Once reserved just for e-mail, there are now a variety of ways in which spammers are targeting the unsuspecting public. While much spam can be written off as an annoying marketing attempt, there are some spam messages that are dangerous to you and your computer. Spam is now being used as a vehicle to spread Trojan horses, viruses, worms, and other unwanted spyware and malware. Many of these dangerous programs are sent with the intent to steal your identity or your financial information.
In May 2007, the world’s most egregious spammer, Robert Alan Soloway, was charged with 35 criminal violations including wire fraud, e-mail fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, and identity theft. He had employed thousands of zombie computers – those he had created a “back door” into in order to use the users’ addresses as the originators of his spam – to bombard Internet users with e-mail spam in 2003. This is the first documented case of identity theft laws being used to prosecute a spammer for hijacking someone else’s Internet domain.
In this case, the use of a technologically advanced anti-spyware and anti-spam software program could have protected many of these users’ computers, preventing them from becoming victims at all. Anti Spam products would have been able to detect harmful e-mail messages, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other unwanted or dangerous software and eliminate them before they ever had a chance to invade the user’s computer.
Aside from hijacking domains and bombarding users with unwanted e-mail, spammers have begun to invade other aspects of our lives.
Spamdexing
This refers to the use of spam to modify HTML pages in order to increase their relevancy on search engine lists. Luckily, modern search engines have recognized the weaknesses in their systems that allowed spamdexing and have taken steps to prevent it.
Spam on Video Sharing Sites
Sites such as YouTube are not only highly popular with the general public, but they are now being targeted by spammers as well. The most common method is to post links to web sites in the comments section of random profiles or videos. Most of these links lead to pornographic or online dating sites.
YouTube has tried to combat the problem by banning the posting of links on their web site, but spammers have managed to circumvent the security measures by replacing any dots in the web site address, i.e. www.yourwebsite.com, with the word “dot.” It would then read, “wwwdotyourwebsitedotcom.” This allows the spam link to bypass the filters YouTube has in place.
Another problem YouTube had encountered was numerous, repetitive postings in the comments sections of various videos or profiles. They now utilize CAPTCHA technology to quickly detect repetitive messages, making it more difficult for spammers to bombard comments with repeated comments.
Spam in Online Game Messaging
Nearly all online games allow player to player messaging or offer player chat rooms or message boards. Many spammers will post repetitive or annoying messages in these areas until they are kicked out of the game by the administrator or monitor.
In most cases, spam can be avoided by employing the use of a high quality anti-spyware product such as ParetoLogic’s Spam Controls & PC tools Spam Monitor 3.0. Rather than taking chances with unwanted messages flooding your inbox, or rather than risk infection of your computer by a virus or worm, use Spam Controls to automatically scan your incoming messages and quarantine spam where you do not have to be bothered by it. Also rest easy knowing your anti-spam software is protecting you and your computer from phishing scams, Trojans, viruses, worms, and a variety of other forms of malware. You receive peace of mind while your computer is protected by the most technologically advanced product on the market today.

The Need for Data Recovery
As technology finds more ways to transfer, store, and display data, Murphy’s Law ensures that people will find more ways to lose the data. 20 years ago, any company or individual who experienced a mishap of this nature was on their own. Experienced technicians were usually too far away to help in a timely fashion.
Change came about upon the forefront of the Information Technology industry. Notable improvements were taking place in both software and hardware. However, as the world of computers grew more technologically advanced and complex, so did the risks that involved a company’s sensitive data.
The evolution of data recovery
Approximately fifteen years ago, the field of data recovery really began to grow; specialists from various locations were called in to rescue information for many clients. At this time, most of the expertise was a combination of program tools scripted to enhance hardware devices and handle the recovery procedures. Since most data recovery issues called for physical hardware solutions, several large corporations invested significant amounts of money to create laboratories designated for disassembling and rebuilding machines – with the purpose of salvaging the data from damaged disk drives.
In modern times, the need for data recovery is one based on crisis. The consistently changing and emerging technologies, based upon the frequently changing needs, makes it nearly impossible to prevent data loss before it occurs.
Analyzing the data recovery tools available
The capability and reliability of today’s data recovery solutions can be measured by taking a look at available hardware and software products. Several are on the market, but few are actually able to completely handle situations that cover the areas of physical and internal losses. We witnessed a few companies stray away from the physical side of the industry, practicing in software-based solutions, while limiting their capability in media storage recovery. Others choose to specialize in hardware because they feel software will always be dependent upon these devices to operate.
There are also a few services that have capitalized on both hardware and software aspects, developing the ultimate data recovery solution. ParetoLogic Data Recovery Pro, File Recover form PC Tools and Stellar Phoenix's programs combines the power of restoring information lost on peripheral media, as well as an internal hard drive. This proven system will restore the data from various hidden areas on your computer and even files that have been purposely deleted. The program only claims a minimal amount of space on your hard drive, yet works diligently and quickly to restore information thought to be long gone - whether that data is internal or stored on a CD.
Data recovery of tomorrow
What does the future hold for the evolving data recovery industry? In a world that has grown to encompass technology in nearly every interaction, it is safe to say that the data recovery market will remain important. Though you can literally reach across the world to find best technicians to solve your problems, one must never underestimate the power of convenience. Why wait for your personal information to be victimized by common computer errors? With innovative recovery programs, the perfect data recovery solution to end the woes of deleted files rest at your fingertips.

