We have free antivirus with us and why do we want Online Virus removal tools?
The only answer I can give to faster internet connection users - If your Antivirus fails to remove a threat and you don't want to uninstall antivirus (which fails at removing threats since you trust it most). But these Online Virus scanners can be of a great a help for dial-up users. Since their internet speed is slow it takes hours to download an antivirus program and another hour to update that antivirus. These scanners are fast and the main advantage here is no need to wait for hours to download and update product, just install virus definitions and you are ready to remove threats. Many Online virus scanners just detect threats but don't remove them. But some will offer virus removing also and some popular online scanner and removal services are here.
1. TrendMicro Housecall :
First and foremost service I want to mention in this article is Housecall. Any infected items which are detected on your PC will cleaned.
Let's see the features of this free service :
• Virus removal
• Spyware removal
• Removes almost every type of malware
2. Bitdefender Online Scanner :
Bitdefender started this service just by offering Virus removal tools only. Prior to the latest version of virus scanner, Bitdefender didn't provide spyware cleaning tool. But the latest version provides cleaning of virus and spyware threats.
The only disadvantage with these online scanners is No Real time protection. Yes, they do not provide round the clock protection to you. This is major draw back. So I suggest you to use a antivirus. If you don't want to use a full featured antivirus, you can use a simple one like Threatfire. So don't alone rely on Online scanners, have a real time protection tool combined with online scanners.

Rating web hosting providers is one of the tough jobs on internet because day-by-day new web hosting domains are emerging and many are giving very attractive special offers. Once when I was searching for a domain I came across a site which says, Buy domain for one year and get another year free. Such web hosting domains do not succeed much. Because the quality of facilities they provide are not so good. I don't say that all domains which give special offers are worst but some web hosting people will give such offers without providing good facilities. So one has to search a lot and has to have a lot information with them before buying a website.
This is a tough job for a person to do. But all this hard work has already been done for all of us by web hosting. As the name says, "Webhostingrating" is a site which review the service of various web hosting domains and pick the best. There are many web hosting services today and Webhostingrating is always updated with new domains which are better than many services.
Webhostingrating gives a lot of information on each and every provider. Every year Webhostingrating give the top 6 web hosting services special awards. You can find many articles about web hosting domain services here, even if a provider who is not good overall and is best at one category then that information will be provided under articles.
One can compare web hosting providers based on many things, it can be money, service, space or traffic or any other, but you can find all this information at one place that is web hosting. So don't forget to check this site before going for a new domain, whether it is free or paid.

Antivirus protection is a must for every internet user. Now-a-days the use of computer has become a must. Computers have became a part of life style from our day-to-day tasks to our means of livelihood. For every person security is most important thing. The involvement of unnecessary people (hackers) in our work will lead to miserable conditions. This led to the development of security products. These security products prevent information theft and maintains privacy. It keeps you safe.
Many security programs are not free. At the same time many people cannot afford to buy security programs. This led to two things
- Piracy
- Free Security
Many Security vendors who offer free antivirus provides basic protection only. One free product will certainly not going to help you. You have to use a combination of free products to make sure that you are protected. This combination includes protection against Virus (antivirus), Spyware (antispyware) and hackers (Firewall). Today let us see the first category antivirus. Here you find some popular free products and their features. Check which product meets your requirement.

