<p><b>A Simple Way to Make Your PC Fast </b><br /> Slow computers are one of the biggest problems facing computer users today  Not only does a slow computer make you extremely frustrated, but it also prevents you from enjoying your computer and even doing work on it  It&#8217;s a terrible problem which affects millions of machines world wide, but luckily, there&#8217;s a solution  . .You see, almost every slow computer in the world has a simple problem that&#8217;s causing the decline in speed - the registry  The registry is the core database for Windows, and is actually one of the most important parts of your system  It acts like a memory for all your options and settings on your computer, allowing Windows to store everything from your latest emails to your desktop wallpaper in there     and then retrieve it at another time  . .Because the files inside this database are needed so much by Windows, it&#8217;s constantly updating and using them  Each time you use your PC, you can end up having 100&#8217;s of registry files all being processed without you even knowing  This is okay, but the reason why it&#8217;s responsible for slowing your computer down is simple - because Windows is using these files so much, it often gets confused and actually corrupts the same files that it needs  . .When your computer corrupts registry files, it actually makes them harder to read, which in turn makes your computer run slower as it tries to access them  The truth is that one or two of these bad files are okay - they only slow your PC down a little bit - but the real problems start when your PC gets 1,000&#8217;s of these files all slowing it down  When this happens, your PC just gets slower and slower as it collects more corrupt files every day  . .Luckily, to fix this and to make your PC fast, you simply need to fix these corrupt registry files  However, because the registry is such a big database, you need to rely on a special tool to do it for you  These tools are called registry cleaners and are pieces of software which actually scan through the entire registry and check every file  If it then finds a corrupt file, which needs fixing, it will then fix that file or replace it . <br /><i>Source: www.rsstnx.com</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The Key To Computer Security - Anti Virus Software    </b><br />In the computer world today it is important to remember that at every second your computer is at risk of being contaminated with an ugly virus. There are many ways your computer may become infected from e-mail viruses to Trojans. These infections can cause damage to your hard drive, attach themselves to your programs, or can even spread to other peoples computers from your e-mail. It is essential to protect your computer from these invasions by using a good anti-virus software program. There are many different types of infections that can invade your computer some of which include viruses, worms, e-mail viruses, and Trojans. A virus can be transmitted from computer to computer by attaching itself to another program. When the program is running the virus is able to infect other programs or documents. Worms are a computer program that copies itself from computer to computer through the use of computer networks. They are often used to invade security holes in software programs. The latest computer invaders are e-mail viruses. An e-mail virus moves around in your e-mail messages and duplicates as it automatically sends itself to people in your address book, which in turn infects their computers in the same way. A Trojan horse invades your computer by pretending to be a program it?s not. When you open the program, the Trojan wreaks havoc on your computer that can cause irreversible damage. In order to protect yourself from such invasion it is very important to make sure your computer is safe. One thing you can do is to run a more secure operating system like UNIX that can protect your computer from traditional viruses. Another option is to buy virus protection software if you are using an unsecured computer. Avoiding programs from unknown sources, disabling floppy disk booting, and making sure that Macro virus protection is enabled, are also things that can further protect you from invasion. The best option for protecting your computer though, is to invest in an anti-virus program. There are many anti-virus programs like Norton antivirus, McAfee, and PcCillin, and some are even free like Avast and AVG. Anti virus programs work by keeping patterns of virus infected files and compares them to the files stored on your computer. If it finds any viruses you are immediately prompted to delete the contaminated file. Make sure to up-date your anti virus software consistently, which can be done through the Internet and most up-dates are free of cost. If you are going to use the computer it is always best to protect yourself and your precious memories from all the dangerous computer infections. When you invest in a good computer and store your information on it, you are setting yourself up for a potential disaster that many viruses can cause. It is essential that you make sure that your computer is always protected by investing in a good anti virus program. Dave Michaels writes on home and computer subjects.

<p><b>There be Spyware here, Captain!    </b><br />The ships bell had just sounded the dogwatch as Captain Skag began to check his email. He had just began to read his favorite E-zine, &#8220;Pirates gone wild&#8221; when his first mate burst into the cabin. &#8220;Captain, a dark ship approaches!&#8221; He cried. The captain, after running up on deck, examined the ship with his spyglass. &#8220;Shiver me hard drives&#8221; he bellowed as he saw the lay of her jib. &#8220;Shes a wardriver! &#8221; (Note of historical Interest, a Wardriver is a term used to describe a way of searching for unsecure wireless networks.) &#8220;They be after plundering information on the ships server!

