Registry cleaning unlocked!!

The registry is the one which holds the links reference and settings to the programs and files if you manipulate these values you manipulate the system behavior.
why do we need book keeping??Your bank account details, license, degree certificates,what are they??
Registry is the register book of computing system but its functionality is bit more stretched. registry also includes the settings of the system behavior in the same book..Ok jargons apart.
Registry cleaner and Registry seeker are the two good registry fixers that i have come across both are good in their own ways.
Registry cleaner requires more human intervention but lay out is simple the other one has many options and automatically fixes the registry.Time to time cleaning of registry is required to avoid system clutter.


This is the user interface of Registry cleaner. you have to pick the suspicious entries by yourself . it comes handy when cleaning is not done with the other softwares



Registry seeker is automatic fixer no need of human intervention.but that option is also available along with the other useful tools like tweaker and uninstall list remover.If you feel you have done a mistake by casually removing everything in your sight, don't worry.. you can retrieve the same from the backup section and restore it

The bugs which gave me sleepless nights

A slippery virus.But don't know where to start or what to do??
If you are not in a situation to re install the windows the route is bit complex.Some viruses make the system slow dampening your progress.In this situation scanning with antivirus is impractical..most of them end up in full C drive formating after giving huge efforts.stop cutting the tree with blunt axe take a different route. sharpening it will save a lot of time and energy.
Take a different approach try to find out which particular process is creating the problem.processes can be opened by giving alt+ctrl+del.. together..the first tab is applications and the second one processes..go through the list and target the exe's with strange name try end tasking it(some of them will be sytem critical processes)..now see whether the problem has gone or not.
end task all the unwanted processes until your problem is fixed.. don't stop with that.. after restart the problems will be back again.. you need a specialist to clean up the mess called "hijack this"
.scan with that you ll get the names of the culprits creating problems..but be careful about what your doing don't remove all of them from the list as most of them are programs or useful system processes...


How to know which one is good and which one is bad?? if you know the programs installed in your sytem and if you know the name of common system processes -the job is easy.
If no critical data's or programs are there in the system its better to go for new windows installation scanning and hunting will only consume more time in some cases.

Download Hijack This





Jeefo never stops irritating

Its one of its kind which behaves like a true biological virus it spreads like a cancer drive to drive, system to system, network to network but never stops.I slogged one week for this virus. tried scanning with updated NAV but in vain..Then i got the technician for jeefo..
At the end of the day I badly wanted to see jeefo in blood bath Jeefo fix tool did just that.


killer... The Time killer

system slowing down and system crashing was the symptoms. tried end tasking tried scanning with hijack this and tried several other things until rounding into one conclusion ..this one also need a specialist.
fix is a two small bat files.

1.bat
2.bat



scan with 1.bat restart the system in "safe mode with command prompt" (keep pressing F8 to get the booting options list) the program will guide you with commands which you have to give while fixing..


Brontok the dirty

another one which likes to slow down system and the network speed. a green web page will pop from nowhere if you have this in your system. Not an easy one remove.
again you need a special scanner for this..

Download Brontok fix



These are the main ones which troubled my system.To keep your system clean and good you need a good registry cleaner registry cleaning means removing unwanted references to the programs or files.registry is for the book keeping of a system.Its full of links, references, settings
changing these values directly can seriously damage a system.registry cleaner can also be used to remove references to virus or Trojan which means you can literally alienate the virus,will be like a lost raft in the ocean without knowing the direction to the land.more will be covered regarding this in the next post

Viruses and Trojans eating your brain??

what will you commonly do when your PC gets infected. scan with norton antivirus??its ok if you can update nav twice a week and its ok if the PC slow downs and long booting time doesn't matters to you.but it matters to me.. i cant go for weekly updation and i wont tolerate long booting time ..i wont.. The solution I implemented is to completely uninstall nav and put the softwares which specializes in particular departments.The result- squeaky clean system..

A-squared the Trojan hunter..
This software is not for viruses .This one specializes in Trojan hunting. It has three modes of scan ..quick scan, smart scan, deep scan..



quick scan fixes running invisible process while smart scan wont take much time for scanning and scans only important folders.deep scan is for complete system scan.it catches almost all the Trojans but for spywares you need the other expert.

Spying malwares beware..

Spybot SD is a master in catching spywares. It is like an old war horse... looks quite old fashioned but its powerful..




