The Delta Toolbar
The Delta Toolbar is the lastest malware to hit the Windows Operating System market. This is hard to remove, since you can remove parts of it, whilst leaving other parts still active. Have a chat, if you think you have this Malware

How not to Trash your Mac
A word of warning to Apple Mac users, especially those that think placing items in their Trash, clears disk space, this is not the case. The room is still used by the system, until the Trash is emptied. Leaving items in the Trash means that you cannot tell when your machine 's hard drive is becoming full. This is because items in the Trash do not provide file sizes and is normally based on a percentage of the over-all drive size.

Want a faster working machine
Having your machine serviced, just like your car, is a worthwhile thing to do, it will run faster, be virus and malware free. It also means that your software can be kept up to date, for only one hour of your time on the machine once a month. @1stLineSupport can also ensure your backups are being taken and working, just in case.

Have you backed up your important data recently?
Backups of your data are really important, especially if you do not have your machine serviced, regularly. Your machine could fail at anytime, even with servicing, but at least you are pre-warned of most situations. So as to ensure that backups are taken, you need a product that can backup without you having to remember to do it. Scheduling the task is what iDrive features. You get 5GBs for free, just for signing up. The software will guide you through the setup. Once the backup has run, the process will take only newly created and modified files, so will take much less time to complete.

Entry level Apple Mac mini
Are you thinking of getting an Apple Mac, then the Apple Mac mini is a good starting point. Boosting an Intel Core i5 2.3GHz processor, 3MB of L3 cache and comes with 2Gb of memory, expandable to 8GB. It also has 4 USB 2.0 ports, a HDMI, a DVI port, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Firewire. The one thing that it does not come with is an Optical drive. So playing DVDs directly is out, as is loading your software using this method. You can obtain external CD/DVD drives, to resolve this or download directly from other machines or the internet.

Social Network Training
We provide a variety of training, based on your actual requirements, rather than a set list of want we think you should know. Most training courses provide a fixed set of lessons, teaching you how to achieve something, we believe that your best requirement, is to actually understand the subject and be shown how to make the most of that subject. We teach you in your own time, at your own pace, on your own equipment. This helps in that, you are not learning on computers you have never seen before. You learn on your own machine, so everything is familiar to you. We provide knowledge on any social platform you wish to get the best use out of:- Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Qype Foursquares Yelp Ecademy Paypal And many more, like MS Word, MS Excel, MS Access, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, MySQL, MS SQL, PHP, HTML, VisualBasic Once you have finished your training, we are still available for those moments, where you just cannot remember and need a prompt, in the right direction.

Google Chrome OS review
Just downloaded the latest version of Google Chrome OS, installation took a couple of attempts on my VirtualBox emulator, but third time lucky, it finally installed. Google in their wisdom have chosen to use Gnome instead of KDE, personally I think this is a poor move. But, one advantage is that since Google Chrome OS is actually SUSE Linux, you can quickly change this in Yast. Again, SUSE is not my recommended distribution of Linux, I prefer Mandriva. At least this is a stable version, which should have meant the installation should have gone more smoothly. Once you have the system set-up the way you want it, it works well, but I personally cannot see any major advantage to using Google Chrome OS over SUSE or indeed Mandriva. So I went back to my Mandriva installation and installed Chromium, this is a Linux version of Googles Chrome browser and works well in Linux, now my preferred browser in Linux. If you are interested in running Linux on your system, Google Chrome OS, initially is small therefore fairly quick to install, but I would still recommend my favourite Mandriva Linux.

Got a new laptop? Get more battery life
If you have recently purchased a new laptop, you can help yourself to more battery life, by removing it. When the machine is plugged in normally, you are constantly charging the battery, this can damage it or use up its life time of charging rate. You should take the battery off the machine when used on mains power and store it safely in a dry cool place. Check the battery once a month and charge fully. This will help keep your batterys life, since you will only be using the battery when you are out and about.

If your machine will not allow you in to Safe Mode, then you will need a bootable CD or the system recovery options for your machine. The you will need to search for a file called mobies.exe and delete it. Then try the steps above again.

Commodore Amiga Mini PC released Core i7
If you are as old as me you will remember the days of the Commodore Amiga and the Atari ST, it brings back fond memories for me. Commodore are releasing a new computer in a small form factor PC chassis, called the Amiga Mini. The system comprises an Intel Core i7 processor running at 3.5ghz, with 16GB of DDR3 memory. Graphics are handled by the rather weak Nvidia GT 430 (1GB). The system also includes Wifi, a 1TB hard disk drive which they can replace with a Solid state drive, if speed is your primary concern. Commodore also include a Blu Ray drive, more space for 2.5 inch drives. The Commodore logo is proudly engraved into the front of the case. Pricing is around the $2,475 mark and that includes a copy of Commodore OS Vision. The company are also releasing the C64x Supreme. The Commodore Amiga Mini will be offered in silver and black cases. You can read more about it over here. Kitguru says, A Core i7 Amiga, who would ever have thought it?
