Top 10 keyboard shortcuts everyone should know

Using keyboard shortcuts is faster and can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and help keep you focused. Below are the top 10 mostly used keyboard shortcuts.

Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert and Ctrl + X

Both Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Insert will copy the highlighted text or selected item. If you want to cut instead of copy press Ctrl + X.

Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert


Both the Ctrl + V and Shift + Insert will paste the text or object that's in the clipboard.

Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y


Pressing Ctrl + Z will Undo any change. For example, if you cut text, pressing this will undo it. These shortcuts can also be pressed multiple times to undo or redo multiple changes. Pressing Ctrl + Y would redo the undo.

Ctrl + F


Pressing Ctrl + F opens the Find in any program. Ctrl + F includes your Internet browser to find text on the current page. Press Ctrl + F now to open the Find in your browser and search for "shortcut" to find each time shortcut is mentioned on this page.

Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab


Pressing Alt + Tab switches between open programs moving forward. For example, if you have your browser window open and other programs running in the background press and hold Alt and then press tab to cycle through each open program.

Ctrl + Back space and Ctrl + Left or Right arrow

Pressing Ctrl + Backspace will delete a full word at a time instead of a single character.

Holding down the Ctrl key while pressing the left or right arrow will move the cursor one word at a time instead of one character at a time. If you want to highlight one word at a time, hold down Ctrl + Shift and then press the left or right arrow key to move one word at a time in that direction while highlighting each word.

Ctrl + S

While working on a document or other file in almost every program, pressing Ctrl + S saves that file. Use this shortcut key frequently if you're working on anything important in case an error happens, you lose power, or other problem that causes you to lose any work since the last save.

Ctrl + Home or Ctrl + End

Ctrl + Home will move the cursor to the beginning of the document, and Ctrl + End will move the cursor to the end of a document. These shortcuts work with most documents, as well as web pages.

Ctrl + P

Open a print preview of the current page or document being viewed. For example, press Ctrl + P now to view a print preview of this page.
Page Up, Space bar, and Page Down


Pressing either the page up or page down key will move that page one page at a time in that direction. When browsing the Internet, pressing the space bar also moves the page down one page at a time.

Computer Repairs

Getting your pc appropriately fixed by a skilled computer specialist could be less expensive than you may imagine. Lots of people think about the plan to be too costly and can make an effort to repair the problem themselves before turning to some professional computer repair service.

Lots of people try to sort out the issues themselves - just how much would that point set you back? Just how much frustration can you experience! PC customers frequently finish up tearing their head of hair in frustration once they cannot fix the pc problems they're going through.

Others will receive a knowledgeable friend or relative to fix their damaged computer. This could sometimes work. However think about the occasions when it does not work so well. Whenever you're well-meaning friend or relative really does more damage or does not have the ability to resolve the issue. They have wasted potentially hrs of time to fix your pc problems. And you're simply quit having a computer that simply does not work.

Many people can give up totally and buy a brand new computer. This method is excellent for those who have lots of money to throw around - but generally, you do not - which is not a achievable option.

Any trustworthy computer repair service will offer you a warranty on work - the conventional is about fourteen days. So remember should you experience problems whenever you take your computer home - go back immediately. Should you delay and go back after fourteen days, they've every to ask you for another repair fee.

Will They Repair Onsite? - Some so-known as "professional computer repair services" doesn't even repair your pc within their store. They'll send them elsewhere. This isn't ideal. Your pc will more often than not contain private data, photos along with other sensitive information. You'd like to learn that the computer is saved securely and safely while being fixed - not carted round the country to obtain a repair.

Can They Quote You Before They Proceed Using The Work? - A great and professional computer repair service will be happy to offer you a cost indication for just about any repairs.

Everything you need to know about firewalls

Did you know that when your computer is connected to the internet, it has over 131,000 ports that a hacker could connect to? These ports are like doors in a building and if they aren't protected properly, then someone could sneak in without you noticing. If the hacker is not installing a virus, they can still do some serious damage without alerting your security software, including transmitting your personal information. So how do you watch all of these doorways to your information? You need a firewall!