Why wait for your personal information to be victimized by common computer errors? With innovative recovery programs, the perfect data recovery solution to end the woes of deleted files rest at your fingertips.
Have Your Files Really Been Erased?
The Scenario: Your boss has recently called upon you to deliver those original files to complete the big project. The problem is that you deleted them long ago. Suddenly, you go into a frenzy, realizing that the file has been permanently erased with no way to recover it.
Thankfully, with certain techniques, you no longer need to hyperventilate with stress. In fact, deleted files can be easily restored to your hard drive, along with those that have been overwritten, damaged, or reformatted.
The Reality of Data Recovery: Recovering data and lost files is much easier than you may think. This is because the content is not actually erased from your computer. Instead, files are merely removed from the folder where you have known it to be.
Windows users who have deleted items via Internet Explorer can normally find those files in the Recycle Bin, the first place you always want to look. If this is the case, these files can be restored entirely in a few simple steps.
The Complicated Situation: What if the file you seek is not in the Recycle Bin? Perhaps you recently emptied the Recycle Bin or deleted in a manner that prevented the file from making it there. Do not despair - there is still a great chance that this item can be recovered. This simply means that the file has been removed from the list of folders or the Recycle Bin itself, and it has been made available for reuse by your operating system. In most cases, Windows will not need to immediately reuse the disk space – and this makes the possibility of recovering those files very strong.
Data can actually be recovered or completely undeleted immediately thereafter or after a significant period of time. Of course, the chances of a full recovery will decrease the longer the file remains dormant. Chances may also be decreased by using your system defragmenter. Performing this task will delete all pointers that lead to the location of the file, making recovery very difficult. In this instance, your only chance at restoring that data is to utilize advanced software designed to dig deep into the system’s registry.
The Solution: Tools that help you retrieve files outside of your Recycle Bin typically do not come standard with your operating system. To get the best results, you will need to call upon the aid of a powerful program, an application that comprehends the internal workings of your computer and can detail clues of where a lost file rests on your hard disk.
A great way to prevent future data recovery loss would be to use a second hard disk to backup important information. This could be a USB-based flash card or removable network drive. ParetoLogic Data Recovery Pro, File Recover from PC Tools and Stellar Phoenix quality software that can be installed onto your primary hard drive, and then used to save the files you recovered on the secondary drive to maintain disk space.
If you do not have another hard drive to use, this program has the ability to store recovered files directly onto a CD without creating temporary files on the hard drive of your computer. These types of exclusive capabilities make these advanced products ideal in many situations, giving you the best chance of successful data recovery.

Runtime Errors
Are you tired of runtime errors ruining your workday? Sick of programs being unable to run at the most crucial moments?
If you are looking at this page, you are probably very confused. Computers are supposed to be the height of modern-day technology. PCs were made with the user in mind - to provide maximum stability, comfort, and convenience, by professionals that know what they are doing. These things should not be breaking down, and your programs should not be crashing for seemingly no reason whatsoever. It is confusing and frustrating, and it certainly is not the way things should be done. So why does your PC keep crashing?
The deep dark registry truth behind PC errors
Problems within a PC can begin in a number of ways. First, and most frightening, is the inclusion of viruses, Trojans, and malware within your PC. You can accidentally download these in any number of ways, with email being a popular choice. Hackers and virus makers have literally hundreds of ways to gain access into your computer and cause severe damage to your software and operating system.
The second is problems to the registry. The registry in your computer is the collection of files that comprises the core foundation of what a computer is. The registry is the collection of files and programs that dictates how a computer is run. It is also the place where all the most important information is stored. You might even say that the registry is the “brain” of the computer’s software components. With this place in your computer’s system under so much duress, it is easy for it to get bogged down with the typical wear and tear of computer use. Installations can go awry, files can become corrupted, and a number of other problems can occur.
The biggest culprit of them all – runtime error
But first things first - what is a runtime error? A runtime error is basically a problem that occurs within the execution of a program. The term “runtime” defines the total time a program is in use, from start to finish. Sometimes, a problem with a runtime error can cause subsequent errors with the programs dependent upon it, thus escalating the situation further. If you see one program crashing, chances are there is a problem within your PC that will cause another error.
One solution to solving the runtime error is to contact the software publisher. However, this is not really much of a solution – all the publisher can do is advise you to reinstall the software. But what if even reinstalling does not work? Then you know you have a problem with the registry.
Shining a cure light on runtime errors – Registry Cleaners
Because the registry is such a crucial part of the computer’s software functions, and it is so frequently used, it is easy for it to get corrupted and stop working at maximum efficiency. In addition, because it is so crucial for the computer’s software, it is severely complicated. A trained professional with several years of experienced is to required to enter into the registry to solve problems. If an average computer user attempted to fix the problems with his or her own registry, the results could be disastrous. All it takes is the wrong movement of a specific file or folder, and the whole computer could come crashing down. There is no “save” feature when using the registry, so as soon as you do anything within it, it begins to take effect.
Some people believe that if something is wrong with your registry, then your computer is useless. This computer is useless unless you feel like spending hundreds of dollars buying a new computer or paying a professional to fix the old one. Sadly, the bulk of people are wrong. There are highly effective programs available, that can completely and efficiently restore your computer to its former glory. Regcure will move through your computer’s registry, fixing the problems while avoiding tampering with the good files, costing far less than a new computer or a paid professional.
Runtime errors can severely hinder one’s computer experience. Even just one runtime error can hint at the possibility of a much greater problem occurring within the registry; this is why it is important to solve the problem at its source as soon as possible. All Registry Cleaners requires is a quick and simple download. It will sweep the registry for the problem that is causing your programs to crash and accurately remedy these issues. It does the work of a paid professional for far less the cost and effort, and with a much greater efficiency and accuracy. After you run Registry Cleaners just once, you will be able to see the difference it will make within your computer. Your programs will run faster - there will be no more runtime errors, and you will see why Registry Cleaners are the best at getting the job done right.

