			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all deal with them, those little computer problems that aren&#8217;t quite big enough to warrant a call to the Computer Guy.  You know, like every once in a while your camera won&#8217;t transfer its pictures the right way.  Or like the times when all of a sudden your computer shuts down for no apparent reason and with no warning whatsoever.  Don&#8217;t forget those odd &#8220;Run Time Errors&#8221; with the crazy numbers in them.  I love those. </p>
<p>The worst part is, you could probably fix some of these things yourself if you just had a little help or guidance.  Calling a professional, while sometimes necessary, can be both a greater inconvenience and of course a greater cost.  It may take forever to contact them, and when you do get in touch with the help desk, they always make you reboot the thing twelve times before you get any real advice.</p>
<p>Let me be clear on a couple things before we continue.  First, I am a professional computer technician and have been working in the industry for over 15 years.  There are numerous occasions where a professional is needed to help with or repair your PC.  It is often my advice to have your system evaluated at least one every three months.  On top of that, there are many things a novice should not try on their PC for fear of causing more harm than good.  Not everything is this way though.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again.  Your best way to help maintain your computer is by staying informed and educated.  I&#8217;m not suggesting everyone run out and get a Computer Science degree, but I am suggesting you use some of the top notch free resources that are available to you.  The largest these days is of course the internet.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get nervous yet, I&#8217;m not suggesting you look up some super hi-tech article and study it until you know it inside and out.  You don&#8217;t have to.  The net is full of people who already understand these things and are more than willing to pass some of that understanding on to you.  They do this in forums.</p>
<p>Forums are a wonderful thing.  A lot of forums are actual cyber communities of people who love to talk about various topics.  They have people of varying skill sets, all interacting in a friendly supportive way.  I know there&#8217;s a free computer support forum out there with people in it just waiting to answer some of your questions.</p>
<p>So next time those pop ups are driving you crazy, and you can&#8217;t reach your favorite help desk, stop by a computer support forum.  You&#8217;ll be surprised at how good an experience it can be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is great to learn about Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts and have greater control over the operating system and your computer. Who&#8217;s the boss here?</p>
<p>1. You can dock the current using Windows to the left side of the screen through pressing Window key + Left arrow key.</p>
<p>2. Window key + Right arrow key helps you to dock the current using window to the right side of your screen.</p>
<p>3. You can easily maximize and even restore the foreground window by pressing Window key + upward key.</p>
<p>4. Windows key + downward key in order to minimize the activated window for the moment.</p>
<p>5. If you want to have smaller icons at the taskbar just like Vista then you can go to Taskbaràright clickàselect propertiesàcheck mark the ‘Use small icons&#8217; optionàthen alter the &#8220;Taskbar Buttons&#8221; option towards ‘Never combine.&#8217;</p>
<p>6. You can easily burn the ISO files yourself without making use of user grapples with applications of third party.</p>
<p>7. If you have multi-monitor set up for your computer then you can easily a shift one window screen to the other monitor by pressing Win key + SHIFT key + Left arrow key or Right arrow key.</p>
<p>8. Now you can install a new font in your documents tools by downloading the font and then double clicking on it. It will show an install button along with it.</p>
<p>9. If you want to run some program with complete administrative rights then just hold the keys CTRL + SHIFT together by placing the option on to the application you want to open.</p>
<p>My personal favorite is the good old simple keyboard shortcut that been around forever. You simply press the WINKEY and the letter D on the keyboard to show the dektop. I have many more free <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.tips4pc.com/Windows_Seven_tips/windows_seven_tips__tricks_menu.htm">Windows Seven Tips</a> to share with you. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Innumerable threats against computer security and stability is working online. Worst thing is, most of these malicious program applications pretend to be innocent and sometime helpful program for your computing even. Antivirus Plus is such a program that is utterly threatening computer security nowadays. According to tech support experts, it is a type of malware that pretends to be antivirus software but does nothing good for a computer. They also generate fake alerts of malicious infection. Even they fake an endorsement by Microsoft, bringing users to a false Microsoft security page.</p>
<p>In short, Antivirus Plus is a rogue security tool that pretends to be a system security application. It is an infection that everyone needs protection from. It fakes Microsoft changing the host file to redirect users from the main security page. You must remove this malicious threat immediately detected on your system. Apart from that, this malware has the similar activity as other malware have. As been reported by the tech support specialists, Antivirus Plus disguises itself as a video codec. Therefore, chances are there to download this threat while watching a video of this sort, of course, unknowingly.</p>
<p>Some <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.mytechsupportstore.com/computer-support.html">computer support</a> specialists say, these applications mainly profess to have adult content, but it is not completely true today. Antivirus Plus lures people from various age group and preferences. In some cases, the Antivirus Plus websites can be spotted by the web address. Apart from scam sites, the program applications have its own websites from where it can be downloaded. Users are directed to that site through adware.</p>
<p>As been stated by popular online computer support specialists, antispyware program can only block the access of the scammed sites but cannot remove them completely once your system has got infected. They are able to bypass even the latest antispyware programs and other antimalware applications. Remote tech support guidance is given to help users avoid Antivirus Plus from getting in.
