Remove autorun.inf manually

Posted by admin on November 9th, 2008

So i will tell u how to remove autorun.inf virus which is cause of opening
of your drives in separate window when u click on the drive name in my computer

There is a Trojan/virus (either the Win32/Pacex virus or the Win32/PSW.Agent.NDP trojan) that uses those two files. Here is how you can get rid of them:

Open up Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del)

If wscript.exe is running, end it.

If explorer.exe is running, end it.

Open up “File | New Task (Run)” in the Task manager

Run cmd

Run the following command del #:\autorun.* /f/a/s/q with other drives in turn

where # is replaced by drive name e.g-c,d,e etc

Be careful with this command it can delete your all data one by one from your hdd if execute wrongly so place your mouse on x position of cmd prompt windows and if it starts deleting your files close it

or we can do this step by without ending explorer.exe

Just hit windows+R it will show you run dialog box now type cmd there,it will give you command prompt

now navigate to #:\ where # replaced with your different drive name

i am taking the example of c:\ drive

now write c:\del/a/s/q/f and give a space now press tab until you see autorun.inf press enter

now yo done do the rest steps as i said (be careful see clearly autorun.inf before deleting it and don’t delete any ntdelect there it may crash your system)

Go to your Windows\System32 directory by typing cd c:\windows\system32

Type dir /a avp*.*

If you see any files names avp0.dll or avpo.exe or avp0.exe, use the following commands to delete each of them:

attrib -r -s -h avpo.exe
del avpo.exe

Use the Task Manager’s Run command to fire up regedit

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run (as usual, take a backup of your registry before touching it!)

If there are any entries for avpo.exe, delete them.

Do a complete search of your registry for ntde1ect.com and delete any entries you find.

Restart your computer.

Then see the changes.. (there are other antivirus software which will remove autorun.inf like node 32)

Ex-MPAA and IFPI Anti-Piracy Enforcer Shot Dead

Posted by admin on November 6th, 2008

A man described as an “anti-piracy hero” has been gunned down in Thailand. Kasim Cha Tong, a former director of the MPA and anti-piracy campaigner for the IFPI, died by a single shot from a sawn-off shotgun. The killer escaped. Police are investigating the possibility that this was an assassination.

Tong Kasim Cha Tong made a name for himself as deputy regional director of the IFPI, tackling music piracy in the 1980’s. Tong was also a director of the MPA, leading many anti-piracy operations. He gained respect from the US music industry for his efforts with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency, where he worked to support the rights of foreign musical artists.

On Monday night, 56 year-old Tong, now a leading lawyer, was having dinner in a Sungai Golok border town restaurant with friends, but when he left he was killed by a single shot from an assailant with a sawn-off shotgun. The killer then fled on a waiting motorcycle, with some reports suggesting two men were involved.

Ruling out robbery as a motive for the attack, deputy police chief Seman Wan Salleh said that he believed the killer was eating in the same restaurant as Tong, although the pair had no contact while they were there and no immediate incident prompted the attack. Police are looking into the possibility that this was an assassination.

A former policeman, Tong Could’ve made enemies in many areas of his work, but commercial piracy is big business in his part of the world and attracts people prepared to take action direct action to protect their business.

MPA anti-piracy pooches, Lucky and Flo, found themselves under death-threat earlier this year, after they were involved in a major operation that netted around $3 million worth of pirate discs and burning equipment. The threats from the crime syndicate involved were taken seriously, with the Malaysian government taking steps to protect the dogs. This year, another anti-piracy dog, Manny, died under mysterious circumstances.

Divorced two years ago from his wife Irene, Tong leaves two sons and a daughter.

44 Mistakes Should Avoid while building a site

Posted by admin on October 11th, 2008

1. User must know whats the site is about within a second: attention is one the most valuable intrest on the Internet. If a visitor can not figure what your site is about in a couple of seconds, he will probably just go somewhere else. Your site must communicate the user that why I should spend my time there, and FAST matter is simple just to get users answer!

2. Make the content easly understandable: this is the Internet, not a book, so forget large blocks of text. So be upto the point means straight to the point.

