Microsoft WGA without class action status!
Yesterday, I’ve heard this news from somebody else! They told me that there was a lawsuit that is trying to sue Microsoft for adding “Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA)” anti-piracy patch onto Windows XP users and disguised it as a high priority update in “Windows Update Center”. Nonetheless, if it had been given “class action status,” this could allow anyone who had owned a copy of Windows XP disk, then, they would have been able to join the lawsuit without hiring a lawyer. So, in my own judgment, this anti-piracy patch, it sounds very dodgy. It also acts like a monitoring software and eats all of your computer resources at boot-up! Even worse, it may retrieve sensitive data and send them back to their headquarters for analysis. Therefore, I would recommend everybody to keep an eye on “WGA” connections and block it from accessing your network.

Backup your Outlook Mailbox for the worse occasion!
Introduction: when I was working on my design project, my head was thinking about a mini – tutorial for Ms-Outlook user. But, don’t get me wrong! Microsoft Outlook is a very good mailbox, especially, if you have a private server with your very own email account. It will also come in handy, if you’re working for a large company.
On the other hand, if you’re working in a company with a lot of important emails (which is stored in your inbox), you better think about creating a backup of your mailbox, just incase you lost your important assignment or schedule.
Alright, here is the tutorial for backing up your “Outlook” mailbox.
1.] Start your Outlook Mailbox and click on: “Tools >> Options >> Maintenance Tabs”
2.] In the “Store Folder” dialog box, you need to copy the directory.
All you need to do is highlight the directory and press ‘Crtl+C’ to copy the contents.
3.] Click ‘Cancel’ twice to close the dialog box.
4.] At this stage, you need to click: “Start >> Run >> ‘Crtl+V’ – Paste the contents >> Press Enter.”
5.] Highlight every file and make a backup with a new – empty – folder.
6.] Store the backup folder into an external drive.
7.] You’re done!

Ping like a submarine from MAC OS Leopard
Introduction: In the afternoon, I was reading a book about DDoS attacks. It explains the effect on “Denial – Of – Service – Attack”. However, the main owner who invented this DDoS engine, it’s still a mystery to the world and cyberspace. I could have notice!
Right! Today, we are going to learn something that is hidden from an Apple Mac systems. We called it: “Ping”.
The function of “Ping” will allow you to send multiple signals to a domain / IP addresses and see if they are alive, expired or unknown. This tutorial is pretty straight forward and it’s like Windows. However, we are not using CMD command. What we are using is “Ping”, which is from a Mac Os – Utility Program.
1.] Double-click on your “Hard Drive icon >> Application Folder >> Utility Folder >> Network Utility Program.”
2.] Wait for the dialogue box to open and the “Ping” tab. After that, just enter the hostname / IP addresses and press Enter.
3.] Finally, all you need to do is wait for the results!
4.] Finish.

How to identify unknown devices and backup drivers
Introductions: when I was reading PC Magazine, my head was telling me to stop reading, due to their boring facts and information that are really basic. But, I am glad to close it and burned it to shreds… that is right… I burned it to hell!
Anyway, since I am not updating my articles for a while, I will just write something to keep all of you entertain. So, how about reading this article? Just read the title and you’ll understand…
1.] Unknown Device Identifier: this software was created by Zhangduo company. They created this software to let you identify the ‘yellow question mark’ which is labeled as Unknown Devices in Device Manager.
Secondly, they can also give you a report (detailed summary) for the manufacturer name, OEM name, device type, device model and the true name of the unknown devices. Also, with this utility, you can convert your un-identified devices into identified devices and find appropriate driver on the Internet.

Alternative: if you don’t want to use the software which is given above, then please use this software as your second choice. However, this software is still under maintenance, so I would like you to be cautious and self aware.

2.] Driver Magician: this applications can help you backup your drivers for the worse occasion. It can also backup third party drivers, such as: Apple iPod devices, HP devices and others that are hard to recover. However, from my efforts, some HP printers and scanners hates (doesn’t like) their drivers being backed up. So, you got to be careful…

Notes: if you have the money, I would recommend you to buy their full version. With their registered version, you can Update your ‘device drivers’ through the internet; detecting unknown devices and Back up more items like “My Documents and Registry”.
Alternative: if you don’t like the software which is shown above, you can use this software instead: WinDriver Expert.
Download source: http://zhangduo.com/driverbackup.html
Notes: for beginner, please use “Driver Magicain” as your first choice.
It’s far easier to back – it – up than “WinDriver Expert”.
