Who would believe that the majority of us now consider a computer as an essential commodity in our lifestyles and we would be unable to work properly without one. One of our common questions these days is how do you speed up your computer?</p><p>As so many of us rely on computers for our work, if our computer is running slow then our work suffers and we cannot complete our job in the allocated time. This leads to frustration and annoyance and in order to resolve this we look for ways to speed up the computer. If you do not know anything about computers your first option will probably be to contact a computer engineer to sort it out and speed up the PC. This can be an expensive route and in reality there are a few things you should try yourself first which should prove a lot less expensive and should help speed up your computer.</p><p>Over time I have learned many simple ways to speed up my computer before I even think about asking an engineer to check it out.</p><p>1 The first thing you should check for is how much memory your computer has. I remember one of my first computers had a RAM of 2 Meg. Although at the time I thought this was fantastic, things have moved on from there and now the average computer has 1 to 2 gigabyte of ram as our requirements and usage of the PC has increased dramatically. If your computer is running slow then you should see if you can increase the memory first and you will definitely see that this will speed up your computer. Some motherboards will accept up to 4 gigabyte so it is worth looking into that.</p><p>2 If you are working on your computer all the time you will have collected a lot of unnecessary files over time. By just deleting all these unwanted files will help speed up your computer.</p><p>3 Defragmentation of your computer is another way to increase the speed of the PC. Although this sounds like a complicated thing to do it is actually very simple but it can take quite a few hours to complete so I would suggest you set this task to perform overnight, unless you have several hours to waste. In order to defragment your computer you need to access your disk defragmenter. You will find this if you go to all programs, click on accessories then go to system tools, you will find the defragmenter there. This should speed up your computer as well.</p><p>4 After implementing these steps and your PC is still running slow then your next step should be to scan your registry for errors. You can get a free registry scan to find out if your registry has problems,you should be aware that maintenance of the registry is a necessity and if it shows errors then you should run a suitable registry cleaner for your computer on a regular basis. Make sure the registry cleaner you use has a back up facility just in case it deletes any important data. If you do this you will find that this will help stabilise the speed of your computer.</p><p>Hopefully by implementing these steps you will notice a significant change in the performance of your PC.</p> </div> <div id="sig" class="sig"> <p><br /><a target="_new" href="http://www.survivalontheinternet.com/"></a></p> </div> <p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Lilian_Dabrai"> http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Lilian_Dabrai </a> </p>gadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06745177033550005546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955753251136239458.post-33076221432458444552010-03-25T07:05:00.001-07:002015-04-08T01:19:37.500-07:00Linux Vs. Windows<div style="text-align: justify;" id="body"> <p>This article will not attempt to advocate the use of Linux over Windows or vice versa. I will try to present the differences and similarities between Linux and Windows in a fair manner.</p><p>Overview:</p><p>Both Linux and Windows (2000, NT, XP, Vista) are operating systems. Linux was inspired from Unix, while Windows was inspired from VMS.</p><p>While no single company "owns" Linux, Windows is owned by Microsoft. Various distributions (often referred to as "distros") of Linux come from different companies (e.g. Red Hat, Novell SuSE, Mandrake etc.), while all Windows flavors (95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista) come from Microsoft.</p><p>Both Linux and Windows come in Desktop and Server editions.</p><p>Cost:</p><p>As far as cost is concerned, Linux is very cheap or free. I used the word "very cheap" for enterprise users. While anybody can download, install and use Linux, the distribution companies usually charge for technical support.<br />Windows is expensive. You first pay for the copy of the software and then again for the technical support if you ever want it. <br />There is another catch though; Windows enforces you to use a single copy on a single computer. This is not the case with Linux though, once you purchase Linux, you can run it on an unlimited number of computers.</p><p>GUI:</p><p>Both Windows and Linux are GUI based operating systems. <br />I'm afraid but, Windows has better GUI than Linux and it will get far better with the upcoming Windows Vista release. Linux has two GUIs: Gnome and KDE. Linux is fast catching up and is evolving from a server operating system to a desktop operating system.