Computer Support
A computer support consultant is a seasoned consulting role which involves contract programming and system administration. Quite a tedious job, a computer support consultant is basically hired on a contract basis and usually the consultants are experts in computer administration and dealing.
Functions
The basic concept behind hiring computer consultants is to fit into the role of the expert and get services which are otherwise not found in the employees of the company. This skill of the consultant is hired by the companies to fill in the gap and ensure smoother functioning of the company.
The computer support consultants are required to train the employees in the company who have been hired on a permanent basis. The whole idea is to train the permanent employees in such a way that they will take over the services rendered by the consultant after the training process is over.
After the underlying issues are resolved by the computer consultant, the contract usually expires. The contract can be renewed if there are other areas or department in the company which have similar issues. Otherwise the consultant leaves the company.
Prospects
While this whole process is also a learning curve experience for the computer support consultant, the consultant can earn more money in the process. The difference between a permanent employee and a consultant is that while the former has a job wherein years might be spend on a single project.
It is a reliable and less-demanding job as compared to a consultant's. Because the latter have contracts of up to 3 months or even lesser and will have to apply for jobs every few months. The chief criteria to be qualified as a computer support consultant are to possess good and specialized skills which qualify the person to be a hired giving expert advice to companies.

AVG Anti virus Update
An important factor to remember when one needs to update AVG Anti virus support to Windows 7 is that, it is necessary to update AVG to Version 9.0 to enable the migration to Windows 7. This will also help in accumulating additional features in AVG antivirus support. The major problem with most computers is that, its present or existing AVG is usually not compatible for Windows 7.
It is not well-equipped and does not have the latest features to support the program. There is no guarantee that if one has installed Windows 7, the earlier version will work fine on it. So, it is absolutely necessary to have the latest version of a good antivirus support like the AVG version and install it on Windows 7. Usually, software that have worked on previous version of Windows should work just fine on Windows 7, with the exception of software that installs low-level system components like an Anti-Virus, firewalls, or similar. These packages often are developed to only run on specific versions of Windows.
AVG Anti virus support, by far, is the most popular anti-virus support software out there, and not only does it work just perfectly under Windows 7, but it’s on the list of a small number of software packages that are officially compatible as per the requirements of Microsoft.

Usually, computers comes with the Microsoft Office or MS word along with it, they are among the better word processing programs available. It serves to perform a lot of editing tools such as spelling checks, grammar and writing techniques. However, these programs need to be activated. This is how they have to be done.

Operating System Upgrade: Things to do
By making an operating system upgrade, a computer will also function and operate more efficiently. Usually, when a user has to purchase a new operating system, it can get quite expensive. So most users stick to an operating system upgrade to suit their budget and meet their needs.
Before enabling the operating system upgrade, a few things need to be kept in mind. This includes figuring out if the hardware on a computer is compatible with the new OS. Usually newer operating systems need higher processing power. Old hardware from old computers does not meet the standards of some operating systems and as a result some applications will not function in the new operating system.
The hardware components which need to be updated to support the operating system upgrade are the CPU speed, Hard Disk, available mass storage space and RAM size amongst other things. The basic requirements are usually accessible from the computer manufacturer's website.

Microsoft Windows Users and iYogi Predict a Surge in Tech Support for Windows 7 Upgrades
"We predict that more than 40 percent of XP users will generate support calls and inquiries globally this year and even more in 2010 as mass adoption kicks in and people face the prospect of dealing with an entirely new interface," said Vishal Dhar, President Marketing & Co-founder of iYogi. "We estimate twice as many support calls for current Windows XP users than Windows Vista users, since Microsoft Windows XP users will require a 'clean' install including migrating applications, settings and drivers--a potentially arduous, time-intensive task."

Increase Internet Connection Speed in Windows XP
QoS Packet Scheduler is a method of network bandwidth management that can monitor the importance of data packets and depending upon the priority of the packet, give it higher or lower priority or bandwidth levels. It's not very useful unless you're using apps which are QoS-aware or running a server, so you can gain some network overhead back by turning it off.
Note: This following tip will not work on XP Home Edition.
1. Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2. Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).
3. Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.
4. Expand the Administrative Templates branch.
5. Expand the Network branch.
6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.
7. In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.
8. On setting tab check the ENABLED item.
9. Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).
10. Close gpedit.msc.
Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot.

