A few of the many comments we received last week from our Cloudeight Computer Care Customers A comment from Mary From North of the Boarder, I tend to procrastinate and having my computer adjusted had been put off. I followed the clear directions from CloudEight Direct and once they worked on my system it is brand new. Why did I wait so long. They saved me purchasing a new computer. TC was not only thorough and patient, at now time did I feel computer illiterate. They are not satisfied until their customers are! It is nice to know DIrect is a few clicks away and at a bargain! A comment from John Dear Darcy, (I) had a good time watching you fix my computer from being slower than molasses to a Speedy Gonzalez.Keep up the good work. I'll be using you again next time I have a problem. John A comment from Margaret Hello TC in warm Ohio, Thank you for this synopsis of our (Cloudeight Direct Computer Care) sessions today. That is a special addition. I feel very good about those sessions (actually thought we must have finished when I sent the email between sessions =-O ) and much more free to carry on here now. As I mentioned in that between sessions email, I really feel I owe you more for all the time you spent getting this into safe running and please let me know how I can do that. My sincere thanks to you and EB for all you do for those of us with limited pc knowledge and, certainly in my case, lack of interest in the technical stuff. This is simply supposed to work well so I can carry on doing what I like doing! So stick around. I well may need your expertise in the future. :-) Best wishes always, Margaret QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sandra's skepticism saves her $29.95 What do you think about the software mentioned in this article: http://www.howlifeworks.com/Article.aspx?Cat_URL=technology&AG_URL=faster_pc_v2&ag_id=333&wid=EE8E5FA7-DA0E-4F55-898C-7281896A3465 /. They are referring to ARO 2012 fixing registry errors and bringing your. Bring your computer back to like new status. Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Maybe, maybe not. Our answer Hi Sandra. Your skepticism is totally appropriate. Either the article was written by someone with very little knowledge of computers -- or it was written to sell a product in order to generate a commission. In any case, the article is without merit. And CNET continues to show us why you can't trust much of what they say when they review a product or program. Obviously CNET cares more for its bottom line than it does about their Website's visitors. But lets get back to the article you referenced on How Life Works. Apparently this site knows how life works but doesn't have a clue about how computers work. Here's a snippet from the article: "Lose the Lag: How to Make Your PC Run Like New Again One of the most frustrating things in life is a slow computer. Every few years, we buy an expensive new PC and love how fast it starts up, runs programs, and loads websites. Inevitably though, it starts to slow down until eventually we are pulling our hair out waiting for it to do routine tasks. Why is this? It turns out the answer is actually quite simple and you don't even need to be "technical" to understand the causes and solutions. The good news: It's not the computer hardware that's the problem. In most cases, the hardware you have is perfectly capable of being restored to its original glory and kept in fast running condition with minimal effort. Rather, the problem lies with changes that occur to the PC's software. The two most common causes of slowdown (along with easy solutions) are: 1. The most common problem: register (sic) errors Every time you (or your kids) load a program, game, or file, your PC's software register (sic) is updated with new instructions needed to operate that item. However, when the item is removed, these instructions usually remain on your PC. Every time you run your computer it tries to execute these instructions but, because the related program can't be found, it causes a registry error. Your PC is doing a lot more work than it should be and the result is a significantly slower computer. One of the best ways to manage this is with a neat little tool from Support.com, a Silicon Valley based company. It's called ARO 2012 and it scans, identifies, and fixes registry errors--resulting in a computer that's a lot more like it was when you first bought it. On top of the amazing results it offers, it's so easy to install and use that it was recently awarded a coveted 4.5 star rating (out of 5) by CNET's editorial staff and has been downloaded more than 30 million times. " CNET's editorial staff must have been eating hallucinogenic mushrooms on review day -- or the writer's boss ordered him to generate some revenue. ARO 2012 is nothing more than another registry cleaner and optimizer -- which isn't even as close to being the caliber of Registry Commander. Yes indeed, we took the plunge and downloaded ARO and ran it (we created a restore point which turned out to be unnecessary since the "free" version doesn't do anything but give you a exaggerated listing of registry errors (and fixes "100 of them"), cleans junk and garbage files, (like many free system cleaners do) and promises to optimize and protect your PC. ARO2012 would do very little to make your computer "... like it was when you first bought it". No registry cleaner / optimizer is going to do that and anyone who believes that deserves to be out the $29.95 this program costs -- the full version. And to add insult to injury, not only does ARO2012 cost $29.95 -- but they try to smooze you into installing one of the worst (malware) toolbars "Support Toolbar" from the infamous Ask.com people. Ask is owned by IAC which is the Web's largest purveyor of adware, spyware and scumware -- they make FunWebProducts -- SmileyCentral