared apples to apples (excuse the pun), you tend to in same, than Dell or HP of the same general price information.

The bottom line is, so here's how to choose if you buy a computer: If you, like with Windows stick, support a local business and go into a good business that assembles your computer parts for you. Or finally get away from Windows and switch to a Mac.

Always get a better deal. Hope that makes sense and helps with your decisions about how chose to buy a computer.

Cleaning Your Computer of Viruses:

I think I can make the assumption that most of you have heard of computer viruses before? For those who haven't, a computer virus is a program created by highly advanced programmers world wide with the intent on harming your computer in so many ways. Viruses can infect your computer, delete important files, corrupt your hard drive, or even make your computer unusable. Viruses can mean death to your computer. We are all subjectable to a virus attack, in fact millions of computers are infected with some form of virus right now as you read this, and your computer may be one of those infected.

Ways To Get Infected With A Virus:

1) - Firewall is not activated


2) - No anti-virus software


3) - Spam Email attachment


4) - File transfer via a messenger service


5) - Copying files from an infected CD, or floppy Disk


6) - Network of computers sharing files

A virus can infect your computer through any of the methods from above. Prevention is the key to making sure you don't keep your computer to such attacks.

How To Prevent Viruses From Coming In:

1) Activate Your System Firewall:

You want to make sure that your firewall is active. A firewall blocks hackers from finding loop-holes within your computer that gives them a gateway (doorway) in. A firewall can help to stop most hackers, but not all of them.

Activating your firewall:

Windows systems: START > CONTROL PANNEL > INTERNET CONNECTIONS > WINDOWS FIREWALL > "On (Recommended)".

Mac Users: APPLE MENU > SYSTEM PREFERENCES > SHARING PANE > FIREWALL > START

There you go; your firewall is now active!

2) Scan Your Computer With An Anti-Virus Software:

Installing an anti-virus software is key! An anti-virus software will help to monetize your computer for viruses. An anti-virus software will also help to perform a system wide scan of your computer for already infected areas.

Most newer computers come with an anti-virus software already installed; all you need to do is run the program.

Here are some of the top PAID anti-virus software's:

(No particular order)

Norton Ani-Virus By Symantec


McAfee Ani-Virus


BitDefender


Kaspersky



Here are some of the top FREE anti-virus software's:

(No particular order)

AntiVir Personal Edition Classic 6.32


Active Virus Shield (AOL)


Alwil Software Avast Home Edition 4.6


Grisoft AVG Free Edition 7.1

For more anti-virus software's, with good editorial reviews go to: Download.com

Once installed, launch the program, and find a button that says "update virus definitions". This will help to make sure your virus definitions are up-to-date. Virus definitions have the most recently found viruses that just came on the market. Up-to-date definitions are key to finding newer, more powerful viruses.

Once you've updated your definitions, close all running programs and perform a "full system scan". Depending on your computers size, and speed, the scan can take up to a couple of hours to complete.

Once complete, hit a button that will say something like; "Quarantine Files", "Delete Infected Files", "Clean Up Files", "Remove Infected Files". This process will remove all files that have been flagged as a virus, and it will do this safely without harming your computer.

Things to know:

Once a virus scan is complete, reboot your computer.


Some viruses cannot be caught while your computer is running; they may have to be removed after a reboot (which should be automatic).


You can setup a full system scan to start at 12 midnight every night.


Scan your computer ATLEAST once a week if connected to the internet.

You'll probably start to notice that your computer is running faster, this is because the viruses which were there before, are no longer using your computers memory to run consistently.

Some viruses are extremely resilient and cannot be removed from a simple virus scan. Going through (Part 2 & Part 3) will help to attack these harder-to-find viruses.

3) Don't Open Suspicious Email attachments:

So many viruses are activated by people like yourself who open email attachments that they don't recognize. Most viruses are distributed this way. Part 6 - "Useful Email tips & fighting spam" from this mini-series will go into greater detail on fighting spam, but for those of you who won't get to read that article, I must mention a couple of things here:

Do NOT open an email that you don't recognize, or didn't ask for!


Do NOT open an attachment with the extension ".exe".


Immediately delete emails from people you don't recognize


Do NOT save emails onto your computer that you don't recognize


Spammers will try to trick you into thinking they are your friend


Pay close attention at the person, email, and content from each email


Do NOT click "Unsubscribe" from a spam email, this will do the opposite


Do NOT reply back to an email you don't recognize


Do NOT forward an email that you don't recognize


Report ALL spam to your internet service provider

These email tips I just mentioned are part of the basic foundations to helping you fight spam, and to ensure that you don't inadvertently activate a malicious virus onto your computer.

4) Avoid Using Messenger Services:

Messenger services, or "chat programs" on your computer are like leaving an open gateway pointing directly to your computer. Messenger services like "MSN Chat", or "Yahoo Chat" connect two computers together in order to talk to each other over and over again. This allows the two computers to give, and receive information through the software.

An Example of What Can Happen:

Many viruses have infiltrated millions of computers through this easy to hack service by disguising itself as "your chat friends" and by sending you a link to a virus file to open up onto your computer. The problem is, you have no idea what kind of file you're opening, because it seems as though the file came directly from your friend (who is infected by this virus), and it looks as though they are simply trying to send you a photo of themselves.

Personally, no one is allowed to have a messenger chat software installed on any of our computers. They are too easily misused, and can give a hacker a passport to your computer.

If your children use such a service, make sure to let them know of what can happen if they accept files from others. Tell them that it's better to send files via an email attachment, rather than through a messenger chat script. At least this way, an email can pass through various firewalls, and anti-virus software's before getting to your computer. This also ensures that you know exactly who is sending you the file.

5) Copying Files From An Infected CD, or Floppy Disk:

We've all done it, taken a disk from a friend, or co-worker, and inserted a disk into our computer in order to copy all the files from the disk. Did you ever think to scan the disk for viruses before copying any of the files?

Viruses come in all shapes & sizes, they are passed along from one computer to another. The person who gave you the disk could have had a virus lurking within their files, and they may have copied it onto the disk they just gave you. It happens all the time.

An easy way to protect yourself from getting viruses this way is to launch your anti-virus software, and scan your disk drive with the cd, or floppy disk in it. It takes only a couple of seconds to prevent a disaster.

6) Sharing Files From A Network of Computers:

Many companies network their computers together so that they can share files easily between the two, instead of always copying files onto a disk. The same thing happens at home as well when two computers are networked together. Make sure you have your firewall in place (step 1 above), and make sure your anti-virus software (step 2 above) is keeping an eye on your "shared folders" section. This just helps to prevent viruses from jumping one computer to another. Again, always perform a virus check within your "shared folder" when you receive files from others.

In Conclusion:

There you have it. You now have a good base of knowledge to help prevent viruses from getting into your computer. Make sure to make it a habit to double-check everything to ensure that you don't unwillingly leave an open doorway directly to your computer. When using software's like chat scripts, make sure not to accept files via your chat script. Never read, or open emails that you don't recognize, and always make it a habit to scan your disks, hard drive, and email attachments before something terrible happens.

Now that you have some knowledge against fighting viruses, let's move onto part 2 of this series which talks about fighting another form of attack against your computer, the deadly spyware!

Next: Part 2 - Cleaning your computer of spyware & ad-aware
