| Pickle Smoocher | Computer Help
Many people seem to get brand new computers over the holidays so I figured it would be a good time to put together an article with some tips and software to help you keep it running in tip top shape. First off we are going to cover some of the programs out there that will help keep your computer safer on the internet. We will cover programs to remove and block adware/spyware, stop spam, help speed up your connection and remove traces from that porn link you "accidentally" clicked on. Adware Remover Gold Working at an ISP, I receive at least 10 calls a night from people that have had their computers hijacked by some sort of spyware/adware, and this is the tool I always recommend. Adware Remover Gold is a popular tool allowing web surfers to protect themselves from the various dangers of surfing the internet. The list of adware, spyware, thiefware, and Trojans is always growing and the dangers, burdens, and problems caused by such mechanisms is also on the increase. The quick scan on this site will find some of the bigger problems on your system, but I would highly recommend purchasing the full version of the software. I guaranty you will be surprised at what it actually finds. Like I said previously I work at an ISP so another issue I get tons of calls on is SPAM which over the last year is definitely on the rise and will continue to do so now the our government, in an attempt to stop spam, has pretty much made it legal to spam people. So a tool to help block this out is going to be real handy. That's where Email Spam Block comes in. This high quality spam blocking product includes various features such as domain black listing, email blacking listing, email bounces, customizable "friend e-mail" list, pre-determined optional spam filters and much more. Email Spam Block is a program that I would highly recommend looking into if you, like myself, are sick of getting SPAM. Cable Modems and DSL are on the rise but unfortunately for a lot of people, these products are not yet available in their area. That is where this next program comes in. Modem Speed Booster this product speeds up your internet connections by up to 300%, increasing the speed of page loads, downloads, and even the internet connection time. So if you are tired of waiting for pages to load and emails to download on your dialup connection, check out Modem Speed Booster Last of the programs for internet use is Evidence Cleaner Gold. This is a must have product for any adult internet surfer. This top of the line product features secure data deletion, Windows Hotkeys, history cleaner, and surveillance detection to cover all of your needs. Even if you don't surf on adult sites at all, its still would be a good thing to know if someone is watching you or not. Some sites similar to this one, us tactics such as blind links to send you to porn sites. Once you click that link its already to late, the evidence is already on your computer that you visited an adult site, if you happen to be at work when this happens it could cause you a major headache and possibly your job. Evidence Cleaner Gold is one program that most people should seriously consider investing in. For most people once the new computer is up and running, it is time to get rid of the old one. During this process a lot of people do not take time to think about what they actually have on their computer, and either just haul it out to the trash, give it to a friend, or give it to charity. The problem is that most people don't realize how much personal information resides on the computer itself. Ever do banking online? If you have, all your information has the ability to be recovered if the computer happens to fall into the hands of the wrong person. Banking information isn't the only thing, how bout personal emails, personal documents and saved passwords from various website. All this information can and will be recovered if it happens to fall into the wrong hands. Just deleting the file is not enough. When you delete a file all it does is mark the space as able to be used, it doesn't actually remove the file. You need to actually overwrite the file to make sure it is gone and Data Shredder Gold is here to help you do just that. Data Shredder Gold is a useful tool that allows you to securely delete your confidential and private files and make sure that they can never be retrieved. This product is beneficial for anyone who downloads adult images or videos, anyone that deals with confidential documents, and any computer user who wants to free up valuable disk space. So if you plan on getting rid of that old computer, this is something I definitely would recommend. If you decide to keep the old computer around the following product might interest you. PC Speed Booster is a helpful product that provides you with various features to maintain your computer at the highest performance level possible. With functions such as Drive Cleaner, Registry Cleaner, DLL cleaner, Internet Cleaner, Internet Tuner, Start-Up Tuner, File Wiper, and File Allocator, you have a complete tool for optimizing your PC. So if you want to clean up the old computer and speed it back up to what it was like they day you purchased it, PC Speed Booster would definitely be a wise investment. The final product is more for entertainment and fun then anything else. If you watch TV or read the news paper at all you know one of the hot topics for the last year has been downloading music off the internet. These files are usually in an MP3 format and unless you spent extra money for your CD player in your car, home stereo or anywhere else you might listen to music, just burning the MP3 to a CD is not going to work. This is where Extractor and Burner will be quite helpful. It will convert those MP3's into a format your normal CD will be able to use. You can also use this software to make copies of other CDs also. Many people use the CD copying process as a way to make backup copies of the CDs they have already purchased, so you are not out the $13-$18 you spent on the original if it gets scratched. So check out Extractor and Burner if you have any interest in downloading music and being able to listen to it other then on your computer. |

| WARNING!!!! Do not, I repeat, do not use that PC boost thing. It is nothing but shit, and all it did was nearly destory my whole system. I had to do a restore of the computer to the state it was in right before I installed it to make my system work at all. Just a little warning for all of you.