Defending Against the Trojan Horse
As in the days of ancient Greece, a Trojan horse sent to your computer comes disguised looking like something good, yet cleverly disguises something potentially deadly to your computer or your personal information.
The computer Trojan horse is a program designed to infect your computer. The most common way for them to arrive is in the form of an e-mail with an appealing subject line. Once the user opens the e-mail, the Trojan horse is executed and infects the computer. Chat systems such as Yahoo messenger, MSN, and ICQ can also be used to disburse Trojan horses.
Trojan Horse Viruses
A typical Trojan horse is not a virus, and cannot replicate itself, nor can it spread itself. It must depend upon some other program or mechanism to carry it from one computer to another.
However, there is a form of computer virus that spreads itself like a Trojan horse, hence the name. These viruses will normally trick a user into opening a file, disguised as something enticing much as a Trojan horse is concealed in an intriguing e-mail. Once the user opens the file, the virus not only infects the user’s computer, but replicates itself and sends itself to everyone in the user’s address book.
Effects of the Trojan Horse
The most common use of a Trojan horse is to explore a victim’s computer and extract data about the victim, such as user names and passwords. More sophisticated Trojan horses will also seek out such information as bank account numbers or credit card information. The mined information is then transmitted back to the attacker for illicit use.
In other instances, the victim’s computer becomes an attacker, joined with a network designed to attack other computers. Victim computers essentially become slaves of the attacker.
Preventing the Trojan Horse Attack
One of the simplest ways to protect yourself from attack by a Trojan horse is to never open any software, e-mail, or message from a sender you do not know. No matter how intriguing the message may be, your best bet is to delete the message without opening it.
Anti-virus software will defend against known Trojan horses. The problem with these programs is that there are many unknown Trojan horses leapfrogging their way around the Internet. These harmful programs are much easier to create than viruses, and are much more difficult for anti-virus software to detect. Many times the anti-virus software can scan an infected hard drive and still overlook a Trojan horse.
Another, more effective option is to employ the use of good anti-malware software, such as those offered by Paretologic, PC TOols & Webroot.. Their technologically advanced anti-spyware program that is designed specifically to hunt down and eliminate Trojan horses, spyware, adware, and a number of other harmful computer programs.
A 2005 study by Symantec software showed that online security threats affected 85% of personal computers, meaning yours most likely has some sort of spyware hiding on your hard drive, whether you realize it or not. Your safest bet is to take steps today to protect your computer – and your personal information – from harmful computer Trojan horses and other threats

Protect Your Computer from Harmful Adware
Not all adware is bad. In exchange for putting up with some advertising, you receive computer programs that are useful to you either free or at a greatly reduced price. The integration of advertising allows the software developer to recoup costs and offer you a bargain.
Many popular programs, such as WeatherBug, Daemon Tools, and WinFixer are distributed as adware. Sometimes you will receive a free trial of the product that includes advertisements, with the option of purchasing a licensed copy if you like the software. The full-use versions have all of the user enhancements activated and do not contain any advertisements.
Adware as a Delivery Method for Spyware
While there are many legitimate shareware programs out there, with innocuous advertising included in the programming, there are many that will deliver spyware, viruses, or other harmful programs to your computer. When you allow the adware program to access your computer, it also has the ability to infect it. Once these programs are installed on your computer, they not only can steal your personal information, but they can be incredibly difficult to detect and remove.
Adding the use of a reliable spyware detection and removal program, such as Paretologic’s XoftSpyXE, is necessary to offer you the maximum amount of protection. In a very short period of time, this program can detect any spyware that has been installed on your hard drive, remove it, and restore your computer to optimal functionality quickly and easily.
How to Tell if Your Computer is Infected
The scary thing about adware and spyware is that your computer may behave normally, leaving you with no idea that someone else is digging into your hard drive and retrieving your personal information. They may track which websites you visit, or go as far as stealing bank account information, your name, or your social security number. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing financial crimes, and much of it is being committed through the use of spyware.
You may notice your computer running much more slowly than normal, you may be bombarded by pop-ups, or you may notice your modem working when you are not even on your computer.