</p><p>Command Line:</p><p>Both Windows and Linux comes with command line interface. Windows calls it the "DOS prompt", while Linux refers to it as the "shell". Linux's shell is far more superior than Window's DOS prompt. It can do a whole lot of things that are not possible in Windows. Linux support various command line shells such as BASH, Bourne, Korn, C shell and many other.</p><p>Third Party Application Software Availability:<br />Both Windows and Linux run third-party applications. Windows, compared to Linux, has far greater number of third party applications available for use. A program written for Windows will not run under Linux (although it can be made to emulate, but it will be very annoying and hence not recommened).</p><p>Linux's application base is, however, increasing threefold. On a more close examination, the average computer user uses the following applications 90% of the time: Word Processor (Office suite), E-mail client, Web browser, Media software, and Instant Messenger. Linux has all these applications and in fact has many flavors for each.</p><p>Like Linux, all third party applications are very cheap or free. Whereas, Windows applications can cost a leg and a limb.</p><p>Security:</p><p>Simply put it this way, Windows is not secure. If you are using Windows and don't have Antivirus, Anti Spyware, and firewall (memory and resource eating applications), your computer can get affected by a virus in less than 10 minutes. I remember restoring a fresh copy of Windows XP on my Toshiba A40 notebook. I was browsing the Internet with Microsoft Internet Explorer and my machine got infected with loads of spyware in less than 15 minutes!</p><p>Microsoft came up with Firewall and Anti Spyware products, but these programs run in the background and eat up your computer's precious memory.</p><p>Linux, on the other hand, doesn't have these issues. I'm not aware of any spywares for Linux. One can safely run a Linux distro without ever worrying about installing Anitvirus or Anti-Spywares.</p><p>Windows also has more security flaws than Linux. By security flaw, I mean a hacker can compromise the Windows operating system and break into your machine and destroy your files. But, flaws on Windows are quickly fixed and patches are often made available almost instantly after the flaw is reported.</p><p>Supported Hardware:</p><p>Windows was originally designed for Intel based machines. Earlier version of Windows NT also ran on RISC and Alpha architectures, but not anymore.<br />Linux run on a wide variety of hardware. And can support some very old legacy hardware. I've seen a Linux distro running on a 486 based machine.</p><p>Diver Availability:</p><p>As one author once said, "Windows is a bag of drivers". I think that is quite true. Installing a new hardware device is a piece of cake in Windows, whereas it can be a nuisance on Linux especially for average Joe. I can't in my wildest dreams imagine my dad installing a sound card successfully in Linux.</p><p>Things however will not stay the same for long. Manufacturers are also offering Linux drivers for their hardware, which will simplify the process.</p><p>Network Support:</p><p>Linux beats Windows bad in this area. Windows was never designed for the Internet. Unix, on which Linux is based, was designed for Internet (or Network) and is far more efficient compared to Windows. A senior Network Administrator working for a Fortune-500 company, recently pointed to me that if we monitor the traffic between exchange Windows based Exchange Server and Client, we can see that hundreds of packets are going to and from even when both are idle. He said that such is not the case with Linux.</p><p>However, our average Joe will never see or feel any difference. Windows Internet is good enough for him.</p><p>File System:</p><p>Windows Vista will use a new file system called WinFS. Earlier version used FAT (FAT16 and FAT32) and NTFS file systems, with NTFS being the preferred choice. Linux supports ext2 and ext3 file systems.</p><p>FAT file systems were mediocre, but NTFS can be compared with the Linux file systems.</p><p>Both file systems allows us to create directories, sub directories and file. Linux file systems are case-sensitive whereas, NTFS is not.</p><p>Normally, Linux systems cannot access NTFS file systems, but with the help of add-on software, it can.</p><p>Help and Documentation:<br />Linux help and documentation is quite good, accurate and to the point compared.</p><p>I've been using Windows for well over 8 years now. Frankly speaking, I hardly ever checked the accompanying documentation or the help file because everything is so simple that nobody needs to venture in the help file.</p><p>What should I buy?</p><p>OK. Truth hurts, but let it be. If you are average Joe, that extra $300 on Windows are worth spending. If you are looking an OS for your server, never even think about Windows. Buy Linux.</p> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig"> <p>About the Author:</p><p>Umer Mansoor is a software engineering student.

