Internet users are turning to Firefox 3.0 for a more productive and safer and online experience. Branded by Mozillas site as their best Firefox yet, the new browser has 15,000 improvements with all the perks of the original still there. You may not have heard about it yet, but Mozilla attempted to break a world record on number of downloads with what they called Download Day. The jury is still out as to whether or not they broke any records, but not surprisingly, more than 8 million users downloaded Firefox 3.0 on its launch date. With such a following, this is a browser worth looking into. Safety First Mozilla has raised the bar for security. Firefox protects you and your computer with Malware and Spy Site Protection as well as including support for the new Extended Validation SSL certificate. Firefox 3.0 also includes an updated list that tracks all sites reported as Malware sites. The browser then blocks susp icious sites before they can even load up on your screen. When you arrive at sites reported for installing viruses, spyware, or other types of malware, a full sized message displays to warn you. This red alert window includes a Why was this site blocked? button if you want more information and a conveniently located Get me out of here! button. You can click on the site icon for a quick identity overview to make sure you know who youre dealing with. This overview pops up right away and tells you whether or not the site provides identity information which uses an SSL certificate to protect your personal data from third-party viewers. Mozilla also protects Windows users from downloading harmful files to your computer. When you download a file, the antivirus program automatically checks it for viruses and other malware. Family Friendly You can also keep your kids from downloading files that arent Mom-and-Pop approved. This is done by enforcing parental control settings youve entered on Window http://advice-and.info/Computers-and-Technology/91600_Are_You_Ready_To_Play_With_The_New_Firefox.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:37:18 GMT It is true that some Registry cleaners are truly is more aggressive than others, digging deeper and looking in more places for more kinds of errors. You may have tried to run a few different registry cleaners and one tool might report 18 errors while another might report 800 errors. The question is, do registry software vendors develop software that is fudges numbers and over-reporting errors to make financial gain. I decided to investigate further. I ran a test using the Top Ten most popular rated registry cleaners on the market.The top ten registry cleaners chosen for the test were PcOptimizerPro, Xp Repair Pro, Error Doctor, Registry Fix, Error Nuker, Registry tool kit, Registry Medic, Bug Doctor and Ace Utilities. I installed a fresh copy of windows XP Pro on a computer system. The system was fully up to date with all patches and updates for XP. No Registry-cleaner software had been used on the system, and so no errors or debris should have accumulated in the Registry since the original installation of XP was still there. I installed and ran one cleaner at a time, with a reboot between each run. I made a note of the number of Registry errors the software found. I was shocked at the results. Each registry cleaner found ridiculous amounts of errors, some cleaners in excess of 500 errors. You might wonder what was going on: Why should registry-cleaning softwares find errors on a brand new computer syst http://advice-and.info/Computers-and-Technology/85077_Registry_Software_Vendors_Play_Numbers_Games.html Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:36:30 GMT PPS (PowerPoint show) is the PowerPoint file that can be opened by starting slide show directly instead of opening the editing view. You can "convert" a PPT file to PPS file simply by renaming the file extensions. To play a PPS file, you need PowerPoint or PowerPoint viewer installed on your computer. Quite often, you might have received a PowerPoint presentation with a PPS extension rather than the normal PPT extension from others? Why? No presentation is created for presenting to the author only. A presentation must be shown in front of a group or wider range of audiences. PPS can bring you to the slide show view directly, any better ways? I dont think so. Now, another problem, what is a PowerPoint show usually created for? http://advice-and.info/Computers-and-Technology/84821_Play_Pps_Powerpoint_Show_On_Dvd_Machine.html Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:07:12 GMT Poker has always been a popular party game.