3. Do not use fancy fonts that are unreadable: surely there are some fonts that will give a sophisticated look to your website. But are they readable? If your main objective is to deliver a message and get the visitors reading your stuff, then you should make the process comfortable for them.Which is easily been readable by others so please use clean font for eg: Verdana

4. Do not use tiny fonts: the previous point applies here, you want to make sure that readers are comfortable reading your content. My Firefox does have a zooming feature, but if I need to use on your website it will probably be the last time I visit it.so please keep the font normal one not to big not to tiny .

5. Do not open new browser windows: I used to do that on my first websites. The logic was simple, if I open new browser windows for external links the user will never leave my site. WRONG! Let the user control where he wants the links to open. There is a reason why browsers have a huge “Back” button. Do not worry about sending the visitor to another website, he will get back if he wants to (even porn sites are starting to get conscious regarding this point lately…).

6. Do not resize the user’s browser windows: the user should be in control of his browser. If you resize it you will risk to mess things up on his side, and what is worse you might lose your credibility in front of him.

7. Do not require a registration unless it is necessary: lets put this straight, when I browse around the Internet I want to get information, not the other way around. Do not force me to register up and leave my email address and other details unless it is absolutely necessary (i.e. unless what you offer is so good that I will bear with the registration).

8. Never subscribe the visitor for something without his consent: do not automatically subscribe a visitor to newsletters when he registers up on your site. Sending unsolicited emails around is not the best way to make friends. Let the user decide does he like your site or not.

9. Do not overuse Flash: apart from increasing the load time of your website, excessive usage of Flash might also annoy the visitors. Use it only if you must offer features that are not supported by static pages. To flashy takes lots of time so use simple sites with some quantity of flash inorder to look beautiful.

10. Do not play music: on the early years of the Internet web developers always tried to successfully integrate music into websites. Guess what, they failed miserably. Do not use music, period.

11. If you MUST play an audio file let the user start it: some situations might require an audio file. You might need to deliver a speech to the user or your guided tour might have an audio component. That is fine. Just make sure that the user is in control, let him push the “Play” button as opposed to jamming the music on his face right after he enters the website.

12. Do not clutter your website with badges: first of all, badges of networks and communities make a site look very unprofessional. Even if we are talking about awards and recognition badges you should place them on the “About Us” page.

13. Do not use a homepage that just launches the “real” website: the smaller the number of steps required for the user to access your content, the better.

14. Make sure to include contact details: there is nothing worse than a website that has no contact details. This is not bad only for the visitors, but also for yourself. You might lose important feedback along the way.

15. Do not break the “Back” button: this is a very basic principle of usability. Do not break the “Back” button under any circumstance. Opening new browser windows will break it, for instance, and some Javascript links might also break them.

16. Do not use blinking text: unless your visitors are coming straight from 1996, that is.

17. Avoid complex URL structures: a simple, keyword-based URL structure will not only improve your search engine rankings, but it will also make it easier for the reader to identify the content of your pages before visiting them.

18. Use CSS over HTML tables: HTML tables were used to create page layouts. With the advent of CSS, however, there is no reason to stick to them. CSS is faster, more reliable and it offers many more features.

19. Make sure users can search the whole website: there is a reason why search engines revolutionized the Internet. You probably guessed it, because they make it very easy to find the information we are looking for. Do not neglect this on your site.

20. Avoid “drop down” menus: the user should be able to see all the navigation options straight way. Using “drop down” menus might confuse things and hide the information the reader was actually looking for.

21. Use text navigation: text navigation is not only faster but it is also more reliable. Some users, for instance, browse the Internet with images turned off.

22. If you are linking to PDF files disclose it: ever clicked on a link only to see your browser freezing while Acrobat Reader launches to open that (unrequested) PDF file? That is pretty annoying so make sure to explicit links pointing to PDF files so that users can handle them properly.

23. Do not confuse the visitor with many versions: avoid confusing the visitor with too many versions of your website. What bandwidth do I prefer? 56Kbps? 128Kbps? Flash or HTML? Man, just give me the content!

24. Do not blend advertising inside the content: blending advertising like Adsense units inside your content might increase your click-through rate on the short term. Over the long run, however, this will reduce your readership base. An annoyed visitor is a lost visitor.

25. Use a simple navigation structure: sometimes less is more. This rule usually applies to people and choices. Make sure that your website has a single, clear navigation structure. The last thing you want is to confuse the reader regarding where he should go to find the information he is looking for.

26. Avoid “intros”: do not force the user to watch or read something before he can access to the real content. This is plain annoying, and he will stay only if what you have to offer is really unique.

