Increase your RAM and so system speed -SBX

1). Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents.

2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.

3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don’t use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar).

4). Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.

5). Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM.

In any multitasking system, minimizing an application means that it won’t be utilized by the user right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.

Facebook Top Spot In U.S. Display

Facebook's U.S. advertising revenue will total roughly $2.2 billion in 2011, displacing Yahoo Inc to collect the biggest slice of online display advertising dollars, according to a new study.
Facebook's U.S. advertising revenue will give it a 17.7 percent share of the market for graphical display ads that appear on websites, according to a report released on Monday by research firm eMarketer.
Last year Facebook had 12.2 percent share of the U.S. market.
The figures underscore the growing clout of Facebook, the world's No.1 Internet social network. It has seen its valuation soar to roughly $80 billion in recent transactions for its shares on the private markets and some investors anticipate it could have an initial public offering next year.
While Facebook has grabbed the top ranking, eMarketer analyst David Hallerman said the overall market for display ads, which include banner ads, video ads and Web page sponsorships, is growing robustly enough that it is benefiting numerous companies.
"It's not a zero sum game," said Hallerman, noting that the display advertising market is experiencing rapid growth as both big international brands and small, local businesses increasingly turn to the Web to reach consumers.
Internet companies such as Yahoo, Google Inc and Microsoft Corp are competing for those advertising budgets, while new players such as online coupon company Groupon are offering marketers alternatives to traditional online display ads.
Web portal Yahoo will grow its online display business in the U.S. by 13.6 percent this year, eMarketer said. But that will lag the overall U.S. display market's growth rate of 24.5 percent.
Google's revenue from U.S. display ads will total $1.15 billion in 2011, up 34.4 percent year-over-year.

Samsung Launches New Galaxy iPad

South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co launched an upgraded version of its Galaxy tablet in its lucrative home market on Wednesday, seeking to stem the runaway success of Apple Inc's iPad.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, the sequel of the 7-inch Tab introduced in October, is the latest push by the company to challenge the iPad. Apple's iPad sold 14 million units in the first half of this year, compared with analysts' sales estimates of about 7.5 million for the Tab for 2011, the iPad's biggest competitor.
"As our smartphone business grew very fast within a very short period of time, I believe it's just a matter of time for our tablet business to improve," J.K. Shin, head of Samsung' mobile division, told reporters.
Samsung has emerged as Apple's nearest rival in the booming mobile device industry as it leverages its cost competitiveness and access to chips and core tablet components.
It has sharply narrowed the gap with Apple in the smartphone market, but however remains a distant second in the tablet market, which Garner forecasts will surge to 108 million devices next year from an estimated 70 million in 2011.
The sale of the Tab in Korea is Samsung's fifth global launch after its U.S. debut a month ago and its sales kickoff in Indonesia, where the company says it commands a 65 percent market share. It has also launched the device in Italy and Sweden.
Pricing for the new product, slightly thinner and lighter than iPad 2, starts from $500 in the U.S. market, the same price as the iPad 2.
Blockbuster sales of the iPhone, iPad and strong Asian business again helped Apple crush Wall Street's expectations for its third-quarter results on Tuesday. Apple said concern over iPad 2 supply constraints eased and demand was still overstripping supply in some markets.
Samsung reiterated on Wednesday it aimed to boost tablet sales by more than five fold this year. It didn't provide specific numbers but analysts expect the company to have sold about 1.5 million units last year.

Certified Professional Hacker NxG

Certified Professional Hacker NxG

The Certified Professional Hacker NxG is a revolution in the field of information security training. It goes far beyond the usual courses that talk about the same old port scanning and vulnerability assessments. It goes deep down into the depths of networking, systems, web applications and actual exploitation. Here are top 5 reasons why the CPH NxG is the ideal choice in comparison to other ethical hacking courses.

Training executed completely by practitioners and led by our Principal Consultant and well-renowned information security expert – K. K. Mookhey
Coverage of the latest trends in information security – Advanced Persistent Threats, SCADA Hacking(analysis of Stuxnet), and Mobile Hacking
Heavy focus on practical aspects and usage of tools and toolkits such as Backtrack, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Kismet, Air-crack Ng,
Case studies and real-life examples to explain key concepts
The entire training program is designed by our Principal Consultant Mr. K K Mookhey, and we can assure you that it is aimed specifically to make you an expert in ethical hacking and a much sought-after security analyst.

