Music and Tech search terms result in more spyware filled sites

June 8, 2007 by Tricia

I wrote a post the other day about a new spyware program called Spy Sweeper. Now I’ve found a news story that says that when we are searching the web we should be careful of what search terms we use while searching as some terms – particularly those used for music and technology related searches can cause us to encounter more sites filled with spyware.

Have a look at this short video to see which terms you should be careful of using when using search engines:

Tired of Spyware? Get Spy Sweeper

June 7, 2007 by Tricia

537645401_ef78a55e40_o.jpg I absolutely hate spyware! If you’ve ever undergone a spyware attack I’ve no doubt that you don’t like it much either.

I think the worst spyware attack that I ever went through was one that caused pop ups to keep coming up continuously. I’d visit sites, ones I run, that definitely did not have pop up advertisements on them and I’d get pop up after pop up. They were sticky too. You’d close one and another would pop up and so on until it ate all the memory in my old computer and made it crash.

You can bet that when I got the computer back up and running I went hunting for a virus or spyware. I think it took me a couple of hours to discover and rid my computer of that nasty spyware.

Now there’s a new version of the award winning Spy Sweeper program that you can use to monitor and rid your computer of spyware. Spy Sweeper uses the most advanced detection in order to block and remove spyware from your computer.

One of the best features of Spy Sweeper is that it has new smart shields that block known and emerging spyware threats as you browse the internet. Also if you computer is already infected when you install Spy Sweeper you can use it’s built in advanced discovery methods to detroy malicious spyware on your PC.

If you purchase and install the Spy Sweeper program onto your computer you’ll be able to do virtually anything on the internet without worrying about encountering spyware.

Also, just like most popular anti virus programs Spy Sweeper helps you stay ahead of new spyware threats with free Defense updates.

Considering how much spyware is out there and the fact that new spyware is created pretty much daily it only makes sense to protect your computer with a great spyware detecting program like Spy Sweeper.

Use Movavi Video Converter to convert your video files

May 25, 2007 by Tricia

If you enjoy making your own videos whether it’s with your camera phone, your digital camera, a digital camcorder or a tape based recorder you know that each piece of equipment might save your video or movie files in a different format. I know that’s the case between my cell phone camera/video recorder and my digital camera video recorder! Same thing if you are trying to convert DVD or VHS files too.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a software program that you could use that would easily convert all the different video formats easily and quickly? Well there is! It’s called the Movavi video converter. It’s a powerful software program that lets you convert video files to different formats in minutes.

You can use the Video Converter to convert any video format, and also use it to rip DVDs. With this program you can save the video files that you’ve made onto DVDs, Ipods, Zune, PSP, PDA’s and cellphones.

You can use the Video Converter program to convert between any of the following formats: VCD, SVCD, H.263, H.264, RM, WAV, MP3, FLV, AVI, DivX, XviD, MP4, Sony PSP, Apple iPod, DVD, VOB, IFO, MPEG 1,2,4, WMV, ASF, 3GP, 3GP2, and MOV file formats. I think that covers just about all of the most commonly used video formats out there!

You can also use the Video Converter to merge separate video files into one video file, or convert any video file segment. The software also allows you to extract audio and frames from your movie.

The software supports multipleprocessors and is Vista compatible.

The video converter software program only costs $29.95 if you are purchasing it for personal use. As far as I’m concerned a program that does as much as this one does is well worth that price. Check it out!

Need to upgrade memory

May 21, 2007 by Tricia

I’m trying to help a friend increase the memory in her Dell laptop computer. What she really needs to do is purchase some Dell Memory modules to either add on to her system or to replace the current memory that’s there.

The online store that I linked to above sells the Dell Memory that she needs, but the shipping charge to Canada is fairly high, especially with border duty, and since upgrading memory for a laptop computer is not all that cheap we’d like to purchase the memory components in Canada.

I guess it could either be an online store, or a store somewhere in Southern Ontario. We don’t care which … we just need to find out where to get the laptop memory that she needs in the very near future. Her laptop is an older model so she figures if she can upgrade the memory and make it work a bit better and faster she might be able to live with the computer for a little while longer while she saves up for a new one.

Does anyone know of a good computer memory seller in Canada?

Recover files that you’ve accidently deleted

May 18, 2007 by Tricia

file-recovery-logo.gif I almost decided to call this post “Oops I did it again”. Why? Well, I know some people who constantly have problems with their computers. I spend hours with them either online, on the phone or visiting their homes fixing their computer for them. Days or weeks later I inevitably get a call from them saying “Remember that problem I had a few days ago? Well it happened again.”.

The problems that I fix most often are due to opening email that contains a virus or downloading a program that contains a virus. If these people would get decent anti-virus protection perhaps I wouldn’t waste so much time helping them!

The viruses they get on their computer end up either deleting files that their system needs to work properly or corrupts the files. What’s worse is that sometimes the people I try to help try to fix the problem themselves and not really knowing what they are doing they end up deleting important files as well.

That’s why I’m so happy that there’s a new program called Active File Recovery. You can use the program to restore files that have been accidentally deleted or that have been deleted or altered by a virus attack. It will even help restore files that have been lost when your system crashes or that are lost when the power fails.

It’s easy and safe to use. The program is definitely a reliable and efficient data recovery tool. I’m planning on purchasing a copy of this program myself, and you can bet I’ll be urging the people who’s computers I fix regularly to get a copy of this software too!

One great thing about this software is that if you suddenly find that you can’t boot up your computer you can use the CD/DVD ISO image that comes with the Active file Recovery Enterprise Installation. You can burn a copy in order to get a bootable CD or DVD with a lightweight version of Windows Vista that will run in RAM. Once you are able to boot your computer with the disk that you made you can then use the Active file Recovery software to recovery important files that might have been deleted and that might have caused the crash.

With this program you’ll also be able to perform Partition recovery. So if you have had a partition loss or the partitions been damaged by formatting you can repair it using Active File Recovery professional. The program can also be used to recover media files such as photos, deleted files from flash memory, and data that’s been lost or formatted from memory cards.

You can download a demo version of the Active file recovery software if you’d like to check it out, or you can simply purchase one of three packages – Standard, Professional or the Enterprise package that are priced from $29.95 to $99. Corporate licenses are also available. All of these products include free updates and technical support.
