If you’re new here, you must be the luckiest person to visit my blog :). I like to blog about making money online, feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Drop me some comment, I would like to know you more

1. A Cluttered Registry -

The longer you use Windows, the more cluttered your registry can grow, especially if you regularly install and uninstall software. Some applications, known as “orphan” registry entries, don’t remove all traces of themselves when uninstalled, causing problems such as sluggish performance, system lockups, or a bloated registry that takes longer to load. The easiest way to clean your registry is to use a registry cleaner, such as PC Tune-Up. With the click of a button, PC Tune-Up will scan your registry for these fragmented files, bring them together, and safely remove them.

2. Full Hard Drive -

It’s possible that your hard drive could be too full of data to function efficiently. You should have at least 2 - 3MB of free space for programs to run smoothly. If you don’t have this much free space, you can delete unused programs on the C: drive. Check your C: drive to see how much space you have on your computer. You can do this by going to Start > My Computer > C: drive. Click on the C: drive and it will tell you how much free space you have under ‘Details’ on the left bar.

3. Not Enough Memory -

It’s important to have enough memory on your computer to keep programs running smoothly, especially if you have large programs, or play a lot of PC games. It is recommended that you have at least 512MB on your PC, although at this point, 1GB seems to be the sweet spot. The amount of RAM your PC has can be checked by right-clicking ‘My Computer’ and choosing ‘Properties’. If you need to upgrade your RAM, be sure to check your local retail ads for sales. You can usually get a RAM upgrade at a great price.

4. Too Many Start-Up Programs -

When you boot your computer, there are several programs that automatically start behind the scenes. These programs eat up your computer’s available processing capacity and slow it down dramatically. Most likely, you don’t need all of these programs to automatically start when you boot your computer. Some programs, such as PC Tune-Up include Start-Up Wizards that scan your computer for all of the start-up programs and allow you to simply select the ones that you don’t want to start automatically.

5. Spyware and Malicious Programs -

If you have ever experienced annoyances such as a new toolbar in your Internet browser, or a new startup page that you did not set, you are likely plagued with spyware. Fortunately, if you are running one of our product versions that includes anti-spyware, such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite, Pro, or Anti-Spyware you are protected from this threat. If not, why not upgrade now?

 to
reveal your password or other personal or financial information. PayPal

always address you by your first and last name.

about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight fraud

Last week, I read a problogger income can reach up to RM16 K in a month..WOW.is that for real. .and I wonder to myself $$$.

My work ? I have to drive 45 minutes every morning to my office in Shah Alam. Faces my ignorant boss.Prepare some letter and proposal and the most important thing make more money for him. Sadly,my salary didn’t even reach a quarter of that.

On the other hand, this blogger just sit in front of her laptop in her house any time. Write something about making money online, paypal,increase traffic, Google Adsense,Text Ad Link and wait for the money to come…So easy…

I wish I could do the same and improve my writing skill. Having a streamyx in my house is my first step and one day I will post about my income :)

For now, I just want to yell SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!

Why do we read Quran, even when we can’t understand a single Arabic word ?

Heidi and her grandfatherImage via Wikipedia

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quraan. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the Quraan just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book.What good does reading the Quraan do?”

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,” and he went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house.

The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless!” “So you think it is useless?” The old man said, “Look at the basket.”

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out. “Son, that’s what happens when you read the Quraan. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.”