27. Do not use FrontPage: this point extends to other cheap HTML editors. While they appear to make web design easier, the output will be a poorly crafted code, incompatible with different browsers and with several bugs.

28. Make sure your website is cross-browser compatible: not all browsers are created equal, and not all of them interpret CSS and other languages on the same way. Like it or not, you will need to make your website compatible with the most used browsers on the market, else you will lose readers over the long term.

29. Make sure to include anchor text on links: I confess I used to do that mistake until some time ago. It is easier to tell people to “click here”. But this is not efficient. Make sure to include a relevant anchor text on your links. It will ensure that the reader knows where he is going to if he clicks the link, and it will also create SEO benefits for the external site where the link is pointing.

30. Do not cloak links: apart from having a clear anchor text, the user must also be able to see where the link is pointing on the status bar of his browser. If you cloak your links (either because they are affiliate ones or due to other reasons) your site will lose credibility.

31. Make links visible: the visitor should be able to recognize what is clickable and what is not, easily. Make sure that your links have a contrasting color (the standard blue color is the optimal most of the times). Possibly also make them underlined.

32. Do not underline or color normal text: do not underline normal text unless absolutely necessary. Just as users need to recognize links easily, they should not get the idea that something is click able when in reality it is not.

33. Make clicked links change color: this point is very important for the usability of your website. Clicked links that change color help the user to locate himself more easily around your site, making sure that he will not end up visiting the same pages unintentionally.

34. Do not use animated GIFs: unless you have advertising banners that require animation, avoid animated GIFs. They make a site look unprofessional and detract the attention from the content.

35. Make sure to use the ALT and TITLE attributes for images: apart from having SEO benefits the ALT and TITLE attributes for images will play an important role for blind users.

36. Do not use harsh colors: if the user is getting a headache after visiting your site for 10 consecutive minutes, you probably should pick a better color scheme. Design the color palette around your objectives (i.e. deliver a mood, let the user focus on the content, etc.).

37. Do not use pop ups: this point refers to pop ups of any kind. Even user requested pop ups are a bad idea given the increasing amount of pop blockers out there.

38. Avoid Javascript links: those links execute a small Javascript when the user clicks on them. Stay away from them since they often create problems for the user.

39. Include functional links on your footer: people are used to scrolling down to the footer of a website if they are not finding a specific information. At the very least you want to include a link to the Homepage and possibly a link to the “Contact Us” page.

40. Avoid long pages: guess what, if the user needs to scroll down forever in order to read your content he will probably just skip it altogether. If that is the case with your website make it shorter and improve the navigation structure.

41. No horizontal scrolling: while some vertical scrolling is tolerable, the same can not be said about horizontal scrolling. The most used screen resolution nowadays is 1024 x 768 pixels, so make sure that your website fits inside it.

42. No spelling or grammatical mistakes: this is not a web design mistake, but it is one of the most important factors affecting the overall quality of a website. Make sure that your links and texts do not contain spelling or grammatical mistakes.

43. If you use CAPTCHA make sure the letters are readable: several sites use CAPTCHA filters as a method of reducing spam on comments or on registration forms. There is just one problem with it, most of the times the user needs to call his whole family to decipher the letters.

44.Straight to the point :let your site be simple and straight to the point as mentioned earlier so that users like your site and generate more traffic.

Don’t Get Caught with Google Adsense

Posted by admin on October 1st, 2008

Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment. Considering the money that they are getting from Adsense, they would certainly want to get back into it.

Considering the money to be made with Adsense, it is no wonder that they would want to get back into it.

It is that same consideration why the Google Ad sense click fraud is thought of and why many people are getting into it.

Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying out cash for false leads. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that Adsense is facing.

How do you prevent being involved in this fraud?

Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. Once this is offered to you, it is necessary that you hand it over to Google as well. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very serious and giving it to them is saying that you would want to help them in any way you can in solving the problem.

It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. If you do not have one yet, you should try and get one. There is absolutely no major factor preventing you from having one because most of this software is free.

As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way a part of it.

Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or small thing.

You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do through a HTTP access file. This will avoid Google mistaking as clicking on your own ads and be kicked out because of it.

Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. Included in this are the content that is considered adult and gambling ones. If you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Or the times when you have done something that is against the Terms of Service that they are implementing. Be honest about anything that you may have done that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and no getting back what you have worked so hard for.

Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm to you than help by trying it in the first place.

If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense makes sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances. It would be wise to brief them on important things about Adsense and what not to do with them.

Most pay per click networks has different measures in hand to protect website owners against click frauds. Other search engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browser’s information, user’s session info and pattern recognition. They also have “systems” available that detects fraud. Not to mention the specialized teams monitoring how things are going and helping advertisers stop click frauds.

Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. Using “negative keywords” can be used to keep your Adsense showing on products and services that are in no way related to yours. Adding tracking URLs to your links so you can track the traffic coming from Google.

Do not be caught in the Google click fraud. Be aware and be wary.

Best thing is you dont click your own ADS let the user who visits your site click it ..

The fruit of patience is sweet.

Computer ATX Motherboard and its components

Posted by admin on September 22nd, 2008

There are primarily two types of motherboards, AT motherboard, and ATX motherboard. AT motherboards are older, and not commonly used now a day. The AT and ATX motherboards differ in the form factor. Full AT is 12″ wide x 13.8″ deep, and Baby AT is 8.57″ wide x 13.04″ deep. Full-ATX is 12″ wide x 9.6″ deep and Mini-ATX is 11.2″ wide x 8.2″ deep. Other major differences include power supply connector, and keyboard connector. AT has 5-pin large keyboard connector, where as ATX has 6-pin mini connector. Similarly, AT has single row two connectors +/-5V, and +/-12V, whereas ATX motherboard has double row single connector providing +/-5V, +/-12V, and +3.3V.

Atx Motherboard:

The important constituent components of an ATX Motherboard are given below:

Mouse & keyboard
USB
Parallel port
CPU Chip
RAM slots
Floppy controller
IDE controller
PCI slot
ISA slot
CMOS Battery
AGP slot
CPU slot
Power supply plug in

1. Mouse & keyboard: Keyboard Connectors are two types basically. All PCs have a Key board port connected directly to the motherboard. The oldest, but still quite common type, is a special DIN, and most PCs until recently retained this style connector. The AT-style keyboard connector is quickly disappearing, being replaced by the smaller mini DIN PS/2-style keyboard connector.

2. USB (Universal serial bus):

USB is the General-purpose connection for PC. You can find USB versions of many different devices, such as mice, keyboards, scanners, cameras, and even printers. a USB connector’s distinctive rectangular shape makes it easily recognizable. USB has a number of features that makes it particularly popular on PCs. First, USB devices are hot swappable. You can insert or remove them without restarting your system.

3. Parallel port: Most printers use a special connector called a parallel port. Parallel port carry data on more than one wire, as opposed to the serial port, which uses only one wire. Parallel ports use a 25-pin female DB connector. Parallel ports are directly supported by the motherboard through a direct connection or through a dangle.

4. CPU Chip: The central processing unit, also called the microprocessor performs all the calculations that take place inside a pc. CPUs come in Variety of shapes and sizes.

Modern CPUs generate a lot of heat and thus require a cooling fan or heat sink. The cooling device (such as a cooling fan) is removable, although some CPU manufactures sell the CPU with a fan permanently attached.

5. RAM slots: Random-Access Memory (RAM) stores programs and data currently being used by the CPU. RAM is measured in units called bytes. RAM has been packaged in many different ways. The most current package is called a 168-pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory module).

6. Floppy controller: The floppy drive connects to the computer via a 34-pin ribbon cable, which in turn connects to the motherboard. A floppy controller is one that is used to control the floppy drive.

7. IDE controller: Industry standards define two common types of hard drives: EIDE and SCSI. Majority of the PCs use EIDE drives. SCSI drives show up in high end PCs such as network servers or graphical workstations. The EIDE drive connects to the hard drive via a 2-inch-wide, 40-pin ribbon cable, which in turn connects to the motherboard. IDE controller is responsible for controlling the hard drive.

8. PCI slot: Intel introduced the Peripheral component interconnect bus protocol. The PCI bus is used to connect I/O devices (such as NIC or RAID controllers) to the main logic of the computer. PCI bus has replaced the ISA bus.

9. ISA slot: (Industry Standard Architecture) It is the standard architecture of the Expansion bus. Motherboard may contain some slots to connect ISA compatible cards.