ANTIVIRUS... has became a must for any Computer user. Whether it is Windows, Mac, Linux or the other in fact every operating system has some flaws in it. Windows has more number of vulnerabilities and Linux has less, but every O.S has its own type of security problems. So an antivirus has became a must for everyone.
This is going to be time consuming article for readers, So at the beginning of this article I am telling you what we are not going to discuss.
- Finding best antivirus application.
- Comparison among present antivirus applications....
So if you are not concerned with above topics then please go on with this article. This article will guide you in choosing best antivirus.
The Best Antivirus has the following qualities :
1. Higher virus and spyware detection rate.
2. Lighter on system resources.
3. Very few false positives.
4. Compatible with Safe Mode.
5. Strong real time Protection.
The above are the characteristics of the best antivirus. Let's see these in detail.
1. Higher Detection Rate :
Everyone expect a 100% detection rate from an antivirus, but that's not the case with antivirus vendors. In fact no antivirus has a 100% detection rate (I say it's impossible to achieve). To be able to cure an infection or to prevent a virus attack, the antivirus has to have that virus definition with it. The antivirus can be effective only when the detection rate is higher, the higher the detection rate the higher the chance of preventing virus installation.
There are many antivirus testing labs around the globe. So let's take their help to see which antivirus provides the best protection against the former and also emerging antivirus. I suggest everyone to check these to services
1. VB100
These two are the antvirus testing agencies and have been there for a long time. They perform antivirus tests regularly and see how well each antivirus is performing. At present Avira, Kaspersky, NOD32... are having higher detection rates. To see how your antivirus has performed you can check here. To see the results of VB100 test you have to be registered. The registration is free, you can register here. So antivirus must have higher detection rate.
2. Light on System resources :
An antivirus has to make our computer experience more comfortable but shouldn't make a mess of our computers. Now-a-days the antivirus vendors are concentrating more on the style of the application but not the actual purpose. An antivirus has to eliminate threats. The look is not so important but the usability and protection is more important.
At present many antivirus are system hogs (not to mention their names it's going to be big list and more adding with their latest release). NOD32 is one such antivirus which lives on low system resources. So the second character of antivirus is it has to be light on system resources.
3. Very few false positives :
Not detecting is lot more better than giving a false positive. By this wrong information the user may lose some vital files. The best antivirus is that which doesn't give false positives. This cannot be possible, so you have to choose that one which gives very few false positives. VB100 gives information on false positives shown by an antivirus.
4. Compatibility with Safe Mode :
Antivirus has to work in safe mode. It has to be able to scan and remove threats in safe mode wether it is minimal or networking mode. Safe Mode is the ultimate solution for most of your virus problems. Many virus and spyware start themselves as processes when we start our system in normal mode. So even the Antivirus detects them it cannot remove them because their are presently under active state and cannot be ended. So for such virus and spyware safe mode is the only solution. In this safe mode antivirus will remove them perfectly. But the problem is only some antivirus products work in safe mode. For example, F-secure products wont work in safe mode. So you have to choose that antivirus which plays in safe mode.
5. Strong real time protection :
Almost every antivirus product is giving this Real time protection. This option will prevent any antivirus that's be installed. No problem here, since every antivirus product is offering real time protection but make sure this protection don't upset other applications. Choose that antivirus that has very less conflicts with others.
Before buying an antivirus or choosing among free you've to keep these in mind and you have to make your own protection suite (if you are going for free solution).
This is my opinion on the antivirus. You post your opinions on what qualities the antivirus must possess. You can also comment on this article if it is going to help you or not.

This week's featured freeware is BootSafe, a small but essential software for Windows users.
Do you have any problems booting into safe mode? Is your PC restarting momentarily during safe mode boot? Does your PC hang when booting into safe mode?...
Then BootSafe is the solution for all your booting problems. BootSafe will repair all your Safe Mode booting problems whether it can be minimal, networking or repairing Safe Mode.
BootSafe not only repairs your safe mode boot sector but also makes Safe mode easily accessible. Normally to boot into safe mode you have to restart your system, press F8, Select Safe mode among the options. So, windows requires you to do all this job in order to boot into safe mode. But with BootSafe you can access Safe Mode with a Single-click. BootSafe offers you options Safe Mode with networking, minimal and repair. So, to boot into safe mode you have to select an option and click reboot. That's it, no need of pressing F8 blah blah blah.... In this way BootSafe makes accessing Safe Mode very easy.
I recommend BootSafe for every windows user because, it not only makes booting simple and easier but it helps you prevent viruses and spyware. You may wonder how it helps you cure viruses. Yes, it definitely helps, because many Virus and Spyware will disable some system files by which you cannot boot into safe mode thus making your PC vulnerable to more threats. For example, If you are unable to remove viruses in normal mode then to remove them you must boot into safe mode. Only booting into safe mode can remove your threats. So, make sure your safe mode boot is working. If it's not repair now with BootSafe.
Download : BootSafe
BootSafe works with Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP (SP2, SP3).
Notes : Sometimes using BootSafe to boot into safe mode will make your login window disappear (if you are using password to your system). Then just type the password and hit enter. If this also doesn't work then press TAB, type in password and hit enter.

Today I downloaded Kaspersky Internet Security to see how good is it than the previous version. So, I downloaded it and started installation and I selected "Express Install" after that a window appeared telling that KIS install cannot go further because of this "Mcafee Internet Security with Siteadvisor 2008".
But actually Mcafee Internet Security is not installed. Kaspersky wrongly identifies Siteadvisor as Internet Security and do not install KIS on your system. So I uninstalled Siteadvisor because I was more curious about new KIS features. After uninstalling Siteadvisor I again tried to install KIS but it again shows you the same old story...
If you are facing this problem (like me) you have to follow these steps in order to install kaspersky.
Step1 : Uninstall Siteadvisor.
Step2 : Download Ccleaner and install it. After installing run Ccleaner to clean Registry errors and junk files.
Step3 : Select "RUN" from start menu and type in "regedit".
Step4 : Now go here "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SiteAdvisor" and delete siteadvisor Entry (Right click on it to delete).
Now the installation of Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 goes smoothly without any problem. After KIS is installed reboot your machine and you can install Siteadvisor.
Click here (Firefox , IE) to download latest Siteadvisor.

