We all know that the games and softwares are increasing in a very fast rate.But I have seen my friends (me too) struggling to make some free space....
Don't worry, we'll teach how to free disk space and increase the speed without deleting.

1st Method

Open My Computer
Right click on the drive to which you want to free space and select properties
Select "Compress drive to save disk space" from below the pie graph that shows the free space etc.
Click apply
Now you can see a dialogue box appearing.Clcik to all subfolders
It will take some time to compress all the data..So please be patient.

2nd Method

Open My Computer
Select start-programs-accessories-System Tools-Disk Cleanup
Select the drive and click ok
Windows checks the drive..Please wait.
A dialogue box appears.On the top you can see more options.Select it.
Then from under system restore,select cleanup
It is seen that windows creates a restore point.The size may vary from 500 mb to 2 gb
After the clean up click ok

3rd Method

We think this is the most commonly known method
GotoStart- All Programs-Accessories-System tools-Disk defreagmenter
Select the drive you wish and select the defragment button
You may press the analyze button for you to see which all files are fragmented.But after the analysis, if you press defragment, the drive will again be analysed.

NaViRa's advice to newbies

What we would like to advice is this:

Try your best not to make image files of any disk
Also store your downloaded games in a cd ( dont give this disk to your friends since they will take the game to their home and may never return )

We are just the students of carmel higher secondary school chalakudy, thrissur. We are studying in 9th standard. Our photos will be soon updated. We solve your pc problems and you may also ask doubts via the comments.

Our first article will be on the most known antivirus softwares available since day to day the viruses are increasing. We have been testing for the best antivirus utility and found it. Our review goes like this:

1. Bitdefender antivirus 2009

Overall, BitDefender is an excellent antivirus program. Like our former Editor's Choice, Kaspersky, BitDefender offers hourly updates and a great bang for your buck.

We recently re-evaluated our ranking of BitDefender and Kaspersky and decided because of its lower sticker price, BitDefender (with all its great features) was a better value, so it was clearly worthy of being our new Editor's Choice.

BitDefender Antivirus 2009 installs easily, uses minimal PC resources, has an intuitive interface, and protects your computer against all malware tested with a 96% accuracy rate.

And if that wasn't enough, it's inexpensive, too! At just $24.95 (and less with our coupon!), it's so inexpensive this software really makes a lot of sense to own.

BitDefender has been a strong competitor in the antivirus field for some time, but they've really stepped up their game in this version

*System Requirements

Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (32/64 bit) or higher

800 MHz or higher processor
256 MB of RAM Memory (512 MB recommended)
300 MB available hard disk space

Windows Vista (32/64 bit) and Windows Vista SP1

800 MHz or higher processor
512 MB of RAM Memory (1 GB recommended)
300 MB available hard disk space

Windows Home Server

800 MHz or higher processor
512 MB of RAM Memory (1 GB recommended)
300 MB available hard disk space

Internet Explorer 6.0 (or higher)
.NET Framework 1.1 (also available in the installer kit)

2. Kaspersky Antivirus

The name Kaspersky may not be widely recognized to most consumers when it comes to software, but they've certainly become champions in the antivirus arena.

Founded in 1997, the company has mainly been involved in antivirus solutions for home and business users. Their antivirus scan engine can be found in over 50 software security products from different manufacturers, so they've been well-regarded for a long time when it comes to virus protection.

It's more expensive than some other antivirus software, but it's worth it. Overall this product is our top choice this year because of its solid features, scanning speed, and ease of use.

3. Norton 2008

The good thing about Norton AntiVirus 2008 is that its still a solid tool for removing and preventing viruses, spyware, and other malware from infecting your computer.

Norton has been a leader for many years and rightfully so. Symantec, the makers of Norton Antivirus, has and still is one of the best antivirus software programs out there.

So why is it only number three on our list this year? They've fallen short in the usability of their product. It's big, clumsy, and heavy on resources. So, considering the small price gap between it and Kaspersky, Kaspersky takes first place, Norton takes third place.

4. McAfee Total Protection 2008

McAfee once was a top dog in the antivirus arena, and still is to some degree. While McAfee VirusScan Plus does exactly what it says it does, compared to the competition, it falls short in other categories.

For one thing, it doesn't offer hourly antivirus updates like our top picks do: it only updates daily. With the speed that viruses and worms sometimes spread, a day is just too long to wait for your antivirus software to update in our eyes.

Another minus is the fact that McAfee is big on selling you upgrades with the VirusScan Plus package. I would say totaly-1 against this antivirus since :

It slows down the computer
Detection is only 55.85%
The scanner tooks ages to complete
The booting of your computer is slowed gradually

I wrote totaly -1 because eventhough it slows, it detects one or two

5.Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2008

Trend Micro may not be a household name, but they hold their own when it comes to lean and mean antivirus protection.

The program runs light on resources, has a sleek user interface, and decent virus blocking capabilities, and good antispyware.

So why is Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2008 lower on our list? There haven't been enough independent tests done on their actual antivirus capabilities, especially against its top competitors.

Could this mean they're trying to hide something? Hard to say either way--we'd just like to see more analysis of their antivirus software by third parties.

6. Panda Antivirus 2008

Antivirus
Antispyware
Antiphishing
Antirootkit
*System Requirements
Panda comes the last because even after update, it does nothing.It doesn't find any virus and our update will be gone.What i would like to say is Please Dont Download Or Buy This Antivirus.

NaViRa's advice to newbies

What we would like to say is to install :

DownloadBitdefender Antivirus 2009(please note antivirus since Total Protection slows your computer.Also remember not download with the keygen because if you try to update BitDefender, the key will be blacklisted)

After the download install bitdefender.Remember to disconnect from the internet
After the installation, Open the patch.rar and inside the folder patch, you will find the patch
Just double-click(no need for copying it in the installation directory)
Choose your product(here Bitdefender Antivirus 2009)
Click ok
Reboot The computer
After the reboot, you will find that your bitdefender is valid upto 14369 days.If you activated it using the keygen, the maximum days you will be getting is 1054.
After the installation, download Spybot Search and Destroy which is a free antispyware utility

For those having best hardware may use the Total Protection.Please note that the patch works for Total Protection,Antivirus and Internet Security of 2009.
