Ashampoo Internet Accelerator is a software that helps you speed up your slow internet connection so you can enjoy faster internet surfing. This program allows a fully automatic setting of the most important parameters. It supports:

• Analogue modem
• ISDN
• DSL via LAN cable or cable modem
• DSL via wireless LAN
• Other LAN connections (no DSL)

If you’re using a modem or ISDN connection, you’ll notice a big improvement in your internet speed but with a DSL connection, the tuning result isn’t quite as impressive, as there are fewer things which need adjusting in order to provide an optimization.

Ashampoo Internet Accelerator is not a freeware, however, they’re giving away this software for free for a limited time!

How to get your free Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 2:

1. Go to the promo page and enter your email address. You will then receive an email from Ashampoo with instructions for the next step.

2. Download and install Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 2.

• the server is down
• your firewall is blocking you from visiting that site, or
• there’s a problem with your internet connection

And then suddenly, you’ll freak out because you don’t know what’s going on. You’ll call your ISP and then yell at them because you cannot access this specific website. Oh wait! Before you freak out and yell at your ISP, check out these websites first! These cool sites allow you to check if a website is really down, or if it’s just your computer or network.

1. Down For Everyone Or Just Me?

This website is very simple. Just enter the URL of the website you want to check if it’s down and hit Enter or click “or just me?”.

Visit Down For Everyone Or Just Me?

2. CheckSite.us

Just like the first one, all you have to do is enter the URL of the website you want to check and hit Enter or click “Check This Site”.

Visit CheckSite.us

Now, if they can access the website, there’s probably a problem with your network and that’s the time you should freak out.

Malware, short for malicious software, is software designed to infiltrate a computer without the owner’s informed consent. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, crimeware and other malicious and unwanted software.

Actually, Malware is really scary once it enters our PC. Even some of the most popular and expensive Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware can’t detect and remove this. And do you know that by just visiting some websites, your PC can already get infected by Malware. So if you receive a warning when you’re visiting a Porn site (because porn sites are notorious for having extremely lethal malware!), just try to visit another site.

So how do we know if our PC is already infected with Malware?

1. Check if your computer is at its usual speed or is it slowing down. If your PC has slowed down recently and you didn’t install any programs, there’s a high chance that your PC is infected with Malware.

2. Open your web browser and check if the correct homepage shows up. Many Malware programs will automatically change your homepage to a high risk and questionable website.

3. Check if you are seeing pop up ads or display warnings that convince you to download a particular software even when you’re not connected in the internet. Since Malware is installed in your hard drive it can run anytime even when you close your internet connection.

If you have one of those signs of Malware infection, you should download a good Anti-Malware like Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware because having an Anti-Virus is not enough to protect your PC from these threats.

Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is considered to be the next step in the detection and removal of malware. It monitors every process and stops malicious processes before they even start. The Realtime Protection Module uses the advanced heuristic scanning technology which monitors your system to keep it safe and secure.

And the good thing about Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is that it’s a freeware! So remember, when your computer becomes infected, Malwarebytes can provide the needed assistance to remove the infection and restore the machine back to optimum performance.

How can we prevent Malware from infecting our PC?

1. Do not download programs/software in an untrusted websites. Cnet is a good site to download safe, trusted and spyware free software.

2. Run a good Anti-Virus or Anti-Malware.

3. Do not visit suspicious websites especially those that are reported as an attack site.

You can also check if your PC is infected with virus by getting a free online virus scan:

1. F-Secure Health Check

2. ESET Online Scanner

Note: F-Secure Health Check and ESET Online Scanner requires:

1. Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6™ or later, ActiveX and Javascript enabled.

2. Windows XP, Windows Vista 32-bit

3. Processor: Intel Pentium III 600 Mhz (minimum)

4. Memory: 256 MB of RAM (minimum)
