The Sneakiest Software

4986322359 608f6df4dd m The Sneakiest Software
by AdminGreen

Adware is, by definition, something reasonable people don’t want on their computers. That’s why malware can’t just come out and ask people to install it. Often, the computer owner is completely unaware of it being installed. But not always.

When adware doesn’t want to sneak in through an open window, it will try to trick you into letting it in through the front door. Don’t think you could be tricked? Don’t be so sure until you’ve checked out these most common ways people have been tricked into allowing malware to be installed on their machines.

Adware Installation Trick 1: Piggybacking

• How it works: malware may come bundled with a legitimate piece of software the user actually wants, such as a game or emoticon. The malware is merely labeled “companion software,” without any indication of what it will do.

• How to fight it: be very suspicious of any software that comes bundled with other software. Don’t installed software that comes bundled with other software unless you know everything that the bundled software does. After all, if the bundled program has anything to do with the program you actually want, why couldn’t the software developer just get both programs’ functionalities into a single piece of software? Software developers are now very sensitive to malware concerns and will provide a lengthy explanation of just why the bundled software is necessary, in the cases when they actually do need to use bundled software.

Adware Installation Trick 2: Bait and Switch

• How it works: since people are getting more and more suspicious of bundled software, the malware’s developers may simply label it as valuable software, for instance, a browser plugin that supposedly accelerates web browsing (but in reality only shows ads).

• How to fight it: again, a suspicious mind is useful in avoiding malware.

Ask yourself some questions:

o What will this software actually do? Malware often comes with very fuzzy claims attached. Sure, it says it will improve your browsing experience, but how? Often, this improved browsing experience just means a browsing experience with more advertising.

o If the software is so great, why is it being given away free? Most commonly, software is only given out free in two cases: if it’s OpenSource (designed by a community of developers and not proprietary–OpenSource software is always clearly labeled as such); or simply a come-on for a fuller-featured version of the software. If neither case is true, there’s a real chance the software is financed by adware.

Adware Installation Trick 3: Outright Lying

• How it works: malware may even be labeled as something else entirely, such as a well-known piece of software or a crucial component of the computer operating system.

• How to fight it: this is the trickiest malware of all, and requires extreme caution. You don’t want to start deleting any of your program files, much less your system registry entries, unless you’re absolutely sure it’s malware. Plenty of overzealous parasite hunters have shot their own machines to bits this way. This is one case where you want to be using an anti-spyware program, and preferably a second anti-spyware program to provide a second opinion.

Getting Rid of Adware

Adware is so tricky that trying to uninstall it by yourself could be like a trip into the Matrix. Luckily, there are good anti-spyware programs that tackle adware as well–after all many adware programs are also spyware since they monitor your internet usage.

True, it may feel like adding insult to injury to have to install more software to get rid of software you never meant to install in the first place. But sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire.

Computer Clean Up Software

7528342192 cb5f43e4db m Computer Clean Up Software
by MSP Social Media Team

Doing a simple search on the Internet for Computer Clean Up Software yields dozens of programs, some freeware, some shareware and others commercially available. But what is best for your machine? Trying to decipher the myriad of choice can be an arduous task. Maybe you go with one recommended by a friend or colleague. There are also reviews online touting one product over another. The key is to find out what works with your particular machine that fits your price range.

Now there are some things that you can do to help clean up your computer. If you are computer savvy, chances are that you will be able to successfully remove some of the malware that affects your machine. However most experts draw the line against trying to optimize the registry by yourself. This heartbeat of the PC is responsible for all of the programs and how they are inter-linked. Making a mistake here can result in a system crash with the dreaded Windows “Blue Screen of Death” making an infamous appearance. You don’t want to mess with the registry.

When considering a Software program to help clean up your computer, find out if it does a deep scan of the registry, removing all links from deleted programs, leftover DLL files and corrupted entries that are no longer needed. By performing tasks such as these, the registry is free to function on what is important on your computer — the operating system. A good registry cleaner will make the computer function like it is brand new.

A final consideration is the price. There are many programs designed to clean up the computer, but remember the old axiom: You get what you pay for. This doesn’t mean that the most expensive is the best, but rather a rule of thumb when considering all of the factors that help you to make a decision.

Good Luck.

