The reason why most computer malware are so deadly is because many users fail to recognize whether they have been infected or not. Had they detected the infection at an earlier stage, the damage caused could have been greatly reduced. As each virus is programmed differently, it becomes difficult to identify a virus outbreak. However, there are some general symptoms that make it easy to detect an infected computer. Here are some of them:- 1) Programs won't start or crash suddenly: If some system programs like the task manager or registry editor have suddenly stopped working or crash randomly without any visible reason, it is more than likely that your computer has got some form of worm that is attaching itself to various programs and thus, corrupting their code. A virus modifying registry entries to prevent these programs from running could also cause this. 2) Unusual Network Traffic: If even after closing your browser and other applications that may use the internet, you see th...

Seventy-nine percent of purchase decisions are influenced by online reviews – so it’s easy to see why businesses are so concerned about their reviews, and why some companies are willing to pay to get good ones. You don’t want biased reviews clouding your judgment, so here are six ways you can spot (and avoid) fake reviews with ease. 1) Check the Name The reviewer’s name can reveal a lot. If it’s more like a screen name than a real person, like Harvey88 rather than Harvey, consider it suspicious. If you happen to notice that the name is also very similar to the name of an important person in the company or to the name of the product itself, beware. 2) Check the Time If you see several good reviews in a row, check their timestamps. If the reviews were written very close together, especially within minutes of each other or in the same hour, they may have been written by the same person. It may also be a sign of fakeness if you see lot of reviews written at...

When you’re constantly on the move and rely on your laptop to perform when you most need it, you need to be sure that your battery won’t suddenly drain on you, leaving you in the lurch. If this sounds like a situation that you frequently find yourself in, perhaps you should look at upgrading to a laptop battery with a longer life. But if that step sounds a bit drastic, there may be a few things that you can do to prolong your battery’s power, when you don’t have access to a mains supply. Turn down the brightness of your screen Most modern laptops allow you to control the brightness of the screen. As you might expect, the brighter the screen, the more power is required. Dim the screen and you could find that your battery lasts a lot longer. Shut down programs that aren’t being used It’s often the case that you’ll have a number of programs running, yet you’re only using one or two of them. Although you might not see them running, they co...

Google Analytics can be one of your best friends when it comes to managing your website and understanding how well your campaigns perform. Most people don’t look further than the number of visitors, traffic sources and bounce rate, but there’s so much more to it – and these four tips can help you leverage this free tool to learn more about the people visiting your website, and to use those insights to improve its performance. 1) Connecting with Google Webmaster Tools For accessing a set of reports under the tab “Search Engine Optimization”, you need to connect your GA with GWT. To do that, go to Traffic sources->Search Engine Optimization->Queries and click on Edit in Webmaster Tools Settings. The new reports you’ll see (Queries, Landing Pages and Geographical Summary) will help you identify things like keywords that provide a good average position but low CTR (changing meta title and description can improve the CTR), landing pages that have...

A team of researchers from MIT introduced a new computer chip optimized for deep-learning, an approach to artificial intelligence that is gaining popularity. The chip, dubbed “Eyeriss” which was introduced two days ago could allow mobile devices to perform tasks like natural language processing and facial recognition without being connected to the internet. It’s the latest attempt to make the complex operations of machine learning more portable. That means that our smartphones, wearables, robots, self-driving cars, and other IoT devices could begin performing complex deep learning processes locally — something that until now has been very difficult to do. Deep learning has traditionally demanded large amounts of computer processing. GPUs, computer chips designed to render the graphics we see on our computer screens, are a good enough workhorse to handle the task. But GPUs come with a drawback: they suck up a ton a power. This makes them impractical to use for de...

If someone has written an unfavorable comment about you and if the content pops up first when people Google search you, you will want to erase it. You may also wish to remove a post that you yourself posted on a website. As is the case with most websites, their terms and conditions deny you the right to edit your content once you post it! Such content can often come up in Google when people search for you. This can severely damage your reputation. However, a fact that you need to understand is that Google is not the source; it merely lets the content be found more easily. Google does not have the original file; it is with the website that has put up the content. So, contacting Google to remove the content will not do anything. So how to delete content once you post them online? Deleting any of your personal uploads like an article, a picture or video, an account, a website, a blog is not always easy, but it CAN be done. To delete content, you have to talk to the webmaster or whoever...

Some of my important emails end up in the Spam folder due to incorrect filtering. So, I occasionally check the Spam folder to see if an email that was not spam ended up there. Today, while checking the Spam folder, I came across an email that was a classic example of a phishing message. Hence, I decided to share it here to point out some common tactics used in such messages. Here is the email (Image at the bottom):- The phishing message. One look at the from address should be enough for anyone to judge that this message is not genuine. Messages from most companies are through a no-reply address. Also, most companies contact you from an  email address that is on their main domain, not some random free email provider. Moreover, almost all email providers use an interstitial page in the situation described in this message. None of them sends an email asking for verification. Another important thing to notice in this message is the Sent to: field. Notice how it mentions undisclosed...

It has happened to most of us. We buy a new hard drive (or maybe a flash drive) with mind boggling storage capacity only to find that it has less space than what was mentioned on the box. Angered, we start cursing the manufacturer and our dealer for false marketing thinking that they should be sued for doing this. Hey, but have you ever wondered how they continue to do this again and again without getting into legal trouble? The answer is that they are not marketing it falsely at all. Surprised? I'll explain. A manufacturer considers 1 Megabyte to be 1000 Kilobytes, 1 Gigabyte to be 1000 Megabytes, 1 Terabyte to be 1000 Gigabytes and so on. This is correct considering that kilo means 1000 and mega means 1000000 (10^6). However, computers calculate on base 2 and to them, 1 MB is actually 1024 kilobytes, 1GB is 1024MB and 1 TB is 1024GB. This difference in the method of computation is responsible for this "missing space." Lets take an example of a 500 GB hard disk. From...

Whether you are dealing with people or machines, viruses can seem like a real threat. Because of that, the antivirus industry, for both people and machines, is big business. Concentrating on antivirus for machines and devices, this week we asked our writers if they found antivirus software useful and how they safeguarded their devices. Our Opinions All in all, our writers mostly agree. No one seems to use it very regularly. Miguel sees antivirus software as “something that gives a slightly false sense of security.” He explains that “viruses have grown in sophistication and are often not easily removed by standard antivirus software.” As for safeguarding, he replied that he does so “with my own prudence.” Vamsi doesn’t use any antivirus on his Windows PC other than the default one that is provided by Microsoft. Yet, he does use Comodo Firewall as “it makes it easy to configure different firewall rules and even alerts me when a program is...

Glo don't want to give up at all... And I'm still waiting for when I'll comfortably buy 3GB for N300 on any network.