and all that other garbage that eventually causes a computer major problems - not to mention the privacy concerns those programs raise. It's hard to believe that CNET would publish a glowing review of product like this and encourage people to download it without even mentioning that it's also a software bundler. We all know by now that CNET is not above deceiving its users. They only stopped bundling software after a huge outcry caused them a lot of embarrassment last year (2011). CNET which is owned by CBS, really needs to regain their credibility, but their review of ARO2012 only makes them seem unreliable. No registry cleaner/optimizer is going to make your computer work like "it was when you bought it", maybe the author was referring to a four-year-old used computer. Any such wild claims should not be believed, and credible sources wouldn't even suggest them. It wouldn't even be forgivable if ARO2012 was a really good registry cleaner/optimizer, but it's not. It's a run of the mill registry cleaner which makes far-fetched claims which could never substantiated. We've recommended Registry Commander for a long time. Registry Commander makes legitimate claims for what it can do: From Registry Commander's site: "Constant computer use, installing & uninstalling applications, and surfing the web creates corrupt and obsolete registry entries that slow down your PC. In order to keep your PC running smooth these entries must be removed. Registry Commander safely cleans, fixes and optimizes the Windows registry while backing up all changes for future recovery." That's the truth and that's the best any registry cleaner/optimizer can do. It can help speed up your system and it can prevent annoying error messages. With proper use, it can help your computer run better longer. But it's not going to make your computer like it was the day you bought it. Such claims are not true. The only way you can make your computer like it was the day you bought it is use your manufacturer's recovery disk or partition and restore your computer. But one thing is for sure ARO2012 isn't going to do it. No registry cleaner/optimizer is. Mary says her CPU (processor) is running near or at 100% all the time My CPU has been running very high. Getting to 100% is regular. I've started to turn my laptop off at night being concerned that it is going to 'whir' itself out or overheat and burn out. It is only a couple of years old. Is it telling me that it is getting to the end of its usability? Our answer It could be one of several dozen things. It could be a process (program) or service running in the background using a lot of your CPU. It could be malware. It could be a software conflict. It could be a driver issue. It could be any number of things. It's certainly not a sign that it's the end of the line for your computer but it is a sign that something is not right. One free tool that may help you find out which program or service is using so much of your CPU is called Process Explorer. It's a program available from Microsoft Tech Net created by Sys Internals. It's a small zip file -- all you have to do is unzip it and click the EXE file to run it. When you run it you will see a column labeled CPU. You can read more about it and/or download it from here. Look in the column labeled CPU above. The screen shot only shows a few of the many services and process running my machine because I had to minimize the window to fit this newsletter format. But expanded, it shows every process and service running on your computer and the CPU and RAM usage (and even more about each one). Hopefully something will jump out at you and you will be able to kill the process or service and reduce the load on your CPU. Once you've found the culprit you'll have to make sure that it isn't starting with Windows. But to be honest, unless you know what you're looking for and what each process and service is and what it does, and what affect stopping it would have, you'd be better off having someone with experience look at you computer. As we said - it could be any of a number of things or it may even be a combination of things. We can solve these kinds of problems with our Cloudeight Direct Computer Care service -- if you're interested. Or any qualified computer technician should be able to track down the process or service using so much of your processor. It is not an indication that your computer is nearing the end of its service life; but the problem needs to be addressed. When your CPU cycles at 100% you won't be able to run programs normally - your computer will become unresponsive. So it's best to get this fixed as soon a possible so your computer runs normally again and you can enjoy using it again.

COMPUTER TIPS AND TRICKS Why Do-Not-Track Won't Work All Internet users Fifteen years ago, people in the technology field were very concerned about online privacy. They came up with a convoluted and complicated privacy solution called P3P. it failed to win the approval of anyone other than geeks because it was far too complex, complicated, and unwieldy for the average user to learn. P3P went down the proverbial tubes. Fifteen later, they're promising us privacy again with the Do-Not-Track phenomenon. P3P was too complicated and Do Not Track is to simple - and what does it really protect you from anyway? "I think Do Not Track is a very much watered-down P3P," the Carnegie Mellon professor tells RWW. "It's much, much simpler. It's not nearly as powerful. So the question is, was the problem with P3P that it was too complicated, and this very simple thing is what will allow [privacy] to get adopted? I don't know; my crystal ball isn't good enough... If we had P3P, we'd have a way for users to say, 'Okay, if they ask me for this, this, and this then it's okay; for any of these other purposes, it's not okay.' Your