Hardware Redundancy – Server Hardware

5873428737 070b47d3a1 m Hardware Redundancy Server Hardware
by Cyberslayer

Server hardware has got to be very dependable and durable as these pieces of equipment frequently run for lengthy intervals of time without interruption. Servers can be built with higher-capability hard drives, uninterrupted power supplies to make sure their function in any event of a power crash and even larger computer fans or water cooling units to help do away with excess heat. These types of higher performance components present an enhanced reliability at an increased cost.

Hardware redundancy refers to installing more than one module like hard disks and power supplies. This is sometimes done in case one fails; another is immediately accessible enabling system reliability to be maintained. Yet another traditionally used item is ECC memory devices that detect and repair errors. Making use of a non-ECC memory is more likely to result in information corruption. Since web servers are generally supervised by competent engineers, their systems are more tuned for performance and stability rather than user friendliness and ease of use.

Servers need to have a constant power source and good access to the web in order to function at optimum capacity. According to Continuidad De Negocios, they are typically saved in a committed server center or a special room so as to limit power consumption as extra energy used generates more heat. If the temperatures in the area exceeds the acceptable limitations, the server could suffer a crash. It is typical to have air conditioning units installed in server rooms for that reason.

Hosting server casings are generally broad and smooth and in a position to be stacked next to each other in a hosting server rack. Web servers can commonly be powered top to bottom, configured or remotely rebooted unlike regular computers.

Frequently, servers do extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification, along with startup of remote administration services. This means some servers take an extended time for the hardware to boot up and load the operating system. In order not to overload the power resource with startup surges, the hard drive controllers start up banks of hard disks sequentially, rather than all at one time. Soon after, they start RAID system pre-checks to make sure correct operation of redundancy. Although they could be considered time-consuming, these security features are designed for the advantage of the entire system.

GENERATIONS OF COMPUTERS

169885320 d05252fa90 m GENERATIONS OF COMPUTERS
by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)

The Five Generations of Computers

 

The history of computer development is often referred to in reference to the different generations of computing devices. Each generation of computer mischaracterized by a major technological development that fundamentally changed the way computers operate, resulting in increasingly smaller, cheaper, and more powerful and more efficient and reliable devices. Read about each generation and the developments that led to the current devices that we use today.

First Generation – 1940-1956: Vacuum Tubes

The first computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry and drums for memory, and were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. They were very expensive to operate and in addition to using a great deal of electricity, generated lot of heat, which was often the cause of malfunctions. First generation computers relied on language to perform operations, and they could only solve one problem at a time. Input was based on punched cards and paper tape, and output was displayed on printouts. The UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. The UNIVAC was the first commercial computer delivered to a business client, the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951.

Second Generation – 1956-1963: Transistors

Transistors  replaced vacuum tubes and ushered in the second generation of computers. The transistor was invented in 1947 but did not see widespread use in computers until the late 50s.

The transistor was far superior to the vacuum tube, allowing computers to become smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficientand more reliable than their first-generation predecessors. Though the transistor still generated a great deal of heat that subjected the computer to damage, it was a vast improvement over the vacuum tube. Second-generation computers stillrelied on punched cards for input and printouts for output. Second-generation computers moved from cryptic binary machine language to symbolic, or assembly, languages, which allowed programmers to specify instructions in words. Languages were also being developed at this time, such as early versions of COBOLandFORTRAN. These were also the first computers that stored their instructions in their memory, which moved from a magnetic drum to magnetic core technology.The first computers of this generation were developed for the atomic energyindustry.

Third Generation – 1964-1971: Integrated Circuits

 

 The development of the circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers. Instead of punched cards and printouts, users interacted with third generation computers through keyboards and monitors and interfaced with anoperatingsystem, which allowed the device to run many differentapplicationsat one time with a central program that monitored the memory. Computers for the first time became accessible to a mass audience because they were smaller and cheaper than their predecessors.

Fourth Generation – 1971-Present: Microprocessors

The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip. What in the first generation filled an entire room could now fit in the palm of the hand. The Intel4004 chip, developed in 1971, located all the components of the computer – from the central processing unit and memory to input/output controls – on a single chip .In 1981 IBM introduced its first computer for the home user, and in 1984 Apple introduced the Macintosh. Microprocessors also moved out of the realm of desktop computers and into many areas of life as more and more everyday products began to use microprocessors. As these small computers became more powerful, they could be linked together to form networks, which eventually led to the development of the Internet. Fourth generation computers also saw the development of GUIs, themouseandhandhelddevices.

