Optimizing Windows Speed


How to optimize the Windows performance by removing unwanted programs from startup using windows registry. Applicable to Windows XP, Vista, Windows 2000, windows 98 and windows server.
I will start hacking tips with a very useful and easy to do job. Most of us face this problem of computer slowing down; windows operating system takes ages to load when started, windows explorer hangs up and also how to find out whether your computer is infected.
Follow these steps:
1. Start and click on run in case of windows XP, Server, windows 98, and 2000 but in vista type directly in search box.
2. Type Regedit in the run box to open registry editor.
3. Go to file menu and click on export to create a back up of registry, save it on your drive other than your default windows directory.
Find out the current programs which are starting up with windows
After opening Registry editor click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software\
Microsoft\
Windows\
Current Version\
Run
You will see something like this on right hand pane in your registry editor
Now it’s time to get rid of the programs those slow down your operating system and possible may be a Trojan horse hiding in your hard disk.
Right click on any program to delete the entry, which you don’t want to be loaded during startup; personally I would only keep anti virus program entries.
Now you can repeat the same process with HKEY_LOCAL_USER entries and keep only Cftmon.exe for your computer sound to be working.
After deleting the unwanted program registry entries, restart the system and feel the difference in speed. If you are confused about which entries to be deleted from registry editor or want to know whether it’s a Trojan or useful program.

Protect Your Web Server From Hackers


Creating your own website is not simply about putting some pages and information online. Ensuring the security of your website is a bigger and highly crucial task. Most websites these days have a dedicated web server that gives them the leverage to grow and develop further. Basically the websites with a high volume of web traffic, a heavy database and complex application specifications require an exclusive web server. It is extremely important to hack proof your web server in order to protect your website and business.
There are a great number of hackers out there in the web world who are looking for opportunities to exploit your web server and cause serious damage. These hackers look to deface the websites with malicious content, use the scripts on the server to send out spam or phish out the personal sensitive information of the website users.
Such attacks also attempt to tamper with parameters and gain access to confidential files or cross-site scripting or cookie poisoning to alter the customer data. These kinds of invasions can prove to be fatal for e-commerce and finance based websites. To prevent your web server from falling prey to such web attacks, here are some important recommendations and anti hacking tips.You need to follow a two-pronged approach to safeguard your web server from any hackers.
The first layer is a firewall that exists to block any unwarranted unused Internet ports. A good firewall will use a rule based access system to allow only the legitimate users to enter and filter out as well as obstruct any malicious traffic from accessing the server. Also create strong passwords that use a combination of characters, numbers and special characters in order to keep the password hackers at bay.
The second element is to put in place an intrusion protection service. This is a more sophisticated approach to deal with hackers wherein you stop the illegitimate entry of users at the source itself. If a firewall works on the front line, an intrusion protection system works on the back end to deal with the enemies. This involves putting all the compromised hosts in the quarantine section and letting the genuine users move through efficiently. But setting up such an anti-hacking arrangement is only the first step. The hackers are moving fast and ahead with newer techniques to break into and sabotage the web servers. So, you need to continually update and monitor the filters, blacklists and all other aspects.

Improve Your Computer’s Performance


Tips for Speeding Up Your PC
Few things are as frustrating as dealing with a slow, sluggish computer. When a computer is brand new, it works wonderfully well. Over time, though, its performance can slowly begin to worsen.
This happens for a number of reasons, but the biggest culprits are things like spyware, adware and other computer threats that are unwittingly downloaded along with other content while online. You don’t have to download thousands of MP3s, movies or other items to experience these problems, either – nobody is immune to them. Instead of accepting the situation, there are plenty of techniques and strategies that you can use to make it better – a few of the best ones are outlined below.

 *1: Clean Your Computer’s Windows Registry

The biggest cause of slow, sluggish PC performance is errors and problems within its Windows registry. Adware, spyware and other threats usually target the registry, damaging or misplacing important files within it. When it comes to PC cleaning, a daily Windows registry cleaning should be at the top of your list of priorities. However, this should never be done manually – there are too many opportunities for major errors that could seriously damage your PC’s operating system. Instead, invest in a high-quality Windows registry cleanup program and configure it to run once per day – you won’t believe the difference that it makes.

*2: Remove Unneeded Files

Every time you log on to the Internet or otherwise use your computer, temporary files are generated. They are usually only needed once; however, they don’t disappear on their own. Instead, they accumulate over time until they are cluttering up your computer’s file system and affecting its performance. While it’s possible to remove these files one-by-one, it’s much easier and quicker to use a PC cleaning tool that’s designed for the purpose. Try to do so about one time per week to keep your computer humming along with ease.

*3: Remove Unneeded Programs

Like many people, you probably download and try out many different programs each month. How many of them do you actually end up using on a regular basis? Chances are, not very many of them. By getting into the habit of uninstalling unused and unneeded programs, you can keep your computer’s file system a lot less cluttered. In turn, your PC’s performance will improve dramatically. You can optimize your computer in this way by using its Add/Remove Programs feature. Its location varies by operating system, but you should be able to find it somewhere in the Control Panel.

*4: Empty the Recycle Bin

When you click “delete” on a file or a program, it doesn’t go away for good – not immediately, anyway. Instead, it sits in a kind of purgatory in your computer’s Recycle Bin. As things pile up in the Recycle Bin, your computer can start exhibiting some very annoying problems. If sluggish startups and frequent crashes are occurring with increasing frequency – and your computer’s recycle bin is very full – go ahead and empty it. From then on, get into the habit of doing so about one time per week. This small but important strategy can make a huge difference.

*5: Perform a Disk Defragmentation

Windows isn’t very efficient when it comes to storing files. It actually splits them up, depositing them into whatever spaces are available. The more spaced apart the pieces of a file are, the harder your computer has to work to make them run. The Windows disk defragmentation system tune-up utility works to piece all of those files back together again. The process is a long one, though, and only needs to be done about four times per year. Set it up to run automatically once every three months. By doing so, you’ll be able to keep your computer running in tiptop shape.
When it comes to keeping your computer running optimally, small but regular maintenance is the best way to go. Protecting your PC only does so much; even the most careful Internet users in the world unintentionally download malicious software from time to time.
By using basic system tune-up tools, cleaning your computer’s Windows registry regularly, performing regular file-cleaning maintenance and otherwise optimizing your PC, you should be able to keep it in like-new condition for a lot longer. Even if your computer has been performing slowly for some time, beginning this regimen is sure to produce results. In the end, you’ll be able to enjoy a computer that flies along – instead of one that spins its wheels.
