  1. Hi Sky, refer to this innosia post...thats why I wrote that post. I am just giving information about AVG, because I am one of the most experienced users of AVG.
  2. Hi tollywood. Welcome to Xisto. So you are a telugu guy. Nenu kuda(me too in telugu)
  3. ...Funny description. Yes most antiviruses are annoying. They should use less RAM and silent. I agree with you. But a small problem is here. I too like them work silently. But what about the False Positives? By asking what to do, they are giving you the control of your computer. So you can choose which to delete and not. If they keep deleting everything they found, you may lose most of your important files, and system may be unstable(because, what if it deletes some important system files, without your knowledge). I am not disagreeing with you. I am just telling that it is for your safety only. But I agree with you 100% on RAM usage. Almost all antiviruses except a few are resource hogs. In my opinion AVIRA is the best and next one is AVG. (I don't know much about paid antiviruses)
  4. Wrong place for your discussion. Please post your discussions at the right place.
  5. No 10MB database limit here. As per our cPanel we can use almost all available free disk space we have, for our MySql database. About the CPU limit, I didn't find any daily restrictions here till now. But you must use moderately. (Or may be I don't know it clearly)
  6. No, Most regular PC users doesn't know about viruses. Its my experience. Most of the people I know and my friends doesn't know anything about viruses. I had to assist them everytime they were infected. This is because, Viruses are just not spreading from internet. Now a days these are spreading from USB Pen drives, Memory cards, mobiles and CD's or DVD's. Most of them don't have access to internet. So they don't have any up-to-date antiviruses. And they don't know about viruses either. Only some people technical like us can see viruses because we know how a virus looks like(or a trojan) for example with fake extensions etc...Most people don't know this. For example, almost all my friend circle infected by a virus with fake extension with .avi. But actually its an executable. They didn't know this, and clicked to open video and their systems infected. It was infected through memory cards of their mobile. They had antiviruses, but not up-to-date. The virus is very powerful that, even though I cleaned it with up-to-date antvirus, their traces were still left with meaning less symbols in right click. Tried different antiviruses but none of them worked. Even after formatting and reinstalling Windows, their traces left again in other partitions. Finally we had to format the entire hard disk.....Thats why I want to educate people on how a virus looks like etc... I think telling people who don't have technical skill, about these trojans, dialers etc.. will confuse them. And finally you got my idea. What I wanted is that you said above. We have to tell them how to fight against viruses.And thanks for your interest.
  7. Welcome to Xisto. The best free hosting service.Answers for your questions,1. The version of the wordpress in our Fantastico is 2.5.12. MySql database size depends on your free space. And the number of MySql databases are 99(as per cPanel)3. Usually every shared hosting has CPU limitations. Even if you are using Paid hosting you'll have CPU restrictions becausemany others are sharing same CPU with you. If you use most of the resources, others will be definitely affected. So restrictions must be there. But I don't know how much the limit here.
  8. AVG light? I don't think so. It is resource hog. I had been using AVG for 4 years and changed to AVIRA recently. Avira is lighter than AVG. And of course free. But one annoying thing is there with Avira. When you update, it will display an annoying browser window of their ad. And another one is you need to sit before your computer if you want to perform a full system scan. Because, if Avira find a virus when you are scan your system, it stops scanning and prompt for action. Of course, you can change settings it in settings, but its settings are not that much user friendly. By the way, its Real time monitoring is very good. So no need to perform full system scan frequently. Really I prefer AVG concerning user friendly ness, and its speed of scanning. But its latest version made my system sluggish. So I switched to Avira which is using low resources of my system and doing nice job in detecting viruses.
  9. I too think Joomla is the best. I tried Joomla, Drupal, Mambo and XOOPS. I like Joomla among those. Joomla is very easy and flexible CMS. It can be tweaked to your needs easily. You can find tons of templates for Joomla. And many useful extensions are also available. They can make your development process very easy and fast. Even a beginner can easily install and manage joomla and its templates. I vote for Joomla.
