(Free Members Only) Ever since personal computers have become a common household item, consumers and businesses alike have been driving the data recovery industry to new heights. Instead of keeping our photo albums, our music, video library, and important documents stored in nice binders or storage racks, we now opt to keep our stuff organized in digital files and folders on our personal computers. Computers have come so far, so fast, that most people just weren’t prepared how to protect their digital clouds of information, and many have lost their life’s work, their media library, even their baby pictures, because they were not backed-up.

What Is System Restore?
First of all, for those who don’t know what System Restore is, System Restore is a built-in Windows utility that can restore your computer’s “System Files” to a previous point in time.

As such, it also will not bring back any personal data files you may have lost. It will however, affect programs, windows updates, drivers, system settings, Windows account passwords, etc., that you have setup since the date of the System Restore point you are rolling back to.

But if you feel you have encountered some bad drivers like in this picture, read-on… Read More Here…

I have warned about CyberDefender’s “borderline scam” before under my “Reviews” category. But it seems like a good time to get out the warning again, especially since the economy has prompted so many people to try and fix their own computer problems, rather than to have them fixed by a professional. I call it a “borderline scam” because they probably do just enough to fulfill some bare-minimum, mumbo-jumbo legal requirement. First of all, MyCleanPC.com and DoubleMySpeed.com are alias websites for CyberDefender.com. These websites are all owned by the same company, which all promote the same products such as CyberDefender PC Checup, Early Detection Center, and Registry Cleaner. Read More Here…

No doubt, many have already heard about the death of Osama bin Laden on 01May2011 in Pakistan by U.S. Forces. Anyway, it is a well known fact that the perpetrators of viruses and spyware use stories, pictures, videos and email about sensational events to spread infections. There will obviously be many people searching the internet for the latest news, conspiracy theories, pictures and videos about anything to do with Osama bin Laden’s death. All I can say is to use caution when clicking on links in emails or search results having to do with the death of Osama bin Laden. Read More Here…
