But today, let’s face it, only the child who has seen the lights of the day for at the most a few months only, finds the fancy, shiny and automatically lighted small object- fascinating. He or she would know in a year that the object is called a mobile phone. The thing on the table with so many buttons on it is called a computer, and it would not be so surprising if it might be the first word they speak. In another year, they would nag their parents for one. And in another year, the parents would necessarily grant their wish.
Our modern day starts with an alarm clock, and may end with a late night Facebook chat, or in that case, may not end at all. The impact of technology and its endless possibilities has filled our daily lives. Yes, even how much I try, I can only fear to imagine my grandmother without her mobile phone, while she is travelling inter-state. The news of her train’s arrival through the internet is absolutely necessary, as I would not like to wait in the dirty station for a train which is hours late.
So, the technology of communication is bettered by more enhanced technology of communication. That is the way of a developing mankind. That is the way of technology. As we develop newer and newer ways for a better living, we use technology to do it for us.
The essence of this assisting technology has been captured in this ebook. I tried to provide you not only with a user-guide manual which can give you blunt instructions, but also the necessary insight to reason the changes that you are doing to your computer- there is the uniqueness of this ebook. The additionally dedicated section for Windows 7 users I hope is going to be helpful as it is the most used operating system on the planet. Along with the guidance, I am also leaving you a list of some handy tools available for free over the Internet in the Appendix section, plus two gems. Have a look…
APPENDIX
A.A few important tools that you can download.
Registry cleaners:
1.Ccleaner: This freeware, from the Piriform’s website, is the best performing registry cleaner and the most popular one too. It provides support to the Windows 7, XP, Vista, 2008, 2003 and even the other older version.
The Piriform provides not only an installable version, but a portable one too. It is the best automated tool for registry cleaning issues. Download from Piriform website only.

Anti-Malwares:
Other than the anti-viruses I mentioned earlier, there are a few more anti malware programs I would like to mention of.
1.BitDefender: Not only a fine anti-virus, but also has a strong firewall protection feature.
2.Trend Micro CWShredder & Trend Micro Titanium: The free licensed version can be the best solution in eliminating Spyware. It has a well-developed Ad-Aware feature too.
3.Lavasoft Ad-Aware Free: With plenty of Privacy protection features, it is one of the most highly downloaded anti-Spyware programs.
4.Mike Belshe NoSpyMail: The free licensed of this program can block bug elements from the Web but you would never need to log off from the HTML you have opened.
Firewalls:
1.Comodo: With an easy user interface and strong protection features, it is one of the best firewalls in the firewall freeware category.
2.Agnitum: Website visitors often recommend the features of this firewall setting.
3.BitDefender: One of the better firewall freeware in the market. The main advantage of having it is the strong anti-virus to go with it.
4.Sunbelt/Kerio: The Personal Firewall setting of the Sunbelt Kerio does work after even its 30 day trial version period is over.
Other than these firewalls, every registered version of an antivirus has a firewall setting of its own. A few good anti-viruses like AVG Free Antivirus have a firewall setting for its free versions as well.
