Operating System Support

Most people don't consciously think about their operating systems, but when you need some support in using your operating system, it comes to the forefront of your mind. Most operating systems are designed to be used without support, but sometimes users will have questions that they need answered.

Luckily, most operating systems have built-in support tools. For example, Microsoft Windows has various help menus that allow you to search help topics by keywords. If you are having trouble with your memory and need to know how to delete items to free up some space, just bring up the help menu and type in "increase memory". This will bring up various help topics that can assist you with your needs.

Top Five Worst Viruses and How to Protect Your Computer against Them

Trying to pick out the worst five computer viruses is much like giving a person a choice of execution methods: firing squad, hanging, electrocution, gas chamber,all are hideous. But let's talk about a few of the most well known offenders.

The Sasser and Netsky works were created by an 18 year old named Sven Jaschan, a native of Waffensen, Germany. Jaschan was a member of what was called the Skynet Gang, a group of hackers who enjoyed writing these works, which authorities say delivered a crushing blow to corporate networks and internet users around the world. Police said that the Skynet Gang delivered the most significant virus attacks in 2004. Other worms that have caused great harm are the FunLove and SirCam worms, which arrive in a person's email box and can send themselves to different users in a computer's address book. Another notorious worm was CodeRed, which jumped from one computer to another.

Definition of Operating System

While an operating system is a central part of your computer system, knowing the definition of an operating system is not integral to knowing how to use one. However, when you do know the definition of an operating system, you can better understand what it is doing inside your computer to make it run and to make using it easier for you.

In its basic form, the definition of an operating system is as follows: a set of computer programs that manage the hardware and software resources of a computer system. We can add to that definition to say that an operating system rationally processes electronic devices in response to approved commands.

Do People Know Where Your Are on the Web?

The question is, "can you be tracked down on the internet?"

Your IP address is no secret. It's a basic part of internet communication protocols to send your IP address whenever you connect to another site, request a web page, chat, play an online game, etc. Without your IP address, the computer on the other end wouldn't know where to send the reply.

But that doesn't mean that Evildoers can find your house if they know your IP address. Each time you go online (if you have dialup) or each time you start your computer (Cable or DSL) you are assigned an IP address, randomly selected from a pool of IP's assigned to your Internet service provider (ISP).
