mIrc commands

Hi to all of u there.

You all might have heard about mIRC, but doesn’t know what is it.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group many-to-many communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message and data transfers via Direct Client-to-Client.and mIrc is a software for irc chat on windows.U can get more info regarding mirc at http://www.mirc.com/mirc.html

Swapping partition in linux

Hello everyone!

Those of u who r new to Linux might be wondering about swapping partition...No
need to think more just go on reading it.U will get it.when u install any
windows OS than u create 2 or more partition from which 1 partition is for
windows file & other partition is used for storing ur movies,software or
files.but,in Linux,,whenever u install it (for dual boot Linux &
windows,see previous post) Linux,u need to create only 2 partition.1st will be
root partition where all ur software& movies will be stored & 2nd
partition will be used for swapping.

coming to swapping, this partition is used because at any given point,your
processor would be executing certain instructions & all instructions r
stored in queue.if some instructions is big than its execution time will also
be more so other process will take time.if any process has high priority than
it has to be executed firstly but when this process comes to cpu, at that time
ur processor might be executing.some other process, so in this case,currently
executing process will be saved in the swapped partition& high priority
process will executed firstly.

if u want to know to more on any topic,do give the topic.I will try my best to provide tutorial on it.

Improve PC performance

We all want that our PC should give best performance but for that u must have to do these things.Here I will be giving 10 steps to improve your PC performance.I will be giving these 10 steps at a time.so,it will be easy to read & understand.

1.) To decrease a system’s boot time and increase system performance, use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software -- the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine -- and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA hard drive with 8-MB cache buffer.

2.) If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.

3.) Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system. If you’re not sure, here’s how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the prompt, type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press the Enter key. This process may take a while; it’s important that the computer be uninterrupted and virus-free. The file system used by the bootable drive will be either FAT32 or NTFS. I highly recommend NTFS for its superior security, reliability, and efficiency with larger disk drives.

4.) Disable file indexing. The indexing service extracts information from documents and other files on the hard drive and creates a "searchable keyword index." As you can imagine, this process can be quite taxing on any system.

The idea is that the user can search for a word, phrase, or property inside a document, should they have hundreds or thousands of documents and not know the file name of the document they want. Windows XP’s built-in search functionality can still perform these kinds of searches without the Indexing service. It just takes longer. The OS has to open each file at the time of the request to help find what the user is looking for.

Most people never need this feature of search. Those who do are typically in a large corporate environment where thousands of documents are located on at least one server. But if you’re a typical system builder, most of your clients are small and medium businesses. And if your clients have no need for this search feature, I recommend disabling it.

Here’s how: First, double-click the My Computer icon. Next, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Uncheck "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching." Next, apply changes to "C: subfolders and files," and click OK. If a warning or error message appears (such as "Access is denied"), click the Ignore All button.

5.) Update the PC’s video and motherboard chipset drivers. Also, update and configure the BIOS. For more information on how to configure your BIOS properly, see this article on my site.

6.) Empty the Windows Prefetch folder every three months or so. Windows XP can "prefetch" portions of data and applications that are used frequently. This makes processes appear to load faster when called upon by the user. That’s fine. But over time, the prefetch folder may become overloaded with references to files and applications no longer in use. When that happens, Windows XP is wasting time, and slowing system performance, by pre-loading them. Nothing critical is in this folder, and the entire contents are safe to delete.

7.) Once a month, run a disk cleanup. Here’s how: Double-click the My Computer icon. Then right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. Click the Disk Cleanup button -- it’s just to the right of the Capacity pie graph -- and delete all temporary files.

8.) In your Device Manager, double-click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers device, and ensure that DMA is enabled for each drive you have connected to the Primary and Secondary controller. Do this by double-clicking on Primary IDE Channel. Then click the Advanced Settings tab. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to "DMA if available" for both Device 0 and Device 1. Then repeat this process with the Secondary IDE Channel.

9.) Upgrade the cabling. As hard-drive technology improves, the cabling requirements to achieve these performance boosts have become more stringent. Be sure to use 80-wire Ultra-133 cables on all of your IDE devices with the connectors properly assigned to the matching Master/Slave/Motherboard sockets. A single device must be at the end of the cable; connecting a single drive to the middle connector on a ribbon cable will cause signaling problems. With Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems will prevent the drive from performing at its maximum potential. Also, because these cables inherently support "cable select," the location of each drive on the cable is important. For these reasons, the cable is designed so drive positioning is explicitly clear.

