Buffer youtube videos faster:
Method 1:
Youtube Feather beta
This is a mode in youtube, where you can enter and buffer videos faster.
Now your youtube videos will buffer faster as compared to before. Note :Whenever you close your browser you have to again click on the link to re-enable Feather mode

Once a Trojan has been installed on a targeted computer system, hackers will have remote access to the computer allowing them to perform all kinds of operations.Your PC may have a trojan through which someone can monitor your activities on your PC. So if your antivirus is not helping, then you can manually delete trojan. So today we will learn to find and remove trojan manually.
How to manually delete trojans??
For deleting trojan you need a tool called Process Explorer. You can download the tool from HERE. This tool is similar to Task Manager but it is modified and easy to use.
Download and extract the tool. Now open it. It will look something like this.
Now basically trojan runs in the background and sends information. So we will try to catch it in process explorer.
Now scroll down to explorer.exe. The processes showing above explorer are by default and necessary. Don’t make changes in that . We will only see the part below explorer.exe.
Now the main part i.e. searching for TROJAN.
Now it can have name like HOST, SVHost(remember there is a file named SVhost above explorer.exe. Dont delete it,it is NOT a trojan)
It will not have a company name.

Have you ever accidently deleted your important files or docs or anything. Ya i mean even from your recycle bin. I m pretty sure that it may happen with everyone. So today i will teach you how to recover deleted files.
How it works??
The concept behind this recovery is that, whenever you delete some files, the disk shows corresponding empty space, but the file is still present. Whenever you add more files, the previous files get overwritten. This deletes the files permanently. So recuva just scans for files which are not overwritten. In this way it recovers deleted files.
The concept is clear i think, so lets do it practically. So lets start.
How to recover deleted files???
First you will need a software named Recuva. It is a free tool. Download it from here
Now after downloading install it and launch it from desktop.
When you will launch it, you will see something like below. Simply click next.
Now choose the content which you want to recover. Eg. Image, music,document (You can select other if you want all files to be displayed). Then click next.
Choose the destination where files were initially present before deletion, means the last seen location. If you don’t remember, than you can choose ‘I m not sure’ and click next at last.
Now check the box which says ‘enable deep scan’. Deep scanning will take more time, but it is more reliable then normal one. Now click start.
It will start scanning your hard drive for deleted files. After the scanning completes, it will show you the files that can be recovered with green dot.
Now select the files you want to recover, and click recover. Also mention the location were you want to recover the files.
NOTE: Make sure you don’t select the same location where files were initially present. So better select new location and click ok.
This will start recovery process and you will find all your files within a few minutes. This was the method to easily recover deleted files.
DRAWBACKS
Now recuva is not the only tool to recover files. There are many tools available on the net which are more efficient then recuva.
Some good things about recuva is that, it is available free of cost and it is very simple to use. So if its a lower level matter, recuva would be a good option. Also remember that you recover the things as soon as possible, before they get replaced by other files. Stay tunned for other tips/trick about recovering data.
