ReadyBoost is a feature that Microsoft introduced with the Windows Vista, and that makes the OS can use the USB stick as extra memory to store virtual memory. It enables you to have more RAM to work with and to your computer, in theory, becomes faster. With a quick and good USB memory stick it can work really well. Just go to My Computer , right click on your USB stick and select ReadyBoost.

Clean up and secure your PC, part 2: Remove programs

Remove your old programs that you no longer use, to make your computer more secure and to regain storage space.
In Windows, you will find a tool to uninstall programs from Control Panel. It's called the Add or Remove Programs. With this you can easily uninstall the tools and programs that you no longer use.
The problem with the Add or Remove Programs, it is not clean especially effective. Often left files behind, and almost always there is still a lot of keys and information in Windows registry. Therefore, there are other much more effective software.
What I recommend is Revo Uninstaller. This program is absolutely free and very easy to use. It includes several clever features, but as normal user, you can run it just like the standard Windows tools. Right-click on a program you want and select Uninstall.
In the window that opens, you will have to choose between different modes of uninstalls. The top simplest just run the program's own uninstall tool. It provides no effective removal, so I suggest you run Safe Mode or moderate position. The day will Revo Uninstaller also cleaning the registry, and select the most effective procedure is applied even hard disk is scanned for the left-behind junk files you can delete.

Why use cumbersome and slow in opening programs such as Windows Media Player and iTunes, to listen to music when there are software lightweight, ultra-fast and customizable as XMPlay?
XMPlay is a tiny free program and no-install (which requires no installation to work) that, once started, a user interface is divided into two parts: one with the controls and a playlist, and another with short extended to the playlist. Supports MP3, WMA, OGG's and many other types of audio files, including playlists.
Its control panel (accessed by right clicking on the main interface and clicking on "Options and stuff" context menu) allows you to customize the software in all its aspects. Affords a means to associate the various types of files to XMPlay, enable and adjust the equalizer, import the Winamp plugin, change the format of the playlist, and much, much more.
Also notable in XMPlay can integrate Windows context menu (to quickly open the music files in it, without changing the associations), to adjust the audio output settings and customize the software interface with different skins ( found on the official website of the program).

How to improve the management of updates against vulnerabilities

The current situation
Very often, security updates are distributed only after the vulnerability was announced and it leaves plenty of time to "bad." They usually have at least a month in which there are too much trouble finding people that we have not yet installed updates.
But because users do not install the updates as they are distributed? After all, most programs today include auto-update mechanisms, and then we do not even remember to download them.
Updates too laborious
However, there are problems in the current method by which updates are distributed applications. Most people use for months or even years, their PC without paying any attention to the periodic warnings displayed by the operating system and applications. The reason? While the procedure is almost completely automatic installation of updates is almost always a hassle, which leads to wasted time.
When you install an update to the browser for example, should close it and restart it, but they often have open many pages, many of which might be read. Before you close the browser, therefore necessary to consider them all to be sure not to miss anything, which still results in unnecessary loss of time.
How to improve the situation
The software house should organize the updates so that their installation does not affect user productivity.
For example, do not prevent use of an application while it is downloading updates. Make sure these are downloaded in the background and alert you only when everything is ready for installation. Of course it would be great if the application could install its own updates in the complete autonomy during normal use, but this is not reasonably possible.
However, most software manufacturers should be able without too much effort to provide for saving the state of an application before an upgrade, so you can restore to update installed. In any case, users almost never have as a priority the updates, even those related to your antivirus. Normally expect to buy a new PC. The best thing the computer industry can do then is to give users not making excuses updates as transparent as possible.