Up on deck, the crew watched as the dark ship faded into the night. The Captain had no sooner settled back at his computer when again the cabin door burst open, this time it was the cook. &#8220;Blimey Captain, all my recipes files are gone!&#8221; This was bad news because the cooks famous secret recipe for chile con carne was highly sought after since winning 1st place at the Pirates ball last year. Thank the Kraken we have our backups&#8221; the Captain growled. The cook, cursing, left. Well, back to my email the captain thought. He pushed the send/receive button on his email client. &#8220;Blow me down&#8221; he bellowed, (Pirate Captains bellow a lot) &#8220;Whats all this SPAM mail doing in my inbox?&#8221; This was getting as back as a case of scurvy. As he sat, his rage boiling, he became aware of a lot of yelling coming from the crews quarters. &#8220;Now what&#8221; he cursed as he made his way forward. Upon entering the crew area he was assailed by a thunderous din of curses. (Pirates curse a lot) The Spainiard was yelling he couldn&#8217;t get his new game, &#8220;Pirates Revenge &#8221; to load. The Italian couldn&#8217;t get into his stock portfolio. (Yes pirates have retirement plans too). The others were drowned out by the first mate yelling about his Blog being Hacked. As he surveyed the carnage, the captain noticed one of the crewman sitting calmly, using his laptop with apparently no problems. Bellowing loudly for quiet, he asked the crewman who he now remembered came from the land of Unix, why he was not upset. He looked up, and said &#8220;Why Captain, I&#8217;ve got a AntiVirus program along with good AntiSpyware and a reliable Firewall. I&#8217;m protected from brute force attacks, Phishing emails and drive by downloads.&#8221; He went on to say that it looked like the ships server was accessed through the wireless router, which was not secured with WEP (wired/wireless equivalent privacy). &#8220;Arrrgg&#8221;, he bellowed, the IT dogs back at the Island hideaway had told him all was peachy with the network when they sailed to pilage and plunder.

Billy had his pockets stuffed with pieces of eight and of course, was wearing the Captains hat, looking mighty pleased with his bargaining skills. The Captain headed back to his cabin, worried that mutiny may be afoot. He had heard Billy telling the crew about those cursed Macs!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Start up guide to become an Information security consultant    </b><br />For the sake of efficiency, cost effectiveness and to focus on the core business companies world over are switching to outsourcing of IT security. It makes eminent sense too as the information security consultants are the experts of their domain and hiring them is much more economical option than maintaining a whole army of in-house IT security experts.  This cost and efficiency factors combined with the ever growing threat from hackers and exploding online shopping and e-commerce market has made sure that more and more companies are looking for information security consultants to take care of their IT security concerns.   All these factors have made the career of information security consultants quite promising. But before you get ready to jump on the bandwagon, wait and contemplate as to why a company would go for outside IT security experts. This would help you understand the industry better.  Basically there are following three reasons which make a company go for outsourcing.  7. The required services are not available in-house and getting expensive new employees is costly and time consuming option. 8. Company is facing a tight deadline to finish a highly technical project and it is not possible to hire, train new employees and expect the project to be finished in time. 9. Companies need an independent and objective perspective which is not mired in the corporate politics and infrastructure. When you are clear about these basics you can start the process of being a successful information security consultant which is as following.   Go wholeheartedly &mdash; There are no half measures when it comes to making a career. And certainly not when you are entering a field as fluid as IT security. The job outlook and growth is better than average and there are training programs and schools which offer specific curriculum, certificates and degrees in computer security.  Do proper Research &mdash; Since this field is relatively new, the programs are new and not yet established. So go for a recognized and reputable institute which offers all encompassing curriculum in information technology (IT), consisting of but not limited to penetration testing, systems analysis, computer information systems, programming and networking.  Steer clear of frauds &mdash; As with any growing field, IT security education field is replete with fly-by-night operators which are there just to make money and offer illegitimate courses which are not recognized and can&#8217;t get you a job after graduation.  Don&#8217;t be limited to just curriculum &mdash; As extensive the curriculum might be, there is always space for more. So don&#8217;t just be limited to the courseware and keep on adding to your knowledge of vulnerability analysis, firewall management, virus protection, network and software safety, IT forensics etc.  Add to you certifications &mdash; After or during your graduation you can opt for industry recognized certification such as &#8220;Cisco&#8221; Network Security certification, those offered by Microsoft etc. They will add value to your knowledge and empower your resume.  Gain experience &mdash; Once you have graduated you should get industry exposure through school-sponsored IT internships and with entry-level IT jobs. They will help you understand the IT security threats in real time practical environment.Nirmalya Jain is an &lt;a href= http://www.appinlabs.com/iso-27001.php&gt; Information security management system &lt;/a&gt; and specializes in &lt;a href= http://www.appinlabs.com/ethical-hacking.php&gt; penetration testing&lt;/a&gt;, systems analysis etc. She is also an amateur writer and her write ups on IT security have been well received.     <br /><i>Source: www.ArticlePros.com</i></p>