In construction terms, a firewall is a fire-resistant wall that subdivides a building to stop the spread of fire from one area to another. In computer terms, we need to stop communications between your computer and others on the internet. A total block of all internet communication would be useless though, so you need a way of selecting which type of communications you want to receive. For this, computer firewalls have rules and filters much like construction firewalls have access doors.

Where do I put this firewall?

Firewalls can be on a hardware box (a separate unit or part of your internet modem or router) or can be software installed on your computer. Most popular security software packages also include a firewall. A hardware firewall is great for providing a barrier before your computer is even reached and will also mean that your computer doesn't have to spend its precious resources on running the firewall software. It also reduces the risk of the firewall itself being compromised, as some viruses can try and disable security software features that are running on your computer. The downside is that a hardware-based firewall can be more expensive and not as easy to configure and maintain if you are unsure of how to use them.

If Microsoft gives me a firewall, do I need another one?

The Windows Firewall (on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Vista) only examines inbound communications coming into your computer from the internet. If your computer becomes infected (e.g. if you install some free software that turns out to have a hidden nasty) then your outbound communication to other computers on the internet won't be examined or filtered. This can turn your computer into a source of infection, impacting your security and internet connection. It's also not recommended that you run more than one software firewall as this uses more processing power and can cause conflicts, so if your security software includes a firewall, turn off the Windows Firewall.

If I have a secure wireless connection do l need a firewall?

A wireless connection is another way to get onto the internet and wireless security controls who can use that connection. This is similar to allowing who can plug into your phone line. Once you are connected, your 131,000+ ports are still open to hackers, so you still need a firewall. A firewall may be included on your wireless router but it pays to check.

Why does it keep on giving me messages?

If you are doing something specific (like installing new software or troubleshooting a connection problem) you may need to temporarily disable your firewall. Software firewalls may alert you that a connection has been attempted and blocked and may ask if you wish to allow that kind of connection in the future. In general, if you are doing something new which would probably involve a connection to the internet, you can allow the connection either this time only or for all future connection attempts. If in doubt, block it, as you can always allow it later if you find that it is needed.

Firewalls provide an enhanced level of security that has now become the minimum standard to protect your computer. They do require a certain level of knowledge or a great computer support person, so talk to your local Computer Troubleshooter to ensure that you are protected.

This single interface will allow you to build, maintain, update, and manage your site. More amazingly, cPanel is equally advantageous to both the experienced web designer and the beginner. It is also great for the busy ecommerce site and the personal blog. With all its flexibility, cPanel unlimited hosting plan is more than sufficient for all your hosting needs.

More than anything else, cPanel is easy to navigate and a cinch to expand in such a short notice. Furthermore, with more than a decade of existence, cPanel has proven its security and stability. Although cPanel hosting plans may vary from host to host, the modern cPanel still maintains high security and reliability, thus you should choose a hosting company that offers this kind of cPanel unlimited web hosting plan.

Therefore, if you are still trying to decide on the type of web hosting for your site, you should keep in mind that getting one that will provide you with high security, reliability, simple site management features, accessibility, and usability will truly be beneficial for your business. Getting a cPanel unlimited web hosting plan might just be all that you need.

If you are a webmaster and you need to choose between so many kinds of web hosting, then you should probably just settle with the cPanel web hosting. This is actually short for Control Panel web hosting. This is a kind of hosting service which is very popular among re-sellers, end-users and web administrators.

In the cPanel web hosting, uploading a softer is simply done, the processing of email is easily accomplished, and gathering of data and other basic activities that needs to be done in a website is all accomplished fast. A server and administration of a website can both be quickly updated or any important information can be added easily simply by using the mouse and clicking on it.

The cPanel will allow the website administrator to gain full control of their website simply and logically.

The cPanel will make sure that the updating is done automatically, without the web administrator having to worry about it.

Now, just like any other thing, it may be a great thing, this cPanel, but there are some downsides to this. There may some newer versions which have to be installed and some things may go wrong during the process of installations. But as this is really a simple thing to deal with, and it is the only downside to the cPanel software, mentioning it is quite unnecessary.

Now, on the subject of incoming traffic, the cPanel web hosting software can offer quick data regarding the tracking of the number of visitors within the site. It can also make it easier for the web administrator to trace their broken links and any files which are not there or non-existent. This will make it a website that is friendlier to its many visitors, clients and customers.