It has plenty of options including registry backup.. click 'check for problem button' and you will discover new infections that was been hiding all these days. but its online protector teatimer is poor performer. If you want to firewall your system its better to go for the best

Download Spybot SD




The Big Fortified Wall

Zone alarm know all the trades in firewalling.It is the best one available..oh i forgot to mention all these softwares are completely free including this one.


simply follow the instruction while installing .Choose what level of protection you want.
Initially it would be asking your permission for each and everything ..Just to learn..so that it can sort out which all are friendly and which are not.
You can simply choose to block alien applications trying to access your PC.

The never ending virus hunt

Lets face it..No antivirus is been a perfect virus defender. thousands of viruses are being created all over the world on daily basis. Its impossible to keep track of all viruses and stay updated. but we can of course protect our system to some extend.Many antiviruses are there in the market but for simple home use some light virus hunters available as freeware will suffice.
bulky antiviruse eat up your system resources.
go for light ones like AVG antivirus ,Avira antivirus.
those two are the best free antiviruses available in the market
the live protection with these antiviruses is not needed if you are cautious about the possible attacks.Flash drives are the main careers these days. Write the DVD's with the uninfected writing softwares.

Downloading Unlimited..

Well... here we are finally .I haven't yet decided to start something like this until one of my friend compelled me .He feels that nobody actually know about these things.
In this place you will find the basic things and 'must knows'.You will find step by step instructions on performing a particular tasks, say downloading for instance..
Question!!..How many of you have tried downloading movies from the internet.Or are you aware of the fact that you can download a full movie from the internet??without paying a penny???
let me begin....


Download full movies !! all for free!!!!

Couldn't believe?? you can.. and technically it can be called as internet file sharing or peer to peer sharing..
Two different methods are there..
1st method:is using Limewire software



this is how the software looks like.Its silly of me to explain all small things but its all important .You ll find a search tab in the upper left corner and from there you have to start..
the remaining steps are easy and intuitive .you can choose which type of file you want to download- images programs videos audios .Anything!!..the search result is shown in that big window occupying the upper half .just you have to choose any one of those movies from the list and press green arrow-the download button.. your file will start to download...How this service is implemented and all other questions relating to p2p sharing is beyond the scope of this blog... now!!doubts please ...


Download limewire




2nd method:is using torrent software
The second method is bit different from the first one..for this you need some torrent software i prefer utorrent this is how it looks like




software looks bit different from the previous one and have some difference in downloading method as well
The first step is not beginning with the search button... then ?? ..how??

no need to open the software at all initially...instead go to torrent website Eg.www.isohunt.com

start from there.. give the name of the movie you want in the search tab you ll get a list of that
and you will see some colored numbers in the right side of the titles displayed..what is that..??
They show how many givers and takers are there for the movie. precisely speaking seeders and leechers.. seeders are the givers and leechers are the takers..
now this is important..
if the leechers are more than seeders you have to wait for the old leechers to finish downloading
so you will be in a queue..it can be a long wait at times ...but if seeders are more than leechers there is no much demand for the file and you can leisurely download the things right away
if you click any of the movie from the list you ll get a new download window. you are downloading the torrent file of the movie (its a small file 15 to 20kb) and not the movie itself.. torrent file has the links and locations to all these movie seeders ..Save the torrent file. Right click the torrent file and open with utorrent. You will get your movie in the list.
Initially the download speed will be low since you need to upload the same for the others..once when certain amount of uploading is been done,your downloading speed will dramatically increase..
there are various others torrent softwares too.. you can use any torrent software of your liking..


Download utorrent



Download without head ache


Having problem downloading freewares and demos?? Download break can be quite ruthless especially when you are doing with a huge file.Ordinary browsers cannot start the download from a broken point.Imagine you are downloading some game demo or a movie.. connection goes off in the middle..It cant be any worse if it is happening at 99th%.
I
know this has happened to many of you people .So what is the real solution to this problem?? which software can resume the download from anywhere than starting all over again??
Out of many download managers i choose orbit. its light and downloading is comparatively quick.




it is similar to softwares mentioned above.you just need to install it in your system and mention the browser you use while installation .Now all your downloads will be managed through orbit. Some times in some cases if it is not starting automatically then just give it a right click, copy the link address,open the orbit manually,click new,paste the link address to the tab, click OK thats all.Go for any thing you want to download without being spooked.
