A tired, old PC really can make your blood boil. But sometimes even new PCs can clog up and run slowly. The Independent came up with 10 great quick fixes anyone can perform.
When you buy a new PC the chances are there are a load of programs pre-installed onto it. Old PCs can simply accumulate these over time. Most of these you'll never use and some of them can often run in the background without you knowing, slowing your computer down in the process.
To remove these click "Start" then go to "Control Panel" then click "Programs and Features" and scroll through the list, uninstalling the ones you never use.
If you're unsure what should stay or go, use PC Decrapifier - a free piece of software that recommends what is worthwhile or not.
2. Delete Temporary Files
Whenever you use internet Explorer all your browsing history remains in the depths of your PC. The same thing happens when you install something. It's like never throwing away the packaging when you buy a new TV and by doing so it'll free-up space on your system. To get rid of all this clutter open "My Computer", select your main drive, click the "Windows" folder then open the folder inside that called "Temp".
Goto: Run and Type Temp and Enter you will see a window. Delete all the things you seeing inside this folder. Otherwise use your mouse to right-click on the folder, and in the "View" options, choose "Details". Once this is done, select all the files that are older than the current date and press the delete key. Then go to the Recycle Bin on your desktop and empty it.
Or Also
If your PC takes an age or long time to turn on and be ready for action your hard drive might be the fault. Typically they have loads of moving components and can take a long time to fire up. A solid state drive uses flash memory (like a massive USB stick) and can read data a lot quicker therefore speeding up your start-up.
4. Get More Hard Drive Storage
No matter if you keep your computer tidy, if your hard drive becomes too full, it will affect the speed of your PC. If you use your system for processor-heavy tasks, such as recording video and media the likelihood will be that your drive will get chokka before you know it. Nowadays you can get mega storage drives over 1TB which is good for thousands of HD movies.
Whenever you switch on your PC some programs will automatically start to run in the background. Things like Skype and Spotify are guilty of this. All the applications running will use your computer's memory so ditch the ones you don't need running.
To do this click Start and type "Run". In the box that appears type "msconfig" and a box will appear, at the top click the "Startup" tab listing all the applications that run when your computer starts up. Either manually untick the ones that are unnecessary or click "disable all", but be sure to keep vital things like antivirus going.
Don't be scared by the description, it's essentially a way to optimise your hard drive's efficiency.
To do this go to "My Computer", right-click on the hard drive and select "Properties". Under the "Tools" tab there should be an option to "Defragment Now".
8. Run a disk clean-up
To perform this click "Start" then go to All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
9. Vacuum out the dust From Motherboard
If you open up your PC and you won't believe how much dust gets sucked into it through the cooling fan. Dust can clog airflow, which is vital to keeping your system temperature down and if it overheats, its performance will slow.
Use a vacuum on a low setting to clean out the insides, but ensure the PC has been off for at least 30-minutes and it's disconnected from the mains. Also, go easy when you're poking around in there as you could dislodge some important cables.
Simple advice, but most effective if you've got a PC that should be cashing-in its pension. With the rise of tablet PCs and the low cost of components, prices of new laptops and desktop computers are so much more affordable than years ago. Save yourself a heap of trouble and think about it.

AFTER A VERY LONG Time blogged up…with this very new post on reverse engineering!!!
Today…we are going to learn how to crack a simple application…i.e an EXE file!!!!
Note: All Experiments are for only Educational Purposes. Dont Try hard.
Most of you might have encountered a scenario where the software you installed asks for the SERIAL key or LICENSE key!!! THIS IS ANNOYING ! :)
So…how to go about this….??????
Well, today most of the softwares are well secured and well-proofed from reverse engineering! But still…some aren’t!
This is a very simple tutorial which will let you a know a basic approach towards cracking a simple exe file…
SO LET US START!
1. This is a simple application which asks us for the license key..
2. We need to install a disassembler software to crack this application.
3. You may use any disassembler you want..
4. I am using IDA PRO Link Below
5. Install it and launch the application….you will see the following window after launching it.
6. Drag and drop your exe file into the panel…
7. Choose “load file as” MS-DOS Executable…click OK and Continue.
8. By default its IDA View-A…Please choose “HEX VIEW-A”
9. Scroll down to find the line saying ” ENTER YOUR LICENSE KEY” (different for different applications,in my case it is this).
10. Some where near that we found “Google” word next to the line saying “ENTER THE LICENSE KEY”..
11. AWESOME THIS IS our LICENSE KEY!!! :P
12. Let us try “Google” as our key!
13. YEAH!!! IT WORKED!!!!
Ain’t that aweosme!!! try building your own application and reverse engineer it to crack it!
THANKS! :)
Warning:
Reverse engineering any software without proper authorization and permissions is illegal. This tutorial is for education purposes only.
Offensive Hacking will not be responsible for any cyber crimes as it doesn’t encourage the same.
