Sapphire HD 5970 4GB

by admin on Aug.23, 2010, under hardware

HD 5970 the fastest video card on the planet launched in November of 2009 and still the top when it comes to video cards. So what do you do to follow up the fastest video card on the planet? Well if you’re Sapphire, you take the best and make it better. As ATI’s largest partner, Sapphire has long been known as a source of high end graphics solutions that easily move to the top of the class when they receive the Toxic, Vapor-X or Atomic treatment. While I have not seen an Atomic video card since the HD 4890, the Toxic and Vapor-X cards have been making the rounds. The latest before this behemoth being the Toxic HD 5870 2GB that offered third party cooling and improved performance via higher clock speeds and additional frame buffer memory. Kind of the same story here, with the improvements made to the Toxic HD 5970 4GB. The HD 5970 is a stout card and Sapphire has made the Toxic even more robust with the addition of aftermarket cooling in the Arctic Cooling Xtreme HD 5970 as well as higher clock speeds. Lets see if the new kid has what it takes to move to the front of the line.

location of the viruses and Trojans hidden in the boot process

by admin on Jul.28, 2010, under security

1. START-UP folder:

Windows always open all programs from the Start Up folder in the Start Menu. This folder is prominent in the section of Start Menu Programs.

Note that I did not say Windows “start” all programs in the Start Up folder. I said it “open.” There are important differences.

Of course, the typical program in the Start Up folder will run. But you can have shortcuts in the Start Up of them as documents rather than programs

For example, if you put a Microsoft Word document in Start Up folder, Word will automatically open and run it during system boot. If you put a WAV, music software will run when the computer music starts. And if you put a Web-page Favourites, Internet Explorer (or other browser you choose) will run IE and open your Web page similar to the above. (The examples cited here could easily put a shortcut as a WAV file, a Word document, etc …)

2. REGISTRY: Windows do all the commands in the “Run” Windows Registry. The components in the “Run” (and in other parts of the Registry listed below) can be programs or files that open computer as explained in section 1 above.

3. REGISTRY: Windows do all the commands in the region “RunServices” of the Registry.

4. REGISTRY: Windows do all the commands in the “RunOne” of the Registry.

5. REGISTRY: Windows do all the commands in the region “RunServicesOne” of the Registry. (Windows uses the two regions “Runone” just to run the program unit time, usually during the next boot the system after installing a program).

6. REGISTRY: Windows execute commands in the area HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ exefile \ shell \ open \ command “% 1″% * of the registry. Embedded command here will open when running any file that is executed.

There may be other files:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ exefile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ “% *”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ comfile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ “% *”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ batfile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ “% *”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ htafile \ Shell \ Open \ Command] = “\”% 1 \ “% *”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ piffile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ “% *”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Classes \ batfile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ ”
% * ”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Classes \ comfile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ ”
% * ”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Classes \ exefile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ ”
% * ”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Classes \ htafile \ Shell \ Open \ Command] = “\”% 1 \ ”
% * ”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Classes \ piffile \ shell \ open \ command] = “\”% 1 \ ”
% * ”

If no key value “\”% 1 \ “% *” above and changed some things like “\” somefilename.exe% 1 \ “% *”, then they will automatically call a special file described.
7. BATCH File: Windows do all the commands in the BAT file Winstart placed in the Windows directory. (Most people use and most people are unaware Windown expertise to this file. It can not exist in your system, but you can create it easily. Please note that a some version of Windows called the Windows directory is “WINNT”). Full File Name is: WINSTAR.BAT.

8. File initialization: Windows execute commands in the “RUN =” Win.ini file located in Windows folder (or Winnt).

9. File initialization: Windows execute commands in the “LOAD =” Win.ini file located in Windows folder (or Winnt).

It also runs the commands in the shell = in System.ini or c: \ windows \ system.ini.

[Boot]
shell = explorer.exe C: \ windows \ filename is

Style file name explorer.exe will start whenever Windows starts.

With Win.ini, file names can be for a considerable space, each store name on one line. It reduces the ability of the file name can be found. Usually full path of files in this entry, if not please check back in the Windows directory.

10. RELAUCHING: Windows restart programs using the system shutdown. Windows can not do this with most non-Microsoft programs. But it is made easy with Internet Explorer and with Windows Explorer, the program file and folder management built into Windows. If you run Internet Explorer to disable the operating system, Windows will re-open the same page after you restart the system. (If this does not occur in your computer, someone has disabled this feature. Use Tweak UI, program manager for free user interface of Microsoft Windows to re-activate set “Remember Explorer settings “or under any other names in your Windows version).