Adware is Just Another Parasite

They could be tracking every single keystroke you make, without any knowledge on your part. Standard anti-virus and firewall programs just are not enough protection these days, as the programming becomes increasingly advanced. Utilize a good anti-spyware detection and removal program on your computer which are not only highly effective, but simple to use as well. After all, you never know who might be watching you.
Many popular programs, such as WeatherBug, Daemon Tools, and WinFixer are distributed as adware. Sometimes you will receive a free trial of the product that includes advertisements, with the option of purchasing a licensed copy if you like the software. The full-use versions have all of the user enhancements activated and do not contain any advertisements.
Adware as a Delivery Method for Spyware
While there are many legitimate shareware programs out there, with innocuous advertising included in the programming, there are many that will deliver spyware, viruses, or other harmful programs to your computer. When you allow the adware program to access your computer, it also has the ability to infect it. Once these programs are installed on your computer, they not only can steal your personal information, but they can be incredibly difficult to detect and remove.
Adding the use of a reliable spyware detection and removal program, such as Paretologic’s XoftSpyXE, is necessary to offer you the maximum amount of protection. In a very short period of time, this program can detect any spyware that has been installed on your hard drive, remove it, and restore your computer to optimal functionality quickly and easily.

Retrieve Deleted Files, Photos, Music, Videos and Lost Emails
In the late 80's and early 90's, computers were primarily used for business purposes. Today, they have become a part of everyday life for most of us, be it work or play. The popularity of computers has resulted in paper free operations in many offices around the world, as emails and documents in data files are predominant. For this very reason, it is a must that computer users implement a dependable backup recovery system for both professional and personal needs.
How to resurrect your deleted files
Computer files and various forms of data are deleted or damaged for numerous reasons. Many times, the deletion is done accidently. Someone with little knowledge of the procedure can actually cause more harm than good when attempting to recover deleted files or lost data on their own.
Before probing deep into the system, your first approach should always be to check within your Recycle Bin to see if the missing file is there. On many occasions, you will be able to restore lost files from your Recycle Bill, a process known as un-deleting. If the file has been visibly erased from the computer, or the Recycle Bin has been emptied, you may actually need professional help to salvage this important data.
Reviving your lost emails
Lost emails have become a common problem for many internet users as well. These messages are not stored separately as individual files, but as separate folders in a mail server such as Outlook Express or similar applications. This means that recovering emails may require different methods than those used to restore typical files. Since many email servers have options that allow a user to completely clear the contents of a trash folder, the lost messages you seek may not be easily found there.
In the event that you were a bit too free with the mouse and mistakenly deleted a few important files or emails, rest assured that all hope is not lost. A smart option for protecting and restoring data is to backup that information on a secondary drive or alternate computer. You can also save data on writable CD or DVD media that have decent storage capacities. Then there are several portable devices that act as hard disks, such as flash drives. These are all great alternatives when you need more storage space, and they are certainly more affordable than purchasing a brand new computer.
How to recover your data – when it is too late
If you do not perform frequent manual backups of your data by computer or removable media, there are still other options that can be used to restore and protect your information. There are several programs available on the market specifically designed to handle data recovery. Some are free and limited in capability, while others are worth every penny and will pay for themselves in the long run.
For example, ParetoLogic Data Recovery Pro, File Recover form PC Tools and Stellar Phoenix's products are unique programs that specializes in recovering lost email messages, attachments, files, and much more. This software was designed to bring back your email, along with a variety other files on your computer that have been damaged or accidently deleted.
When seeking the right program to protect and restore your important information, it is best to find one that can be downloaded for a free trial. With a free trial, you can sample the product, become familiar with the interface, and learn if the software truly meets your needs.

The Basics of Your Computer Registry
Your computer’s registry is essentially your computer’s brain, keeping your computer’s functions in top form for optimal computer performance. Over time, bits of lost or scattered information creep into your registry, causing it to ultimately malfunction. You know you need to keep it safe, but have you ever wondered what exactly it does?
What the Registry Does
In technical terms, a registry is a computer’s main database, comprised of information detailing specific computer configurations, including hardware, software, system data, and your set preferences — like how your desktop is set up, for example. All of this information is kept there, securely out of view. Every action performed on your computer involves this vital key, the heart of the computer’s longevity. This is why it is so important to keep it in top form. The registry is accessible for editing, but Windows highly discourages this. Only trained professionals should attempt to manually edit the registry, and even then they must make registry backups in case they make a wrong move. All you need is one oddly-placed comma to render your computer inaccessible, causing immediate computer death.
Why it Collects Errors
Like any other equipment, registries need manual ‘cleaning’ also. After all, metaphorical dust collects in the registry, causing it to malfunction. After a while, this leads to that fateful blue screen. Your registry collects errors very easily. Something as simple as downloading a mp3 file or emptying your recycle bin causes these little fragments of data to float around in inner computer space, littering your computer’s registry. Each action you do causes an offset of these data fragments, and unless you clean it properly, these fragments will ultimately destroy your computer. Think of it as food for your body. If you eat food, leftover things such as dirty plates, crumbs, and utensils sit unless you put them in the dishwasher. A lazy person won’t clean up after themselves, and soon the entire kitchen is filled with dirt and grime. With no clean utensils or plates, the person either has to eat elsewhere or clean it up themselves. Conversely, if you make no effort to clean your registry, your computer suffers premature computer death. Case in point: your registry is the heart of your computer, so make sure to take care of it. If you don’t, you risk premature computer death.

