IMPORTANCE OF LAPTOP COOLING PADS


Every laptop user has felt it at one point. The scorching hot waves of the heat of your laptop slowly cooking your legs as you try to finish up a project or check your emails. You might have also noticed, the performance of your computer seems to slow down in this case, too. You are right. This isn't just your imagination. This is due to throttling that takes place in the device. Having processing power in a compact space like the body of a laptop often puts a strain on the hardware. Intensive activities like gaming or even binge watching Netflix might be causing the throttling and making your computer over heat. This problem might eventually lead to permanent damage.

However, cooling pads come to the rescue in elongating your laptops life span and helping it deliver its top performance without the hassle of overheating. The most common complaints from laptop and notebook users are that their laptops systems almost crash due to heat exhaustion and the uncomfortable feeling of using a laptop that feels too hot while in use. Laptop cooling pads increase airflow to your laptop's mechanism. Majority of these pads have fan systems that allow the laptop's system to have access to a cool stream of air. This stream of cool air helps the device stay at a stable, cool temperature, eliminating the possibility of overheating. The stabilization of temperature in the device allows the mechanism to breathe which helps the computer to function better and makes it easier for the user.

The excessive heat that the laptop produces is not comfortable or healthy for the user. Recent studies have been showing that Wi-Fi using products, such as laptops, may be harmful to the user. It is possible that the laptop-cooling pad, while cooling the device can also block off some of the harmful radiation too.

While purchasing cooling pads it is important to pay attention to things like performance, the CFM and sometimes even the fan noise factor. Amongst that, it is also important to focus on the design and pick a cooling pad suited most to your working and life style. Fortunately many laptop and notebook cooling pads are very stylish and come with cool features like different lighting features and colors.

Even the best laptops might come down due to overheating permanently. The straining of throttling can unfortunately damage your laptops and notebook devices. Sanoxy Cooling pads will however eliminate this issue and provide you with a healthier and "cooler" laptop.

More and more communities, residential, establishments, town houses and even private clubs are seeking strong and reliable security. People are now keen on who is entering their areas for security purposes. Thus, a gate control had been developed to provide the needed protection and to increase awareness of cars and people who are actually strangers and at times not permitted to enter a certain community.

In addition, those who opt to stay and reside in gated communities seek a level of confidence that they are well-secured, and that there would be lesser incidence of traffic and precise access to nearby streets. Yet, even residents have encountered difficulty in entering their community in some instance. This is because of the manual process, and can be erroneous at other times. It can also be time consuming and disorganized because of passwords and "clickers" and the use of logbooks and papers.


Risks

Typically, a gate is being constructed for the purpose of monitoring who comes in and out of a specific area. But there are also many occasions wherein visitors can enter the place with the use of remote controls to open a gate illegally and allow the car to pass. In fact, there are several ways to enter the premises unlawfully without being noticed. This event can be a huge risk for people who works or reside in that particular location since indeed, there is that great possibility that burglars, syndicates or suspicious people can pass through gates conveniently without questions.

RFID Technology

Thus, RFID technology had minimized these incidents to happen if not totally eliminate the problem. How is this so? An RFID tag is the solution to this problem. This tag is being provided for each vehicle which contains the complete details of a particular car. Therefore, those who are staying in a certain exclusive community or establishment can be monitored using this tag, and whoever enters without this device can be immediately detected.

This system therefore promotes added security and protective measures that can make the residents feel comfortable and secure. They can be assured that suspicious elements cannot easily enter the vicinity for fear of being intercepted immediately. And because of the convenience it offers, everything can be systematic, easy and time saving. There is no use for log books and record manually every car and transaction that pass through the gate.
Summary

Therefore, those who plan to enter without permission and perhaps do not have good intentions will now think twice before doing so. Easily identified, unauthorized persons will never be allowed to go in, and if the visit is authorized, the vicinity permitted is only limited to some extent.

RFID tags immediately sends an alarm or signal once there is an illegal entry or forced entry to any gated community or establishment. This is how beneficial this technology is which is now gaining popularity

Every business relies on computer technology, and all computer technology is vulnerable to cyber crime. A security breach in your small to midsize business can lead to significant loss and serious compliance issues. Here are 7 tips to help you secure your business's computers.