<p><b>Autoblogger Pro, Content Theft Or Innovation?    </b><br />First of all, there may be some of you that have never even heard of Autoblogger Pro. So let?s examine this new script. Autoblogger Pro is really a very simple concept. It integrates itself into a Wordpress blog and then uses RSS feeds from news sources and blogs to populate the blog with relevant content. For example, if you want to build a blog that focuses on ?Mortgages? then you would simply locate several blog or news feeds that focus on mortgages and then load them into the admin area of the script. Every time the script is executed it will then pull in the RSS feed from all of the sites you?ve entered, and post them to the blog. In essence, you end up with a blog that contains highly targeted content, blended and unique because it comes from a variety of sources. All maintained by you with the click of a button! (A sample ABP blog can be seen here: http://www.dogs.pn ) Let me say this now. I am an advocate of Autoblogger Pro and I think that it?s a fantastic and logical development of the expected use of RSS feeds. It?s evolution people, and I think it?s fantastic! But this morning I was surfing the web and I happened to do a search for Autoblogger Pro to see what other people were saying. To my shock and dismay I found many sites screaming that Autoblogger Pro users are ?content thieves? , ?content RAPISTS?, ?Scam artists? etc. I found this very disturbing, so I researched a few of their websites to see if their content was in some way being actually stolen. To be honest, I really had to laugh when I looked at most of their sites. Prominently displayed on all of them were buttons for their various RSS feeds, asking for syndication! What exactly did you expect when you put that feed on your site? RSS is defined as Really Simple Syndication. So aren?t you asking that your content be syndicated when you put the feed link on your website??? Of course you are. Either they are too uneducated to understand what RSS is and put it on their sites without knowing what it is, or they are just ignorant or na    and believe that only a few people with news readers will use the feed. There?s a very simple solution for this if you?re one of those people crying foul. TAKE THE FEED DOWN. If you don?t want your content syndicated, don?t put up a feed! Now there are some responsibilities that must be held by users of Autoblogger Pro, it?s a very powerful script, and there are options to use it unethically. When syndicating someone?s content you need to give CREDIT to the source. Remember writing term papers in college or high school? You always have to give credit to your sources. Autoblogger Pro gives you the option in it?s configuration to give credit and a link back to every post you get from syndication. USE THIS FEATURE. It?s only right to give credit where credit is due. If this is done properly, all of those blogs you?re getting your content from will stay happy, because they are in turn getting quality links back to their site, from another relevant site, and that in turn helps them in their search engine standings. It may even send them some traffic if your Autoblogger Pro site has some. Like it or not, syndication of content is what RSS was designed for. If you don?t like how your content is being syndicated, don?t put up a feed. But if you see the positives for content syndication you?ll understand that Autoblogger Pro sites will enhance your site, not detract from it. In the long run you?ll be glad to see your content in tons of places on the web!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Spyware Removal    </b><br />You may have purchased a state-of-the-art computer, yet it is running so slowly that you have to pick up something to read while you wait for it to connect to the internet. You might need spyware removal for your PC, which is probably being tampered with by an outside source. Other problems, such as frequent error messages and security threats are caused by spyware, and spyware removal is essential to prevent the following: ? data mining ? aggressive advertising ? Trojan horses ? Browser hijackers ? Tracking components ? mouse monitors and similar intrusions. As more unscrupulous web savvy hackers are creating new ways to get access to your valuable personal information, Spyware removal is fast becoming an essential program for every PC. When you search the web, you not only find information, but you also leave a lot of data behind. Your computer can leave &#8220;footprints&#8221; of information as you surf, and can bring spyware back with it, like tracking sand into a home. Spyware removal can detect these parasitic devices placed on your PC that monitors your browsing habits so you can later get spammed by aggressive advertisers. Spyware also retrives sensitive information, such as your credit card number. Increasing security problems, theft and fraud are causing companies to do more research and to update their spyware removal capabilities. When choosing a spyware removal program, it is highly suggested to opt for a brand that is well known and has been on the market for some time. Some supposed spyware removal programs have proven to be false, and like the spyware they are supposed to be removing, they scan your disks in order to find sensitive information that can be used or sold. It is for this reason that some suggest using spyware removal that does not scan your disks. Other experts might object that a spyware removal program that does not scan your disk can not be guaranteed to remove all of your spyware, whereas others tout certain programs that are able to give maximum protection without scanning your computer disks. In addition to scanning your disks, many spyware removal programs also search your removable drives and your memory for traces of malware and spyware. Spyware removal works using Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology and has an extensive spyware removal support system. Once your PC has been scanned, your spyware removal program logs the results of the scan showing which places contain spyware or other problems. It also removes any behavior tracking devices and prevents others from stealing your bandwith. Most spyware removal programs can also prevent keyloggers which take password and credit card information. In addition to installing spyware removal on your regular PC, you can also find spyware removal programs suited for the corporate environment. These programs work with multiple computers in a network, and work much like spyware removal for a PC, but on a larger scale. For most businesses, it is worthwhile to invest in the best spyware removal you can obtain, since, for commercial reasons, you are likely to be dealing with sensitive information for all of your customers. Don&#8217;t let spyware point the finger at your company when your customer&#8217;s credit card number is stolen. Many spyware removal programs can be obtained as free downloads for a limited period of time. These programs will do an initial scan at no cost and will continue to protect your PC if you purchase the spyware removal program. You can purchase sypware removal that can build an instant defense if there is some material that it cannot yet recognize. It is also a good idea to get spyware removal that does not eliminate anything without asking your permission first. For extra security, some spyware removal programs do not access any of your private information on your hard drive and do not connect to the net. If you trust your spyware company, you need not be afraid of a scan, but ensure that the company is a legitimate one before purchasing their spyware.