11. Task Scheduler: Windows execute commands run automatically in Windows Task Scheduler (or any other scheduler that supplements or replaces the Task Scheduler). Task Scheduler is an official part of all Windows versions, except the first version of Windows 95. But if you install Microsoft Windows 95 Plus Pack also has the Task Scheduler.

12. Secondary INSTRUCTIONS: Windows to launch programs at startup are free to launch the “child” inside it. Technically, this is not a program launched by Windows. But they often can not distinguish the programs usually run automatically if they are launched right after the “father” runs

13. Method C: \ EXPLORER.EXE

C: \ EXPLORER.EXE

Explorer.exe Windows download (always placed in the Windows directory) during the boot process. However, if the C: \ explorer.exe exist it will be executed instead of the Windows explorer.exe. If c: \ explorer.exe is down, users are locked out fact from their system after they reboot.

If c: \ explorer.exe is a trojan, it will be executed. Unlike other methods automatically restart in other viruses, it does not need any audio file or record any changes. This file is simply renamed to c: \ explorer.exe.

[COLOR = "SeaGreen"] 14. Additional methods:

The method automatically reboot Additional. The first two methods are used by Trojan SubSeven 2.2.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Active Setup \ Installed Components
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Curr CurrentVersion \ explorer \ Usershell folders

ICQ Inet
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ mirabilis \ ICQ \ Agent \ App s \ test]
“Path” = “test.exe”
“Startup” = “c: \ \ test”
“Parameters” = “”
“Enable” = “Yes”

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ mirabilis \ ICQ \ Agent \ App s \]
This key specifies that all applications will be executed if ICQNET detects an Internet connection.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Classes \ ShellScrap] = “Scrap object”
“NeverShowExt” = “”

This key changes your file extensions.

Things you should look for in a New Desktop PC

by admin on Jul.19, 2010, under Computer, hardware, what is

PC

Buying a hardware can be a very hard task if you’re not a techie,but you can use these tips that we provide for buying a machine that suits your needs .

Operating System
You can use linux , windows or apple os x but are also difficult to compare there’s really no need to compare all are stable and fast you’ll probably be satisfied with any ..

Video System
The video system sends the picture to the monitor. Many inexpensive computers use the main-system RAM to run video. The video processor is built into the motherboard (the main circuit board). This works, but is less desirable.

Better computers have a separate circuit board, called a video card. This includes the video processor and memory. For video cards, 64 MB of RAM is pretty standard. That’s more than enough for day-to-day computing.
However, if you are doing video work or playing advanced games, get a card with 128 MB of RAM. Truly hardcore game players can get cards with 256 MB of RAM.

Random Access Memory
you will need a minimum of 512 megabytes of memory If you can afford it get 1 giga , for demanding applications, such as video editing. Memory is relatively inexpensive, so don’t skimp.

Microprocessor
For Windows machines, you have a choice of the AMD Athlon XP, the Intel Pentium 4 and the Intel Celeron, an economy chip. The Pentium 4 and Athlon XP are upper end chips. The fastest Pentium 4 runs at 3.2 Gigahertz — a very fast speed indeed. It’s also very expensive. The comparable AMD chip, the 3200+, is slightly less expensive.
You may need these fire-breathers if you’re doing lots of video editing. Ditto if you’re working with computer-aided design or playing advanced games. Otherwise, look to chips running at 2.4 GHz to 2.6 GHz (or 2400+ to 2600+, in AMD-powered machines). They’re cheaper, and they perform nearly as well as the top-end chips.
Intel’s Celeron is a budget chip. If you do typical office duties and surf the web, you probably wouldn’t notice the difference between a top-end Celeron and a Pentium 4 running at the same speed. But you could save some money.
Apple and AMD chips run at lower speeds than those made by Intel. AMD uses the + symbol, as in 3200+, to imply that its chips are faster than comparable Intel microprocessors, despite running more slowly. Indeed, tests often show that to be the case.
Apple claims that its top-end machines are faster than those running Windows. That is a matter of controversy; there are websites devoted to debunking Apple’s claims. Apple’s chips run at much lower speeds, so they are difficult to compare directly. If you’re interested in an Apple computer, test one at a store, then test a Windows machine. Apple computers are more expensive than comparable Windows machines.
Both Apple and AMD have new 64-bit microprocessors. They can crunch twice as much data as 32-bit chips. But there are virtually no programs that take advantage of this power now. That will change in the future, but these expensive new chips don’t offer as much value today.

Hard Drives
If you do a lot of video work, you need a big hard drive. Video files are huge. Hard drives at 200 to 250 GB are common and relatively inexpensive.
Otherwise, the gargantuan drives common today far outstrip the customer’s needs. Even low-end machines today have 40 GB hard drives. You are unlikely to fill that. I recommend putting your extra money elsewhere.