10. CMOS Battery: To provide CMOS with the power when the computer is turned off all motherboards comes with a battery. These batteries mount on the motherboard in one of three ways: the obsolete external battery, the most common onboard battery, and built-in battery.

11. AGP slot: If you have a modern motherboard, you will almost certainly notice a single connector that looks like a PCI slot, but is slightly shorter and usually brown. You also probably have a video card inserted into this slot. This is an Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) slot

12. CPU slot: To install the CPU, just slide it straight down into the slot. Special notches in the slot make it impossible to install them incorrectly. So remember if it does not go easily, it is probably not correct. Be sure to plug in the CPU fan’s power.

13. Power supply plug in: The Power supply, as its name implies, provides the necessary electrical power to make the pc operate. the power supply takes standard 110-V AC power and converts into +/-12-Volt, +/-5-Volt, and 3.3-Volt DC power.

What is svchost.exe ?

Posted by admin on September 17th, 2008

One of my friend named JP Ullals who is a system admin of KPT had a discussion with me on the related topic whats the hell is svchost.exe what is doing on the computer and even i too had a doubt andyou have no doubt reading this article because you are wondering why on earth there are nearly a dozen processes running with the name svchost.exe. You can’t kill them, and you don’t remember starting them… so what are they? and what they do ?

So What Is SVCHOST?

According to Microsoft: “svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries”. Could we have that in english please?

Some time ago, Microsoft started moving all of the functionality from internal Windows services into .dll files instead of .exe files. From a programming perspective this makes more sense for reusability… but the problem is that you can’t launch a .dll file directly from Windows, it has to be loaded up from a running executable (.exe). Thus the svchost.exe process was born.

Why Are There So Many svchost.exes Running?

If you’ve ever taken a look at the Services section in control panel you might notice that there are a Lot of services required by Windows. If every single service ran under a single svchost.exe instance, a failure in one might bring down all of Windows… so they are separated out.

Those services are organized into logical groups, and then a single svchost.exe instance is created for each group. For instance, one svchost.exe instance runs the 3 services related to the firewall. Another svchost.exe instance might run all the services related to the user interface, and so on.

So What Can I Do About It?

You can trim down unneeded services by disabling or stopping the services that don’t absolutely need to be running. Additionally, if you are noticing very heavy CPU usage on a single svchost.exe instance you can restart the services running under that instance.

The biggest problem is identifying what services are being run on a particular svchost.exe instance… we’ll cover that below.

If you are curious what we’re talking about, just open up Task Manager and check the “Show processes from all users” box:

Checking From the Command Line (Vista or XP)

If you want to see what services are being hosted by a particular svchost.exe instance, you can use the tasklist command from the command prompt in order to see the list of services.

tasklist /SVC

The problem with using the command line method is that you don’t necessarily know what these cryptic names refer to.

Checking in Task Manager in Vista

You can right-click on a particular svchost.exe process, and then choose the “Go to Service” option.

This will flip over to the Services tab, where the services running under that svchost.exe process will be selected:

The great thing about doing it this way is that you can see the real name under the Description column, so you can choose to disable the service if you don’t want it running.

you can double-click on a svchost.exe instance and select the Services tab, where you can choose to stop one of the services if you choose.

Disabling Services

Open up Services from the administrative tools section of Control Panel, or type services.msc into the start menu search or run box.

Find the service in the list that you’d like to disable, and either double-click on it or right-click and choose Properties.

Change the Startup Type to Disabled, and then click the Stop button to immediately stop it.

You could also use the command prompt to disable the service if you choose. In this command “trkwks” is the Service name from the above dialog, but if you go back to the tasklist command at the beginning of this article you’ll notice you can find it there as well.

sc config trkwks start= disabled

How to find password of the downloaded link

Posted by admin on September 12th, 2008

I know how frustrating it is when you download a large file from the net to find out that it is locked with a password, which you don’t have. Cracking the password with softwares like Advanced password recovery is out of the question because it takes nearly 3 days to guess a 8 character long password. And none can spend that
kinda time.

Today I am gonna post a method to find out passwords for archive files which you downloaded from file sharers like -
Rapidshare, Megaupload,Easyshare etc

It is pretty easy, fast and doesn’t require you to use any software other than a Browser.

What you need -
1. A browser (preferably Mozilla Firefox)
2. The file for which you are searching the password must be popular.

