We want to make that computer speed up, never loosen the battle against unwanted software! Should I Remove It? not only help you remove any program that is no longer simply a wave, but it also suggests you where you want to begin the extermination, with data coming from prior decisions taken by other users. What is eliminating the rest of the world on their PC?
I found Should I Remove It? mildly interesting this weekend, trying to give a respite to the disk operating system (which is now taking about 15 seconds to make my pitiful certain directories, say). Instead of being the typical uninstaller overwhelming with all the crap and crap that is on your computer, Should I Remove It? orders programs as the trend away from general users. If others choose to ignore these applications, you may also have to review its presence in your team.
Should I Remove It? it takes seconds to do a scan on the disks and display software uninstalled from what you have. Right here I disagree a bit, being that there is no possibility that it will remove uTorrent, or 7-Zip or JDownloader, sorry. The uninstall data rates and qualifications are supposed to come from a proprietary database, elections from the same program users. Neither this speaks volumes about the reliability of the references, what if you put 2 stars to 7-Zip and then removed it simply had no idea what it was?
If managing computer applications you come across something you do not know, clicking on the program will come to "What is this?" By the uninstall button, and send you to an external link with information on it quite varied, with statistical data and relevant information if you want to make a decision. For configurable options: nothing. Just set it to start once a month, check for updates and remind us that we could have things they do not really want to be there.
Should I Remove It? not searchable or has another use that as discussed above. On the upside, is a lightweight, low power and no additional installs unexpected, as it did Toolbar Cleaner, for example. The uninstall suggestions may serve more or less, depending on the case. Anyway, the concept is interesting. And it is definitely much more attractive to Add or Remove Programs. For Windows, from XP
The battle against malware continues, as our exploration of tools that could be helpful in fighting infections, but mainly to avoid them. More and more programs that integrate multiple security features in order to protect the computer, and ROBOSCAN is one of them. The program advertises itself as a "security package for Internet", and in addition to antivirus and antimalware capabilities, brings a firewall for those wishing to replace the solution on Windows.
I would imagine that every one of our readers have at hand a security solution to keep digital bugs when away from their computers, no matter what platform they use. In computer security there are no guarantees, but we must never cease to be alert. Anyway, always is an example that reminds me that the weakest link in computer security, the user is. The last system I should check in the week was full of strange and bars advertisements that nobody seemed to take over. There are very comprehensive security programs, but the conduct (or might say "self-preservation") at the computer user is also essential to avoid problems. Returning to the software, you probably can not convince you to change your current solution by a new one, but if you are exploring alternatives, or just need to assemble a computer antimalware software, you may want to check out ROBOSCAN.
ROBOSCAN offers several security modules, even in its ad-based free version. On the one hand has an antivirus and antimalware engine that can intercept threats in real time. Manual methods of analysis are divided into Fast, Basic and Advanced, each with a different depth level. ROBOSCAN can take care of yourself with a self-protection module, but can also do something similar in the installation of Windows, as it is able to check whether the operating system needs updates via Windows Update. It is also necessary to highlight the presence of a firewall. There are many users who are not convinced of the robustness of firewall available in Windows, and if you're one of them, you can turn on the ROBOSCAN (automatically disable the Windows firewall). ROBOSCAN announced in the Activity Center, and because of its many functions may not be convenient to install along with other similar programs. ROBOSCAN seeks to replace, not complement.
Perhaps what could be considered negative points are its size ROBOSCAN download (over 130 megabytes) and the delay in the first update (19 minutes!). Apparently its developers have not kept up firms into the executable, so you should find that ROBOSCAN update items that were about half a year old. If you want to use ROBOSCAN not put off updating because it is a good idea, especially when you have many associated functions. Beyond that, ROBOSCAN has not given us problems, we have not noticed that you consume too many resources, and delivers quite a change from an ad or two. Another option, if you need one.
After the uproar last week with the release of SkyDrive desktop application and the launch of Google Drive, Amazon seems to also want to join the party and has launched a desktop application for Windows and OS X. Unlike the rest of these services, no doubt inspired by the success of Dropbox and let you synchronize a local folder to the storage in the cloud, Amazon Cloud Drive only acts as a simple shortcut to upload to the cloud, but not synchronize.
That is, it is in the menu bar in the case of Mac and the notification center in the case of Windows and lets us from there and bypassing the browser upload our files. You can also open a new window directly and launch from there. It's no big thing but with 5GB of storage including default Cloud Drive can be a good alternative if you want a little extra storage in the cloud (and we are not lacking options) or to any backup point.
Heliatek, a German company, has developed a new type of flexible solar panel that uses materials and manufacturing processes very similar to those used in OLED displays. These panels, built from organic molecules deposited on polyester films can be transparent, which makes them suitable for application on window glass. Because they are thin and light enough to not be necessary to make major modifications to existing windows, you may become a viable alternative to traditional solar panels.
The generation of electricity from solar energy is a reality. Millions of people have small panels installed on roofs or terraces of their houses, and several countries (including Spain) have invested enough money in this technology for solar power plants are built. Still a long way to go, but at least we have begun to walk. Now, a German start-up has just developed a new type of solar panel based on organic molecules deposited on polyester films, a very similar technology which allows for OLED screens, very thin and light, which can also be transparent. This makes them especially suitable for application on window panes, making energy collectors without losing their original functions. Its performance is good enough so they can generate the same amount of electricity than a conventional solar panel.