Did your computer seem to run a lot faster when you first got it? If your answers to these 2 questions were yes, then please read on. In this article I am going to give you tips to speed up your computer. They can all be done today, even if you are new to computers. The 7 steps that I am going to share with you are so easy, believe me you can do it! These are techniques that computer technicians in several different support organizations do and some charge a lot of money for their walking you through these processes. You are going to get them today at no charge. Are you ready? Then let's begin!</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Step 1: Scandisk</span></p><p>You should run scandisk at least once a month. This will make sure that your computer can read all of the information on your disk. How will this speed up my computer? I'm glad you asked! You see your computer has in it's hard drive what the technicians call redundancy. What I mean is if your computer is trying to read a file and the data isn't read correctly from the disk, the computer tries to read that information again and again a set number of times. This results in slower loading times. When scandisk is ran regularly this keeps your disk free of these storage errors and thus enables the computer to get the information it needs from the disk as fast as possible. Scandisk should be run before the next step each and every time.</p><p>I know you're asking, how do I run scandisk. It's simple. Find that icon on your desktop or in your start menu labeled 'My Computer'. In there you will see a listing of all the drives in your computer. Right click on the drive you want to scan and go to properties. There, you will have a tools tab. Click on it. You will see a button that says check for errors. This is scandisk or also called checkdisk on different versions of windows. There are 2 different modes, Standard or Thorough. Standard checks and makes sure that all the bits and pieces of your files are in the spot on the disk where it thinks they should be. In other words, it checks for filing errors. Thorough does a standard check as well as it tests each spot on the disk where the drive can write something and makes sure that what it writes, it reads back the same thing. If it doesn't read the same information back, it marks that spot as bad so that it is not used. This keeps down that redundancy thing we spoke of earlier. Wasn't that easy? Now, on to Step 2.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Step 2: Defrag</span></p><p>Defrag should be run once a week if you use your computer more than 14 hours a week. This equates to about 2 hours a day. Most people who actively use their computer will fall into this category. Defrag, whose real name is disk defragmenter, is your best friend for speed. You see when your computer writes something to the disk; it starts the disk to turning and drops bits of the data you want to write wherever there is a hole. It then tells the filing system where it placed that piece. So your file could be literally broken into 20 pieces! Your disk takes longer to load the file because it has to jump around to different spots to gather the pieces together when it needs it. Defrag takes care of this by gathering the pieces all together and writing them back to the disk in one piece. This way when you need the information, it's all right there. To run defrag it's the same as where we went for scandisk. You go to 'My Computer' and you right click on the drive you want to run defrag on and go to properties. There go to the tools tab. Click the Defragment button. Wow this is getting easier by the minute! On to step 3.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Step 3: Background Programs</span></p><p>Background programs really slow down your computer's performance. They accomplish this by using up your computer's resources. Resources are the combined power of your processor (brain), memory, and disk space. These 3 are the equivalent to horsepower. This is where you will gain a lot of your speed back as well. If you look at an area of your screen right now, I can show you a fraction of some of these that you never thought of. The area I want you to look at is called your system tray. It is located next to your clock, which is opposite your start menu. If your start menu is on the left side, then the clock is on the right. Next to the clock you will see these little icons or pictures. These are programs that run on your computer whenever it boots. Guess what, these are background programs. They are there to help load things you need faster. If you are following this guide you really don't need most of them. Do you?</p><p>Here's how you get rid of them and most of the others that you can't even see as well. Sorry folks who are on Windows 2000, this step won't work for you. If you read to the end I will give you a bonus that will make up for it, I promise. Ok, for the rest of you, click on start. Click on run. Type msconfig. Click ok. You should get a system configuration utility. Be very careful here and follow my instructions exactly. Click on the startup tab at the top. You will have a list of all the programs that run when your computer boots or starts. If you look down the list there will be some names that are familiar to you. When you see those names I want you to think: "Do I really need this program running all the time?" If the answer is no, uncheck the box. For example, some of you may have heard of RealPlayer. There's a smart start icon associated with it. You really don't need real player running when you are only going to be playing FreeCell now do you? :) On to step 4.