This is a question I was asked recently. ‘Why do people create a virus ?’

The problem we have in this world is everyone trying to make a few dollars either legitimately or not. The issue comes from actually very Intelligent individuals or groups that create a sort of virus that will either take control of your browser, redirection to a payment page or hijacking your system to think that you need some type of software to remove the virus at a price.

These viruses can be embedded into anything, from exe files, DLL files, tool-bars, and we have even seen hidden installs via JavaScript on malicious websites. We must as a user keep up to date with these malicious threats, by updating our browser, installing anti virus software, and keeping our computers stable enough to stop these attacks.

The majority of viruses we see is in the form of zip files and on cracked software. Always remember to look at the source, or do a scan of the file before it has installed. If your anti virus scanner has found the threat remove it and clean the system.

Many people have a virus or a corrupt file on their system until they actually know about it.  Normally system crashes can cause a concern or maybe when an Anti Virus program will pick up the problem,  and only then will you know that you have something wrong Internally on your PC.  It is always advised to keep your PC up to date with the latest windows version, and have some sort of Anti Virus scanner enabled with a spyware program installed too.

Their is a high demand for cracked software of which people prefer than actually purchasing a product. There is however the risk that the “crack” produced within the package of the file has hidden malware or viruses installed within the cracked software. Normally your anti virus scanner will pick these up and remove them from your system, but some files still get past the process and are hidden in your machine normally within your Process Libraries.

Malware, Viruses and Trojans, can record keystrokes, which means they can see everything you are typing including passwords, login’s, back data basically anything that you use via webpages on your PC.

The solution is simply to keep your PC up to date, and run regular virus protection scans and search for Viruses and malware. Once complete, your PC should be clean from errors and be running alot smoother and also your internet speed may speed up in the process.

Many websites are being hit by the Google Panda and Google Penguin updates for not following some simple steps. These steps will guide you through the process, but initially it is all up to you. Unique content and Onsite Optimization are the problem for most sites. If you do not do this, then you will get strung.

The following tutorial outlines potential issues that may lead to penalties from the Google Search Engine Updates.

Step 1:

Check your rank. Is your site ranking for the Root URL (i.e. liutilities.com) and website name (i.e. Li Utilities and liutilities)?

a) liutilities.com should show up in the Top 30.

b) Li Utilities should show up in the Top 30.

a) LiUtilities should show up in the Top 30.

Ideally you want to be at the top of the list, but for now make sure you’re in the Top 30. You can also check your keywords using Adwords Keywords Tool.

We have assembled some of the most important events, going back as early as 150 BCE, in technological milestones covering everything from the first mechanical calendar whose origins are still shrouded in mystery, to eco-conscious setups and server farms big enough to challenge the keenest Farmville fanatic.
