Battlefield 3 EA conference footage
The footage looks great and all the perks that they are going to give stats and all for free, unlike Modern Warfare 3 which will be charging for similar things. This new footage makes Modern Warfare look like same old thing, all thanks to the new Frostbite 2 Engine.
Check out the Video, it's looks great. Leave your comments below.

Virus: Fake Windows 7 anti-virus programs
This past weekend I was called 3 different occasions for computers that where infected with viruses. They all had a a virus that resembled windows 7 restore backup. It was just a mimic and fake attempt to get information from client and place all your credit card information. They where a little tricky to remove but it easy once you obtain location of virus.
For one computer, it had all hidden files, many files allocated in different locations. Several sector where damaged, and it infiltrated their registry system. Luckly Windows 7 has this remarkable ability to self erase and copy new files that where corrupted. That allowed all the improper shortcuts and commands to be restored to normal.
I don't blame the computer users that got infected, they just didn't know better due to their knowledge on what programs really look like. This malware program looked like an actual windows program that said a virus was detected in your system and it would scan your computer and tell you that your PC was infected when that program was the actual infection.
I had to kill the unknown programs first and then use malware software to remove them. If you don't have a virus or malware on your computer right now, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, it works great and best of all it is free.
Better to be safe than sorry later, for all you techs, even though you might know about fixing PC's. It is always better to never have to go through that headache and lost of time doing it.
So be ware of pop ups that say that viruses are detected, specially when the program telling you that is not even installed on your system. Use common sense, and stay away from websites that are not safe, and of course stay away from hacked programs or key generators that will infect your PC with a virus.
Any questions welcomed, leave your comments below.

Battlefield 3 Beta coming soon
Battlefield 3 Beta to roll out in October 2011 per EA blog, for the people that purchased Medal of Honor Limited Edition.
Be warned as EA blog states the following: "If you’re on Twitter — and you probably are — you might have noticed some folks out there claiming they just signed up for a Battlefield 3 beta, and offer you a link to click. Do not click these links. They’re gateways to scams, hijacks, spyware and a lot of stuff you don’t want on your computer. If you come across these links, simply click “Block and report”, and hope that Twitter will remove these accounts. "
So don't be fooled to believe those lies. Game is due at the end of the year if all goes well, and beta will be kind of late but it is coming. All we can do for now is wait patiently kicking online butt with BFBC2 and MOH.

PlayStation Network: Next week came and went out the window
Sony has not rolled out update to let players back online and many are getting very inpatient. They have to understand that Sony will not place the service back online until they are confident that the system is ready to go to avoid future attacks.
This can take some time, someone on twitter had a point on comments section to PlayStation's blog that made sense.
Their comment stated that as soon as Sony brings the system back online that it will be hacked again. Yes, it is definitely a possibility, after all hackers strive to break code to accommodate and remove restrictions placed on the full potential of equipment.
We can only wait and see how well Sony implements their new security update. One thing is that if it goes live soon and soon after it goes down again, then PSN multiplayer gamers will start to look someplace else. That is a key feature that many purchase game consoles or games. Single player is not as popular anymore. There is nothing more entertaining than seeing someone loose on the opposite team and know that they are sitting in front of TV/Computer just like you. As a gamer you can imagine what they are thinking. Yes, at the end it's just a game but great competition is always fun.

When is the last time you cleaned your PC?
So you purchased a computer a while ago and have been happy with it but lately is is running slower and noisy. What could be the problem you ask.
It could be the memory, hard drive, processor or even a virus, but many people forget about keeping the computer nice and clean inside. The most common sound that tells you the computer needs a cleaning are the fans inside keeping your components nice an cool to keep the degrees within manufacturer specifications for better performance.
Over time the personal computer being a desktop or laptop will get dirty inside due to every day air conditions. Overwhelming amount of dirt build up can cause your fans to overwork and decrease cooling performance.
For example: imagine yourself with and without a heavy coat in 80 degree temperature. A dirty fan is like you wearing a heavy coat. Not so comfortable is it? plus you loose energy and your performance decreases dramatically.
That is exactly what happens to the fans and components inside your computers. They get layers of dirt build up and eventually it is heavy enough to reduce the speed and performance it needs to maintain the correct temperatures it needs to keep the area nice and cool. Some components don't have fans so they really on being free of any extra layers of any type to maintain cool with the ambient air.
These factors slow down your computers performance because they have to work harder causing the air temperature to increase making components space hotter.
What to do if you find yourself with a dirty PC: CLEAN UP
Warning: make sure you always turn power off to units before working on them and never use liquids to clean dirt, you will cause mud build up.
For desktops: just open case and expose the motherboard, use an air can to blow away dirt at fans and rest of components. If your desktop is really dirty, it is recommended that you blow it down, outside.
Laptops: don't take apart anything, just locate the fan(s) and any open spaces and entrances and use special little hose that comes with air canister to blow into those holes, leave the other spaces open so the dirt blows out in that direction.
If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, CONSULT or have a computer technician take care of it for you. Specially if you see layer and layers of dirt on components, they might need to be detailed.
Any questions welcomed. I will update with photos soon.