browser knows, your browser could deal with it." (See http://allanalyst.com/post/dr-cranor-on-do-not-track-and-the-improbability-of-complete-privacy/ ) Because no one could make P3P tenable to the public, and because for nearly 15 years no one really cared all that much, Do Not Track is now being touted as the savior of our online privacy. But it's not. Maybe some of you have installed Do Not Track software. If you have then you've probably looked at the huge number of things that have been blocked. Those things are called "cookies". And since we've covered cookies at least a dozen times in this newsletter, you know by now that cookies are text files which are "dropped" (downloaded) onto your hard drive when you visit a Web site. While some sites claim they don't drop cookies, they do if they're hosted by a hosting service. Almost all small and medium Web site cannot afford to maintain their own data centers and servers and employ a staff of technicians to maintain the servers. So they opt for hosting services. That's what we do and almost all of the other sites you visit except for the top tier of sites (Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) which maintain their own servers and data centers. Cookies do not contain personal information about you. Cookies do not and cannot infect your computer. Cookies are not the problem. Do Not Track software really doesn't do anything except block cookies. The real danger on the Web (as we've said hundreds of times) isn't cookies - it's you and me and everyone else. Very few us use strong passwords. And more than a few of us use the same password for everything - and that is far, far worse than any cookie that ever found its way onto your computer. Another danger is the trustworthiness of the sites to which you give your personal information. When you give your personal information to Facebook, for example, you're trusting they'll keep it safe. You're trusting they won't sell your information (which is worth a lot of money). You're also trusting that every employee of Facebook who has access to your personal information has been properly vetted. And then there is always the chance that a person who was probably vetted will not maintain his or her honesty against the opportunity to steal information and sell it. That requires a lot of trust. Do Not Track may be worse than useless, it may even be dangerous if it continues to be touted as a way to ensure your online privacy. If users really believe that Do No Track is the solution to online privacy they may be inclined to relax, let their guard down and rely on software to protect them. Do Not Track is not going to lead the way into a golden era of online privacy. The really sad part of Do Not Track is that it's going to make a lot of people millionaires. A whole industry is already salivating over this new emerging market. And what's the best way for Do Not Track marketers to sell their wares? You guessed it - by scaring you into believing that if you don't use Do Not Track software or if you don't turn it on in your new Do Not Track browser (all major browsers will have this feature soon), you'll be in dire jeopardy. But you've seen this tactic before. Firewall vendors have made billions of dollars by scaring users into buying third-party firewalls they didn't need, and never really figured out how to use. You've seen it with the virtually useless Lifelock service, offered by a company that has been sued for millions of dollars by the FTC for making false claims. Lifelock's TV commercials dumb-down Internet safety to such a ludicrous level I'm surprised they aren't being sued again. Let's look at Lifelock which will take your money and tell you they guarantee your identity will never be stolen. Lifelock's CEO Todd Davis has had his identity stolen 13 times. That's a fact. And in most cases his company's Lifelock program didn't catch it and didn't protect him. Maybe displaying your Social Security number on the sides of busses and on billboards wasn't such a hot idea, Todd. "LifeLock CEO Todd Davis, whose number is displayed in the company's ubiquitous advertisements, has by now learned that lesson. He's been a victim of identity theft at least 13 times, according to the Phoenix New Times. That's 12 more times than has previously been known. In June 2007, Threat Level reported that Davis had been the victim of identity theft after someone used his identity to obtain a $500 loan from a check-cashing company. Davis discovered the crime only after the company called his wife's cellphone to recover the unpaid debt. About four months after that story published, Davis' identity was stolen again by someone in Albany, Georgia, who opened an AT&T/Cingular wireless account using his Social Security number (.pdf), according to a police report obtained by the New Times. The perpetrator racked up $2,390 in charges on the account, which remained unpaid. Davis, whose real name according to police reports is Richard Todd Davis, only learned a year later that his identity had been stolen again after AT&T handed off the debt to a collection agency and a note appeared on his credit report. Then last year, Davis discovered seven more fraudulent accounts on his credit report that were opened with his personal information and have outstanding debt, according to the police report..." LifeLock is good example of how fear can be used to sell basically worthless products by playing on the naïveté of people. Lifelock is just an example of this - firewall vendors and Do Not Track software vendors are cashing in on the fear they themselves generate. Do Not Track may well be the worst thing to ever happen to online privacy. Cookies do not contain personal information. Web sites to which you give your personal information do. And you're not only trusting the site you give your personal