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Incomplete Man Without Computer Softwares </b><br /> When talking about the computers, you also talk about the computer softwares and then also having a big question mark that what is computer software? So the word computer software describes the different programs that are used to run a computer in a well organized and easy way  It performs many creative and helpful tasks and help in the everyday running of the computer hardware  And it is the basic component that allows the human being to interact with the computer and perform their different tasks  . .The era&#8217;s of the computers is marked as the beginning of the 1990&#8217;s  Everywhere we look around we see the computers here and there  If the development of the computer comes to end, it would be a great disaster for this world  These computers are the very vital part of the game of the world being played  And to run these computers, computer softwares are really important that should be well structured, organized and according to the demands of the users  . . .Now the computer software industry dominates the world every field industry or it would be fairer to say that each industry is complete without the computer industry  It&#8217;s because computer has become the crucial part of the humans&#8217; life  . .Different organizations are working to develop new softwares of computers that would make the lives of the professional much easier  They would also help them to save their money, time and resources  In the past 5 years, much of the most ongoing and the most demanding computer softwares have been introduced that includes: . . -  Medical software .Used in the medical field to have a complete systemized data by the doctors of their patients, medicines and records  . -  Bandwidth software .It helps to fix the band width for the internet users being available to them in a particular time period  . -  Hotspot software .It enables the different gaming zones and the internet clubs to provide the required services being demanded by their consumers  . -  Internet cafe software .Makes the local people and all individuals to have the use of internet and also have entertainment along with the work  . -  Cyber cafe software .Helps to maintain and provide proper services of the internet usage  . -  Printing software .It had made the printing jobs much easier and comfortable for all sorts of organizations  . .These all softwares are used by all the present organizations through out the globe and make them interlinked with each other  These softwares are reliable way to automatically synchronize and back up your important files  Every business that is started today first organizes and buys the best computer softwares that are demanded by it  . .These computer softwares will help the dreams of all working people and the business man to come true  It would make their businesses cost effectual  It would also create the good and friendly consumer-producer relations  With the use of this software the large organizations don&#8217;t only make their customers happy but also make all of their stakeholders happy . <br /><i>Source: www.rsstnx.com</i></p>
<p><b>Satellite TV on Your Computer?    </b><br />Now that the web has evolved why should we pay monthly for a couple of hundred channels when we are now able to get 3000 + channels streamed live to your pc? So how good is internet TV? The smile answer to this question is - very good. I personally only found out about how much internet TV had to offer when I was recently looking for a John Candy movie. I only pay for basic subscription from my cable service and feel they charge far too much to get all their movie channels, most of the same content can be found via internet TV channels. As channels come from all over the world and more and more people migrating to the US from Mexico, to the UK from Poland etc.,TV on your PC enables you to watch TV in your own language anywhere. Sports channels from all over the globe are also shown. So, does this mark the end of Sky and cable? Not likely. Maybe in another 20 years there may be a decline as the technology becomes more widespread. The bottom line is that TV of your PC has so much more to offer, TV, music, MP3 downloads and more, all from over 77 countries! Rupert Murdoch may have his work cut out to stay ahead because in may option the internet is taking over world wide media. For example yesterday I was able to watch Aljazeera TV from Iran which shows the Iraq war live. I&#8217;ve recently been learning my children Spanish so now I let them watch children&#8217;s TV in Spanish! - a great learning tool. The software I downloaded only cost me a one time fee, I&#8217;ve even put it on my partners laptop, as you can probably guess we are both very impressed. The link to the site I downloaded the software from is www.worldwide-satellitetv.com 3000 TV Channels on Your PC &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.worldwide-satellitetv.com&#34;&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt;    <br /><i>Source: www.ArticlePros.com</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Start up guide to become an Information security consultant    </b><br />For the sake of efficiency, cost effectiveness and to focus on the core business companies world over are switching to outsourcing of IT security. It makes eminent sense too as the information security consultants are the experts of their domain and hiring them is much more economical option than maintaining a whole army of in-house IT security experts.  This cost and efficiency factors combined with the ever growing threat from hackers and exploding online shopping and e-commerce market has made sure that more and more companies are looking for information security consultants to take care of their IT security concerns.   All these factors have made the career of information security consultants quite promising. But before you get ready to jump on the bandwagon, wait and contemplate as to why a company would go for outside IT security experts. This would help you understand the industry better.  Basically there are following three reasons which make a company go for outsourcing.  7. The required services are not available in-house and getting expensive new employees is costly and time consuming option. 8. Company is facing a tight deadline to finish a highly technical project and it is not possible to hire, train new employees and expect the project to be finished in time. 9. Companies need an independent and objective perspective which is not mired in the corporate politics and infrastructure. When you are clear about these basics you can start the process of being a successful information security consultant which is as following.   