The Basics of Data Recovery
When the words “data recovery” come to someone’s mind, the associated imagery usually consists of frustration spouted at the computer screen. In definitive terms, data recovery is the act of salvaging or restoring original data. The information may have been stored on various types of media, from CDs to the hard drive of a computer – but through certain processes and malfunctions, the data may have been corrupt or physically damaged and inaccessible.
Understanding the dynamics of data storage
Data is most often stored on media such as hard disk drives, CDs, DVDs, and portable USB drives. Through improper storage, attacks from viruses, and computer infections, this data can become damaged or corrupted. In other cases, the data may have simply been deleted.
Many users will give up in these instances, believing their information is lost forever. In actuality, data can be recovered by implementing a variety of methods, with strategies that often depend on the original media. This action can be successfully performed by using hardware or a form of advanced software, both of which might require the assistance of trained professionals.
Recovering Media Data
As mentioned above, this procedure can be applied to many aspects and different media. Recovering data for media used with an optical drive is often as easy as fixing a few nicks and scratches on a CD. You can find many available products at your local computer store that are strictly intended for this purpose. Sealing the nicks or smoothing over the scratches can be sufficient to enable the detection of data that was once inaccessible due to physical damage.
The difficulties overcoming data loss on a hard drive
Data errors are more complicated to troubleshoot on a hard drive. The loss of this information may be the result of physical, mechanical, or logical failures. Sometimes the problem may stem from an internal circuit board that is not functioning properly. When the issue becomes so severe that you are constantly losing data, the solution is indeed out of your hands. It is definitely time to call in a technician to diagnosis your machine - this problem may be more serious than you previously thought.
If the organs of your computer are working fine, the important data lost can usually be recovered. This is because files are not completely erased when you delete them. Instead, an entry in the computer’s index is deleted. This merely points to where the file is truly located. The actual file often remains untouched and sits in the registry. Location of the file can be unknowingly overwritten and misplaced by normal activity on the computer. This is the very reason why attempting to recover data on your own could be a bad idea.
The good thing is that an entire hard drive can never be completely erased. This means that any data that you have deleted can usually be recovered at a later time. Reinstalling or formatting an operating system also will not remove data beyond the point of recovery, even though the partition may have been written over.
How to effectively recover data without a technician
Restoring data on a hard drive works best when performed by reliable software. There are many programs available for restoring your important information, ranging from free to expensive. One of the leading data recovery software program is Stellar Phoenix data recovery too, ParetoLogic Data Recovery & PC Tools File Recover which happens to be very affordable and highly effective. This software has the ability to recover a wide range of data, from files that have been compressed and encrypted to those that have been emptied in the Recycle Bin. It also has the power to retrieve missing files from a variety of external storage devices.
The best way for you to tackle data recovery is to prepare for a mishap. Routine manual backups of your files combined with a reliable program will have you back up and running in no time when problems arise

Optimize your PC Performance with a Registry cleaner
HOW COMPUTER PERFORMANCE IS EFFECTED
Unknown to most, every little thing you do on a computer takes a tremendous toll. This includes the constant installing and removing of programs, storing your music or spending time on the internet. These activities leave scattered file fragments in your registry, even when you think they have been removed by performing a full uninstall. As time elapses the performance of your computer suffers. You will find yourself the victim of constant freezing, Internet Explorer messages or even the fearful blue screen.
A malicious virus will certainly affect computer performance. These system infections are relative to the biological form in the way they pass from one unit to the next. Viruses are very similar to spyware programs. Viruses will litter your computer screen with pop-up ads, collect your private information or change the configuration settings of your system. Both viruses and spyware are very hazardous and are sure to have a devastating effect the performance of your computer.
HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR COMPUTER
If your computer has been giving you slow and sluggish behavior, it is certainly time to optimize. By doing this you can maintain performance and keep it running like new. Here a few ways this may be performed:
* Remove unused programs: You can begin to optimize your computer by removing programs of no current relevance. Let’s just say your PC came equipped with a chess game. Later you find one on the internet and decide to use that instead. While getting enjoyment from your new program the old one remains on your system taking up space. It is more efficient to remove the old, unused program to clear up your hard drive.
* Perform frequent disk cleanup: The ‘disk cleanup’ function can be used through the ‘My Computer’ icon. By performing this action you can compress old system files, clear temporary internet files and those you may have left sitting in the recycle bin. By enabling this simple function you can free up a few gigabytes worth of space on the hard drive. I recommend doing this at least two times per month.
* Registry scanning software: This is perhaps the best method of optimizing your computer. Quality programs such as RegCure, Registry Mechanic & Registry Booster take an advanced approach towards maintaining performance. They allow you to conduct a quick and easy scan of your systems registry. Thereafter, it analyzes and performs the complicated repairs for you. They are fast and affordable, putting you one step closer towards fully optimizing your PC.
It does not matter if you paid an arm and a leg for your computer; in due time you are liable to experience performance issues. Following these tips is a great way to optimize your unit and keep things flowing smoothly.