Remote Technical Support

Computer and Internet technology is a real blessing which has given direction and support to the modern world. It has so much intermingled with the profession and personal lives of people that it's difficult to imagine a day without it. It has touched every corner of life and people from all walks of lives are using this. One should be highly grateful to the enterprising efforts of scientists and developers who are consistently involved in the business for a better tomorrow. However, problems and obstacles have never remained an exception. But certainly these are challenges which provoke towards development and invention.

In early days computer support was catered through direct on-site visit of technicians or by repair shops. Gradually, this method was substituted by remote technical support. In fact, this is a dynamic concept and is of great help. The Internet feasibility and the advent of quality remote software have given wings to the concept. This online support has crossed all barriers and hurdles and one can expect the support anywhere anytime. Whether one has a need of PC repair at home or office, in day or night, facing small or big problems he can get instant help through the Internet or phone.

Computer Support is used in a broad sense and it encompasses support for every computer related issues which one might face in his life. Operating system, application software, router, printer and other program or devices are widely used with computer. A problem with any of these is inevitable. Again, there are brands and their respective models or software versions as well, so the term computer support gets segregated again accordingly. Microsoft Windows NT, Apple Mac, Linux, UNIX are the commonly known operating systems. Likewise, application software and security software are too available from various brands. This software are regularly updated or revised by the developers to induce better technologies and features.

Though, brands are offering Remote Technical Support but they restrict to their own products. As one can't limit himself to one particular brand of software or hardware so this specific tech support would not be enough to deal with computer problems in long run, hence, there is a constant surge for independent technical support provider, who can provide all-round support. Companies indulge in the business offer support for all brands, and one just needs to call the Tech Support Phone Number and permit technicians to have the remote access of his machine. Responsible technician diagnoses the system in front of owners eyes and troubleshoots it to fix the related issues. Hence, this has also mitigated the chance of data theft. They can also help the consumer to clad the system with the desired software and set-up and configure important peripherals with it. In case of system crash one doesn't need to worry too much, by making a right contact at right time he can restore his system and get back his valuable assets. Besides, they can provide driver support, antivirus support, e-mail support and more.

Moreover, these tech support services are catered by subject matter experts, at competitive prices, and with warranty periods so the consumer is always in safer side, and he can keep his fingers crossed and enjoy next-generation computing.

How to Make a Bootable Antivirus Cd

Why Bootable Antivirus?
In a bootable environment we are running a stripped down version of windows in a ram disk (programs are loaded directly into ram), thus the hard drive on the PC is treated as attached storage (like a flash drive). In this state malware (malware consists of viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, rootkits, etc) is helpless and totally at your mercy. This is the best free way to remove any piece of malware with a 100% success rate.

Steps:
Please follow all the steps below:

1. Go to http://ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm
2. Select a mirror with a green status. (like "Mirror#3" for example)
3. When you click on the mirror it will take you to another site where the download will be available.
4. Click the download link for Ultimate Boot CD and save the download to wherever you download stuff.
5. Once the installer has been downloaded double click it.
6. Choose your language
7. Click next about 3 more times and select the file path where you would like to install ultimate boot cd 4 win. Please note that you should have a drive with at least 5-10 gb of free space to allow for future plugin growth. I will choose C:UBCD4Win. The install should take a few minutes.
8. Click Yes to the MD5 Hash Check. The install will continue once the hash check succeeds.
9. Click Yes to see if a patch file exists.
10. Click the checkbox to launch ubcd4winbuilder.exe.

11. Click the "i agree" button.
12. Click "NO" to searching for windows files.
13. Obtain a windows xp operating system disc w/SP2.
14. Explore the disc and copy the entire content (all the folders and files on the windows xp cd) to any location on your computer. You should allocate at least 700 MB of free space for the windows xp disc.
15. Open UBCD4win (if it's not already open). Click Source browse button (3 dots ...) and browse to your i386 folder. My path was C:WindowsXPcd for example.
16. Next go to the media output section and choose a spot for your ISO image to be created. This ISO can be burned with almost any burning software. Once the ISO is burned it will be bootable.
17. Next, click the plugins button. Don't be too overwhelmed here, actually you should be very happy! Look at all those plugins!
18. Now it's time to update our anti-malware software packages.
19. The first one I have on my list is a-squared free anti-spyware. Click that line and then click the config button. A command prompt will automatically open and start downloading the latest updates for that program...totally awesome, isn't it!
20. So, now you need to update all the anti-malware programs in our plugin list. Click each one and then hit the config button.
21. After you're done configing/updating your plugins click the close button.
22. Next, click Build.
23. Click yes to create a directory and then click i agree.
24. At this point your ISO is created and is ready to be burned.