Why should you attend this course?

You've heard of courses that claim to make you an ethical hacker, but what's the definition of a 'hacker'? A 'hacker' is someone who goes into the depths of any system, and tries to understand how things actually work, not just someone who runs a bunch of scripts from the Internet to try and break into systems.

One of the greatest USPs of the CPH course is that it is built by experts who do penetration testing on a regular basis. Led by K. K. Mookhey, who is the founder of one of India's leading information security firms - Network Intelligence. He has authored books on Linux Security and Metasploit Framework, and numerous articles on securityfocus.com, and other sites. He has presented at prestigious conferences such as Blackhat USA, Interop, IT Underground, and others. Read hisfull profile here.

Also, since it is built by practitioners in the field, it also happens to be regularly updated with the latest tools, techniques, and real-world scenarios.

In fact, the lab setup for the course itself is the single-most important reason to attend the course. Where else can you actually launch attacks, see the packet flows, analyze them, tweak your attacks, and get to break into systems that have been set up to create levels of challenges and hone your skills.

Who should attend this course?

Anyone looking to build a career in information security, or if you're someone who's already in this field, but want to learn the professional concepts of hacking, then this is the course for you. It simply will not get more practical and more hands-on than this. Instead of burdening you with a huge amount of courseware, and hundreds of tools, the CPH course focuses on the real-world practical tools and techniques of hacking.

What is the CPH NxG Mailing List?

The CPH Mailing List is a members-only, by-invitation mailing list, where all Certified Professional Hackers discuss the latest happenings in the information security world, and exchange news about tools and techniques. Membership to this list is available only to those members who successfully complete the CPH course and clear the test.

How do I get certified?

On the 5th day of the training, there will be a 60 question multiple-choice test. You may refer to the notes during the test. Scoring more than 60% on the test and practical exam assures you of the CPH NxG certificate.

Why is the hard disk drive the C: drive?

Question
Why is the hard disk drive the C: drive?

Answer
On IBM compatible computers running a Microsoft operating systemsuch as Windows or MS-DOS, the default hard disk drive is the C: drive because it is the first available drive letter for hard disk drives. The computer assigns the A: and B: drives to floppy disks and sometimes other removable media such as tape drives. As you install other hard disk drives, create new partitions, and add other drives such as CD-ROM or DVD drives, they will be assigned to other drive letters after C, such as D, E, F, G, etc.
For example, most computers today come with a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, and CD-ROM drive or CD-R / DVD drive. With this commonconfiguration, your floppy disk drive would be assigned to the A: drive, your hard disk drive would be assigned to the C: drive, and your CD or DVD drive would be assigned to the D: drive.

How to recover missing, lost, or deleted files.

Issue

How to recover missing, lost, or deleted files.

Cause

Lost files can occur because of any of the below possibilities.

File was mistakenly deleted.
File was corrupt and deleted by scandisk.
Another program deleted the file.
File is password protected.

Solution

Before reviewing the below recommendations and suggestions, verify that the files have actually been deleted; in some cases the files may have been moved. You can search the hard disk drive for the files you believe to be missing by running find or search on the computer.

Recover file from backup

If the file has been backed up to floppy disk or other medium it is recommended that the file be restored from that backup if the file cannot be found.

Restore from Recycling Bin or Trash

If you are running Apple MacOS, Microsoft Windows 95, NT, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, or later operating system and the file has been recently deleted it is possible that the file may still be in the Trash or Recycle Bin. If present within this area it can be recovered.

Recovering a deleted file from the Windows Recycle Bin.

Download freeware program or purchase a program

Below is a list of freeware file recovery programs that can be used freely to recover lost data.

In addition to the above freeware programs there are also several companies who have created programs designed to recover your lost data. For example, PowerQuest makes the utility Drive Imagethat in some cases can be used to recover data from a hard drive.

Utilize a service from a company that specializes in recovering lost data

Utilize the service of a local data recovery company or an out of state data recovery company. One word of caution is that these services can sometimes be very expensive. It is only recommended they be used if the data is extremely important. Below is a listing of a few major data recovery companies.

There are also several companies that specialize in the service of recovering files or documents that are password protected. Below is a listing of some of the companies that provide this service.

My computer is running slow what steps can I do to fix it?

Issue

My computer is running slow what steps can I do to fix it?

Cause
This issue can be caused by any of the below possibilities.

Not enough hard disk space.

Left over programs and bad files.

