| US Shuts down Scare-ware sellers |
Posted by admin on Saturday, December 13 @ 22:50:28 GMT (25 reads)  According to this BBC Article, the US is moving to shut down the suppliers of so called "Scare-Ware" software. Scareware software is software that scans your pc for viruses, porn and more and always comes back with the kind of results that would scare anyone into buying their software to remedy the solution, at about $40 - $60 a pop. At the PC Centre Nantwich we were over-run with PC's during the summer that were infected with scareware, the most popular was Vundo virus (XP Anti-virus 2009).
If you have noticed software running that you havent installed then you could be infected by scareware or a virus.

The code requires net firms to:
• Give new customers an accurate estimate of the maximum speed their line can support.
• Explain how technical issues could slow speeds and give advice about how to combat these problems.
• Downgrade a customer's deal, at no penalty, if line speeds are a lot lower than the original estimate.
If your changing ISP's check to see if they are signed up to the new agreement.
This should stop people signing up to the "up to 8Mb" schemes but receive lower

| Nvidia Launches Physx drivers |
Posted by admin on Sunday, September 28 @ 22:46:02 BST (145 reads)  Nvidia have now released its physx drivers that allow 8 series G92 core graphics cards to use its core GPU as a physx processor. By utilising the superfast cores on the Nvidia cards your pc is able to play games that incorporate millions of moving and movable particles without impeding on the performance of the PC. If your PC trys to manage these millions of particles, moving objects and interactive materials without the aid of a Physx card or physx drivers then you will be lucky to reach anything more than 20FPS (on a Q6600, 8800GTS), however with the help of the Physx card you may get 60+. On the Nvidia website there is also a free game called Warmonger which utilises the physx drivers to a great extent, its great fun to shoot up planks of wood and watch them splinter into realistic pieces and in a realistic manner or shoot a flapping flag and watch it rip and tare and flap in 2 parts. If this is the future of gaming I cant wait for the new titles to be released, but it not only uses the GPU for physx it can also be used for video encoding using the bada-boom application (demo available from the website). I personally think ATI have seriously got their work cut out to achieve the same on their cards. Get the latest drivers from here

The number of malicious programs are now at an epidemic level according to experts. The number of variants / strains of malicious programs has rised 5x the level of 2006 in 2007. The organisation AV Test has reported almost 5.5million strains in 2007, this is up from 972,606 in 2006. Anti-virus companies rely on customers sending samples of viruses to them for investigation, however with spyware and malware the customers usually do not know that they are infected. At the PC Centre Nantwich we recommend Bitdefender Anti-virus, it not has the usual Anti-virus and firewall modules but also anti-spyware and anti-phishing as well, click here to find out more. If you are infected we offer a removal service starting from just £15inc VAT, call us today to book in your machine,

Do Small Businesses need a web site? According to a BBC News article (here) there are mixed views on whether a web site is essential to small businesses. I personally think that a web site is essential to the majority of businesses small and big, even if the web page just has your contact details. Internet search engines are being used more and more to find local businesses and is taking business searches away from phone books, therefore if your not on the net theres a good chance that you wont be discovered. Let us help with setting you up a web page and search engines

Internet Bosses are being quizzed, over the current internet speeds that customers are getting. In September computeractive ran a survey on readers bandwidth, out of 3000 readers who took part in the survey 62% got less than half their advertised speed. Ofcom have said that they are “aware” of the situation and are looking into it.
AMD are planning on releasing TRIPLE core CPU’s soon, while Intel are storming ahead with the Core2Duo and the Quad core, AMD are sneaking up with a triple core CPU. If rummers are true then the ‘Triple’ core is actually a faulty Quad core, but dont let that put you off as it might be a good marketing and financial idea. Out of every wafer of silicon they use for CPU’s there is wastage when 1 of the 4 cores is faulty, but with AMD’s new core they can easily turn off the faulty core or even 2 or 3 of them to make them into triple, dual or even single core CPU’s. This should hopefully greatly reduce the amount of wasted silicon and keep stock levels up and pricing down. If the market starts to run dry of dual, triple or quad cores AMD will easily be able to turn cores on and off during production to fill the market. We’ll have to wait to see what their performance is like and if the disabled cores can be turned back on by users... time will tell
Nvidia are possibly resurrecting the three and four way SLI in the new Nforce 780i chipset. While this sounds like a good idea to have 2 or 4 cards working as 1 the amount of power needed and the heat produced will be huge, that is if they manage to get the drivers working correctly under Vista. With the Price of 8800’s is dropping having a killer rig wont cost the earth (in money anyway).

AMD Shows off its 3Ghz Quad core ... <Drool>...Yes AMD have apparently shown off their quad core CPU code named Phenom x4, and this was also running on air and not water cooled. It’ll be interesting reading the results of benchmarks of this chip, when compared to the Core2Duo that Intel have been owning the market with.
OCZ Announces 1.8Ghz DDR3 RAM ! - OCZ has announced its fasted memory to date, it runs at 900Mhz (1.8Ghz effectively ). The Ram is the fastest to date, but the timings are quite high, CL 8-8-8, they also assure that every stick is hand tested....
AMD is loosing out to Intel - AMD announced a net loss of $600 million US during the second quarter of this year. Comparatively, the CPU maker’s main competitor, Intel, posted a net profit of $1.28 billion yesterday.
In the full report, AMD reported its full second quarter 2007 revenue as $1.378 billion, its operating loss as $457 million and its net loss as $600 million, or $1.09 per share.
AMD’s chief financial officer, Robert J. Rivet said that ‘we must improve our financial results,’ but he also said that the results were an improvement over those in the first quarter of this year. He said that the company planned to ‘continue to focus on realigning our business model and reducing our capital expenditures and cost structure in the second half of the year. (taken from CustomPC)
