Tips to identify Computer Virus

2012-04-26T21:56:00.000-07:00

Given the discreet manner in which computer viruses tend to hide in a PC, identifying whether a system is indeed virus-infected could well be an uphill job. However, considering the erratic way your PC has been behaving lately, if you feel that the system might have been infiltrated by a malicious agent, it is best to check if the computer actually has a virus or the problems are sparked by some other issue.

After a virus invades a system it might remain indiscernible in the PC for a long time before it actually carries out its malicious activity. Often, by the time users run a virus removal scan, the invader spreads considerably and already implements its harmful activities. Fortunately, there is a number of tell-tale signs that you can watch out for which are usually a clear indicator of virus infection. Continue reading to know about some of the common signs of a virus infection and if your PC has been displaying these issues for some time now, virus infiltration is a strong possibility.

Watch out for the evident changes

In case if you notice some significant changes in the desktop or the usual manner in which your computer operates, virus infection might indeed be one of the reasons. If any application has been deleted from your desktop or the position of the icons has been changed, your system can be virus-infected. In addition to this, presence of a new toolbar on the web browser is also a tell-tale sign of virus invasion.

Go to the Control Panel and then click on ‘Add or Remove Programs’ heading. Take a look at all the applications that are installed and check if you see any program not installed by you. Many viruses have this tendency of installing other applications that are likely to trigger additional problems in the system. So, in addition to getting the virus removed, to fix computer’s security problems you also need to delete the additional applications.

Test the speed

One of the most obvious signs of virus infiltration is a slow computer that is unable to deliver proficient performance. Initially when a virus invades a computer, the system might become slightly sluggish, however, after a considerable time the PC might become too slow to operate. In some cases, disconnecting the Internet might boost up your system’s speed. But if the virus infection is too severe, Internet disconnection would also fail to make any difference to the computer’s speed. If at any point of time you require expert assistance while mending a slow PC, take online computer help.

Check your security application

If your antivirus software has become outdated or has been disabled, it is evident that the security tool would be ineffective in keeping the PC well-protected. At the same time, also take a closer look at the firewall and the Windows updates to see whether the by any chance the settings have been changed. Malicious viruses can disable a security application to gain greater access into the system. For full protection, choose a software that has spyware removal ability as well.

Outsourcing the Work.

2012-03-30T23:43:00.002-07:00

In Today's IT Changing environment and modalities in every sectors and fields and due to high rise of infaltion and costs reduction measures in terms of production, trading, merchandise each and every sectors has applied the thumb rule of outsourcing their work.

The person who get engaged with these outsourcing are called Contractors and Freelancers in their respective fields. They get engaged up to the work assigned to them and afterwards their job has got over, to search for the new job work or outsource from other companies. Outsourcing really means assiging the work to other persons and contractors. Different sectors and different fields has thier own terminology for their contractors.

Outsourcing has its own advantages to both the parties(Companies as well as Contractors) as they are not bound and liable to each other after their contractorship. Companies gets free in terms of monetary as they don't have to pay the salary packets to the free lancers as against the employees. The policy has now changed from employment towards outsourcing. We have heared many times the US Policy of "Hiring and Firing. Hiring and firing in easy terms means you are there in what you should be. It suits to Contractors and Freelancers as they does not get occupied with the same company over a life time and they are in a position to take as many contracts depending upon their capacity and expertise. Again here the services comes along with a tag on it sometimes the main freelancers again get divided with some other sub freelancers.

The main purpose of outsourcing is to get the work assigned to the contractors and again the contractors may get shifted to their contractors to get finally the finished products and services to its prime clients. The main and first contractor is only liable to his clients nor his sub contractors working under him.The Contractors may be in the form of Company or freelancers. and if company then there should be the management and work force in it.

We will cover speeding up windows 7 and how to optimize your Windows 7 PC or Laptop in a safe manner. These steps do not involve any “hacks”, so you can safely use them without harming your system in any way.