information to keep it safe, you're trusting the employees of the company who have access to your personal information. There is a huge market for information -- and personal information such as your name, address, cell phone number, type of car you drive, whether you own or rent a home, your income, social security number, is worth a lot of money to marketing and research companies. Only someone without any knowledge of how the Internet works could be made to believe that cookies contain the kinds of personal information that would be worth money. Do Not Track is a ruse that could cause people to lower their guard and believe they're safe when they are not. Those who do not understand how the Internet works are leading us all down a primrose path - with the blessing of the U.S. Government -- which I really believe doesn't have a clue how to implement any system that would ensure our online privacy. You'll be hearing more and more about Do Not Track - it will be the next "thing". But it won't keep you safe online, that's for sure. Only you and your good common sense can do that. If online privacy were really a concern then Facebook and Google + would not have over a billion users combined. People want to share everything but they want to think they can share everything and still maintain a modicum of privacy? Yet these same people who think they're only sharing information with "friends" (some of whom they barely know or may not be who they claim to be) will among those who believe that something as simple as Do Not Track can really keep them safe. That's our opinion -- what's yours? pɹoʍssɐdƃuoɹʇsʎɯ All computer users Yes indeedy folks. If you need strong passwords you might only need to look at the title of the this tip. If you're the kind of person who just can't let go of easy to remember passwords then at least make them uncrackable. If you really like Millie121 as your password, keep it, but turn it into something uncrackable like 121ǝıןןıɯ. If you're like EB and you can't part with your iluvbeamers password, at least make it  sɹǝɯɐǝqʌnןı. If you want a little extra pizzazz how about LОVЄУОЦTООMЇCHAЁL or better yet ƎןןƎHϽIWOO⊥∩OʎƎΛOן . We've been trying to get all of you to realize that your online security and privacy, in large part, depends on you. And nothing is more risky than using simple passwords except using a single simple password for all or many of the sites which require a username and password to login. If you want to keep simple passwords like william548 or sally62150 at least do this:  8ᔭ2ɯɐıןןıʍ or 02159ʎןןɐs. If you want to use your simple passwords at least do yourself a favor and head to http://fsymbols.com/generators/aboqe-flip/ and flip them. That's right. Flip your simple passwords upside down and you'll be creating a much stronger password. It would take a password cracker 4 days to crack Millie121 but about 9 million years to crack 121ǝıןןıɯ. If your password is 12345 - Heaven forbid! - it would take a password cracker less than a second to crack it. But if you flipped it would take 32 minutes - not very long but much longer than 1 second. We used the site http://howsecureismypassword.net/ to get those cracking times. You might want to run your passwords through that site too and find out how long it would take a hacker to crack your passwords using a password cracking tool. If you're looking for a way to create simple passwords that you can remember but that will be far more secure, flip out and flip over to http://fsymbols.com/generators/aboqe-flip/ and flip your passwords right now. Of course the best way of all is to dump your old passwords, install LastPass www.lastpass.com. Use LastPass's password generator generate 11 to 13 character passwords and remember them for you. When you come to a site that requires you to login - LastPass will even fill in the forms for you and log you in. How much easier can it be? Got Gmail? Send it later with this free* add-on All computer users with Gmail accounts and using Firefox or Chrome browsers I you're using Gmail, and you have ever wished you could compose an email and send it later - tomorrow, next week, in a few hours - we've got good news for you. You don't know why you might want to send something later? Say you wanted to send an email to someone wishing them a happy anniversary or happy birthday. And you are thinking about it a couple of weeks before the event. Why now compose it now while you're thinking about it and have Gmail send it on the special day? That way you don't need reminder programs or alarms or worry about forgetting someone's anniversary or birthday. Say you are going to quit your job and you want to tell you boss what you really think. But you'd like to collect your last paycheck first. You can tell your boss off right now while you're still fuming and send it to him in complete safety a month from now. Good idea, right? If you want to add send-it-later capability to Gmail and you use Firefox or Chrome as your browser, you'll want to get the Boomerang extension and you can get it from http://www.boomeranggmail.com/.  