How to do it -

Lets assume that one wants to find password for this file -
http://rapidshare.de/files/5968004/Dead.To…part01.rar.html

In the Google Search toolbar in FireFox copy the name of the file, in this case – Dead.To.Rights.2-RELOADED.part01.rar

Or you can manually go to www.google.com and search in the default search box.

By checking the Actual Url one can see that /forum/index.php?showtopic=8927&view=findpost&p=119588
is a link to a topic in a forum, and hence by clicking on the link, we are taken to a forum page.

The forum is in some other language, but it doesn’t matter. On scrolling down the page one can see the links to the file for which we need the password. And most probably the password will posted at the end of the link list .

This is easy way to find password of the software which you missed to note down . The best precaution is to note the password in a notepad so it may be useful while extracting the software.

Google Chrome Inside Out

Google Chrome is out, brand new and shiny, and with its launch a new set of standards for all web browsers is implemented for both end users and developers. At this moment the Internet is flooded with details and info on Google’s newest and hottest application designed to link the user to the pool of information on the web.

Unlike successful browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera and even Internet Explorer, Google’s approach in building Chrome differs in that the app is built from scratch without giving in to formalities (that is why, at first use, most users will waste time looking for the menu bar). The program seems as if all the features were added as soon as the tester needed them. None of its features are unnecessary or redundant in terms of access.

Installing Chrome is nothing complicated as the automatic downloader and installer does the entire job for you and there is no need to go through the classic “Next” buttons. Everything is done automatically and at the end of the process you will be able to import bookmarks, passwords and other settings from Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. With this over you will be able to “chrome” your way on the web.

Interface

Chrome comes all wrapped up in a minimalistic interface designed outside the box and not cluttered with loads of features and options. The lack of a menu and title bar in maximized mode enhances user attention on the opened webpage and provides a better web experience. You have no bells and whistles to tinker with and all focus is shifted from the web-shell to the actual information displayed.

The interface is of a disturbing simplicity, but the basic features are there, and they managed to implement some unique options. The ubiquitous drag and drop function has been exploited more than in other browsers and with Chrome you can open an existing tab in a new window just by grabbing it and dragging it outside the tab bar. URLs can be easily saved in any file manager with a drop.

If you want to open the “Find” dialog all you have to do is type in the classic shortcut (Ctrl+F) and it will slide down allowing you to enter your search query. The great thing is that the results will be highlighted as you type so you don’t have to finish the query in order to find what you need.

As unimportant as it may seem, the address bar integrated in Google Chrome has some particularities of its own. It is nothing you’ve ever seen so far because the developers extracted the best features from the most used browsers on the market and adapted them for their own. With Chrome’s Omnibar (address bar) you will benefit from a drop of Firefox’s Awesome Bar mixed with IE’s domain highlighting feature. Basically, it features auto-completion and search capabilities in one truly useful bar.

Opera has not been forgotten and opening new tabs seems inspired from the Norwegian browser’s Speed Dial feature. The difference consists in the fact that Chrome will display small live thumbs only of the most visited pages stripping the user of any control over the feature and making the process more preference-dependant.

And to extend its functionality even more you can use it as a search bar as well by simply typing in the query. The choice for the search engine to be used is not limited in any way as it gives you the possibility to set as default whatever page you want.

Customization

There isn’t much to say in this chapter as Google Chrome has been designed to be as light as possible and very few of the usual options are available. Current Page Control button in the far right of the upper part of the window shelters regular options such as opening a new tab or a new window, cut/copy/paste functions as well printing the page, changing zoom page and choosing a different encoding, but there are some elements you are not going to find in many other web browsers on the market.

The “Incognito Window” option is one of them. Designed to allow you to disable browsing history tracking, the Incognito mode is similar in action and result to Safari’s Private Browsing, but more flexible as it allows you control over individual tabs rather than the entire application. When a web page is opened in this stealth mode, downloaded files, history as well as cookies will no longer be recorded by the browser, without affecting surfing experience in any way. However, this does not mean that visited locations will not be able to record your activity.

“Application shortcuts” is an extraordinary addition as it allows you to open web applications without starting your browser, just as if they were installed on your desktop. The shortcuts can automatically load the web apps and all you have to do is press a button and decide where you want the shortcut created: desktop, quick launch area, start menu or all of them. However, you should know that not all services work, but you don’t have to worry about the services provided by Google.

