Using Sygate Personal Firewall

Sygate is another company that makes a great personal firewall. Just like Zone Alarm, Sygate Personal Firewall includes a two-way firewall that audits your incoming as well as outgoing traffic. Zone Alarm and Sygate are very similar products. The only real difference is the user interface of the firewall. I personally like the way Sygate Personal Firewall displays the incoming and outgoing connections better than Zone Alarm. The nice list interface of all of the connections that have been granted as well as all of the connections that have been blocked.

The Sygate user's interface is also different and a little easier to use than ZoneAlarm's, yet it offers a lot more power on the main screen. The interface shows detailed graphs and also the icons of the open programs. You can simply right-click the icon and select Block or Allow to set a program to a specific access setting.

The operation of Sygate Personal Firewall is similar to that of Zone Alarm. When a program attempts to access the Internet, it is caught, and the user is prompted to confirm if he or she wants the program to access the Internet or not. It all comes down to personal preference. If you like the cleaner and more accessible interface of Sygate personal firewall, visit Sygate's Web site at http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm and download a free copy.

Changing a users icon on the Welcome screen

Each user that is set up on your computer can associate an image that appears next to his or her name on the Welcome screen. By default, Windows will randomly select an image for you, but this selection can easily be changed. If you do not like the images that Windows has to offer, you can select any other image.

Top 10 Tips To Improve System Speed

Do not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB). 4 .Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM 5 .Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin. 6 .Delete the temporary internet files regularly. 7 .Defragment your hard drive once every two months.
