I know that Gmail is still in beta, even though it’s been running for a number of years.
one thing i can sure Gmail isn’t good, it’s excellent.The absolutely number one feature of Gmail is the spam filtering.Gmail is better than anything that is currently out there. If you’re able to, or you’re sick of using your current webmail service, Gmail comes HIGHLY recommended.

Hey Now our soap story.

Some company in Russia is actually selling Gmail soap bars with the tagline “cleanest soap” - they are probably inspired by the clean Gmail Inboxes.

Ever found yourself out and about on business and you need to make a change to that word document or spreadsheet? A last minute tweak to the sales presentation you're about to make? And, horror of horror, you realise that you have incompatible software.

Now you can word process on the move through an internet browser - no fuss, no frills, and no file format issues, using ThinkFree. You'll need to register, then you can choose to upload any documents you want to be able to work with. You get 1GB of free space, which should be plenty for day to day use. There is a premium service that provides much more storage space and cool drive syncing features, but you don't need to sign up for this to take advantage of the basic features.

Once you load a document you can choose to open and edit it - either using Quick Edit with limited options, or the more complicated Power Edit with many of the features you see on your desktop word processor. The site's software is compatible with most basic MS Office features so you should have no problem making changes to existing documents.

Alternatively you can choose to create a new document from scratch and have it available for you to edit where ever you happen to log on to the 'net.

One feature I particularly like is the ability to share your document over the web, which allows others to work on the page.

1. Defrag Disk to Speed Up Access to Data

One of the factors that slow the performance of the computer is disk fragmentation. When files are fragmented, the computer must search the hard disk when the file is opened to piece it back together. To speed up the response time, you should monthly run Disk Defragmenter, a Windows utility that defrags and consolidates fragmented files for quicker computer response.

* Follow Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter
* Click the drives you want to defrag and click Analyze
* Click Defragment

2. Detect and Repair Disk Errors

Over time, your hard disk develops bad sectors. Bad sectors slow down hard disk performance and sometimes make data writing difficult or even impossible. To detect and repair disk errors, Windows has a built-in tool called the Error Checking utility. It’ll search the hard disk for bad sectors and system errors and repair them for faster performance.

* Follow Start > My Computer
* In My Computer right-click the hard disk you want to scan and click Properties
* Click the Tools tab
* Click Check Now
* Select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box
* Click Start

3. Disable Indexing Services

Indexing Services is a little application that uses a lot of CPU. By indexing and updating lists of all the files on the computer, it helps you to do a search for something faster as it scans the index list. But if you know where your files are, you can disable this system service. It won’t do any harm to you machine, whether you search often or not very often.

* Go to Start
* Click Settings
* Click Control Panel
* Double-click Add/Remove Programs
* Click the Add/Remove Window Components
* Uncheck the Indexing services
* Click Next

4. Optimize Display Settings

Windows XP is a looker. But it costs you system resources that are used to display all the visual items and effects. Windows looks fine if you disable most of the settings and leave the following:

* Show shadows under menus
* Show shadows under mouse pointer
* Show translucent selection rectangle
* Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop
* Use visual styles on windows and buttons

5. Speedup Folder Browsing

You may have noticed that everytime you open My Computer to browse folders that there is a little delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing speed, you can disable the “Automatically search for network folders and printers” option.

6. Disable Performance Counters

Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC’s performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.

* Download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/exctrlst-o.asp)
* Then select each counter in turn in the ‘Extensible performance counters’ window and clear the ‘performance counters enabled’ checkbox at the bottom button below

7. Optimize Your Pagefile

You can optimize your pagefile. Setting a fixed size to your pagefile saves the operating system from the need to resize the pagefile.

* Right click on My Computer and select Properties
* Select the Advanced tab
* Under Performance choose the Settings button
* Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
* Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.

Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.

8. Remove Fonts for Speed

Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts down to just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require.

* Open Control Panel
* Open Fonts folder
* Move fonts you don’t need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.

9. Use a Flash Memory to Boost Performance

To improve performance, you need to install additional RAM memory. It’ll let you boot your OS much quicker and run many applications and access data quicker. There is no easiest and more technically elegant way to do it than use eBoostr (http://www.eboostr.com).

eBoostr is a little program that lets you improve a performance of any computer, powered by Windows XP in much the same way as Vista’s ReadyBoost. With eBoostr, if you have a flash drive, such as a USB flash thumb drive or an SD card, you can use it to make your computer run better. Simply plug in a flash drive through a USB socket and Windows XP will use eBoostr to utilize the flash memory to improve performance.