Go wholeheartedly &mdash; There are no half measures when it comes to making a career. And certainly not when you are entering a field as fluid as IT security. The job outlook and growth is better than average and there are training programs and schools which offer specific curriculum, certificates and degrees in computer security.  Do proper Research &mdash; Since this field is relatively new, the programs are new and not yet established. So go for a recognized and reputable institute which offers all encompassing curriculum in information technology (IT), consisting of but not limited to penetration testing, systems analysis, computer information systems, programming and networking.  Steer clear of frauds &mdash; As with any growing field, IT security education field is replete with fly-by-night operators which are there just to make money and offer illegitimate courses which are not recognized and can&#8217;t get you a job after graduation.  Don&#8217;t be limited to just curriculum &mdash; As extensive the curriculum might be, there is always space for more. So don&#8217;t just be limited to the courseware and keep on adding to your knowledge of vulnerability analysis, firewall management, virus protection, network and software safety, IT forensics etc.  Add to you certifications &mdash; After or during your graduation you can opt for industry recognized certification such as &#8220;Cisco&#8221; Network Security certification, those offered by Microsoft etc. They will add value to your knowledge and empower your resume.  Gain experience &mdash; Once you have graduated you should get industry exposure through school-sponsored IT internships and with entry-level IT jobs. They will help you understand the IT security threats in real time practical environment.Nirmalya Jain is an &lt;a href= http://www.appinlabs.com/iso-27001.php&gt; Information security management system &lt;/a&gt; and specializes in &lt;a href= http://www.appinlabs.com/ethical-hacking.php&gt; penetration testing&lt;/a&gt;, systems analysis etc. She is also an amateur writer and her write ups on IT security have been well received.     <br /><i>Source: www.ArticlePros.com</i></p>
<p><b>The Key To Computer Security - Anti Virus Software    </b><br />In the computer world today it is important to remember that at every second your computer is at risk of being contaminated with an ugly virus. There are many ways your computer may become infected from e-mail viruses to Trojans. These infections can cause damage to your hard drive, attach themselves to your programs, or can even spread to other peoples computers from your e-mail. It is essential to protect your computer from these invasions by using a good anti-virus software program. There are many different types of infections that can invade your computer some of which include viruses, worms, e-mail viruses, and Trojans. A virus can be transmitted from computer to computer by attaching itself to another program. When the program is running the virus is able to infect other programs or documents. Worms are a computer program that copies itself from computer to computer through the use of computer networks. They are often used to invade security holes in software programs. The latest computer invaders are e-mail viruses. An e-mail virus moves around in your e-mail messages and duplicates as it automatically sends itself to people in your address book, which in turn infects their computers in the same way. A Trojan horse invades your computer by pretending to be a program it?s not. When you open the program, the Trojan wreaks havoc on your computer that can cause irreversible damage. In order to protect yourself from such invasion it is very important to make sure your computer is safe. One thing you can do is to run a more secure operating system like UNIX that can protect your computer from traditional viruses. Another option is to buy virus protection software if you are using an unsecured computer. Avoiding programs from unknown sources, disabling floppy disk booting, and making sure that Macro virus protection is enabled, are also things that can further protect you from invasion. The best option for protecting your computer though, is to invest in an anti-virus program. There are many anti-virus programs like Norton antivirus, McAfee, and PcCillin, and some are even free like Avast and AVG. Anti virus programs work by keeping patterns of virus infected files and compares them to the files stored on your computer. If it finds any viruses you are immediately prompted to delete the contaminated file. Make sure to up-date your anti virus software consistently, which can be done through the Internet and most up-dates are free of cost. If you are going to use the computer it is always best to protect yourself and your precious memories from all the dangerous computer infections. When you invest in a good computer and store your information on it, you are setting yourself up for a potential disaster that many viruses can cause. It is essential that you make sure that your computer is always protected by investing in a good anti virus program. Dave Michaels writes on home and computer subjects.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>FTP Servers and Security - Three methods that Secure FTP Servers use    </b><br />FTP (File Transfer Protocol) has been the basis for file transfer since the dawn of the internet. The truly remarkable feature about FTP was that it was operating system independent. Files could be smoothly transferred between Unix, Windows and any other operating system. The other cool feature about FTP was that a simple validation mechanism consisting of a username and a password could be used to limit access to files. However, the actual data itself was transferred unencrypted and it was easy to intercept and listen in on an FTP connection.  The internet itself had very minimal security built into it. Consisting of many smaller independent networks that stretched across the globe, the path that a data packet took to get from point A to point B was unpredictable. With the popularity of the internet, it became essential to be able to transmit many types of critical data with some amount of security. Netscape Communications solved the security problem on the internet by developing the Secure Sockets Layer Protocol (SSL) which used public key cryptography to encrypt data transmitted over the internet. This is still the widely accepted security mechanism and is implemented by all web browsers.  FTPS Secure File Transfer Modifications to the FTP protocol were proposed to incorporate the use of SSL for encrypting file transfers over the internet. The modified mechanism is referred to as FTPS. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with the original file transfer protocol, an FTPS connection could either be explicit, where the connection between the client connection and the server starts out as regular FTP and then negotiates a secure connection, or implicit where the connection starts out being encrypted.  