Computer Shuts Down While Installing XP

I have a laptop that came with vista home premium.  I wanted to change the OS into XP professional but the problem is it shut down  before finishing loading the drives into its hard drive. I tried formatting the hard drive using Hirens software, check the compatibility settings in bios set-up, and using external DVD instead of its own DVD drive but it didn't help me fix the problem.

After an almost hour of troubleshooting and research, I've found this solution at Toms Hardware Forum.
  • Leave the laptop rest for about 1 hour
  • Unplug the battery, run only on external power supply
  • Without opening it, used a compressed air to clean the air filters.
  • Placed it in a cold environment (Put it directly in stone floor, and placed a normal fan next to it)
  • Turn off the auto-shut off overheat system in BIOS 
  • Inserted the WinXP CD in and pray for the best.
In my case I did not follow all the procedures. I did not let my laptop rest for 1 hour, clean the air filter, place it in cold environment and turn off the auto-shut down settings in bios. What I did is just unplugged the battery, run on external power supply and install the windows XP. It worked, so I hope this tips help you.

Hard Drive Keeps Filling Up

I was experiencing a sudden lost of free disk space in short period of time. My hard drive keeps filling up and I can't find out where it goes or what was using it. I had already removing some unnecessary programs and deleted all files from the recycle bin and desktop but it was not fixing the problem.
Upon investigating I found the possible causes and its solutions:
1. I may using an application that creating a log file in my system drive.
To check this, you need to check the sizes of folders and files in program files. Download View Folder Size Pro and install it to your system and follow the instruction bellow.
  • Open Windows Explorer at drive root folder.
  • Set Detailed view mode.
  • Open View menu and select Details.
  • Click the View menu again and select Choose Details. This opens the Choose Details
  • Now look at the window and find the string SizeEx. Check a box near the SizeEx line and move it up using the appropriate button.
  • Move this line into the second place. Then disable the standard Size column. Press the OK button.
2. The Anti-Virus is getting corrupted and generating files in the windows/temp folder or it maybe caused by a virus which main task is to duplicate automatically any files in my system drive.
To fix this error, you need to uninstall your anti-virus and clear out the temp folder. Download and install malwarebytes Anti-malware and scan your system. Reinstall your anti-virus and scan your system.

How to Make your Computer Faster

There could be so many ways of improving PC performance or to make your computer faster, but there are also a number of reasons why your system is running slowly after a few months of using it. In order for you to determine how to make your computer faster, you must try to determine the nature of the slowness and what factors are causing it.  

The following are the helpful procedures on how to make your computer faster.

1. Get rid of virus and spyware.
A computer that suddenly becomes slow may have a virus or spyware program robbing its resources. Spyware is known to change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and/or loss of Internet or functionality of other programs.
How to do it?..
One way to make your computer faster is to get rid of virus and spyware. To do this, we should run a virus scan and spyware sweep regularly. In my case, I am using AVIRA and MALWAREBYTES.

2. Always avoid start-up overload.
Some programs like yahoo messenger install themselves to start automatically when you start up the computer. These programs can make the computer working too hard during start up, no wonder why the system takes more time during this process. so, we must remove this kind of programs during start-up.
How to do it?..
To fix this problem,just click on Start > Run, type ‘msconfig’ and go to the ‘Startup’ tab. You’ll be presented with a check list of all the programs that automatically runs every time our computer boots. Deselect these programs and reboot the system. After reboot and Windows tells you about the changes, just uncheck the notification box then click Ok so it won’t bother you again.

3. Consider adding more RAM.
The computer's live and temporary memory is called RAM memory. The more you have it, the better. All the programs that are running actively are using RAM memory to run in that is why lack of RAM will slow down your system dramatically.
How to do it?..
The easiest way of improving computer performance is to upgrade the RAM, so I would suggest bumping up the memory to at least 2 gigabyte at a bare minimum, or 4 gigabytes of memory if the motherboard and your finances allow for it.

4. Clean disk drive regularly.
The disk drive is the storage place for files and software on your computer, including Windows itself. If the hard drive gets to be filled with many files, it can slow down the computer. The system drive needs to be at least 10% free space on the hard drive for Windows to use for its paging operations.
How to do it?..
Increase the free space by deleting files.
If you have a lot of documents, pictures, music, etc. burn them to CDs for backup so that you can then delete them from your hard drive to free up space.
Use the disk cleanup utility. Click and run the cleanup utility, and Windows will find and remove all of your disposable files--such as cached temporary Internet files and files in the Recycle Bin. 
Remove the Useless Programs. Use the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel to uninstall any software that you don't use and systematically check the programs folder and delete all old folders of the programs that you have uninstalled.

5. Clean the windows registry.
The computer's registry can become corrupted by spyware and viruses. In addition, with continually installing and removing software, not all programs will remove themselves cleanly and completely from the registry. This is why cleaning the registry is one way of improving PC performance.
How to do it?..
Manually cleaning the registry by using the windows registry editor.
To manually clean your registry using the Windows Registry Editor, first create a backup of the registry, and then remove unnecessary files:
  • On the desktop, click the Start button on the left bottom corner of the taskbar
  • Click Run
  • Type regedit in the new Run window. Click OK
  • At the top of the window, click File on the menu toolbar
  • Go down and select Export
  • Type a name for the backup file, and click Save
  • Go to the left side of the registry editor window and view how your computer is configured.
  • Click on the plus sign to expand a section of the registry editor and delete the unnecessary registry files in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE." This area is used to make registry changes to hardware and software.
Use a registry cleaning software.
There are so many free registry cleaning software available in the web today, some are effective and some are not. Try to use RegScrubXP, It doesn't have the speediest scan time, but this Registry cleaning tool looks good, performs well, and of the best I have tested. 

I hope that this can help you on how to make your computer faster.

What is Cookiejacking

Cookiejacking is the process which hackers access a data file stored inside the browser known as a "cookie," which holds the login name and password to a web account.

According to the new research, this is considered as Microsoft latest security risk. This information was revealed by  Rosario Valotta, an independent Internet security researcher based in Italy. I do not know if this study was tested in the other browser. It was not stated if the other browsers are also vulnerable in this kind of attack.

If the other browser are safe from cookejacking, I think we don't have to worry this treat. Most of the internet users nowadays do not use internet explorer anymore. It is been a long time that we knew that this browser sucks in any way compared to the other browsers. If it is not included during the installation Microsoft Windows operating systems, I will not install this in my computer.

Microsoft said there is little risk a hacker could succeed in a real-world cookiejacking scam.

According to Microsoft spokesman Jerry Bryant. "In order to possibly be impacted a user must visit a malicious website, be convinced to click and drag items around the page and the attacker would need to target a cookie from the website that the user was already logged into."

One thing is for sure, cookie can be hijacked and internet explorer is vulnerable to it.