#1: Remove Unused Programs & Windows Features

By going to control panel and click uninstall programs, it enhances the speed up of your computers.

The most common cause of slowdown are programs that automatically run when Windows starts and keep running in the background consuming precious system memory.

A better way to review startup programs is to use the System Configuration utility. From the Start menu, enter msconfig in the search box and start it from the search result. In this utility, click the Startup tab and review each entry. If you see entries of programs you don’t need, uncheck the box to disable that application from running at startup. Note : this does not uninstall applications from your system, it only disables them from automatically running at startup.

#3: Disable Sounds

You can disable unwanted Windows sounds to squeeze more performance. Go to Control Panel –> Hardware and Sound –> Change system sounds. In the Sound Scheme drop down, choose No Sounds, uncheck Play Windows Startup sound and click OK.

#4: Adjust Power Settings

The default power management setting in Windows 7 is Balanced, conserving power at the cost of performance. If you are not concerned with battery usage and power consumption and more concerned with speeding up Windows 7, you can change the setting for maximum performance. In Control Panel, go to Power Options.

Click the down arrow to Show additional plans, and select the High performance power plan.

Image File Formats

2011-12-26T22:08:00.000-08:00

On the web today, GIF, PNG and JPEG are the most common and widely supported image file formats. Choosing appropriately, cropping and resizing images is important to keep pages lightweight and quick to load. Below is a guide to explain how each of these file formats work, when to use them and why.

JPEG format is intended for photo-style images only: photographs, movie stills, computer game stills, etc.

The GIF and PNG formats are ideal for compressing graphics that contain flat areas of plain color, as well as text.

Use PNG to compress text, line art, comic strip style illustrations, screenshots of applications, etc. As a lossless format it won't distort or alter the original image and allows fine lines and other details to be reproduced accurately. For typical web use, stick to 8 bit (256 color).

Today PNG has largely replaced the GIF format. GIF is traditionally used for line art, text or comic-style illustrations where the 256 color limitation is desired. Many feel that the only real value in the format is for animations.

10 Top Tips for Business Computer Safety

Author:

Ian Spencer

Well we have put together these helpful tips to help small business owners.

Firewall, you have probably heard about a firewall, most broadband routers have a small firewall built in. Make sure its enabled. Be sure to block traffic on port 3389. This is a common port used for hackers.

Windows Firewall, found in control panel on your computer, make sure this is enabled

Anti Virus, ensure you have a full edition of anti virus on your computers, you will need to pay for protection but its worth it. I would recommend Symantec for a small business

Anti Spam, ensure you have a good spam filter, you don\'t need to install software, this can be managed before the mail reaches your server or PC

Sending Email, if sending to more than 3 or 4 people, ensure you use BCC instead of TO, you have a responsibility to keep peoples email addresses secure. If unsure ask someone.

Passwords, always ensure you have a password on your computers, change this regularly and don\'t tell people what it is, use a mixture of uppercase and lowercase, include numbers and symbols. A good length is 8 characters.

Acceptable Use Policy, make sure your computer users all sign an acceptable use policy, this offers you added protection by employees agreeing to use equipment appropriately and for work use only.

Wireless Networking, if you have wireless networking in your office, make sure its secure, avoid WEP, as a minimum ensure you are using WPA-PSK encryption. Also, ensure the security key is kept secret, that way you avoid members of staff adding their mobiles to your network and using your internet connection.

Remote Access, if you want to access your system remotely ensure you use methods of encryption on the connection, a VPN creates a secure connection between you and your business network, use this method to transfer data when you can. Alternatively use remote desktop to a PC in your business network rather than directly to your business server.

Management & Support, if your not an IT expert then you should employ the services of someone who is. This can be on a formal Pay As You Go basis, so they have a basic understanding of your setup and needs, and you only pay for help and support when you need. If you have a server then you should certainly have a formal support contract in place. A good IT company will provide monitoring, management and support for a small monthly fee. Price would depend on your individual requirements. Organisations with formal agreements in place are better protected as systems are monitored and patch proactively.