HTTPS Secure File Transfer Since a web browser is already capable of public key cryptography, simple downloads and uploads can be performed directly through a web browser using the HTTPS protocol. This means that special FTP Client software is not required.  SFTP Secure File Transfer The Secure Shell protocol also known as SSH was developed by Tatu Ylonen to enable secure access to remote shells using public key cryptography and replace Telnet and other non secure shells. This protocol has since evolved to also support a file transfer mechanism known as SFTP. The main advantage of this mechanism is that it did not require the opening of an additional data channel connection for transferring files.  All of these three methods of secure file transfer are based on public key cryptography and all of them are equally capable of securing the transfer of critical files across the internet. The only drawback of these methods is that there is a data overhead associated with encrypting files. There is also a performance overhead associated with encrypting the files at the source and decrypting them at the destination. Because of this, system administrators sometimes use regular FTP for file transfers within a secured internal network. However, for transferring files over the internet, this is a small price to pay in exchange for the guarantee that sensitive files reach their destination without being intercepted or tampered with.Okay, you now know about the three types of secure ftp servers. If you are looking for a secure FTP server to run on your windows system that can support all three secure file transfer mechanisms, be sure to visit &lt;a href =&#34;http://www.sysax.com/&#34;&gt;http://www.sysax.com/&lt;/a&gt; and download &lt;a href =&#34;http://www.sysax.com/download.htm?c=48#sysaxserv&#34;&gt;Sysax FTP Server&lt;/a&gt;    <br /><i>Source: www.ArticlePros.com</i></p>
<p><b>Why Pay When You Can Get Free Anti Virus?    </b><br />I?m sure you have heard this from a friend before, even some of your computer literate friends; but what I want to warn you of is that this is a dangerous question to be asking. You for sure know about viruses and that anyone today is vulnerable to them if they haven?t taken appropriate efforts to protect themselves, but other than that (if you are like most people you don?t really know what is out there (lots more than just viruses) and how to really protect yourself properly. In the next few paragraphs I want to tell you some critical information to save you lots of time and money and tears. So viruses are, just like their biological counterpart, parasites in that they use a host to exist and more importantly to replicate. A virus is made up of computer code that is written in such a way as to insert itself into existing code of (most often) an executable file that already exists on the host computer. It uses the internet mostly to travel but can and has been transferred by removable forms of media like floppy disks, smart cards, etc. Like viruses, worms use the computer as a host, but only in order to use the hardware, as they do not need the host computers software to replicate. Trojan Horses are another example of malicious software or malware that use techniques that evade the natural and built up defenses on a computer. The point is that there is more than just viruses that you need protection from and not all anti virus software (especially free anti virus software) provide the comprehensive coverage that you need. The sad thing about free anti virus software is that it lulls computer users into complacency and they end up as bad or worse off than when they were virus free. The companies that offer these freebies are doing it more or less as an advertising ploy, bringing more traffic to their sales page. Now there is a caveat to this that I would like to explain and that is that free anti virus software is better than having nothing at all. So, if you are too poor to purchase your own security software package than by all means get it on your computer. However I seriously doubt that if you are able to purchase a computer you would not also be able to get anti virus protection. Consider it nothing more than a necessary maintenance cost, kind of like putting oil in your car every once in a while. Trenton Martkes has been helping average PC users get to know their machines and how to protect them. He is the voice of reason for many the computer illiterate user.

<p><b>How Fixing Broken Windows Can Decrease Click Fraud    </b><br />There is a theory in law enforcement that goes something like this: If someone breaks a window in a building, and it isn&#8217;t fixed quickly, others will soon be broken. As the evidence of neglect builds, vandals will be more emboldened to break into the building and commit more vandalism and eventually destroy it completely. If, on the other hand, that window is promptly fixed, it discourages further crime because it is clear that someone is watching the store. Further, if instead of just fixing the window, you find the vandal and hold them accountable for it, a message goes out loud and clear: we&#8217;re watching and you will get caught. The problem with the broken windows theory is that it requires more than police action to put into practice. If the community isn&#8217;t involved in the cleanup effort, the initiative fails. When the community is drawn in to help police the problems, to report them and to &#8216;mind the store&#8217;, so to speak, crime rates drop. This theory can be extended to police nearly any venue where there is unacceptable behavior - including the problem of click fraud in the venue of PPC advertising. At the moment, the PPC industry is like a vacant building with nobody watching the store. It&#8217;s easy to enter fraudulent clicks. It&#8217;s even easier to get away with it. At the moment, a large percentage of advertisers leave the detection of fraudulent clicks up to the PPC provider - and the policy of most PPC providers is that they will provide refunds for proven click fraud upon request from the advertiser. What happens when: - The PPC provider&#8217;s software detection methods don&#8217;t catch the click fraud? - The advertiser doesn&#8217;t use fraud detection software? - The advertiser can&#8217;t back up the claim of click fraud? - The major players in the industry refer to the problem as &#8216;negligible&#8217;? Simply put - the click fraudster gets away with it. The rewards are enormous - estimates put the amount of money lost to click fraud in the range of billions of dollars annually. But the loss to any individual advertiser is usually negligible, and even Google sees refunding money to advertisers as no more than the cost of doing business. If we&#8217;re ever going to put a dent in click fraud, three things have to happen. 