10.) Remove all spyware from the computer. Use free programs such as AdAware by Lavasoft or SpyBot Search & Destroy. Once these programs are installed, be sure to check for and download any updates before starting your search. Anything either program finds can be safely removed. Any free software that requires spyware to run will no longer function once the spyware portion has been removed; if your customer really wants the program even though it contains spyware, simply reinstall it. For more information on removing Spyware visit this Web Pro News page.

Dual-boot windows with Linux

Most of the user find it very difficult to install linux along with windows.
Reasons can be many. some wants to learn linux but don't know how to install it.
Learning linux being difficult for newbie but for fun-loving people its a great mentor also.
for our purpose,i suppose that u are running windows currently.Now please follow these steps
carefully for successfully installation of linux.
I have used fedora core 5 with windows XP

1)Go to My computer icon on desktop
right click on it & click manage option.there,double click Disk management.
on the right side all partition will be shown.

2)Don't select c: drive(if you have windows installed in this drive),instead select other drive
Note: A typical linux installation requires 4-5 GB of Hard disk only..sobefore partitioninga particular drive,make backup of that drive on some other drive or on external media.

3)After this make 3 partition with suitablesize.2 partion will be used by linux & 1 by windows

4)1st partition of linux will be our swap partition.its size should be 500 MB only.this acts as virtual memory which we have in windows.

5)2nd partition size of Linux must be atleast 3 GB

6) leave 3rd partition,windows will automatically detect it.

7)Now,reboot your system & press del to enter bios setup.there under boot configuration select boot from CD-ROM drive.press f10 & enter.

8)now insert any Linux distro bootable cd into drive & ait for welcome screen.

9)at welcome screen,select install option.Installation is simple like windows.

10)during setup, it will ask to select boot loader.go for grub boot loader.LILO is also available.but grub is generally good.

11)it will ask for hard disk space where it will install itself.

12)Recall,we have created 500MB of partition,select this & then select option swap partition.

13)similarly,you created 3GB of partition.her linux will get installed.select this partition carefully from the list of available partition.& then select option ext2/ext3 partition.ext2 is like fat/ntfs which we have in windows.

14)Now you will be presented with simple questions.for e.g choose the language from following etc.These configuration can be changed after installation also.

15)after complete installation.reboot your system & take your Linux cd out.when booting,u will be presented with grub interface where u can select which OS to boot & u will boot into that OS.

Best of Luck!
for any problem,do comment.

10 Fast and Free Security Enhancements

Before you spend a dime on security, there are many precautions you can take that will protect you against the most common threats.

1. Check Windows Update and Office Update regularly (_http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates); have your Office CD ready. Windows Me, 2000, and XP users can configure automatic updates. Click on the Automatic Updates tab in the System control panel and choose the appropriate options.

2. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate (_www.sygate.com) and ZoneAlarm (_www.zonelabs.com) offer free versions.

3. Install a free spyware blocker. SpyBot Search & Destroy (_http://security.kolla.de). SpyBot is paranoid and ruthless in hunting out tracking cookies.

4. Block pop-up spam messages in Windows NT, 2000, or XP by disabling the Windows Messenger service (this is unrelated to the instant messaging program). Open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services and you’ll see Messenger. Right-click and go to Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and press the Stop button. Bye-bye, spam pop-ups! Any good firewall will also stop them.

5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. A decent example would be f8izKro@l. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts.

6. If you’re using Outlook or Outlook Express, use the current version or one with the Outlook Security Update installed. The update and current versions patch numerous vulnerabilities.

7. Buy antivirus software and keep it up to date. If you’re not willing to pay, try Grisoft AVG Free Edition (Grisoft Inc., w*w.grisoft.com). And doublecheck your AV with the free, online-only scanners available at w*w.pandasoftware.com/activescan and _http://housecall.trendmicro.com.

8. If you have a wireless network, turn on the security features: Use MAC filtering, turn off SSID broadcast, and even use WEP with the biggest key you can get.

9. Join a respectable e-mail security list, such as the one found at our own Security Supersite at _http://security.ziffdavis.com, so that you learn about emerging threats quickly and can take proper precautions.

10. Be skeptical of things on the Internet. Don’t assume that e-mail "From:" a particular person is actually from that person until you have further reason to believe it’s that person. Don’t assume that an attachment is what it says it is. Don’t give out your password to anyone, even if that person claims to be from "support."
