Windows® 7 Virus Removal
Virus is a very harmful piece of software. It would block both software and hardware performance. Thereby, your system performance gets down or you could get false output for some program. So, you need to remove this virus software from your system. In order to remove virus from your system you need to install software programs like antivirus software, anti spyware software etc. Trojan virus, Autorun Virus, Google redirect virus etc are some viruses which are able to alter the system performance. System requirements may vary for different virus protection software. To install virus protection software, your system needs to run with 500 MHz processor. 256 MB RAM is needed for running this software. Also, in order to store the files and folders for the Virus protection software in the hard disk it needs around 10 MB space. If you install this program without meeting the system requirement, you may face many errors during its processing or installation.
Given below are the tips to remove viruses and malicious content from Windows 7 system:
Antispyware program installation
Install Antimalware program
Online scanning
Antispyware program installation
Spyware Doctor, Microsoft Antispyware Beta, Spybot – Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware SE, SpyHunter, eTrust PestPatrol etc are the examples of Antispyware program. You could use all these tools to remove all virus programs from your system. These Antispyware softwares are able to detect and kill adware or spyware infected in your system. Antispyware program also prevents its attacks. So it keeps your system safe.
Install Antimalware program
Antimalware software is able to block the access of malicious sites to your system. You could easily protect your system from virus programs. You could choose latest Antimalware program from Internet. Updates for the malware program would help to increase the whole system performance as updates software contains new features and has the ability to detect the presence of new virus program.
Online scanning
One of the good methods to remove virus infection from your system is online scanning. In order to perform online scanning you need to visit the Antivirus software sites like bitDefender, ESET online scanner, etc. After opening these websites you could see the option to perform online scanning. The main advantage of this method is that you need not install any antivirus software in your system. Online scanning could be performed free of cost.
Top 100 Socially Networked Cities in the U.S.
Anyone who wants to rank socially networked cities is going to be in for a fight. But the brave souls at Men’sHealth aren’t shying away from a tussle, placing the top 100 most socially networked cities in order for all to see.
How did they do it? It appears to be a fair and scientifically valid procedure. First, Men’s Health figured out each city’s LinkedIn and Facebook users per capita, and then tapped the NetProspex marketing database to figure out each location’s amount of overall Twitter usage.
Not stopping there, the next step was to consult online ad network Chitika to quantify traffic from MySpace, Friendster, Reddit and Digg, and finally, SimplyMap helped determine the percentage of households using chat rooms and blogs.
The list below is as much a study of how to find this information as it is a valid assessment of which city has the bragging rights to calling itself The Capital of Social Networking. Speaking of capital, who knew our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., would be at the top of the list, or that Milwaukee (#45), the location of Mashable’s humble Midwest Test Facility, would rate higher than the mighty New York City (#53), home of Mashable HQ

Five-year-old Indian becomes millionaire
Dubai: A five-year-old Indian boy has become a millionaire overnight after winning a lottery at a national bond draw in Dubai.
Ebrahim Fahimuddin Shaikh became the second millionaire in 2011 when the February draw of National Bonds Corporation picked his name.
Ebrahim's father received the life changing call on Saturday"At first, I thought it was a prank call so I carried along with the call, shortly after it struck me, I am truly really speaking to National Bonds CEO in person," he said.
"I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness for my son! I realised I have just become the father of a millionaire and that my continued dedication to teaching Ebrahim the importance of savings has just been rewarded," Sheikh said.
Sheikh said he opted to save for his child's future at a young age with National Bonds saving scheme.
"Thank You National Bonds. I want to buy candy and sweets with it, save like my dad and get toys and gifts for my family," said the young winner.
Ebrahim's family represents the rapidly growing segment of expats in the UAE who are realising the importance of committing to a financially-safe lifestyle and a brighter tomorrow, by taking control of their finances through responsible spending and regular saving with a trustworthy highly rewarding scheme.
Till date, 63 per cent of National Bonds' millionaires have been expatriates, and more than 166 million Dirhams worth of prizes have been distributed to expat bondholders. With over 610,000 customers for the National Bonds, the number of
expatriate bondholders increased by 8 per cent between 2009 and 2010.
Mohammed Qasim Al Ali, CEO of National Bonds Corporation said that the scheme continues to exceed customers' expectations by offering innovative initiatives to make saving a rewarding and enriching experience.
"Most of our customers have turned to more frequent savers since they joined the programme, giving them financial security and peace-of-mind. I am proud to see more and more customers and their families committing to savings and looking ahead for a better financial future."
He said that minors such as Ebrahim form 13 per cent of the overall number of bondholders and this number has increased year on year.
"This means that we are encouraging positive savings values from a younger age and this enhanced financial responsibility will lead to a stable economy in the future," he said.
Recharge your mobile phone in seconds
Recharge your mobile phone in seconds
Washington: An amazing 3D nanostructure designed and developed by scientists may make it possible to recharge mobile phones in seconds or a laptop within minutes.
The 3D nanostructure has been designed by scientists at the University of Illinois.
The nanostructure would also charge high power lasers and defibrillators, required in surgeries, without loss of time between pulses, the journal Nature Nanotechnology reports.
Paul Braun's group at Illinois developed the nanostructure for battery cathodes that allows for dramatically faster charging and discharging without sacrificing energy storage capacity, according to a statement.
Aside from quick-charge consumer electronics, batteries that can store a lot of energy, release it fast and recharge quickly are desirable for electric vehicles, medical devices, lasers and military applications.
"This system that we have gives you capacitor-like power with battery-like energy," said Braun, professor of materials science and engineering at Illinois.
"Most capacitors store very little energy. They can release it very fast, but they can't hold much. Most batteries store a reasonably large amount of energy, but they can't provide or receive energy rapidly. This does both."
The performance of typical lithium-ion (Li-ion) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries degrades significantly when they are rapidly charged or discharged.
Making the active material in the battery a thin film allows for very fast charging and discharging, but reduces the capacity to nearly zero because the active material lacks volume to store energy.
Braun's group wraps a thin film into 3D structure, achieving both high active volume (high capacity) and large current.
They have demonstrated battery electrodes that can charge or discharge in a few seconds, 10 to 100 times faster than equivalent bulk electrodes, yet can perform normally in existing devices.
Braun is particularly optimistic for the batteries' potential in electric vehicles, which would slash charging time from half a day to a few minutes.