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Step 4: Temporary Files</span></p><p>Temporary files hold up space on your disk. These files are most of the time useless. Temporary files are just that; files that were temporarily created by a program or installer. They are supposed to be deleted when not needed any longer, but a lot of programs do a poor job of cleaning them up. Helping them out will get you more speed for your horsepower. For example: let's take temporary internet files. When you go to a website every element of that website's decorations are stored in a temp file on your computer. Your computer does this to help supposedly. It's supposed to help by when you visit the same site again; the elements of the website will already be on your computer and therefore don't have to be downloaded again. This in theory should speed up your surfing right? Wrong! Here's what really goes down. For every element of the website, your computer reads every temp file to see if it matches. Every single file in your temporary internet files folder! To get a grasp of this here's what I want you to do. Open internet explorer. Go to the tools menu and click on internet options. Click the settings button. Then click the view files button. Do you see what I mean? Every file! Now...Close the temporary internet files window. Click OK on the settings window. Do you see that button next to settings on the internet options window? It's labeled delete files. Click it. Check delete all offline content. Click ok. When the hourglass is gone, you are all clean! This should be done once a month. This will keep your whole computer running smoothly. The secret lies in Internet Explorer. It's integrated so much into windows, when it has a problem, windows has a problem. What I am saying is when you opened my computer in steps 1 and 2. You were using internet explorer. Ok. Nuff said. On to step 5!</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Step 5: Antivirus</span></p><p>Good Antivirus software is an absolute must! There are several choices to choose from. Some cost money and some don't. Viruses hide on your computer and wreak havoc. If you don't have antivirus software on your computer, you will never know they are there. They sit and hide out until their appointed time and then interfere with your computer. Viruses are programs written by people with too much time on their hands and not enough morals. They sit and think of ways to make your day bad. Some viruses will sit on your computer and do nothing but open up connections to other servers all over the internet. What does that do? It slows your computer down drastically! Nuff said. Your choices are to get paid antivirus software like Norton, Mcafee, or Computer Associates. If you don't have the cash to spare then you can go to your favorite search engine like Yahoo or Google and enter in 'free antivirus download' and get a list of all kinds of scanners. Some is far better than none. Some of the best free software that I have found are AVG, Avast!, and ClamWin. If you have a fear of installing software, never fear. There are also free online virus scanners. Again, you go to your favorite search engine and type in 'free online virus scan' and you will get plenty of results. Beware though, with these scanners you run the risk of getting infected still. The reason is you have to go to the site and scan the computer yourself, preferably once a week. In that time a virus could have already infected your machine. Antivirus software that you install on the computer checks every file, every time it's used thus drastically decreasing the chances of infection. It's like a flu shot. Some of the good online virus scanners are Norton, Panda, and BitDefender. Now, on to step 6.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Step 6: Recycle Bin</span></p><p>It is very important to keep your recycle bin empty. What I mean is this, you don't want to have hundreds of files sitting in your recycle bin that you deleted 6 months ago. They are taking up valuable space. Windows uses your drive as memory to run programs. When you run out of physical memory, it uses what's called a page or swap file and stores it there. These recycle bin files are taking up space that windows could be using for memory. Every bit of memory you can get adds to your horsepower. So for God's sake, please keep your recycle bin tidy. Get rid of things that you are sure you won't need again. When you go to delete something, and you are absolutely sure you won't need it again, you can hold down the shift key and press the delete key to permanently delete it without sending it to the recycle bin. And now, last but not least, step 7.