Firefox undoubtedly is one of the best web browser we have.  Though there are some problems with it too. If your firefox is heavily loaded with add-ons and themes it will take ages to startup. If you are facing the same problem then here is the solution for you.

Firefox Preloader is a small utility which resides in your system tray and loads some parts of Firefox into memory as soon as your system starts. So that next time when you run Firefox it will start in a second, no waiting time.

It is actually light on resources, requires only 4mb of RAM and 0% CPU usage.

Detect and remove autorun.inf from Pen Drive

Filed under Computer tricks, PC Troubleshooting, Security Tips, Virus Removal Tuts, Windows Tricks by on May 12, 2010 at 7:05 pm {4 comments}

Autorun.inf is the file which determines which program will execute automatically when you open or connect your pen drive. Majority of the virus programs use this file to spread themselves. So if not needed this file should be removed from the pen drive. But it is not an easy task to remove the virus affected autorun.inf from the pen drive.

So for novice users I will recommend to use Autorun eater. Autorun eater automatically detects the autorun.inf file and if it is actually infected by a virus then it can also tell you the files associated with it.

This can be really helpful because most of the time people don’t know what to delete after deleting the autorun.inf.

To add some more value to this software the developer has added some more tools  to fix common windows problems like disabled task manager , registry editor  or hidden folder settings.
