Create Animated Tag Cloud for your Blogger

Hello.

Once again I modified my blog template. I was thinking of having a  3-D rotating tag cloud for my blog but could not find it anywhere. I've always loved this rotating tag cloud over simple one. So I decided to dedicate my today's leave for it and after a bit more search, finally I found the way. It looks something like this: 

I'm sharing the way with you over here.

Personal Shield Pro- A fake anti-virus software

Like an ordinary day, a few minutes ago, I was accessing net. Suddenly I noticed some antivirus, named "Personal Shield Pro", was disturbing me with its pop-ups which says that my system is infected with enormous viruses and malwares. I was surprised to see this new anti-virus software on my system. But I let it keep scanning my system. After it had scanned my system wholly, it told me that lots and lots of problems had been found and in order to rectify them, I need to upgrade this antivirus. I didn't bother to do so and kept doing my work.

Then suddenly I found that it is deactivating many of my system controls and processes like task manager, registry editor, some of my browser features, my taskbar icons etc. So I realized that this was something other than an antivirus software. I goggled for it and got various links which means to remove the Personal Shield Pro. This confirmed my doubt.

I opened one such link which suggests to download some anti-malware program. But this fake antivirus has already disabled any such function on my system. Tired of trying every possible thing, I decided why not to check "Safe Mode with Networking". I logged in again in safe mode with networking and deleted all the files from my "temporary folder". Please don't delete any file which your system might be using; simply skip deleting that file(s). After this I restarted my system in the usual mode and it was done. I finally got rid of that fake anti-virus program.
Some links on google shows to delete some registry entries and some files, but I did nothing like that.


In case if you find any such program, just check for it on net and take appropriate actions.

System Restore Point

Hello everyone.

I have windows 7 installed on my computer system which I love a lot.
Today when I was just checking different settings of my computer, I suddenly noticed that I have not created any system restore point yet.

System Restore point like a 'milestone' or a 'save point' that points to the system settings of the computer at the time when you created the restore point.
There are two types of system restore points: One which saves only your current system settings and the other one which not only saves your system settings but also your personal files and data. This means restoring in the former case, only your settings and installed drivers and/or programs will be reversed but in later case, your personal files and data will also be taken back to the previous state.

Lets check how these two types of restore points are created in windows 7.

For restore point of type 1 i.e. restoring only the system setting:-->
Right click on your 'My Computer' icon and select 'Properties'.

After this open 'System Protection'. System Protection dialog box will be opened. 

Click on 'Create' button. Add specific details in the prompted box and finally click on 'Create'.

Thats it. Your system restore point has been created. 
To create the System Restore point 2, i.e. to restore your data also, just switch the system protection 'on' for your disk partitions by clicking on 'Configure'.

Now the question is how to use your system restore point. Whenever you find any problem in your windows operating system that you are not able to crack, one simple solution is to restore to the point previously created by you.

 You can restore to any point but we generally restore to the most recent point.

Also in case you are about to re-install you windows in rare cases, then go for repair option. Then also you'll get a chance to restore your system to some previous setting.

So it is advisable to always keep save your latest and good working state of through system restore point.

Please post your queries. I'll try my level best to answer them.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Computing..!!!