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Step 7: Adware and Spyware</span></p><p>I like to call these small time viruses. The industry calls them parasites. Norton calls them extended threats. Do you get my drift? What is adware and spyware you may ask? They are actually quite similar. I'll start first by explaining the ways that you can get them on your computer. Let's say you download a 'free' program to run on your computer that you think is pretty neat. If you are like most of us, you don't take the time to read the license agreement. If you did, you would find a line similar to: by installing this product you agree to install xyz product which will be used to send marketing information to the makers of the software. Do you see how they get you? One of the other ways you can get it is by going to some random website. It doesn't matter what it is, but they have this script that runs as the page is loading and it installs the adware and/or spyware on your computer. The last way that I will discuss here is through a virus. There are viruses out there whose sole job is to download adware, spyware, keyloggers, and other malicious software on to your computer. These things really slow your computer down. Here's how they work.</p><p>Adware and spyware install on your computer and watch what you do, where you surf, you know what you are interested in. They then open a connection to a server and report your activities. They are very good at what they do! Where adware and spyware differ is spyware does nothing but report your activities. Adware on the other hand reports your activities and the server it reports to in turn sends it an ad to display on your computer. Now, just like there are antivirus programs out there, there are now very good antispyware and antiadware programs on the market. Noadware, Spybot, and Adaware are a few of the good ones.</p><p>In conclusion there are 7 major ways to speed up your computer with simple maintenance and preventative measures. Run scandisk, defrag, get rid of excess background programs, delete temporary files, get some antivirus software, and also get a good adware and spyware remover utility. I hope you have found this information useful. I hope that I have helped someone here with this information and I pray that you will check out some other very useful information at</p></div><div style="text-align: justify;" id="sig" class="sig">Anthony Brown<br /><p> <a target="_new" href="http://www.brownsblessing.com/">www.BrownsBlessing.com</a></p> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 1em;

Choose “NTFS” as it is faster and more secure. Leave the “Allocation unit size” as “Default.” In the “Volume label” field enter whatever name you want the drive to have. Simple is better. Avoid using spaces. Lastly, if the drive is brand new and has never been used before check the “Perform a quick format” box. If the drive has been used before leave this box unchecked.

On old or large drives this may take a while. Do not close the “Computer Management” window until it finishes. You will know it is done when the word under the size of the drive changes from “Formatting” to “Healthy” and the name and drive letter you chose for the new drive show up.

I guess you have read my comparative study on anti-virus software too. If in case you haven't, here it is. While writing on that article I realized I have been rather superficial on the most important part of an anti-virus column and that is not WHAT cures the disease. Its about HOW they do it. Today let's find out how they actually work.</p><p>After a lot of study, I came to know about mainly four different algorithms used by today's anti-virus software to detect viruses:</p><ol><li style="margin-left: 10px; "><strong>Generic Scanning Technique</strong></li><li style="margin-left: 10px; "><strong>Integrity Checking Technique</strong></li><li style="margin-left: 10px; "><strong>Heuristic Search Scanning</strong></li><li style="margin-left: 10px; "><strong>Interception technique</strong></li></ol><p>None of them are individually perfect. However in combination they often prove to be a formidable opponent to any current viruses, trojans and more. Moreover some of the techniques also protect your computer against future viruses.</p><p><span id="more-2832"></span></p><h2 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(153, 34, 0); ">1. <strong>Generic Scanning Technique</strong></h2><p>Most of the old viruses and some new viruses and trojans have a recognizable pattern or signature (sequence of bytes) which anti-virus software looks for. Anti-virus software has a library of signature against which it matches the applications, boot sectors and other possible locations of infection. If it can detect a match it will then signal the end-user with the virus details and location where it was found. Anti-virus software's update these signatures at regular intervals. Unfortunately mutating and polymorphic viruses evade simple signature detection by continuously changing their code. They are detected by advanced techniques discussed below.</p><h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: groove; border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 11pt/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; ">Advantages</h3><p>Signature detection is simple and fast. Anti-virus software can look for virus signature in large number of files in a very short period of time. This is what makes it a popular option with anti-virus vendors.