How to Increase Laptop Performence and Save Power May 19, 2009
Posted by computerhelpandsupport in Computer Help, Operating System, Software Issue, Windows XP.1 comment so far
This post provide technical support tips to increase your Laptop Computer Performence and save electricity. (This tip has not been guaranteed to work – but it makes sense.)
Want to make your laptop computer more powerful and have it use less electrical energy? Impossible, you say? Perhaps not.
Remember that when you use a up to date operating system and run out of memory for your software, the operating system swaps out part of the memory to the hard disk to free up the memory for more tasks. If you run several programs at once or have little RAM, this swapping can occurconstantly, slowing the computer down.
Now, note that the laptop’s hard drive is a power drain on your battery. The more you must use the hard drive, the more the laptop uses the battery.
Naturally, it would seem that if you increase the RAM on your laptop, you would reduce the amount of memory swapping. This will increase your computer’s performance, and since your hard drive will be accessed less, could improve your battery life.

What is it ?
The “Conficker” worm / virus also known as “Downadup” infection, is actually a virus code programmed in such a way that it can infect your computer and spread itself to other computers across a network automatically, without human interaction.
Am I at risk of getting infected by Conficker worm?
Most antivirus software could detect and block the Conficker worm, so if you have updated antivirus software on your computer, you are at a much lower risk of being infected by the Conficker worm.
What does the Conficker worm do ?
One of its common version (Win32/Conficker.B) might spread through file sharing and via removable drives, such as USB drives (also known as thumb drives). The worm adds a file to the removable drive so that when the drive is used, the AutoPlay dialog will show one additional option.
The Conficker worm can also disable important services on your computer.
Example: The option Open folder to view files — Publisher not specified was added by the worm, and if used causes the virus to execute and spread further.

How do I remove the Conficker worm?
If your computer is infected with the Conficker worm, you may be unable to download certain security products, such as the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool or accessing certain Web sites, such as Microsoft Update. If you can’t access those tools, try using the Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner.
A Security Advisory is also being sent out to all iYogi customers as a heads up, via email as well as an alert via Support Dock.