How To Keep Your Computer Healthy

Overheating is one of the most dangerous issues for hardware, fortunately it's also one of the easier ones for users to reduce or prevent entirely. Between the small moving parts and electrical currents running through everything, the inside of your computer can become very hot, and this can damage everything inside. A good first step is to monitor your PC's temperature. If it feels hot to the touch (not just warm) or the temperature increases significantly over time, you may need to intervene. All computers have small fans to help get rid of the heat that builds up inside the case, in a computer that's overheating, these may be broken or just not powerful enough. You can replace these fans (called heat sinks) yourself, or hire a professional.
You can also cut down on overheating issues by never pushing your machine past its published capabilities (overclocking) and ensuring that the vents are not blocked by anything. Another easy problem for users to resolve might surprise you: dust bunnies. Just as dust finds its way into the strangest places in your car, it also winds up inside your computer case where it can accumulate. While most of the time this is harmless, large piles of dust can get in the way of moving parts or block the vents for the heat sinks. The best solution is to periodically open up the case of your computer and use "canned air" to blow away the dust inside.
Remember, make sure that the computer is turned off and unplugged from the socket before you begin to open it to prevent damage to the hardware and yourself. While keyboards and mice are fairly inexpensive components, it's still wise not to waste money replacing them when you could just as easily keep them in working order for much longer. Keyboards are most frequently damaged when food and other bits of debris get stuck under the keys. To reduce the risk don't eat at your desk, or put your keyboard out of reach when you do. Standard mice, with a ball built into the bottom to track movement, should be used on a clean surface such as a mouse pad. You should clean this off periodically and keep it away from food just as you would a keyboard.
In the event that liquid spills on either item, unplug it immediately and allow it to dry out fully before testing if it is still working (this will reduce the risk of a short). One of the best ways to protect the components of your system involves a little bit of an investment, but it literally can mean life or death for your hardware. Instead of plugging directly into a wall socket or normal power strip, you can use a surge protector or a universal power supply to protect your components from outages and spikes. These two issues cause a stupendous amount of hardware failure and data loss every year. It's vital to purchase a universal power supply that has enough capacity to run your entire system in order to get the full benefit. It may be wise to consult with a professional about your power needs if you choose that product.


A surge protector will not provide the same protection against data loss if there is a power outage, but is less expensive and provides needed protection for your hardware from power spikes.

VPS hosting

For anybody who is fed up with the inadequate overall performance of their shared web server but not yet in a position to step up to a costly dedicated server than the most suitable option available for you would be a Virtual Private Server (VPS).

The two main forms of VPS solutions are managed and unmanaged VPS services. Managed VPS hosting services are similar in a lot of ways to hosting that is shared. You'll receive skilled pros who will take care of any issues with your hosting server which could develop.

Managed VPS hosting servers are the most useful way to go if you're not very tech savvy or do not have the employees available to take care of any technical concerns that will arise with the hosting. You may also decide on Managed hosting if you're a business owner who just desires to focus on operating their business rather than concern yourself with if your server is functioning so that your clients can reach and use it. You can sleep well at night knowing your website is in safe hands.

Most good Managed VPS hosting providers will ensure you get 24/7 support that should quickly try to deal with any complications with your hosting server or if you would like to add new email accounts or domains to the server. It is possible to usually put in a simple request and this will be taken good care of.

A great company is Tecsys who make available both virtual offices in India among their services.

Unmanaged VPS hosting services will mean that you happen to be accountable for caring for your Windows or Linux server. Unmanaged servers tend to be made use of by businesses that either have proprietors that are technically very knowledge and can fix any problems that may crop up or they hire staff who are able to handle the problems on behalf of the company.

Although unmanaged VPS hosting is frequently less than managed hosting simply because you are not paying for the technical support nevertheless, you have to make sure you'll be able to take care of any technical issues that happen or you might find yourself with no functioning internet site for hours on end or even days which ultimately means that you end up paying much more in lost business than it would should you have had used a managed VPS hosting account.