  10. Here are some very very useful extensions for your firefox browser...They can make your online experience easy... 1. Session Manager Continue your browsing session even after a system crash, or just next startup....It restores your last viewed tabs or windows. Inbuilt in Opera....Hope FireFox will also make it inbuilt. 2. Adblock Plus Really very useful extension. Blocking almost all annoying ads...I am very happy with this extension. With this extension, you can surf internet without ads. And automatic updater extension Adblock Filterset is also available. It periodically updates new advertisements and blocks them. Must have extension. 3. WebMail Notifier Yes...its working.....You check your gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and some other mails without logging in. It will automatically checks time to time for new mails, and notify them to you. And it can check multiple accounts of the same mail provider....For example you can check multiple gmail accounts at the same time. 4. Speed Dial If you use Opera you know this extension and how useful it is. You can access your favourite websites with a single click. It will show you nine thumbnails of your favourite websites for every new page you open. You can even see the preview image of the website. Just click on it, and the website will be opened. 5. FireFTP Now you can access FTP from the browser itself. Very handy and useful. Run this extension and access your files through FTP without an external client. Try these extensions and you'll never leave them. I will add some more later, if I found any useful extensions
  11. Yes. The Maximum file size for FAT32 is 4GB(It is a single file size, not the partition size. Max partition size is 32GB). But I don't think you'll never need a file that is larger than 4GB. But of course, if you don't like these limits, you can go for NTFS. By The Way, I don't know anything about Mac.
  12. Opera...Always Opera...The worlds fastest browser. I love Opera, due to its speed and functionality. And its built in features like Speed Dial, mouse gestures, inbuilt torrent client, ftp client, mail client and many more features. My most favourite among these features are speed dial, session manager and mouse gestures. I can open my favourite websites with just a single click. And coming to mouse gestures they are very handy. You can do many things with just a single click of your mouse...For example if you want a new tab, just hold the right mouse button and draw a vertical line and a new tab will be opened...very easy.And its inbuilt torrent client is working very well now.Now I am downloading all my torrents from my browser itself. And a latest feature Content Blocking allowing us to block any image or ads with a single click. Opera is just an amazing browser. Most of these features are available as extensions in firefox. But they are inbuilt in Opera.And my second favourite browser is FireFox....Nice features and security. Got some nice extensions. I mostly usefirefox for my development purposes. Extensions like HTTP Live headers, and Leet Key are very useful for development purposes.
  13. I am somewhat happy with my ISP (BSNL, India's largest telephone network). They told me that, with my broadband plan I will get 256kbps upto 2mbps. Most of the times I am getting that speed. And some times I am reaching 3mbps also. Very nice and happy with my ISP.
  14. I am also spending more than 12hours daily. I did my B.Tech and just like innosia I am also searching for jobs. I use practice all my programming skills and learning new courses. My parents are also scolding me that I am spending allmy time on my computer. Pchhh... They don't know computer is my life....
  15. Nice ideas friend. Already I'm using chain mail. I like your workshop idea. No. I don't want to stop viruses. Its impossible, I know. I just want to educate people about viruses. Its difficult to differentiate very good antivirus and bad antivirus. Everyone has its advantages and disadvantages. And most of the antiviruses are paid. Very few are free(with free daily updates). We have to choose from these free antiviruses. But they are not giving optimal protection. Me too. There is no course available to teach about these viruses. Everybody is learning on their own. My humble request is, share your experiences and your tips on how to find viruses etc...And of course, we are not here to teach everyone. Just for those who are interested. I just want to make people aware of these viruses.
  16. Pretty yes...I never thought of this. But I didn't understand the point of hosted credits and non-hosted credits.Whether he may be hosted or not he got those credits just by posting in our forum, and not by any other means, right? So he contributed to our forum. Then, I think, they are as valuable as hosted credits. There is nothing wrong in his worry about his credits.
  17. Thats why you need to read Xisto Read me and other posts before posting buddy. Your credits will be reset when you applied for hosting. So its not a problem. Its common. You may apply for hostingas soon as you reach 30 credits if you don't want to lose more credits.
