the reason is anti-spyware program automates cleaning and removing spyware, trojan or adware found on the computer which is much easier compared to manually digging through your auto startup locations which is risky if you removed the wrong file. unlike hijackthis, which advance users will agree that it is a very powerful tool but it requires you to have plenty of experience in removing spyware so you can immediately identify the unwanted entries from the log file. if you’re a novice computer user, you might not even understand what is in the hijackthis log file. if you’d like to try out yourself on manually removing spyware from your system, you can start off by using this free tool called freefixer. → continue reading.. 9 comments | email this post | categorized: computer make your computer automatically perform tasks for you posted by raymond on november 11th, 2007 let’s say there is a company that wants to transfer all accounts data from excel to an accounting software. can you imagine reentering the accounts information which is dated back 5 years ago to the software? if the accounting software can’t supporting importing the excel document, then you’re probably going to spend many months re-entering everything to the software. that is a waste of time and it is also boring! what if i tell you that you can automate the copy and pasting data from your excel to the accounting software while you sit back and watch the task being performed on the screen? that’d save you so much time! this is called macro or automation software. a macro is a script containing commands that automate computer tasks. each command performs one step, such as moving the mouse, launching a program or entering keystrokes. anything that you do repetitively on the keyboard or even a sequence that requires just a few steps could be performed automatically to save you time. the possibilities are limitless. i’ve learn about macro software many years ago when i needed to do data input. my boss was so amazed with the short time i used to complete the data input. here are the macro software that i’ve been using. → continue reading.. 18 comments | email this post | categorized: computer collection of extensions to turn firefox into a security platform posted by raymond on november 10th, 2007 we all know that we can do nearly everything with firefox browser. we can check emails, download torrents, upload files to ftp, and the list goes on… did you know that there’s a collection of extensions to turn your firefox browser into a security platform?

after a little searching, i found out from berghausen, a google webmaster central representative that we should consider returning a ‘503 service unavailable’ with a ‘retry-after’ header indicating when we expect our site to be back up. this is a more by-the-books way of explaining that your site is down for maintenance, and you can still send along a page explaining the error. under most situations, googlebot will not index your error page, and will come back looking for updates some time after the date specified in the ‘return-after’ header. → continue reading.. 10 comments | email this post | categorized: computer about recycler and system volume information folder in xp and vista posted by raymond on november 8th, 2007 did you notice that the recycler and system volume information folder will appear at the root of your c: drive once you uncheck “hide protected operating system files” from folder options?