Pandora Radio station is free online Radio service which plays song that you love. Due to restrictions from RIAA it is forced to play other songs which are similar to your song. This is also good for music listeners as it makes us to listen new songs and new genres.
Pandora Radio is only available to United States listeners only. But everyone around the globe can listen to it by using proxies. Already I posted tutorial on how to use proxies (click here). So by using USA proxy we are gonna download these streams to our computer and listen to them when ever we want.
To download Pandora streams we are using Orbit. Let's start this tutorial.
Make sure you are using proxy.
Step1 : Signin to Pandora. If you don't have account then signup.
Step2 : Now type in the favourite song or artist in the search box and hit enter.
Step3 : Right click on the empty area of the pandora page and select "Grab Video by Orbit".
Step4 : Click create station, now a pop-up player will open and plays the song and similar songs.
Step5 : When the song starts playing open the Orbit Grab++ to find the URL of that song. There you can find entry with name "Access" which is a mov file.
Step6 : Now select it and start download.
Actually the song you just downloaded is Nero AAC encoded song. So just rename file extension .mov with .mp4. You can play it with almost any player which supports mp4 format. Have fun.

Symantec products are well known for their superior Protection features and the security it gives is fantastic. Now-a-days there are more concerns over the amount resources these products use. The Norton 2006, 2005... are system hogs and they use huge amount of system resources. But when Norton released their 2007 product everyone surprised because for first time Norton products are running efficiently without using too much resources. Symantec said they have re-engineered their product which runs lighter, faster and more secure tan before. Norton 2007 was a hit but Norton 2008 products have not performed that well as the previous one. So Norton is working again to make lighter products and now its 2009 products.
To download them go here, Select "Norton Internet Security" or "Norton Antivirus," Select your country and give your email and accept to "Terms and Conditions" and click "Continue." Norton 2009 beta will be mailed to your inbox.
Notes : There may some glitches in this product as it is beta product but don't worry the updates you get will solve them.

U
In today's world a home without a PC is rarely seen. Also a PC without any problem is also a rare case. Every PC owner have had problems like virus, spyware, slow system startup etc etc.. So to have trouble free PC many companies have tried and I can say they are successful at their work. Most of the companies will sell their software to users at certain price or even at a special discount offer. But many PC users think that there is no need to buy we can get them at some torrent site, so why buy? This kind of thinking is making them prone to more troubles not only with computer but also at society. It's illegal to steal somebody's software even a child knows that. OK let's not deviate this topic, let's go back to the original topic. So what are the most common problems that a PC user have.
- Internet Security
- PC maintenance (slow startup, non responsiveness...)
So the above problems are major ones and there are also many minor problems other than these. So let's find solution to these problems.
Internet Security : Let's consider the best Internet security suite Kaspersky. It will take care of most of the security vulnerabilities.
PC maintenance : This category can be subdivided into many categories. But let us consider two main things. Registry errors and junk file cleaner. Here my choice would be Registry mechanic and Privacy guardian.
Now let's calculate how much it costs to have a trouble free PC.
- Kaspersky Internet Security (upto 3 PC) - $79.95 or Rs.3500 ( may vary if there are special offers), So let's us assume that there's a special offer and you can get it at $59.9
- Registry mechanic - $24.5 or Rs.1100
- Privacy Guardian - $24.5 or Rs.1100
These are basic needs and it takes around $128.95 per annum.
But today we have a service from a Indian company Yuvayantra (A Tata Product) offers these products at unbelievable price. Let's see it
- Kaspersky Internet Security (upto 3 PC) - $22.4 or Rs.999
- Registry Mechanic - $11.2 or Rs.500
- Privacy Guardian - $11.2 or Rs.500
So you are getting the same products at a cost of $44.8 per annum, So you save around $84.15!!!. With this amount you can happily subscribe 6 months with Napster Unlimited service. Now you have a trouble free PC and also an entertainment machine for the same cost for which you are getting only trouble free PC if you buy them at official stores.
But this yuvayantra service is only for Indian customers. So if you too want to have this service then you can follow this guide to proxies and have this offer. Using an Indian proxy you can subscribe to this wonderful service.
Here are some more special offers that are offered at yuvayantra
- Spyware Doctor ($24.5) for only $11.5
- Onspeed Web accelerator ($47) for only $2
- Kaspersky Antivirus ($59.95) for FREE!!!
So subscribe now and cash this wonderful opportunity.

“Download manager for sites like Rapidshare, MegaUpload, etc.”
I just saw an interesting one at Yahoo! Answers which says "there is some program which is called universal down loader.its supposed to automatically put rapid share links so after one file finishes downloading another one file will start downloading automatically".
It's been real pain when downloading from file sharing sites except some to wait for some time, enter captcha correctly, and also you are not allowed to download files simultaneously and you have to wait for some time even to start a new download after completing a download. This is the way the file sharing sites frustrates their users and tend them to buy a premium account.
So this download manager makes everything that is told above except entering captcha. The only thing you are going to do is provide the download manager with a correct link. It automatically downloads files one after the other. It is configured to work with more than a hundred free hosting services, including the most popular ones like RapidShare, MegaUpload or YouSendIt. It can also be integrated into Firefox (with the FlashGot extension) and Internet Explorer, plus monitor the Windows Clipboard for copied download links.
Some other interesting features are compatibility with proxy servers, the ability to schedule tasks, support for remote control and automatic program updates. So give a try...