The company in question is Heliatek, which is based in Dresden and gets its funding-about 28 million euros so far, from giants such as Bosch and BASF. It is making the new panels in small quantities, and hope to get another 60 million euros to build a new plant with greater capacity. Today, and especially manufactured in relatively small amounts, Heliatek panels are somewhat more expensive than conventional solar panels, but they are produced in larger quantities would lower the cost enough to the cost per watt generated is even less than that of a traditional panel. Thibaud de Séguillon, CEO of the company, believes that despite its high initial cost be able to sell enough of these panels as Heliatek to survive long enough to build the new plant and lower their prices. They bet on the advantages that give its light weight, flexibility and, above all, transparency. We also know that they are working with a construction company to integrate these solar panels on concrete blocks for the facades of buildings.
But the big bet is the incorporation of these panels in the windows. "It's like having tinted windows, only that they generate electricity," says Séguillon, which emphasizes that this system saves the cost to have the necessary hardware to secure traditional panels on a roof or terrace. A panel of Heliatek converts the 8 percent of the light energy into electricity, making them somewhat better than those polymers based solar panels (having from 3% to 5% efficiency), but lower than the classical silicon solar panels that use between 14% and 15% of light to electricity.
Windows 8 will feature some of the basic advantages of Windows 7, and one of them is to offer a way to install from a USB flash drive, or another type of flash memory that interface. The now classic USB Tool for Windows 7 that Microsoft launched in time compatible with the ISO Consumer Preview Windows 8, but if you prefer to use a solution created by a third party, here is Win8USB.
The convenience of installing an OS from a USB flash drive is great. If you have an installation disk, just enough to create an ISO image of the same hard disk, in order to preserve the original disc from scratches and dust. Linux distros have a good time supporting this kind of installation, but in the case of Windows, the process is "officially" in a certain way with Windows 7. Of course, there are different applications and guidelines that allow you to install other versions "pre-Windows 7" from a flash drive, but what really brings us here is the beta of Windows 8 . The official Microsoft tool to transfer an image of Windows 7 to a USB flash drive is compatible with the image of Consumer Preview Windows 8, but if for some reason you encounter a problem using it, you can use Win8USB.
The program requires virtually no instructions, because the process is that simple. Insert the USB flash drive that will copy the image (must be 4 GB or more), run the application in administrator mode, the flash drive specifies the drive within the program, go get the picture by specifying your route, check the box to format the flash drive (as a precaution, we recommend) and then click Create. The time it takes the backup process depends on several factors including the overall computer speed and write speed on the stick, but after several minutes you will receive a message that is now the "bootcode", indicating that everything was right.
As usual in these cases, it is likely that some users must disable your antivirus temporarily to allow the operation is completed smoothly. Those using Avira can come to receive an alert for a pendrive autorun.inf (this is normal), and as default, Avira blocks access to the file. Win8USB may interpret this as an error and stop copying altogether. Beyond that, the program delivers what it promises, does not require installation and is very light. In case you want to try Windows 8 on a netbook, or you have run out optical drive overnight (can happen, as we know), you know that there are tools that can get you as Win8USB trouble.
What was intended to go through a great marketing move by the company promoting Windows Phone has come into its opposite. The reason: a competition organized in a store in the U.S. where a moving company would face against any participant with Android. The final victory of a Samsung Nexus Galaxy finished with Microsoft denied the prize.
Occurred in Santa Clara and the media have echoed through the news blog of the youth who won the odd competition. Microsoft Store hosted a challenge believing that the company's OS was faster than Android. The game was to see how mobile widgets loaded faster 2 time in two different cities . The prize, a laptop valued at $ 1,000.
As Young explains in his blog, had to sign a waiver accepting that the company used a photo of him in their advertising. After the signing was in line at the "challenge". The user explains that carrying a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the latest Android OS via the network of Verizon Wireless.
Under competition, the young should take the phone off to begin the challenge:
When I get to the store employee of Microsoft with whom I was going to face the challenge communicating clearly explains that "the first time offering two different cities wins." I felt I had hit the jackpot because I had two installed widgets at startup time, one for my current location and one for Berkeley, and moreover my smartphone had no lockscreen .
Microsoft believed instead that started with an advantage because its Windows Phone also had the default widget setting.
The result once the competition began was that after three seconds the young man had won:
I pressed the power button on my phone and said "done" out loud. Without the default lock screen when you turn appeared directly the two widgets.
In contrast to Microsoft's cost a fraction of a second later as he had to do two things. The first was to light the screen ... and the second unlock the smartphone .
The response was unlikely the company had not won. Microsoft says the young man who was lost "because." After discussions with several employees of the store (we assume they did not expect the outcome), tells the young man was not showing the time of two cities in different states .
Not only that, after the "new" argument employees remind the young man who signed a picture with the advertising company. A sign that read: " My Android was beaten by a Windows Phone . "
Incredible but true. The young man just entering wondering the purpose of the "strategy" of Marketing. If the issue was to demonstrate the WP highlights of the results had not been ineffective. In any case challenges the company to a rematch at any time.
I would be happy to return at beating a Windows phone with my Android ...
