Slow PC? Find out the Reason and Speed it up With AbpMon

There is nothing more painful than a PC running slow. It is not always easy to pin point the process which is hogging the system memory and slowing down the PC. Yes, the default Windows Task manager provides you some information about memory usage and list of processes running, but it isn’t capable enough to easily fix the issue. This is where, AbpMon chips in.
AbpMon is a resizable and dockable toolbar for your desktop that graphically shows the most popular system information in real time:

Total CPU(s), memory (physical, virtual, cache and swap) usage
Data rates on local disks, network server/client, Dial-Up I/O
TCP/IP, VPN in/out data rates
Total number of User/GDI objects (in Windows 2000 or later)
Free GDI/User (system) resources (in Windows 9x/ME)
Total number of open Win32 handles (files, events and so on)

As you can see in the screenshot above, the UI isn’t the best we have seen in recent times, but it provides a magnitude of information in an easily comprehensible manner. It can show alerts from System tray about low resources or leaks like Low Virtual memory, Low GDI/USER Resource etc.
The best part of AbpMon is the ease with which you are able to free the RAM usage, clear clipboard contents, flush file cache, shutdown, restart, hibernate, force shutdown/restart and lock your computer, all of these right from the system tray!
AbpMon used to be a shareware before and was recently made free by it’s developer (IARSN). Go ahead and download AbpMon for free! It works on any Windows system – 95, 98, XP, ME, 2000, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008 and Windows 7 (both 32 bit & 64 bit versions).

The Right Way to Clean Your Keyboard, Tablet and Smartphone

W e recently came across the list of the top most dirty objects in an average household, and surprisingly, it’s not the toilet seat. Some of the items that were ranked at the top of that list have definitely made us think twice before making a call or looking up updates on Facebook. The keyboard on which you typed to get to this page, or the touchscreen that you swipe on are some of the most bacteria-rich items in your household, so keeping these squeaky clean should be a top priority. While there are lots of methods and products for cleaning these items, most of us ignore this. How similar do you find this scenario: Your smartphone’s screen is really dirty, so you rub it on your shirt, or a piece of cloth that’s close by, or you remember that it’s been some time since you’ve cleaned your keyboard, so you turn it upside down and give it a few slaps. Most of us use this (or a very similar) technique and think “Now it’s clean!”, but the truth of the matter is that it’s j...