Fifth Generation – Present and Beyond: Artificial Intelligence

Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial, are still in development, though there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used today. The use of processing and superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a reality. Quantumandmolecular and nanotechnology will radically change the face of computers in years to come. The goal of fifth-generation computing is to develop devices that respond to language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.

Portal about Engineering in Computer Science/Information Technology programs at Cnam Liban

Continuing education is an all-encompassing term within a broad spectrum of post-secondary learning activities and programs. The term is used mainly in the United States and Canada. Recognized forms of post-secondary learning activities within the domain include: degree credit courses by non-traditional students, non-degree career training, workforce training, formal personal enrichment courses (both on-campus and online) self-directed learning (such as through Internet interest groups, clubs or personal research activities) and experiential learning as applied to problem solving.

Cnam Liban is the first and unique university in Lebanon dedicated to adult and continuing education.

The Cnam Liban stress on lifelong learning for everyone, by everyone we mean age, economic status, capabilities,…

Lifelong learning is the continuous building of skills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual. It occurs through experiences encountered in the course of a lifetime. These experiences could be formal (training, counseling, tutoring, mentorship, apprenticeship, higher education, etc.) or informal (autodidacticism, life experience, etc.) Lifelong learning, also known as LLL, is the “lifelong, voluntary, and self-motivated” pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. As such, it not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development, but also competitiveness and employability.

Lifelong Learning is the provision or use of both formal and informal learning opportunities throughout people’s lives in order to foster the continuous development and improvement of the knowledge and skills needed for employment and personal fulfillment.

It shares mixed connotations with other educational concepts such as Adult Education, Training, Continuing Education, Permanent Education and other terms that relate to learning beyond the formal educational system. In the African context, Lifelong Learning may refer to an individual’s continuous acquisition of knowledge and skills over time and the ability to pass them on to others in a manner that is understood. The ability to pass this knowledge and skills on from one person to another is very important.

Nearly 4000 people enrol each year in our professional and management development programmes. 3500 students are currently studying  for undergraduate, graduate or engineering degrees. Among the 1000 people employed by “the Cnam Liban” 17 are full-time professors or researchers. 700 associate professors or professionals teach at the Cnam Lebanon.

As is the case for all higher education institutions, the Cnam also has a mission to undertake research projects. The Cnam employs 25 recognised research teams and 290 teaching researchers assisted by research engineers and technicians. 

As a major scientific institution, the Cnam Liban has a mission to raise awareness of scientific and technological culture and to give everyone an access to knowledge through its rich and varied resources.

Supervised by the Lebanese University and The Cnam Paris, the Cnam Libanon is a semi-Public Scientific, Cultural and Professional Institution.

Introduction to Cycle Computers

3667594122 989148aec1 m Introduction to Cycle Computers
by kodomut

Like you, most keen cyclists like to know the following information when they are out cycling: How fast am I going? How far have I been? And how long did it take me? As well as this basic data cycle computers can give details of average speed, cadence, temperature, heart rate, etc.

All bike computers work in the same way, you attach a magnet to a spoke on the front wheel and as the wheel rotates a sensor that is mounted on the front fork counts how fast the wheel is turning. When the wheel size is configured in the computer, it can then calculate how fast you are going and how far you have been.

Cycling computers can either be wired or wireless. The majority of computers these days are wireless and this makes the installation easier. The wireless sensor is still fitted on the bike fork, but the data is transmitted wirelessly to the computer unit on the handlebars.

Which cycle computer show I buy? Well like with most cycling accessories, there are computers to fit any wallet. From ones at under £25 that give you current speed, distance, stopwatch etc. to ones over £100 that also give you monitor your heart rate and your cadence (number of times the pedals rotate). Beyond this you can spend well over £150 and get a unit that also has GPS, this will also enable you to plot your route on your computer back home.

Above £400 you can also get sophisticated cycle power meters, that record the power in watts that is produced when cycling. These are for the budding professional racer, and come with a special hub that has to be used to record the data.

So to recap when buying a Cycle Computer make a list of the data that you’d like to be able to view on your rides.

Work out your budget. Decided whether you want a wired or wireless system.