Errors Related to Windows XP Registry
When Windows XP came out, it was intended to be the next step into the future. It took the problems and design flaws of Windows 2000 and Windows Me, and improved upon them, creating a better, more efficient operating system. And, for the most part PC users which had Windows XP installed on their system were pleased. So then, why are there so many errors on it now?
For instance, it seems like the older a computer gets the more slowdown it experiences. Why is this? The hardware in the computer does get any worse as time goes by, so why will it take several minutes for a program to run or an application to start? You defrag your hard drive every so often, have an adequate virus protection program and check your computer for spyware as often as possible. So what gives?
The Truth about Windows XP Errors
Some situations cause the inability of a .dll to work. .dll’s are some of the most important files in one’s PC and without certain .dll’s, the PC will fail to work properly or even work at all. This can even cause the dreaded runtime errors, which will crash whatever program they are attached to.
You might even be experiencing some shutdown and startup issues. Is it taking five minutes or more for your computer to startup? Or worse, will it never shut down? Problems like these are common faire within the PC world, sadly. And most people just accept that things are the way they are and are, unaware of the ways to fix them.
Most of a PC’s problems originate in one place – the registry. The registry inside a computer is the software component that dictates how the rest of the computer can run. Programs within the operating system and without rely on the computer’s registry for information on how to run. The registry also controls the basic functions of Windows XP. Without the registry working in proper condition, many and various computer errors can occur within Windows XP. Just a small error within the registry will create a larger error later on, and the worst part is, you won’t even be aware of where the error came from.
The registry is also the most confusing and complicated place. Your average computer user, or even many advanced computer users for that matter, would be unable to go into the registry and figure out which programs and files are good and which are bad. It would take a trained professional with years of experience to even think about going in there to fix things. In regards to this, Trojans and viruses typically target areas within the registry, knowing that it is so hard to fix, most people will be unable to correct the problem. Sometimes the registry is damaged even without malicious intent. All it takes is an improper installation or a poorly coded file to be placed in the registry for things to start falling apart.
Registry Cleaners as a solution !
A robust and sophisticated Registry optimization software program is the best way to deal with problems relating to the registry. Trained professionals are far too expensive and inefficient. While a program can check your computer’s registry and fix it at any time you want.

Blue Screen Of Death - BSOD
The blue screen might as well be a red light. Stop. Your system has crashed and there’s nothing you can do about it. The blue screen or “blue screen of death” as it is unlovingly referred to, is a bright blue screen with white letters informing you, in the most ambiguous terms possible, that your computer is useless for the moment. The blue screen has given thousands of PC users immense amounts of frustration and rage.
At the time, the only option available to you is to restart the computer and pray to your deity of choice that nothing is permanently damaged. The keyboard and mouse become unusable, which makes the blue screen even more frustrating, because now you are unable take your anger out on them. The blue screen on startup or at any other time is an indication that no activity can be performed on your computer and your only possible recourse is the shut down the computer. This will, of course, lose any unsaved information you might have been processing.
The blue screen will also remain very vague on what the problem was exactly, using terms that a typical PC user wouldn’t have the slight bit of knowledge about, let alone those deemed as “technologically impaired”. Although you might not need it – the bright blue screen looks intimidating enough without having to explain to you how bad the situation is.
What causes this dreaded, although festively decorated, blue screen to appear?
A number of problems can lead you to the “blue screen of death,” but all of them involve your PC’s registry.
The registry on your PC is the storage unit of information on your computer. Your PC is constantly referring to the registry to be told how to perform tasks and programs. It is also the place where your PC will go to check the information about the programs and files on your computer. The registry is even the area that receives the most routine use in your computer, from program information to file components to hardware specifications. Think of it as your computer’s “brain”, the place where it goes to receive information and commands. The blue screen is simply a notification that something is wrong with the “brain”.
The registry is the place where everything can go wrong very quickly, leading to the appearance of the blue screen on startup. The information in the registry might be causing trouble due to misplaced or bad information. The bad information can sometimes cause a fatal error.
SOLUTION
The misplaced or bad information can easily be fixed either manually or automatically. To do so manually would require intense computer knowledge and the ability to sort the good information from the bad. To do so automatically would be easy and require a a good registry cleaner. Registry Cleaners will sort through the information in your computer’s registry for you, easily sifting through the information that is beneficial to your computer from the information that’s bringing you a blue screen.