1. Advertisers have to take responsibility for monitoring their own campaigns. If you don&#8217;t know it&#8217;s happening, you can&#8217;t take steps to stop it. 2. Advertisers need to use the information they generate through their analytics to demand refunds from the PPC companies on a consistent basis. As long as the losses are minor compared to the profits for the PPC companies, their incentive for responding is limited. 3. Click fraud perpetrators have to be identified, actively pursued and penalized. Currently, modern techniques that use proxies and &#8216;zombie networks&#8217; can make it almost impossible to identify and punish offenders. Those are the three elements of the Broken Window theory that make it work - community action, official backing and action and penalizing perpetrators. The first element in combating click fraud as a community is in getting click fraud prevention and tracking software into the hands of all advertisers. The difficulty of sifting through hundreds of pages of data to make comparisons and weed out patterns that signal click fraud is a daunting one for most companies. Click fraud detection software makes it almost painless - but can be expensive. Other parts of the internet market have benefited from open sourcing of software to manage content, manipulate graphics, and create communities and process payments. An open offering of free click fraud prevention software will encourage advertisers to start monitoring their own logs and records and identify potential fraudulent clicks. In addition, an open offering encourages others to modify and extend the software and make those extensions available to the community at large. With those monitors in place, the second part of the equation becomes more possible. When it&#8217;s easy for advertisers to identify and document fraudulent clicks on their campaigns, it becomes that much easier for them to demand refunds for those clicks. The third part is an outgrowth of creating a community that actively works to eliminate click fraud. For the time being, click fraudsters are loose in a neighborhood of broken windows. With the right tools, we can begin to repair the windows and create a community that makes it nearly impossible to get away with their tactics. Jay Stockwell has been fighting click fraud since 1999. In 2004 he developed the first version of Click Sentinel which was released 6 months later to critical acclaim. His release of &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.clicksentinel.com&#34;&gt;Click Sentinel&lt;/a&gt; (Version 2) redefines how click fraud should be addressed.    <br /><i>Source: www.ArticlePros.com</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Let Your Drawing Respond Faster in ZWCAD    </b><br />Processing speed of CAD software is one of the most concerned issues of every user. Fast speed can be achieved directly by either software or hardware upgrade. In case of ordinary PC configuration, how can we further raise the speed even without software update? Here are some tips:  1. If you frequently specify the color or linetype for certain entities instead of using Bylayer or Byblock features, data will increase dramatically in the drawing, and it will take more time to process these data. It is suggested to create adequate and appropriate layers to which entities of different meanings or properties can be assigned respectively, so that the option of Bylayer and Byblock can help to reduce the amount of data stored.  2. If there are lots of layers in a drawing, some of which contain complicated entities seldom used, then you can freeze these layers, so that they would not regenerate with other layers, and result in processing time saving.  3. Hatch (Fill) is a kind of entity occupying much RAM. Too much hatches would significantly drag down the processing speed. To maintain high speed:  (1) Do the hatching at the last step, so that there are no hatches affecting the speed during previous drafting steps. (2) Assign all hatches to a single or some specific layers and freeze some or all of them if possible. Then they will not regenerate with other entities. (3) In the Config dialogue box, select the Display tab and check the option Not display hatch while zooming.  Entities such as Solid, Donut and Trace have another kind of fill. They can be displayed faster by setting OFF for FILLMODE.  4. Text also has influence on the speed of ZOOM, REDRAW and REGEN. Simplifying the display mode of text could help to increase the speed to a large extent. (1) Use a simple text font during the preliminary drafting work, and then replace this font with desired ones at the final stage when there are no more modifications to other graphic entities. (2) Use QTEXT to enable quick display of text. After the command is activated, boundary frames of text areas are displayed instead of text themselves.  5. In the case that we have to insert raster images: (1) Go to the Config dialogue box, select the Display tab and check the option Pan and zoom with raster &#038; OLE, if it is not necessary to view raster images while doing PAN and ZOOM. (2) Use the command IMAGEQUALITY to choose a low quality display mode, when we don&#8217;t need to view images with high quality.  6. When REGENMODE is set as ON, ZWCAD will regenerate graphics automatically after executing some commands. Turning the mode off can help to save the time spent on automatic regeneration of graphics.  7. Entities often turn into dash line type for the purpose of highlighting when they are selected for modification. Sometimes such highlights take lots of time to display. So you can think of closing HIGHLIGHT if necessary.  Not all methods might suit each specific case, but they do help if applied properly. When you get familiar with these features, drafting work could never be a difficulty in terms of speed, and you may find it easy and convenient to use ZWCAD in any situations.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Computer Backup    </b><br />It&#8217;s happened to most of us; we&#8217;ve lost a document or a folder because there was no computer backup. Whether you lost a few lines you were typing because of power failure or your entire system crashed, computer backup is the only way to prevent such mishaps from destroying your files. Computer backup can be basic or sophisticated, costly or simply the price of your average floppy disk. Depending on your needs and the importance of your files, you will need a computer backup system that reflects your budget and your lifestyle. Many computer users prefer to keep it simple and back up their data with a floppy disk or by copying and pasting documents. This is the most basic form of computer backup, but it is not satisfactory for everyone. Floppy disks often wear out, and you can have files stored on floppy disks for years that might be not perform if they are stored on old disks. On the other hand, if you use your files quite frequently, your floppy disk could wear out, which creates another problem for your floppy disk storage. If you simply store your document elsewhere on your computer, it might not