</p><h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: groove; border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 11pt/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; ">Disadvantages</h3><p>Virus creators today mostly code polymorphic viruses which changes the code, while retaining the functionality, thereby evading signature detection algorithm. There are virus toolkits available for free which allows even a script-kiddie to code a polymorphic virus with minimal expertise. This can be a useful technique only in conjunction with other techniques but not alone. It is in some ways similar to comment spam detection or email spam detection using keyword matching for typical spam words like viagra.</p><h2 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(153, 34, 0); ">2. <strong>Integrity Checking Technique</strong></h2><p>Some anti-virus softwares can maintain a log file about important files under Windows. The integrity information of those files are stored in their database and are recorded by check-summing. If a virus tries to modify a system file, the anti-virus software at once notifies the user by this technique.</p><p>The best part of this technique is, even if a system file gets corrupt (weirdly as it does sometimes without the initiative of Mr. virus) suddenly and tries to change and modify the boot sectors or say registry, the integrity of the files will be violated and the anti-virus will warn the user about that too.</p><h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: groove; border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 11pt/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; ">Advantages</h3><ul><li style="margin-left: 10px; ">The integrity checking technique perhaps is the most foolproof of them all, as it can determine if a file has been damaged by a virus or not.</li></ul><h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: groove; border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 11pt/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; ">Disadvantages</h3><ul><li style="margin-left: 10px; ">The problem with this is, not many softwares can implement such precise and perfect technique. A data loss or a damage due to corruption can not be distinguished with a case where the file is damaged by a virus. But, there is a boon in the bane. Not any harmful activities within your computer gets unnoticed.</li></ul><h2 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(153, 34, 0); ">3. <strong>Heuristic Scanning</strong></h2><p>Heuristic Scanning follows the behavioral pattern of a virus and has different set of rule for different viruses. If any file is observed to be following that set of particular activities then it infers that the particular file is infected. The most advanced part of Heuristic Scanning is that it can work against highly randomized polymorphic viruses too. Heuristic scanning technique has the potential to detect any future virus with ease. F-Secure Anti-virus quite successfully implements this technique.</p><h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: groove; border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 11pt/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; ">Advantages</h3><ul><li style="margin-left: 10px; ">The advantage of this scanning is that, its very it has the prospect of being the only algorithm of all the anti-virus softwares in the future because it can lead us to very accurate virus detection if properly coded.</li><li style="margin-left: 10px; ">It doesn't need anti-viruses to<span> download weekly virus database because it can detect viruses from behavioral pattern from the set of rules.</span></li><h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: groove; border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 11pt/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; ">Disadvantages:</h3></ul><ul><li style="margin-left: 10px; ">Te disadvantages of heuristic search techniques are that they are very complex to implement.</li><li style="margin-left: 10px; ">And again, a virus coder can make a virus that will not obey the set of rules a heuristic scanner hopes it will. Then the virus will be infecting without being noticed.</li><li style="margin-left: 10px; ">Again, chances of <a href="http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/3652/false.html" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: bold; "><em>false alarms</em></a> are more with heuristic search techniques.</li></ul><h2 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Arial Black', Futura, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(153, 34, 0); ">4.<strong> Interception Technique</strong></h2><p>This is the newest technique which continuously monitors your files for suspicious activities.</p><p>Imagine if a virus is hidden in a CD-ROM. Then how on earth would other anti-viruses come to know about it? But interceptors watches all external drives, data devices as well as internet download or even file download from email. That is why it provides real-time protection to your computer. When a virus comes from a DVD or a pen drive, be rest assured that an anti-virus software that has implemented interception technique will detect it immediately and warn you about it.