  18. I am using Transcend 4GB pendrive. It is working fine for. No problems till now.
  19. No need to change to NTFS. You can work with FAT32. There are no big advantages if you move from FAT32 to NTFS.They both works as same. One advantage of NTFS is it doesn't have Partition size limitation, where as in FAT32 you can have only 32GB partition. NTFS is somewhat secure. If you want to compress your disk or allow disk quota you have to go to NTFS. But as a home user, they are meaningless to you.
  20. Yes I am using XHTML. Don't worry about it. Simply think XHTML is latest version on HTML. XHTML is based on XML(EXtensible Markup Language). XML allows web developers to specify what things are (for example if you want to create an employee, it concentrates on his structure name, branch, salary etc...) rather than how to present them( what is its color, font etc..). XHTML is mixture of these two technologies XML and HTML. Don't worry if you can't understand this. Simply XHTML concentrates on structure of the page, rather than its presentation. XHTML and HTML are almost same, but XHTML is some what strict. Just use these tips to convert HTML page into XHTML XHTML rules 1. All element names must be written in lower case. 2. All tags are paired or have a /> ending tag.(That is why <br /> because in HTML <br> is an empty tag). 3. All attribute values must be surrounded by double quotes. (e.g, color=red is incorrect. color="red" is correct) 4. All attribute values must be presented as name=value pairs. 5. DOCTYPE statement must be used. Some advantages of XHTML over HTML are, 1. It makes your source code is clean. So easier to maintain. 2. A well structured XHTML page can be easily displayed on mobiles and handheld divices. So it is future ready. 3. No browser incompatible issues. No worry. and many more advantages are there. They are somewhat more technical.
  21. I hate viruses (just like everyone does). They are getting worse these days.They are disabling system administrative features, Deleting files etc..They are common these days, if we don't have an upto date antivirus. But the sad news is no antivirus is perfect in detecting viruses. I hate some antiviruses more than I hate viruses. I do believe in AVG but not that much. Actually I used AVG for 4 years. And I updated it daily. I like it, even though it was failed to detect some viruses. Yes. My system was infected with viruses many times, even I was updating daily. But I thought it was only the best free antivirus available. But I didn't like its 8th version. It consumed all my pc's resources. My system became very sluggish. I reinstalled Windows and AVG. But no use. Then I changed to Avira Antivirus. I am happy with it now. Of course it has some drawbacks like very very slow system scanning etc..but OK. AVG is better in these.
  22. Hmmm...Viruses are spreading at lightening speed. No technology in computer industry is developing at that pace.Even the security technologies itself. Hard to believe..but its a fact. Really a miracle... And none of the antivirus softwares are perfect.....If one could detect a virus, another couldn't, and vice-versa. And different companies givesdifferent names to the same virus. What the hell is this? Antivirus companies are now focusing more on making profits than eliminating viruses. Even they may be happy withthe spreading of thees viruses, without whom they don't exist People like us, who have some computer knowledge are staying away from some viruses(at least). But what about other people? They don't know what happened to their system, if some virus attacked. They don't know how to get rid of that. And finally they have to spend some money to solve their problem. They are paying for someone else's evil happiness. Why should they?But the term virus is very popular today. Even people who don't know anything about virus, thinking that their system hadinfected by virus.The funny thing is, even if some hardware problem arises in their system, they think that its due to some virus. How sad?Can we do something? How do we educate these innocent people? Give your opinions......
  23. Nice list. But most of them are slow in download speed, compared to rapidshare or megaupload, atleast in our country.They are OK to host small files...But the nice thing, is they are paying us. But personally if I want to download files, I prefer rapidshare and megaupload.
  24. My all time favourite sport is cricket. We all love cricket in our country. Whatever the season may be,whether it is Summer, or Winter doesn't matter. We play cricket. Easy to play and we can play whereverwe like. Yes playing cricket in streets is very popular in India. Just a bat and a ball are enough and unlimitedfun.