Speed Up Internet Explorer (IE)
INTERNET EXPLORER Speed up STARTUP .
Isn't it annoying when you want to go to a new website, or any other site and you have to wait for your 'home' to load? This tweak tells Internet Explorer to simply 'run', without loading any webpages. (If you use a 'blank' page, that is still a page, and slows access. Notice the 'about:blank' in the address bar. The blank html page must still be loaded..). To load IE with 'nothing' [nothing is different than blank]:
1. Right-click on any shortcut you have to IE
[You should create a shortcut out of your desktop IE icon, and delete the original icon]
2. Click Properties
3. Add ' -nohome' [with a space before the dash] after the endquotes in the Target field.
4. Click OK
Fire up IE from your modified shortcut, and be amazed by how fast you are able to use IE!
INTERNET EXPLORER SPEED UP.
Edit your link to start Internet Explorer to have -nohome after it. For Example: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome
This will load internet explorer very fast because it does not load a webpage while it is loading. If you want to go to your homepage after it is loaded, just click on the home button.
or
Open registry editor by going to Start then >> Run and entering >> regedit.
Once in registry, navigate to key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings. Right click @ windows right > New > DWORD.
Type MaxConnectionsPerServer > You can set value (the more higher the no, the more good speed u get, e;g : 99). [99 in hexa so 153 in binary]
Create another DWORD >type MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server. Then put a high value as mentioned above.
Restart I.E and you are done.
SPEED UP BROWSING WITH DNS trick.!!
When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth, this is obvious. Some of this information deals with resolving the site name to an IP address, the stuff that tcp/ip really deals with, not words. This is DNS information and is used so that you will not need to ask for the site location each and every time you visit the site. Although WinXP and win2000 has a pretty efficient DNS cache, you can increase its overall performance by increasing its size. You can do this with the registry entries below:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d
make a new text file and rename it to dnscache.reg. Then copy and paste the above into it and save it. Then merge it into the registry.
START Internet EXPLORER WITH EMPTY BLUE SCREEN.!!
Set your default page to about:mozilla and IE will show a nice blue screen upon startup.
FIX IE 6 SLOWDOWNS AND HANGS.
1. Open a command prompt window on the desktop (Start/Run/command).
2. Exit IE and Windows Explorer (iexplore.exe and explorer.exe, respectively, in Task Manager, i.e - Ctrl-Alt-Del/Task Manager/Processes/End Process for each).
3. Use the following command exactly from your command prompt window to delete the corrupt file:
C:\>del "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat"
4. Restart Windows Explorer with Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del/Task Manager/Applications/New Task/Browse/C:\Windows\explorer.exe[or your path]) or Shutdown/Restart the computer from Task Manager.
SPEED UP WEB BROWSING.
Iv'e personally found a dramatic increase in web browsing after clearing the Windows XP DNS cache. To clear it type the following in a command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns.
ALLOW MORE THAN 2 SIMULTANEOUS DOWNLOADS ON IEXPLORER 6.
This is to increase the the number of max downloads to 10.
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value , and then add the following registry values:
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword:0000000a
4. Quit Registry Editor.
IPV6 INSTALLATION FOR WINDOWS XP.
This protocol is distined to replace the Internet Protocal Version 4 used by Internet Explorer it uses hexadecimal ip addresses instead of decimal example (decimal ip 62.98.231.67) (hexadecimal IP 2001:6b8:0:400::70c)
To install To install the IPv6 Protocol for Windows XP:
Log on to the computer running Windows XP with a user account that has local administrator privileges. Open a command prompt. From the Windows XP desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. At the command prompt, type: ipv6 install
For more information on IPv6, visit the site below:

ANOTHER WAY TO FIX IEXPLORER 6 SLOW PAGES LOADED.
Here's an easier way to get to index.dat file as addresse in another tweak submitted here.
1. click on Internet Explorer
2. go to to your root dir (usually C:)
3. open Documents and Settings folder
4. open "your username folder"
5. open UserData
6. **close IE if you have it open**
rename index.dat to index.old
logoff and log back on (don't need to restart) open up IE and go to a web page or site that always seemed to load slowly. It should load a lot more quickly now. NOTE. Always rename or backup .dat or other system files before deleting.
Disable Right Click!!
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserContextMenu"=dword:00000001
Enable Right Click!!
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserContextMenu"=dword:00000000
do u want to save entire Page For offline viweing??
Saving Web Pages with Internet Explorer 6
Occasionally, you may want to save an entire Web page on your computer (text, hyperlinks, graphics, and all). To save the Web page that currently appears in Internet Explorer, choose File-->Save As to open the Save Web Page dialog box shown in the following figure. Select the folder in which you want the page saved and then click the Save button.
After saving a Web page on your hard drive, you can open it in Internet Explorer and view the contents even when you're not connected to the Internet. If your motive for saving the Web page, however, is to be able to view the content when you're not connected to the Internet, you're better off saving the page as a Favorite marked for offline viewing. That way, you can decide whether you want to view other pages linked to the one you're saving and you can have Internet Explorer check the site for updated content.
You can also e-mail a Web page or a link to the page to a colleague or friend. To send the current Web page in a new e-mail message, click File-->Send-->Page by E-mail on the Explorer menu bar and then fill out the new e-mail. To send a link to the page instead, click File-->Send-->Link by E-Mail. To create a desktop shortcut to the Web page, click File-->Send-->Shortcut to Desktop.
Alternate trick
Before performing these steps you need to test your broadband speed you can test your speed at http://www.2wire.com/
The broadband connection speed can be increased by clearing the route from modem to server. Number of packets sent by modem to server should be increased.Internet speed can be increased by increasing more number of incoming and outgoing packets.The main reason why your internet connection is slow is because of harmful virus.If your system is infected with virus your number of incomming packets will be decreased.This leads to your slower internet speed.Internet speed can be increased by by clearing the route to the server.
This can be done by upgrading costly sofwares and hardwares.This will optimize your system speed.And Increase your system speed.Internet tweak is the best software which increases your system speed for further applications.Another software Windows power tools which makes windows faster and increases your internet speed.And decreases downloading time.It optimizes LAN,CABLE,DSN etc.Another software "internet cyclone"which increases your internet speed from 64kbps to 120kbps. This tip is designed for increased BROADBAND speed in Windows XP while using standard Network Interface cards (NIC) that are connected to ADSL modems, or when using any directly-connected USB ADSL modem.
To speed up the Internet connection speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the NIC or the USB modem. This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.
Step #1 - Identify the IRQ used by the NIC/USB modem
1. Open the System Information tool by running MSINFO32.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand System Summary > Hardware Resources > IRQs.
3. Look for the listing made for your NIC (in my case - a Intel® PRO/100+ Management Adapter). Note the IRQ next to the specified line (in my case - IRQ21).
In case of USB modems you will first need to find the right USB device used by your modem. Follow these steps:
1. Open the Device Manager tool by running DEVMGMT.MSC from the Run command (or by right-clicking My Computer > Hardware tab > Device Manager button).
2. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and expand it.
3. Right-click the USB Root Hub and select Properties. Note that you might need to do so for all listed USB Root hubs (if there are more than one) in order to find the right one.
4. In the Power tab, look for your USB ADSL modem.
5. In the Resources tab look for the assigned IRQ (in this case - IRQ21).
6. This is the IRQ we're looking for.
Note: IRQs and modem names might vary...
Step #2 - Modify the system.ini file
1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type IRQX=4096 where X is the designated IRQ number we found in step #1, in my case it's IRQ21.
Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!
5. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
6. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.

