Your computer may have slowed down because of a virus/spyware. Thats a legitimate reason and you have recommendations for other software so, I tackled the other reasons.

However, there are many other reasons why your computer have slowed down. Usually slowdown occurs do corrupted registry and lack of maintenance such as cleaning your cache and

defragging your hard drive. You should perform a scan of your registry. If you receive more than 30 errors, this is the reason why you have slowdown. Also defrag your hard

drive to speed your CPU access time when searching for files. Also managing your startup programs should help to give you back some of your speed.

10 Simple tips to bring computer to normal state when it freezes or hangs up

computer to normal state when it freezes or hangs up
Sometimes when you are in the middle of someting and suddenly your computer hangs or freezes. You are left with no other option than to restart your computer directly. But the only problem is, you have not saved your work! Don’t panic! There is a solution for that! And you can surely save your file! Here’s how:

First keep on pressing "Num Lock” key until your Operating system is back to normal state. This releases the processor from any busy process. If this doesn’t work then follow the below ten tips to bring you computer back to normal state when it is struck.

1. Click on "ctrl-alt-delete” keys. The windows task manager will then open, click on all programs that you don’t need and end the task. You will see that all programs on your taskbar will close one by one. If this will resolve the issue! – then save!

tip# 1: if you’re working on an MS Office application, it will automatically save your file in case the programs suddenly shut down
tip# 2: always save your file at least every 2 minutes by just simply clicking on the "diskette icon”— its just one click!)

2. If it did not resolve the issue, are there some users logged on that computer? If so, go to switch user (for XP) and log off that user, go back to your log on screen and log on again. The reason the computer hang up is because if there are many open programs and applications, these retains in the memory, if it is too much for the memory to handle, it freezes! Another reason too the computer hang up is because if you are connected to the internet via dial up, and you are running too many applications and opening many websites. So I suggest, if you are multimedia user or a heavy internet user, then you are better off with a higher memory, at least 512Mb of memory. There are simple ways to avoid computer to freeze or hang up:

3. Clean your history at least once a week >tools>internet options>clear history. I normally set my history to "0”, meaning, when I restart my computer, it doesn’t save history pages that I have visited

4. Delete all internet temporary files >tools>internet options>delete files (do the "offline” content too!)

5. Delete cookies (some do not do this, but I do delete cookies at least once a week!) >tools>internet options>delete cookies

6. Remove unnecessary programs that you no longer use they are just occupying space and memory! >control panel>add/remove programs

7. Do defragmentation at least once a week >point the mouse to "start” button, then right click "explore”>right click the mouse pointing to drive C (which is usually the main system logical drive) >properties>tools>defragment now

8. You can also check the logical drive’s volume for errors >point the mouse to "start” button, then right click "explore”>right click the mouse pointing to drive C (I repeat, is usually the main system logical drive) >properties>tools>check now

9. It is better to have only one user being logged on. Even if there are many users, make sure the user logs off after using the computer, rather than keeping it logged on and you do the switching of users. Switching users is good as long as you don’t keep all users logged on—I think that is more logical

10. Always shut down properly the computer (do NOT use the power button when turning it off!

How To Ignore All Facebook Apps Requests in One Click

One of the major complaints about Facebook is the Application Request Queue that keeps getting longer and longer unless your religiously hit the "Ignore" button each time there’s a request from a friend to add a new Facebook application.

At the time of writing, there were as many as 620 invitations in my Facebook Inbox for various Facebook Applications and clearing this queue would have taken days as I would press the Ignore button exactly 620 times.

Fortunately, there’s a very elegant solution available now in the form of a bookmarklet for IE and Firefox that will completely erase all Facebook application requests in one click.

Right-click the link below and select "Add to bookmarks/favorites" or drag it

IGNORE ALL!
- to your bookmarks/favorites of your browser and when looking at your facebook application requests page just click on it and all ignore buttons will be clicked at once! Believe it or not, it works like magic. This simple Javascript removes only the Facebook Apps requests - if you have any pending friend requests or event/group invitations, they’ll stay unaffected.

How To Turn Off Autoplay

Autoplay play feature is not only available in CD drives, but also in the flash drives and external hard drives that you connect to your PC. In any case your external drives or CDs or flash drives are infected with virus, spywares or malwares, then chances are there that your PC could also be infected with the autoplay feature. Best way to combat this issue is to disable autoplay on all your system drives.

To disable autoplay on all drives, best method is to change it through Group Policy Editor. In order to do this, you have to perform the following steps:

1. At first, click on the Start button of your Windows XP OS and then click Run from the right side menu
2. Then type gpedit.msc and press enter.
3. A window will be popped up immediately titled "Group Policy" editor.
4. Navigate to: Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System.
5. Then click on the System. In the right panel, when you scroll down a little bit, you will find "Turn off Autoplay", Just double click on it.
6. A new window will be popped up titled "Turn off Autoplay Properties". Now, select enabled and choose All drives from the drop down list and then click OK button.

That's it. Now autoplay feature has been disabled on All drives which you connect to your PC.
