Windows XP vs Windows 7 – Who Won?

I installed Windows 7 on my ASUS Atom N270

Before I did that, I recorded how long it took to do a few things:

-Copying a 45 MB file over the network
-Boot Time
-Shutdown Time
-Memory used at idle, after startup
-IE Launch time

Then, after I installed Windows 7, I did the same, and recorded how long it took. I was curious to see if Windows 7 was faster or slower than XP.

Keep in mind this is not scientific, but just a simple test I did on my own computer.

Here is what I found:

Boot time under Windows 7 was 22 seconds faster:

Shutdown time under Windows 7 was 20% faster:

What about the time it takes for Internet Explorer to Launch?

Windows 7 was faster there too:

Amazingly the memory usage at idle was less in Windows 7, than in Windows XP. I should do this article again with Vista. I am sure that number in Vista is over 1GB

Another test I did was copying a 45 MB file over my wireless network.

Look at the difference:

This was an amazing result. I had to try it a few times to make sure it was not a mistake. It took Windows XP almost a minute longer to transfer that same file.

Amazing. Windows 7 is faster on all of my tests.  Not only has it won this little test, but instead of wanting to remove it after 2 weeks (Like with Vista)…I want to install it on all of my computers!

Remove IE-Security - IE-Security Removal Information

IE-Security is another representative of fake antispyware software applications. After checking registry entry that parasite added after installation we can certainly say that IE-Security is successor of WinDefender 2009 rogue antispyware program. IE-Security promote itself with a help of Trojan horses (Zlob or Vundo), misleading websites. Objective point of IE-Security rogue is to steal money. Parasite uses scare tactics to accomplish this mission, under scare tactics we bear in mind fake security alerts, falsified system scans.

How to remove IE-Security manually:
It's possible to remove IE-Security manually, but you have to be very experienced in dealing with registry entries, program files and .dll files.

The files to be deleted:

* ie.exe
* iescan.exe
* ie-security.exe


Remove registry entries:

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IE-Security
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\IE-Security
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\IE-Security

Also there is a big possibility of incomplete removal, because some files could be hidden and program could re-install itself after you delete files and registry entries. So we strongly recommend you to use -

Lock the IE Home Page setting

I recently received an email:

Dear Steve,

I was going through google search and I came across your script. Please, how do I reset the network users home page to a particular website and make it permanent such that they would not change it?

Thanks.

Normally the answer would be to use group policy. But I have a few machines that are not even a member of a domain - and I would like to do exactly what he asked. Since group policy is simply registry settings, we can make this change by hand. (As always if you are not comfortable with the registry then don’t do any of this. A screw up in the registry can screw up your computer so bad it won’t boot anymore)

The original key to set the home page is located under:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page

If we simply extrapolate we can create a Policy key in the same location (You can do it under HKCU for just the current user, or HKLM for the whole machine)

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page

You will need to create some of the keys along the way. See my screen shot below. This is what it looks like after I have created the keys

If a picture is not a 1000 words for you, then do this:

Open regedit. Drill down to HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft

If an “Internet Explorer” key does not exist, then create one.

If under that a “Main” key does not exit, then create one.

Then in Main, you simply create a new string value, and name it “Start Page” The value you place in here will be the new home page you want to force IE to visit:

Now, when the user changes the home page - it simply ignores it (I have only tested this on IE 7…someone will have to tell me if it works on IE 6). Not very user friendly. Don’t forget that you set this up…or you might not know why every time you try to change the home page it switches back.

This seems like it should be in our Tweek IE utility…I will have to see what I can do.