Google Chrome features a developer’s section from where you can view the source of the current page, use Debug JavaScript function, JavaScript console and a Task Manager. The latter is not the applet in Windows but one that displays the statistics (RAM and CPU usage) for each of the tabs loaded in Chrome in real-time.

The multi-process design of the application will cause the listing of multiple Chrome processes in Windows Task Manager as each tab is treated individually. This little gimmick will prevent the crashing of the entire application because of a single tab, making the web experience smoother. It is similar to the improvement made in the recent release of IE8 (tab isolation).

Even with this improvement, be prepared to give up a huge slice of your RAM and a good chunk of the CPU. This downside may be enough reason for some to wait a while longer ‘till the final version of the application is out and, hopefully, the resource usage problem is fixed.

Looking on the bright side, though, Chrome offers you the chance to compare resource usage of multiple web browsers by going to the “Stats for nerds” section of the Task Manager or by typing “about:memory” in the address bar. It can track the resource usage of IE, Firefox, Opera or Safari, all at once, and display the statistics clearly, broken into private memory, shared memory, total memory used as well as virtual memory (private and mapped) required. The same stats are available for each and every tab of Chrome.

For the geekiest of us the developers of Chrome made available a few treats for viewing different stats. Play with Google’s browser by typing in “about:stats“, “about:network“, “about:histograms“, “about:plugins“, “about:cache” or “about:dns“. I’m sure you’ll have fun reading the info. And if you want to totally crash go ahead and type “:%” (that’s the column sign followed by percentage).

Configuring the browser (Options menu) is nothing complicated but the basic functions are there. You can set it to startup opening the homepage, restore the last opened pages or open user-specific pages. It is in the Options menu where you get to specify the default search engine and add whichever website suits your searches best, or decide to make Google Chrome the default browser.

The “Minor Tweaks” section allows you to set the default download location or enable password saving. The application offers you full control over the stored passwords as it permits removing any of the items from the list with the greatest ease.

A look “Under the Hood” reveals the usual options in a web browser: proxy settings change, certificate management and cookie control. One impressive option is the anti-phishing and anti-malware one right under the “Security” section. And more impressive was the fact that the option works and does a pretty good job. During our testing only 2 out of 14 different phishes we tested slipped Chrome’s detection.

Despite its beta stage, Google’s browser comes prepared for regular download tasks integrating a download manager able to pause the job, show the download link as well as the date when a specific file was downloaded. As expected, you can view the progress and when finished, open the file directly from Chrome, thus avoiding wasting time looking for it in the file manager.

To make the transition from another web browser easier, Google’s latest development boasts bookmark and settings import from IE and Mozilla Firefox (Opera and Safari are left out on this one, probably on account of market share). But contrary to my expectations there is no export function yet so I would really advise you not to rely 100% on Chrome, just to be on the safe side.

The Good

Google Chrome is definitely a breath of fresh air in terms of design and looks. It comes with a clear imprint of out-of-the-box thinking and opens the way to improvement in other browsers as well, elevating users’ expectations.

Allowing users to treat web apps as regular software installed on the computer and launching them in separate windows without the need of a web browser is one of the best innovations in Chrome. Safari’s Private Browsing has an improved correspondent in Chrome allowing you to use stealth-per-tab instead of setting the entire application to invisible mode.

The Bad

One of the greatest downsides of the web browser is that it does not come fully equipped for heavy duty users. There is a striking lack of options starting with the elementary tab management and ending with bookmark management, two things absolutely essential in a web browser.

Users have no possibility of exporting settings and bookmarks to a different browser which is a serious drop in flexibility.

The Truth

The truth is that Google Chrome is like a Frankenstein taken to the web browser beauty salon. It is all stitched up from pieces of Safari, IE, Firefox and Opera and all of them look and function great in the atypical interface they are all wrapped in.

However, all these, though great contributors to a fantastic user experience, have quite a negative impact on Chrome’s personality. The one feature truly screaming “Google” is the shortcut creation for web applications while the Omnibar is a mixture of two different browsers.

It is great if you are not a heavy user and your standards do not extend to more than a pretty-looking interface and basic functions. But, I have to admit that I kind of liked it and I truly hope it turns into a web browser for all users, experienced and beginners alike. Source : www.softpedia.com