Looking for a wide selection of cycle computers? Look no further! Find cycle computers and other cycle clothing and accessories at pro-cycling.co.uk.

Cloud Computing : An Overview

102653987 d2705723aa m Cloud Computing : An Overview
by Scott Beale

Gone are the days when IT companies spent huge capital on IT infrastructure. Cloud computing proves to be a great boon to companies having limited IT infrastructure.

Cloud computing is a computing environment where application software services and computing needs are outsourced by business owners to a third party, and when they or their employees want to use the computing power or application resources, like databases, emails, etc., they access them via Internet.

Why cloud computing?

Suppose you are a senior executive in a corporation; one of your responsibilities will be to ensure your employees have the correct software and hardware to do their daily work. A onetime investment of buying computer machines is not enough; you will also have to purchase software and their licenses. Now if you have a new hire in your team, then you will have to buy new software and licenses for the new team member or make sure current license allows another user. It will become very costly to purchase new software over and over again, often times in a very short time window.

The solution to the problem is to install an application that will allow all employees to log into a Web-based service which hosts the required programs. The remote machines of the company hosting cloud computing will run anything from an email and word processing to a complex data analysis programs; this is called cloud computing, and soon it is going to change the way how everyday work is carried on in the IT industry.

Cloud Computing Architecture

Cloud computing can be divided into two sections: the front end & the back end.

Both of these ends can be connected through a network; usually, it is the internet. The front end is basically what the computer user or client sees, and the back end is the whole cloud system.

The front end consists of client’s computer machine and the application which is required to access cloud system. All computing systems do not have the same user interface. Services, like a web email, use web browsers, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc., to access the cloud system; the other systems have unique applications to provide services to their clients.

The back end consists of different type of computers, servers and data storage systems that are responsible for creating the whole cloud computing system.

The whole task of monitoring systems, traffic and client requests are carried by a central server and it ensures that everything runs smoothly. This central server follows a set of rules and uses a special type of application known as “Middleware”. All communication between the networked computers is facilitated by middleware.

If a cloud computing company has many clients, there will be a huge demand for a lot of storage space. The cloud computing systems require at least twice the amount of storage media it will need to store the client’s information. This is because a cloud computing system makes a copy of their client’s information and stores them in a separate device; therefore, the central server can access data from backup machines in case the primary storage machine is unreachable.

Conclusion

Experts say that desktop machines will become redundant soon; the future will be of a hybrid life where some computing function will remain in personal computers and the remaining will be carried on by the cloud system.

 Cloud Computingand Cloud Testing has begun to win the trust of people by becoming more secure and reliable; people have started to put their information at remote locations. The cloud has become a reality for companies that have transferred their least critical portion of services and infrastructure. Cloud Testing is being the other new dimension where companies are getting benefited.

Purchasing A PC Game

by muggy

The use of the computer is now quite varied, from the primary complex mathematical calculations that it was built to tackle, to the most frequent use for entertainment at present. The continuing development of the computer gaming sector was in its first days quite slow with minimal popularity, but in time, as more and more people started to own the computers, the pc games are software that are here to stay, particularly if you consider the gains that are constantly been made in their advancement, especially in terms of graphics.

There is quite a variety of games available in the market, and it is quite important that you get your money’s worth, especially if you are considering to buy a game, as there are those that are available for free on the internet, or come with the computer when you buy it. So you may wonder: how do I ensure that I am getting a satisfactory product? The best way to ascertain the quality of the product is by reading the reviews that are availed about the game. These are quite common, and it is difficult to find a game that does not even have at least one comment about it, especially if it is a new release.
The best reviews that you could go for are those that are accompanied with actual videos if the game, because plain words cannot describe the gaming experience to the maximum. If you are not sure where you could get such a video, go to common sites that have videos such as YouTube, as these have all sorts of videos and would not miss videos for the computer games. You would even be able to find comparisons of certain games, for example if they are both of the same categories, like basketball for example.
Another way you can ensure that the game that you are buying is of quality is by playing the game before buying it. This is possible for games that have got free trials. These trials expire after a certain number of games and after this; you would be required to buy the game from its vendor. With computer games price is never a factor, in the sense that you may not find cheaper games that offer the same level of satisfaction than as the game that you would have identified to be great. You just have to ensure that you buy a legal version, so as to ensure that you enjoy the full experience.