survive a complete computer crash, although minor annoyances should not interfere with your files. Because of problems with viruses, computer crashes are becoming a more frequent occurrence for many PC users, and therefore, computer backup software is the best option for many consumers. There are many files that are worth the time and investment involved in obtaining good computer backup software. Examples of such files are: ? Bank records ? Personal documents ? Digital photos ? Address books ? Software downloads ? Special projects The best computer backup software not only creates a copy of your documents automatically, but it uses encryption algorithms to protect your information from unauthorized access and spyware. Your filename will also be encrypted to protect against intrusions. Most computer backup software is quite user friendly, and new files can be added instantly at the click of a mouse. In addition to many great features, most computer backup software will enable you to: ? Create new backup programs ? Select files and folders for backup ? Define compression settings ? Choose target of backup ? Store backup info in various locations The best computer backup programs are not rigid, but allow the user the flexibility to choose where and how their files will be stored. You can choose to have everything copied automatically, or specify which files you wish to have a backup. If you have a large volume of material to store, you can select compression settings, which will minimize the size of your documents and will enable you to store more information. You can also choose where you want your backup information to be stored, and you can place the data in various locations automatically, for instance, in your hard drive, USB stick, Network folder, CD, DVD and Remote FTP Server. You can also create a simultaneous backup communication between a remote FTP server and local storage devices. Your computer backup software should provide easy user interface, the option to store your data in multiple versions and the capability to restore your files to their original folders. Most programs have a very easy to use help menu, and many have service lines to help customers who wish to communicate with an assistant. You can also obtain special features for your computer backup software, such as a disaster recovery CD or DVD, which will get your computer back up and running after a crash. You can have peer to peer backups for extra protection and virus scanning capabilities that will safeguard your valuable files against tampering. Computer backup software varies in prices, and it is worthwhile to invest in the best program you can afford, especially if your business depends on valuable files. Don&#8217;t let an unexpected computer crash destroy your valuable data, but invest in computer backup software today.

<p><b>Gain (Gator) ? The Virus    </b><br />It just amazes me how there are companies out there, claiming to be legitimate businesses, who are distributing what can only be known as spyware, adware, malware, badware, and viruses. These companies get away with it due to obscure clauses and legal double-speak in their terms of agreements, if they bother to have one at all. Some websites will download unwanted spyware and badware on your computer without any consent from you at all. They claim that all of this information gathering has a legitimate purpose and that people are over-reacting. Some people do not know what a virus is. It is simply a program. Just like any other program you download and use everyday. It must be installed onto your computer. The difference between a virus and a legitimate program lies in the purpose for which it was created. A legitimate program was created to help you perform a task. A virus was created to harm your computer or steal information from you. The other difference is the first one is legal, the latter is not. A virus is legitimately defined as an executable program, however, any script or macro should be included in that definition in my opinion. If they are written with the intent of causing harm to a user?s computer or they are written and installed on a user?s computer in order to gather information on that user, then they are no better and no different than a virus, and should fall under the same laws that apply to viruses. If these programs like GAIN, Gator, and WinFixer are so legitimate, why are the techniques they use to install it on a user?s computer so sly? Why are they using these sneaky tactics, such as downloading it onto someone?s computer without disclosing what it actually is to the user in a clear manner? Why do they write their malware, badware, and adware in such a way as to have it resist your efforts to remove it from your computer? Your computer is something you bought and paid for. You have the right to decide what will be installed on your computer. Anyone who writes a program that resists your ability to choose to remove it is a violation of your rights. Our elected officials don?t know how to surf the web for the most part, let alone actually understand what the definition of a virus is and how to legislate against spyware and malware. Software companies who write legitimate programs lobby them to make sure they do not pass any laws that regulate the sale of software. Example: Name any other product or service where you must pay up front for it before you even see the contract you must sign and agree to before you can use it? Not only that, but large corporations support the use of malware, adware, spyware, badware, and viruses that gather information from users without their knowledge. They in turn buy that information to build their own consumer databases and use that information to sell you products. They pay to know what your habits are. As long as they are willing to pay for that information, companies like GAIN will continue to steal it from user?s and sell it to these companies. If you want to know how many programs on your computer are gathering information about you, you will need to get some type of spyware detection software. There are several available, however, be careful, some of those advertising the removal of spyware are actually installing it on your computer themselves. Make sure you do a search in your favorite search engine to find out about the brand of software you are thinking of downloading. If your computer is infected with Gator or GAIN, you may have to use anti-virus software to remove it. Many of the anti-virus companies have removal instructions on their website. If GAIN were a legitimate company and legitimate software, it?s highly doubtful it would have to be removed by an anti-virus program. I hope this article has been helpful to you. GAIN, WinFixer, and other programs that act in this unethical manner should be considered viruses and held accountable for the harm they do to your computer and liable for the time it takes to remove them. That?s my opinion. D.