The product shows the best results for frequently used applications and data, which becomes a great feature for people who are using office programs, graphics applications or developer tools. It’ll surely attract a special attention of laptop owners as laptop upgrade is usually more complicated and laptop hard drives are by definition slower than those of desktops.

10. Perform a Boot Defragment

There's a simple way to speed up XP startup: make your system do a boot defragment, which will put all the boot files next to one another on your hard disk. When boot files are in close proximity to one another, your system will start faster.

On most systems, boot defragment should be enabled by default, but it might not be on yours, or it might have been changed inadvertently. To make sure that boot defragment is enabled:

* Run the Registry Editor
* Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
* Set the Enable string value to Y if it is not already set to Y.
* Exit the Registry
* Reboot

Hope you find these 10 tips useful. credit to open source article.

Your passwords are the keys you use to access personal information that you've stored on your computer and in your online accounts.

If criminals or other malicious users steal this information, they can use your name to open new credit card accounts, apply for a mortgage, or pose as you in online transactions. In many cases you would not notice these attacks until it was too late.

Fortunately, it is not hard to create strong passwords and keep them well protected.

• For each computer and service you use (e-mail, chatting, online purchasing, for example), you should have a password.
• You shouldn’t write them down nor should you share them with anyone, even your best friends.
• Computer intruders use trial-and-error, or brute-force techniques, to discover passwords.
• Use alphanumeric characters and special characters in your password. EG:d81422w/.
• The length of password should be as long as possible (More than 8 characters).
• Do not write it to some place where it is visible to someone else.
• Maintain security and reduce vulnerability: use strong passwords. Weak passwords increase your vulnerability to hackers and intruders, and increase the chances of identity theft. Strong passwords are critical for computer security.

  : Avoid Weak Passwords :

Easily obtained information, such as:

* Address, ID card
* License plate numbers, Favorite number.
* Telephone numbers, Mobile.
* Credit card or ATM numbers.
* Social Security or Social Insurance numbers.
* Email addresses.

Create a strong, memorable password in 6 steps

Use these steps to develop a strong password:

1. Think of a sentence that you can remember.
2. Check if the computer or online system supports the pass phrase directly.
3. If the computer or online system does not support pass phrases, convert it to a password.
4. Add complexity
5. Finally, substitute some special characters.
6. Use more than one password everywhere.
7. Avoid using online storage.

This is quite interesting, get it from a forum, and credits go to Mojojojojo. Just follow these simple steps below, to get a new IP address even you have a static/fixed IP!

This trick is very useful for those who cannot use this method because the have static IP address.

To start off, you need a direct connection to your modem and computer. If you have a router, disconnect it and directly hook up your modem to your computer.

1. Open up the command prompt by pressing Start->Run and typing in CMD

2. In the command prompt, type “Ipconfig/all”. This will tell you your current IP Address. After, type “ipconfig/release”. Keep the command prompt open for easy access.

3. Go to “Network Connections” (accessible through the control panel). Right click “Local Area Connection” and click “Properties”

4. With “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selected, click the “Properties” button.

5. A new window will open. Under the “General” tab, select “Use the Following IP address”. Under “Ip Address”, put “10.0.0.1″. Press the “Tab” key on your keyboard.

6. Press Ok on both open windows.

7. Repeat steps 3-4. Under the “General” tab, press the radio button “Automatically Assign Me an Ip Address”. Press ok on both windows.

8. Go back to the command prompt and type in “Ipconfig/all”. You’ll now notice you have a new IP address.

So, this will be handy if you want to by-pass Rapidshare 1 hour download limit, provided that you have a static IP address.

Name: Speed up startup
Category: Removing what you don\’t need
Operating System: Windows Vista
Difficulty: This one is Grandma material!

Have you ever wondered why your computer takes so long to turn on? “It never was this slow” you say. Chances are it is because many of the programs you have installed over the years are loading when Windows starts. Many of these programs you don\’t even need or use.

I often wonder why so many programs default to starting when your computer turns on - hell how many times do we need that quicktime icon that many of us have in our toolbar every time the computer turns on. Many computers I see during my work have so much in their startup list that the computer is taking much longer to start than it should. I try to teach these people that many of these they just don\’t need, but most are scared to remove programs from startup because they think they will mess something up. I am here today to tell you - it\’s not that hard!

