Did you ever want to have partitions in your pen drive? You might have but you weren’t able to as Windows doesn’t allow you to do so as it recognizes the pen drive as removable media. But don’t you worry! There’s an app- Lexar USB format which allows you to do so with ease.

Some of us don’t like the taskbar on the screen while we are working. Some feel that it consumes space and hence hide it. Well, whatever maybe the reason if you’re one among such people who don’t want the taskbar then you can hide it but the problem is if you want to change the settings then you need to go to taskbar properties and disable it, now that’s time consuming.

How to Remove Win32 Sality Virus

By ⋅ April 18, 2009 ⋅ 32 comments

Viruses can be a real pain at times. Today I’ll share with you my experience with the Win32 Sality Virus. Win32/Sality is a polymorphic virus that infects Win32 PE executable files. It also contains trojan components. Win32/Sality has been known to be downloaded by variants of the Win32/Bagle family.
This is one of the worst viruses I came across. It all happened when I plugged in my friends pen drive to copy some stuff into my pc. At that moment I had disabled Kaspersky Internet Security which I use due to some app restrictions. Everything was fine until evening. But then my explorer started crashing, task manager got disabled, many installers stopped functioning and started giving me weird errors. The worst part was I wasn’t able to start Kaspersky Internet Security again. I decided to format my C drive, as I formatted it and reinstalled XP I realized that the virus still exists! Now that was really annoying. But somehow I managed to install kaspersky without installing anything else. I scanned the whole hard disk and discovered that all my installation files, program files, and even Vista on other partition was infected. These things really got me on to my nerves. I somehow disinfected some of the viruses but wasn’t able to fully remove them. If your pc is infected by this virus you need to do the following:

Hate waiting for your download link to get ready? Don’t worry there’s a small Firefox addon- Skipscreen which solves your headache.

Using Skipscreen you can start downloading the requested file instantly. So no more wasting time on countdowns, captchas and clicking through ads, SkipScreen automatically clicks through the hoops to get to the content you want.

Some of you out there may not like iTunes as it doesn’t allow you to sync your iPhone or iPod on another pc, if you do so then you’ll end up deleting all the contents in it. There may be several other reasons for hating iTunes. Well, if you’re a person like me who hates syncing his iPhone with iTunes then you have come to the right place. Previously I had written an article on iPhone PC Suite which allows you to sync photos, apps, etc but unfortunately the 2.2.1 firmware isn’t supported by it and hence you can’t sync music but you can certainly do rest of the stuff. As I had mentioned earlier that I would show you a way to sync your music with iPhone or iPod using Winamp, here’s how you get it done:

Sorry for Downtime

By ⋅ April 10, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

As you might have observed, BizzNtech was experiencing serious server problems for the past few days. The hosting company- asmallorange suspended the site saying that it was resource hogging. The fact is that their servers weren’t stable for the past three months. There were several downtimes and whenever I asked them the reason they would say it’s a minor issue and they are fixing it. Well, I have nothing against their support as it’s one of the best but their servers truly suck! Most of the shared hosting face similar problems and they simply suspend sites. This is the third server I’m moving from. And as far as the site’s resource usage is concerned then lemme tell you it doesn’t really consume much as BizzNtech used to receive really huge Diggs and Stumbles and at that time there wasn’t any resource usage issue.
