This is a virus detection. Viruses are programs that self-replicate recursively, meaning that infected systems spread the virus to other systems, which then propagate the virus further. While many viruses contain a destructive payload, it’s quite common for viruses to do nothing more than spread from one system to another.

A fresh update is available from Microsoft focusing on the microcode reliability of both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista in scenarios where the operating system is integrated with Intel processors. Microsoft informed that the microcode reliability update for Intel processors does not impact only Windows Vista but also Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. But as far as Vista is concerned, the company has been hammering away at the operating system ever since it hit the shelves. This is yet another example of Microsoft taking care of reliability issues affecting Vista. The update is designed to resolve “a possible Intel processor marginality and a potential source of unpredictable system behavior”, according to Microsoft. (more…)

Windows Vista operates external hard drives that are connected with USB differently than internal drives. Write caching is disabled so that you can safely remove the drive at almost any time. This is a great feature for USB thumb drives that are frequently inserted and removed from your computer. But if you have a large hard drive that is in an external enclosure that you never disconnect from your computer, write caching is also disabled which can decrease performance.

This tweak is going to show you how to increase the performance of your external hard drives by turning write caching back on as well as activating advanced performance. Let’s get started: (more…)