Besides giving you the ability to send delayed emails, Boomerang also has more features. You can set it to remind you if no reply has been received to your email within a certain number of days. From the Boomeranggmail site: Send an email later With Boomerang, you can write an email now and schedule it to be sent automatically at the perfect time. Just write the message as you normally would, then click the Send Later button. Use our handy calendar picker or our text box that understands language like "next Monday" to tell Boomerang when to send your message. We'll take it from there. The best follow up reminders Want a cleaner inbox, but don't want to lose track of important messages? Use Boomerang to take messages out of your inbox until you actually need them. Just click the Boomerang button when you have an email open, and choose when you need it again. Boomerang will archive the message. At the time you chose, we'll bring it back to your inbox, marked unread, starred, or even at the top of your message list. Boomerang is free for up to 10 delayed messages per month. It's also available for your smart phone too. Bounce on over to www.boomeranggmail.com and start figuring out all the ways you could use it. THIS WEEK'S FREEWARE PICK Postbox Express Free email program Works with Windows XP, Vista, Seven, Windows 8 (32bit/64bit) and Mac Approx 8.3MB I'm going start off by saying this: If you love using stationery, you won't like Postbox Express.....yet. Postbox Express is the free version of Postbox. It's an email program that seems a combination of the features of Outlook Express, Outlook, and Thunderbird. I've been using it as my primary email program for about a month, after I got tired of dealing with Outlook's annoyances (and there are several) and the bulky commercial feel of it. I've tried about every email program available and I've come to the conclusion that Microsoft shafted us all when they did away with Windows Mail/Outlook Express. While many seem to be able to get along with Windows Live Mail (EB says it's OK - not great but OK), I can't use it. It's so slow it makes me scream (everything else on my computer runs fast). I don't like slow programs or programs that aren't logical. Microsoft tried to make Windows Live Mail look like Outlook Express -- but that's like a funeral director trying to make a corpse look alive (Doesn't he look natural? No! He looks DEAD!). Anyway I've tried Eudora free (it's adware) and FoxMail, Dream Mail, IncrediMail (which is starting to revert back its annoying adware/billboard self), Thunderbird and many others. Postbox Express has done what I've wanted it to do without a lot of fuss and tweaking. One of the nicest features of Postbox is how easily and quickly you can set up your email accounts with it. Setting up any email account - even Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, GMX accounts- is a cinch. All you need to know are your username, email address and password. Postbox will automatically detect and fill in the server settings for you. I set up seven email accounts in less than five minutes with Postbox Express. You'll really love the easy account setup wizard too. Postbox Express Running on Windows 7 64bit Is Postbox another Outlook Express? No it's not. But we may never see another email program like Outlook Express again. Technology has changed everything and more and more people are accessing their email with smart phones, tablets, and other non-Windows platforms. Postbox Express is a good, solid, free email program. It may be a good choice for those of you who don't use stationery and who don't like Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, or IncrediMail. Here's a word from the Postbox Express people: Postbox Express is a new desktop email application that's easy to use, powerful, and completely free. It contains an ultra-fast search engine that helps you find what you need in record time. Like a Web browser, Postbox Express lets you view folders and messages in tabs, enabling you to create more efficient workspaces. And Postbox Express helps you make sense of long email threads by letting you view messages by conversation. You can extend the functionality of Postbox Express through Add-Ons, or install a community-translated language pack, including German, French, Spanish (Spain), English (British), Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Swedish. Switch to Postbox Express, and enjoy the benefits of a continuously developed, first class e-mail client that you can customize any way you like. If you're ready to read more about and/or download Postbox Express (free) please visit this page. We want to point out that Postbox Express is no longer under development - that means no new versions. However, as most of you know, new versions are not always better. We have been testing Postbox Express for over a month. We get thousands of emails as week and respond to thousands of emails a week - Postbox Express 1.1 has performed better than many other email clients under a very heavy load. In short, it works. If you want an email program that is updated with newer version all the time or you need more support than the forum support provided by Postbox Express, the Postbox Express might not be for you. But if you just want an email client with plenty of features and works well, we think you'll like Postbox Express.. Do you have a freeware program you love? Tell us about it! This week's essay This week we're going to feature an essay that TC read and really enjoyed. We hope that you will enjoy it as much. WHY THE GRASS IS NEVER GREENER AND HOW TO BE HAPPY TODAY by Katy Cowan "If you worry about what might be, and wonder what might have been, you will ignore what is." ~Unknown Lifestyle. Opportunities. Wealth. Just think how far we've come in the past 100 years—especially when you look at what we have today compared with our great grandmothers' generation. My great grandmother married very young, lived in the same place her whole life, and had 11 children. She never had a "career" and never got a chance to go on a vacation. Her life was hard, poor, and lacking in any real opportunity. I wonder if she ever dreamed about moving to another city or transforming her life, or about seeing the world with just a backpack. I bet she did, but back then there weren't as many opportunities as we have today. Thanks to technology, the Internet, and an improved society, our lifestyles are completely transformed. We have choices. We can live pretty much anywhere we want. We can travel and see the world. Read the rest of this essay here.