Determine Your Security Needs and Risks.
Take an inventory of your computer hardware, data and possible exposure. Where are your desktops, laptops, tablets, and smart phones? Who is using them and how? Who is able to access the data you collect, store or share? A security breach could cause extended downtime, fines or lawsuits. How would these affect your company?

Take the First Steps

Company computers and devices should be set up with strong passwords which are changed regularly. Protect your technology with anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-spyware software. Use encryption technology to protect wireless networks and email traffic. Use firewalls to prevent intrusions. Install security technology on all the mobile devices you and your employees use. Install updated security technology, encrypt data and use virtual private networks (VPNs) to enable secure remote access.

Update Your System

Download and install updates and patches for your operating systems and software immediately when they become available to fix or prevent security problems.

Back Up Your Files

Backing up the files you are working on has become a cliché, but the same thing applies to all of the data you produce, collect and share. Security breaches can cause you to lose everything you need to keep your business running. Backing up data to hard drives in your office is an excellent strategy, but offsite backup can save your business in the event of a fire or other catastrophe.

Train Your Employees

Human error can thwart even the most sophisticated computer security system. Employees must be educated on the necessity of using strong passwords and protecting them. Stress the importance of using strong passwords and protecting them. Point out the danger involved with opening texts or attachments from unknown senders, or clicking on questionable links in emails.

A recent problem is the habit of employees using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Sharing private company information on these websites can expose your business to security exploits. Remind employees to be aware of who may be watching them when they enter passwords or view confidential data outside the office.

Secure Your Devices

Hackers and viruses are a constant threat, but the most common path to breaching company data is through the loss or theft of laptops and mobile devices. Employees need to be aware of their surroundings and be cautious not to leave company laptops, tablets or cell phones unattended, or exposed in a vehicle. If a device is lost or stolen, they should immediately report it.

Keep Family and Business Separate

Business computers and devices should never be used by family members for games or email, especially not by children. This puts your company's data at risk. It is also important for employees to be restricted in what they can use company computers for in the office. Consider restricting access to certain websites or prohibiting use of those computers for personal business.

The answer to the above question is easy. The bad guys are winning. Cyber crime is expanding both in volume and sophistication.

Worse yet, securing your confidential information is now a matter of national security rather than just hype! Cyber criminals can steal your information assets, and cause permanent damage to your computer system and resources. Your compromised digital devices can even be enrolled in a bot army that attacks other computers like those at the Pentagon, on the power grid or in the energy and transportation sectors.

So think again. You must make certain that your computer at home, in the office or on-the-road mobile device is secure. If you dismiss the preceding sentence, you function at your own peril and so does your family members, colleagues and customers. Consider the legal mess with which Target is dealing because of the loss credit card numbers.

You can even be held liable for failing to comply with existing security regulations and controls (i.e. HIPPA or ISO 27000) or using poor and weak security practices. You need to be aware of the threat environment that exists in cyber space. You must take affirmative steps to shore up your digital security posture or you are destined to become a victim.

The author recently sustained a particularly insidious and sophisticated cyber attack at home. A pop-up screen appeared on a family member's computer announcing it was time to install a Microsoft Office upgrade. The family member felt something wasn't quite right about the message and an investigation ensued.

The pop-up turned out to be really good malware. It claimed to be a legitimate update and even came with product serial numbers, the Microsoft logo and more. The message urged the family member to download the security update and listed credentials from RSA (a major encryption provider).

The Microsoft home office was contacted. The support person with whom we spoke doubted the legitimacy of the message. We offered to take a screen shot of the pop-up and to send it to the publisher. Microsoft accepted but when we issued the command to "capture" the screen contents, the message instantly disappeared. We were stunned. The malware had ducked!

The next course of action was to manually "click" on the Microsoft website to check updates through the operating system. The remote site checked our updates and returned the message that all of our applications were updated. We were now certain that the attack had taken advantage of a known vulnerability (it did occur on "Exploit Tuesday") and was asking for authorization to write unknown code to a family computer. What would have been written on our computer and home network if we had "authorized" the download remains unknown.

Many people would have innocently approved the down load of the "security update". Doing so would have written malware to the victim's hard drive and the cyber criminal would have succeeded. The attacker, to make matters worse, would have gained continued access to confidential information resources.