rename index.dat to index.old
logoff and log back on (don't need to restart) open up IE and go to a web page or site that always seemed to load slowly. It should load a lot more quickly now. NOTE. Always rename or backup .dat or other system files before deleting.

Saving Web Pages with Internet Explorer 6
Occasionally, you may want to save an entire Web page on your computer (text, hyperlinks, graphics, and all). To save the Web page that currently appears in Internet Explorer, choose File-->Save As to open the Save Web Page dialog box shown in the following figure. Select the folder in which you want the page saved and then click the Save button.
After saving a Web page on your hard drive, you can open it in Internet Explorer and view the contents even when you're not connected to the Internet. If your motive for saving the Web page, however, is to be able to view the content when you're not connected to the Internet, you're better off saving the page as a Favorite marked for offline viewing. That way, you can decide whether you want to view other pages linked to the one you're saving and you can have Internet Explorer check the site for updated content.
You can also e-mail a Web page or a link to the page to a colleague or friend. To send the current Web page in a new e-mail message, click File-->Send-->Page by E-mail on the Explorer menu bar and then fill out the new e-mail. To send a link to the page instead, click File-->Send-->Link by E-Mail. To create a desktop shortcut to the Web page, click File-->Send-->Shortcut to Desktop.
Alternate trick
Before performing these steps you need to test your broadband speed you can test your speed at http://www.2wire.com/
The broadband connection speed can be increased by clearing the route from modem to server. Number of packets sent by modem to server should be increased.Internet speed can be increased by increasing more number of incoming and outgoing packets.The main reason why your internet connection is slow is because of harmful virus.If your system is infected with virus your number of incomming packets will be decreased.This leads to your slower internet speed.Internet speed can be increased by by clearing the route to the server.
This can be done by upgrading costly sofwares and hardwares.This will optimize your system speed.And Increase your system speed.Internet tweak is the best software which increases your system speed for further applications.Another software Windows power tools which makes windows faster and increases your internet speed.And decreases downloading time.It optimizes LAN,CABLE,DSN etc.Another software "internet cyclone"which increases your internet speed from 64kbps to 120kbps. This tip is designed for increased BROADBAND speed in Windows XP while using standard Network Interface cards (NIC) that are connected to ADSL modems, or when using any directly-connected USB ADSL modem.
To speed up the Internet connection speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the NIC or the USB modem. This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.
Step #1 - Identify the IRQ used by the NIC/USB modem
1. Open the System Information tool by running MSINFO32.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand System Summary > Hardware Resources > IRQs.
3. Look for the listing made for your NIC (in my case - a Intel® PRO/100+ Management Adapter). Note the IRQ next to the specified line (in my case - IRQ21).
In case of USB modems you will first need to find the right USB device used by your modem. Follow these steps:
1. Open the Device Manager tool by running DEVMGMT.MSC from the Run command (or by right-clicking My Computer > Hardware tab > Device Manager button).
2. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and expand it.
3. Right-click the USB Root Hub and select Properties. Note that you might need to do so for all listed USB Root hubs (if there are more than one) in order to find the right one.
4. In the Power tab, look for your USB ADSL modem.
5. In the Resources tab look for the assigned IRQ (in this case - IRQ21).
6. This is the IRQ we're looking for.
Note: IRQs and modem names might vary...
Step #2 - Modify the system.ini file
1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type IRQX=4096 where X is the designated IRQ number we found in step #1, in my case it's IRQ21.
Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!
5. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
6. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.
