I was shocked when found out free space in my C drive is only 94MB left. At first I thought it was because of a virus attack so I did run virus scan on my computer but got negative result. So I run disk space analyzer and here is the result.
As you can see, 7GB space has been occupied by Installer folder in my C drive. But is it safe to remove all those files from my system?
When we delete a file, that file will move into Recycle Bin. There, we have options whether to restore it or just empty the Recycle Bin.
I usually empty my Recycle Bin before I shut down my computer. But, it would be more better if evertime when I delete a file, it will completely remove the file from the system and not send into the Recycle Bin. I can choose to use Shift+Delete but there is another better way to do so.
I use my PC mostly for blogging, internet surfing and sometimes pay bills online. I also store sensitive information such as my education grades (this can be sensitive information too :p ) in my PC. Everything that I do and files that I saved are recorded and stored into the hard disk. Even though I have deleted the files and removed “the traces”, they are still exist in my hard disk.
Maybe you have heard about this. When we delete a file, the file that we have deleted is not removed from our hard disk entirely. It is still exist in our hard disk but the operating system doesn’t know where to find it because the first byte of the file has been changed to E5 (a HEX value). The data is still remains on the hard disk unchanged unless when a new data is written on it.
If you have sensitive documents in your PC or you don’t want somebody else found what you did with the PC, you can wipe your traces by using Eraser. Eraser is a powerful tool that can help you to cover up your tracks. This freeware tool will overwrite the file up to 35 times when using Guttmann technique.
By default, Huawei E220 can only support up to 3.6Mbps speed. In Malaysia, 3.6Mbps is the top speed that 3.5G broadband users can get. But the truth is, it is just a fantasy. No one will get that speed.
By default, Huawei E220 only can handles 3.6Mbps connection
I even asked Celcom technician to do speedtest at place. Do you want to know how much speed that he got? Only 1.2Mbps. And the test was done in the morning (at low peak time). And when I asked why he only got 1.2Mbps and not 3.6Mbps or even 2Mbps? Here is what he replied,
“This is because our server can’t support so many users. If there are many users use the Internet at one time, the slowness will happen.”
Duh…what a very frustrating answer. Why don’t you guys (Celcom) use our money to upgrade the server? It is better than hearing our complaints every minutes and seconds.
But this “hack” can make it to 7.2Mbps
Ok, back to the article. How you can “hack” your Huawei E220 USB modem to make it supports up to 7.2Mbps speed? By default, Huawei E220 will only can operates at 3.6Mbps. But by doing this “hack” you can make it to operate at 7.2Mbps.
I found this effect at Neo’s blog. I don’t think it is suitable to use on my website so I use it on my personal website instead. You can see the demo at my personal blog or just visit Neo’s blog.
To setup this effect is not difficult. It only involves CSS and a shadow image. First what you need to do is download this shadow image and upload it to your theme image folder. Like in my case, I uploaded it into /images.
If you copy a single file which has size about 50Mb, it will take about 1 minute or maybe less to finish copying it. But if you want to copy a folder which has hundreds of files, it might take longer even though the size is similar.
But with TeraCopy, it can reduces the time. This tool is designed to copy and move files at the maximum speed and also provides with the following features:
Edit: Make sure you correct the apostrophe and the quote of the javascript first. It seems like I having problem with the character encoding. Does anyone know how to fix it?
The combination of username-password is the popular method to authenticate someone that he or she is the authorized person to use a service or has a privilege. Username can be viewed clearly but the password is hidden behind the asterisks. Although the password is hidden but we still can view it using software that is available from the Internet.
Snadboys’ Revelation is a freeware tool that you can use to reveal password behind the asterisks. I have tested it on my FTP client and it really works. I can see my hidden password like in the screenshot below.
After you have installed SnadBoys’ Revelation, run the software and drag the crosshair cursor to the asterisks. Then, the password will be revealed in Text of Window Under ‘Cricle’ + ‘Cursor’ .
Today I received more than 40 emails with the title, “Malaysian Dotcom Youth Search 2008” because of the silly mistake made by the crew. It is really disturbing when the email keeps coming again and again. If you marked the email as spam, it will not work because the sender is always different because it was sent by among the participants. Only those who participates the Malaysian Dotcom Youth Search 2008 know what other participants’ email.
Because of that, I defend my email using GMail secret weapon, the filters. The filters is use to filter emails based on the conditions you have set at ealier time. If one of the conditions is true, GMail will automatically do the next action whether starred the email, apply the label, delete the email, etc.
I have some GMail accounts and some other email accounts that I created from my cPanel. To manage and check the email accounts one by one is time consuming. Therefore, I use my primary GMail account to handle all the accounts. So I can read all the emails and send emails from that account only. I even can choose which email account that I want to use when I want to send an email. If you want to know how, here is how to do it.
Every computer needs an antivirus. Antivirus will protect your PC from viruses, trojans, worms and any harmful scripts that can destroy your computer. To protect my computer from this disaster, I’m using Kaspersky Internet Security.
So far, my Kaspersky doing its jobs very well. It protects my PC since the computer boots up until I shut it down. I am very happy with Kaspersky performance. When a virus is found, my Kaspersky will do its job without I need to choose which action to take. Here, I will share with you what settings that I use for my Kaspersky.
Note: Although this guide using Kaspersky Internet Security but it is also can be use for Kaspersky Antivirus.