If you're willing to take your online business to a higher level then you certainly should consider upgrading from a shared server to a VPS hosting account that you either are comfortable taking care of yourself or opt to have a great hosting company manage it for you.

Cloud Computing History

Various websites that offer actively accessible information on the World Wide Web, rapidly influence much online communication and participation. Cloud computing started the history of internet this way.

Every discovery that is very obvious today has its own obvious history of how professionals or even ordinary man discover or created them. To many people, Cloud Computing was an indistinguishable and unclear word for a very unpredictable and far-away outlook of the future in which computing would take place in a little distant location. Numerous numbers of men see cloud computing as being too multifarious and advanced. Actually this statement can be answered by many website found the World Wide Web browsing itself. Because of this major innovation its extremely simple to search websites out there that give clear details it in a incredibly easy way.

Perhaps, anyone of us is not sure about the real history of cloud computing but maybe many people would agree that this is a product of intelligence and strong brain storming of some professionals. Yes! Maybe we can have an uncertain a sudden glance over the account or history of the cloud computing but with help of many information center now we might clear some things up about this especial type of hosting.

Looking back the history, in the middle 90s we really ongoing to observe a few internet programs like Yahoo and Google. These types of sites all offer enthusiastically easy to get to information on the World Wide Web. The site rapidly persuades much online communication and involvement. This is where cloud computing first really started in the history of internet. Subsequently, come up to the blast of business and computer industry happens half of the 90s. In the midst of various sites similar to Amazon and eBay amazingly made more and more accepted and persist today. By means of cloud services, societal media came after that and out of the blue many people started to see cloud computing and made some innovation that is seen today. Myspace, Facebook and Twitter in a little while go after and these group effort and networking apparatus follow standard and principle of cloud computing used by businesses today.

At some point, we would not be amazed and shocked to see some very large businesses with clouds of their own property and a number of structured integrators who continue clouds to service their customers desires.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing can be defined as a data service, software and storage service, where the end user is not aware of the physical location and system configuration that delivers the services. Comparison to this concept can be made with electricity power grid where the consumer is mostly ignorant of the component devices that are needed to give this service.

Cloud computing has evolved from virtualization, autonomic utility computing as well as service oriented architecture.

Here are some clouds computing comparison, which have similar characteristics but should not be confused with the following:

1.Autonomic computing-This is can be defined as a self-capable management computer system.

2.Grid computing-This is a form of parallel computing that is distributed and connected to a main super computer. This super and virtual computer is networked to a cluster of loosely interconnected couple of computers working in unison to perform large tasks.

3.Client-server model-This kind of server computing is a general term that refers to any application that is distributed and is able to differentiate between service requesters (clients) and service providers (server).

4.Mainframe computer-These are very powerful computers that are found mostly in large organizations that work with important applications, usually bulky data processing like census, statistics of both consumers and industry, financial transaction and resource planning.

5.Utility computing-This can be defined as packaging of computing resources that involves computation and storage. A good example is the metered service that draws similarities to public utility like electricity.

6.Peer to peer-here the distribution architecture is devoid or doesnt require central coordination having the participants acting as both the suppliers and consumers of the resources unlike the client server model.

7.Service oriented computing-it models around computing techniques that revolve on software service. Cloud on the other hand relies on services that have a relation with computing.

One of the notable characteristic of cloud computing is that the processing and data is dynamic meaning that it is not found in a static place. The model is totally different from the ones which the processes take place in known specified servers and not in the cloud like cloud computing. In other words all the other concepts act as complementary or supplementary to this concept.

The cloud computing comparisons dont end there. The system software architecture that is involved in delivery of cloud computing involves the following: Multiple cloud components that inter-communicates over interfaces application programming. This is achieved through web services on the 3 tier architecture. The principle follows that of UNIX where multiple programs work concurrently over universal interfaces.

Front end and back end are the two most significant components of cloud computing architecture. The computer user is able to see the front end which is the computer as well as the applications that are used to access cloud on web browser and other interface. The back end, on the other end, of the cloud architecture is the cloud that comprises of data storage devices, servers and various computers.