Data Corruption.

Missing Windows updates / Outdated drivers.

Corrupt OS.

Bad Hardware.

Solution
Below are steps for Microsoft Windows users that should help speed up the computer or determine why the computer is running slow.

Reboot
If your computer has not been reboot recently make sure to reboot it before following any of the below steps.
Not enough hard disk drive space
Verify that there is at least 200-500MB of free hard disk drive space. This available space allows the computer to have room for the swap file to increase in size as well as room for temporary files.
Determining available hard drive space.

Regaining computer hard disk drive space.

Hard drive corrupted or fragmented
Run ScanDisk or something equivalent to verify there is nothing physically wrong with the computer hard disk drive.

Run Defrag to help ensure that data is arranged in the best possible order.

Background programs
Remove or disable any TSRs and startup programs that automatically start each time the computer boots.
To see what programs are running in the background and how much memory and CPU they are using open Task Manager. If you are running Windows 7 run Resmon to get a better understanding of how your computer is being used.
If you've got an anti-virus scanner on the computer, spyware protection program, or other security utility make sure it's not scanning your computer in the background. Often when these programs begin to scan the computer it can decrease the overall performance of your computer.
Scan for malware
Today, spyware and other malware is a big cause of many computer problems including a slow computer. Even if an anti-virus scanner is installed on the computer we recommend running a malware scan on the computer. Use the free version ofMalwarebytes to scan your computer for malware.
Hardware conflicts
Verify that the Device Manager has no conflicts. If any exist resolve these issues as they could be the cause of your problem.

Update Windows
Make sure you have all the latest Windows updates installed in the computer.

If you are on the Internet when your computer is slow also make sure all browser plugins are up-to-date.

Update your drivers
Make sure you've got the latest drivers for your computer. Especially the latest video drivers. Having out-of-date drivers can cause an assortment of issues.
Computer or processor is overheating
Make sure your computer and processor is not overheating, excessive heat can cause a significant decrease in computer performance some processors will even lower the speed of the processor automatically to help compensate for the heat related issues.
What temperature should my processor be running at?

Dust, dirt, and hair can also constrict a proper air flow on your computer, which can also cause a computer to overheat. Make sure your computer case is clean and fans are not obstructed.
Steps on cleaning your computer.

Memory upgrade
If you've had your computer for more than one year it's likely you're computer is not meeting the memory requirements for today. Today, we suggest at a minimum the computer have 1GB of memory.
Determining how much RAM is installed and available.

Specific operating system basic troubleshooting
Basic Microsoft Windows XP troubleshooting.
Basic Microsoft Windows 2000 troubleshooting.
Basic Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 troubleshooting.
Basic Microsoft Windows ME troubleshooting.
Basic Microsoft Windows 98 troubleshooting.
Basic Microsoft Windows 95 troubleshooting.
Basic Microsoft Windows 3.x troubleshooting.
Or go through the other basic troubleshooting steps.
Run registry cleaner
We normally do not recommend registry cleaners. However, if you have followed all of the above steps and your computer is still slow try running a registry cleaner on the computer.
Erase computer and start over
If none of the above solutions resolve your issues, it is recommended that you either reinstall Windows or erase everything and then start over.
Old computer
If your computer is older than five years come to terms that it is likely the age of the computer that is causing it to be slow. Computers progress at an alarming rate as new programs and updates for programs come out their minimum requirements increase and will cause older computers to slow down. If your computer is older than five years we suggest purchasing a new computer or just realize it is going to run slow because it is old.
How often should I buy a new computer?

Hardware issues
Finally, if your computer continues to be slow after going over each of the above recommendations it's possible that your computer is experiencing a more serious hardware related issue such as a failing component in the computer. This could be a failing or bad hard drive, CPU, RAM, motherboard, or other component.

How much is 1 byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, etc.?

Below is a listing of each of the commonly accepted disk drive space values. It is important to realize that not all manufacturers and developers use these values. For example, a manufacturer may consider a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 and not 1,073,741,824 bytes, we've listed the commonly accepted values in their binary base 2 values.

Note: All values expressed below are whole numbers. This means that a GB may show that it can only contain one 650MB CD but in reality 1GB could hold 1.5753... of a 650MB CD. Since we've created this document to illustrate how much each value can contain in whole, no decimal values are shown. In other words you can only fit one complete 650MB CD on a 1GB drive since two 650MB complete discs would exceed 1GB.
