Defragment Your Hard Drive

One of the computer care tips that I bring today is defragging your hard drive. How to degragment the hard drive? You could see the defragment fuction in the accessories part, and go to system tools and you will see Disk Defragmenter. You must defragmenting your hard drive one by one. Some of friends did ask me why should we defgragment our hard drive? Since most of them are not a computer literate people, so just think what the best words to use in order to make them understand very well on my explanations.

Just imagine you do have a large home library of books arranged in volumes. Also imagine that you will re-shelves the books in a way which moves the individual books in the volumes further apart from each other. If you do buy the new books that's mean books are added to library, the further apart and more mixed up the books in the volumes become. Now imagine that you come to the library and want to check out an entire volume of books. You would have to search all over the library to find each individual book in the volume that you want. Well, it sort of all your cooking books, drawing books are mixed up with your kid's comic and their drawing color books. In computer terms, what is happening when the individual books are re-shelved in this way is called fragmenting, and this is what happens to your computer as you install programs, download files, or just use your computer in general.

When running programs that contains hundreds of files, fragmenting can degrade the performance of your computer. As the clusters of files on your hard drive become fragmented, they grow further apart and it takes longer for your computer to find and assemble all the pieces necessary to run the programs. This is where defragmenting comes in. It rearranges the files on your hard drive so they are back in order, which cuts down on access latency (the time it takes to access your files). It just like you do the re- shelve the books in your home library and make them into one specific topic to make it more easy to find. This could greatly reduce the time it takes to find whole volumes or individual books in those volumes.

I think you do understand very well right why should we defragment our hard drive?? :) But I do have one more tip when you are doing the degfragment processes.

Close all programs when you are defragmenting the hard drive. Why?? As a good analogy for this case is, when you are re-shelving the books, the kids come and take the books. Thus, you can't arrange the books on the right shelve and your kids will put the books in any shelve that they wish to!

I hope this article is good for very body and help you guys out there!!

What is Computer Virus

Hi all, since I'm doing this blog for all kind of audiences, (newbie, school kids, armature or even the pro) so I think nothing wrong to make a posting on "what is computer virus?" Although this issue is not a hard issue on us but for some very newbie it's pretty important for their computer care. So I hope the armature and the pro won't be blown up by this posting. ha ha ha.

This is the precise description and hope it will help the real newbie out there.

A Computer Virus is a computer program which distributes copies of itself, even without permission or knowledge of the user. A computer virus is often simply called a virus if it is clear from the context that it does not refer to a biological virus. The term is commonly used to refer to a range of malware, but a true virus does not need to be harmful. To distribute itself, a virus needs to be executed or interpreted. Viruses often hide themselves inside other programs to be executed.

The term comes from the term virus in biology. A computer virus reproduces by making, possibly evolved, copies of itself in the computer's memory, storage, or over a network. This is similar to the way a biological virus works.

Computer virus could spread in such rapid from file to file or even partition. one of the example is Brontok.
