Signs of viruses: Are you infected?After you open and run an infected program or attachment on your computer, you might not realize that you've introduced a virus until you notice something isn't quite right.
Here are a few primary indicators that your computer might be infected:• Your computer runs more slowly than normal• Your computer stops responding or locks up often• Your computer crashes and restarts every few minutes• Your computer restarts on its own and then fails to run normally• Applications on your computer don't work correctly• Disks or disk drives are inaccessible• You can't print correctly• You see unusual error messages• You see distorted menus and dialog boxesThese are common signs of infection—but they might also indicate hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a virus. Unless you run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool and install industry-standard, up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, there is no way to be certain if your computer is infected with a virus or not.
5 Steps Help Avoid VirusesNothing can guarantee the security of your computer 100 percent.
You can continue to improve your computer's security and decrease the possibility of infection by using a firewall, keeping your system up-to-date, maintaining a current antivirus software subscription, and following a few best practices.Tip: Because no security method is guaranteed, it's important to back up critical files on a regular basis before you encounter a virus or other problems.Steps to help avoid viruses:1.Use an Internet firewall (Note: Windows XP with SP2 has a firewall already built-in and turned on by default).2.Visit Microsoft Update and turn on Automatic Updates.
Note: If you've installed Office 2003 or Office XP, Automatic Updates will also update your Office programs. If you have an earlier version of Office, use Office Update.3.Subscribe to industry standard antivirus software, such as Windows Live OneCare and keep it current.4.Never open an e-mail attachment from someone you don't know.5.Avoid opening an e-mail attachment from someone you know, unless you know exactly what the attachment is. The sender may be unaware that it contains a virus.
Barcode Yourself?
Barcode Yourself is a complete, interactive experience in the series of barcode art, created using the personalized data of participants. Enter an individual's gender, weight, height, age and location, and the barcode is formed using real-world data.
The individualized barcode can then be printed, mapped, scanned, even depicted on a t-shirt or coffee mug. Uber-geeks can even test out their barcodes on their next grocery run.
It is in scanning a barcode that the project reveals its humor, like a banner that reads: Disclaimer! Human beings are not merely worth somewhere between one cent and 10 dollars.
It is here, within the confines of an American obsession with "worth," in which the fun begins. Instead of shoes, we can try on another person's barcode. Become a male, 33 years old from Luxembourg, with a perfect body. Congratulations, you're a crisp 10-dollar bill. A teenage girl in Monaco: $5.25. To be scanned for $4.79, you have to be a 40-year old female living in Canada.
The data entered into Barcode Yourself takes a topsy-turvy twist to its personalized end numbers, with the exception of the hard-data that correlates with "location," which tallies up in the Gross Domestic Product of each country.
The calculation an individual's BMI based on the height and weight data reveals the health of an individual, thus those considered underweight or overweight are worth less money. In addition, in comment to the dominance of the United States, all barcodes are published in inches and pounds. A female barcode takes the real-world hit of earning 72 cents less than each dollar earned by a man. The average for age takes on the most comic tone, borrowing from the worlds' most famous 33-year old, Jesus.
With the complexity of mocking self-identity, Barcode Yourself lays out a fresh absurdity in the modern world of consumerism. To make your own barcode, please click >HERE<