I came across a great video by pcwizkid again today, which explains the easiest way to remove startup items in Windows Vista. There is no fancy registry editing, no plying around with msconfig, no smashing your computer when it won\’t play that new game you bought (OK I can\’t promise the last one). This video only goes for 1 minute and is an absolute must watch for Vista users.

What advantage will this have?
Removing these mountains of programs that start when your computer does not only frees up valuable memory, but has the added advantage of speeding up the time Vista takes to start. Users with small amounts of memory 512MB or 1GB will possibly see a minor improvement in performance.

How do I do this?
Watch the video.

1. Check Windows Update and Office Update regularly, have your Office CD ready. Windows Me, 2000, and XP users can configure automatic updates. Click on the Automatic Updates tab in the System control panel and choose the appropriate options.

2. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate and ZoneAlarm offer free versions.


3. Install a free spyware blocker like SpyBot Search & Destroy. SpyBot is also paranoid and ruthless in hunting out tracking cookies.

4. Block pop-up spam messages in Windows NT, 2000, or XP by disabling the Windows Messenger service (this is unrelated to the instant messaging program). Open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services and you'll see Messenger. Right-click and go to Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and press the Stop button. Bye-bye, spam pop-ups! Any good firewall will also stop them.

5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. A decent example would be f8izKro@l. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts.

6. If you're using Outlook or Outlook Express, use the current version or one with the Outlook Security Update installed. The update and current versions patch numerous vulnerabilities.

7. Buy antivirus software and keep it up to date. If you're not willing to pay, try Grisoft AVG Free Edition. And doublecheck your AV with the free, online-only scanners available at Panda and Trend Micro Devices

8. If you have a wireless network, turn on the security features: Use MAC filtering, turn off SSID broadcast, and even use WEP with the biggest key you can get. For more, check out our wireless section or see the expanded coverage in Your Unwired World in our next issue.

9. Join a respectable e-mail security list, such as the one found at Security Supersite, so that you learn about emerging threats quickly and can take proper precautions.

10. Be skeptical of things on the Internet. Don't assume that e-mail "From:" a particular person is actually from that person until you have further reason to believe it's that person. Don't assume that an attachment is what it says it is. Don't give out your password to anyone, even if that person claims to be from "support."

If you like to keep four or five windows or many more open while you work (or play) on your computer, you'll appreciate knowing these keyboard shortcuts. You can quickly switch between your Web browser, e-mail, instant message windows, and other programs without taking your hands off the keyboard.

Minimize a window to your taskbar----------- -ALT, SPACEBAR, N

Maximize a window so it takes
up your whole desktop--------------------------ALT, SPACEBAR, X

Restore a window so it's visible but
doesn't take up your whole desktop------------ALT, SPACEBAR, R

Close a window-----------------------------------ALT+F4

Switch to the last window you had open -------ALT+TAB

Switch to any window ----------------------------Hold down the ALT key, and press TAB until the window you want is active

Programs often start up in a "restored" state, where the window takes up only part of the screen. To maximize the window so that it takes up the entire screen, press the ALT key, press the SPACEBAR, and then press X. This will feel natural after you do it a few times, and you will feel much more efficient while using your computer.

Crimeware is a class of malware designed specifically to automate financial crime.
The software tools used in cybercrime is sometimes referred to as crimeware.

During the past two years, crimeware attacks have increased at a far greater rate than the normal virus. International gangs of virus writers, hackers and spammers are joining forces to steal information and collect huge profits illegall.

Crimeware is software that is:

• used in the commission of the criminal act
• not generally regarded as a desirable software or hardware application
• not involuntarily enabling the crime

However, it is important to remember that not all software used in the commission of a computer-based or computer-facilitated crime can be defined as crimeware.

A classic example of crimeware is a backdoor keylogger trojan that collects keystroke information and transmits it back to an attacker.

For example, a bank login ID and password may be collected and sent back to an attacker. The attacker typically will use this information in order to collect illegal profits.

Like cybercrime itself, the term crimeware covers a wide range of different malicious, or potentially malicious software.

Crimeware does, however, include programs which may be classified as bots, keystroke loggers, spyware, backdoors and Trojan horses.

Prevention Tips:

* Keep your computer current with the latest patches and updates.
* Make sure your computer is configured securely.
* Choose strong passwords and keep them safe.
* Protect your computer with security software.
* Protect your personal information.
* Online offers that look too good to be true usually are.
* Review bank and credit card statements regularly.