The rate of growth in malware and the seriousness of losing confidential information must be addressed. The only way to do so is for every computer user to become aware and to take proactive steps to protect individually owned assets. Malicious software and cyber crime shows little evidence of going away on its own.

Nearly everyone who uses a computing device is subject to continuous attack. Cyber threats are pervasive. Computer crimes pay off and pose very little risk to the criminal. Individuals have little hope of recovering any losses.

Use to be that a cell phone was just to make voice calls, now however, they are a computer in your hand and are getting more features with each new phone version. Smartphones today can go on-line, send text messages, send and receive email, interact with Facebook and twitter, plus much more. You can do all these things on your desktop or laptop and you probably have very good internet protection. Do you have the same for your smartphone?


The smartphone has a very big security problem... it is a very easy target for the bad guys to steal and once they have it they have ALL your information, contacts, passwords and maybe even your bank accounts. Did that get you a little worried, it should have!

If all of this isn't enough, consider this; the bad guys can load software on your phone that will allow them to operate your phone's camera. Think about that. Where do you take your phone, bathroom, bedroom: how would you like that all over the internet?

The nature of smartphones and the apps available for them make this a problem that you can do something about. Both iPhones and Android Phones have apps in their stores that can cut your risk and give you a little piece of mind. Many of these apps are from major internet security companies. They offer both free and paid versions of their smartphones apps. This is one app that you should really look at paying for; you get additional security features that make the money paid worthwhile. Their paid versions are usually less than $20 per year. Some internet security companies will give you their paid version for free if you buy their desktop security software.

Security Features for Smartphone Apps:

• Virus and malware protection (checks all apps for viruses and malware)
• Scan apps that you download (before you install them)
• Browse the web safely
• Locate your phone (can be used with Google GPS or another smartphone GPS)
• Wipe all your information on phone (resets your phone to its default settings)
• Lock down your phone (no one can use it)
• Scan SD cards
• Reverse photo (you can remotely operate your camera and see who stole it)

With most of us doing banking on our smartphones today, you should make sure that your bank accounts are protected from prying eyes. The security apps for your phone should have the above features.

Common Sense is your most important security feature, think of your smartphone as a wallet or purse; you always know where those are... don't you.

Nothing could be more exquisitely painful than losing critical data you have just finished putting in after a terrible accident (as in accidental formatting) or some horribly arcane mechanical glitch (as in broken drive parts) - although the end results would still be the same whether the data in your storage system had been in place for a long while now or relatively just written. This is to say that it would be catastrophic in both situations. Luckily, technology has evolved so much that previously considered lost data may still be recovered.


RAID, Mac, or laptop, hard disk recovery of data is entirely possible provided you take the proper steps to ensure it. The first thing you need to do, right after not exploding into a fit of panic, is to make sure that the problem really is the hard drive. Tech magazines recommend that you take out your hard drive from the troubled desktop or laptop and connect it to another computer to run hard drive diagnostics. For a Mac computer, you only need to use a FireWire cable to connect your troubled, non-functioning Mac by pressing down "T" at startup. If the files from the failed hard drive show up on the working Mac, the problem might not be the hard drive. If not, then it is time to seek professional help - the kind that uses forensic quality tools that recover digital data.

Companies that specialise in desktops, RAID, and Apple Mac hard disk data recovery would be recommended as this indicates a high level of expertise. Depending on the extent of the damage and data to be recovered, this specific and very technical service will cost a great deal of money. So you want to make sure that the service provider's data recovery process will not tie you to a pricey fee. Ideally, and perhaps for less complex data recovery jobs, you may get an online quotation and send your media through shipment. The data recovery company should be able to make a diagnosis and assess cost for the job.

For more complex jobs, you may want to personally bring your hard drive to the data recovery company. This will allow you to better understand the process and, more significantly, check out the company's facilities, such as its laboratory, for security. You want to guarantee that whatever sensitive data is contained in your storage source that it will remain secure with the recovery company.

From MacBook to RAID data recovery, a proper recovery firm can retrieve or salvage your lost files. Take the necessary step today. And find a reputable recovery company - before you need one. Check this out to know more about this.