How to Stop Browser Pop Ups in Firefox 3.x
Firefox 3 users have an advantage as the built-in pop-up block has the ability to block up pretty much any pop-up window, so let's get started.
Select Tools menu, then Options.
When the options window opens, click on the content tab and make sure the Block pop-up windows option is checked.
As of now we have the basic pop-up protection enabled, but what happens if you need to activate the pop-ups for a specific website that Firefox is blocking?
n order to allow pop-ups for a specific website, open the options window again (Steps 1 & 2). Go to the content tab and click on the exceptions button.
When the exceptions window opens, add the address you want to allow pop-ups on using the following naming convention: www.sitename.com / www.sitename.net (you get the drill). Then click the Allow button followed by the OK button to go back to the options window.
Now you have created an exception to allow pop-ups for that website. This process can be repeated as needed.
If for any reason you change your mind and want to remove one of the website that you added as an exception to allow pop-ups you just need to go back to the Allowed Sites window (Steps 1-3).
Now look the website you want to remove from your “Allow Pop-ups” list and highlight it. Next click the Remove Site button. The site will disappear from the list and pop-ups won’t be allowed on that website

Fix 500 Internal Server Error
The "500 Internal Server Error" message can be customized by each website. While this isn't very common, keep in mind that the 500 error may present itself in more ways than the common ones listed below:
- "500: Internal Server Error"
- "HTTP Error 500 - Internal Server Error"
- "500 Error"
Steps for Resolution
The 500 Internal Server Error is a "server-side" error, meaning the problem is not with your PC or Internet connection but instead is a problem with the web site's server.
Even though the issue is not yours to troubleshoot or resolve, there are a few things you can do:
1. Retry the web page by clicking the refresh/reload button or trying the URL from the address bar again. Even though the 500 Internal Server Error is reporting a general error on the web site's servers and not your computer, the server error may only be temporary.
Trying the page again will often be successful.
Note: If the 500 Internal Server Error message appears during the checkout process at an online merchant, be aware that duplicate attempts to checkout may end up creating multiple orders - and multiple charges! Most merchants have automatic protections from these kinds of actions but it's still something to keep in mind.
2. Come back later. The 500 Internal Server Error message is one of the most common error message seen when checking out during an online purchase so sales are often disrupted. This is usually a great incentive to resolve the issue very quickly.
3. If you can't wait any longer for the problem to be resolved or if you'd like to help out, you may want to attempt to contact the webmaster or another website contact and advise them of their server error.

Fix Ieframe.dll Browser Error
Ieframe.dll errors are fairly varied and really depend on the cause of the problem. A few of the more common ieframe.dll related errors are shown here:
"Res://ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm#"
"File Not Found C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\IEFRAME.DLL"
Most ieframe.dll "not found" or "missing" type of errors occur when using Internet Explorer 7 or while using Visual Basic 6.
The "Res://ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm" and related messages are much more common and appear in the Internet Explorer 7 browser window itself.
This post provide Browser support to fix Ieframe.dll browser problems.
Important Note: Do not, under any circumstances, download the ieframe.dll DLL file individually from any "DLL download site." There are many reasons that downloading DLLs from these sites are never a good idea.
Note: If you've already downloaded ieframe.dll from one of those DLL download sites, remove it from wherever you placed it and continue with the following steps.
1. Restart your computer unless you've already done so. The ieframe.dll error might be a fluke and a simple restart could clear it up completely.
2. Install the latest version of Internet Explorer. No matter if you're missing ieframe.dll or if you're receiving a browser error message about it, reinstalling or updating to the latest version of Internet Explorer has resolved many user's issues with ieframe.dll.
3. Using Visual Basic 6? If so, change the reference for Microsoft Internet Controls from the existing ieframe.dll to shdocvw.ocx. Save your project and then reopen it.
4. Restart your router, switch, cable/DSL modem and anything else that's used to communicate to the Internet or other computers on your network. There may be an issue in one of these pieces of hardware that a simple restart could solve.
5. Scan your entire computer for viruses. Sometimes, the ieframe.dll error will show up when your computer is infected with certain kinds of viruses. Use your antivirus software to do a complete system scan for virus infections.
6. Disable Windows Firewall in Windows XP if you have another firewall installed. Running two firewall applications at the same time can cause problems so if you have a firewall program installed like ZoneAlarm, Norton Personal Firewall, Comodo Firewall, etc., then you should not be running Windows's built-in firewall simultaneously.
Note: Even if you're positive that the Windows firewall is disabled, check again. Some Microsoft security updates have been known to re-enable the firewall automatically even if you have an existing firewall enabled in another security software program.
7. Update all non-Microsoft firewall and other security software on your computer. Certain security updates from Microsoft have been known to cause issues with security software from other vendors that those vendors are responsible for resolving. Check their websites for updates or service packs and install any that are available.
Note: If you're already running a fully updated version of your security software, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the software instead. A clean installation may stop that nagging ieframe.dll error message.
8. Visit Windows Update and install any suggested Microsoft related updates. It is true that some previous updates from Microsoft may actually cause some ieframe.dll errors, but installing more recent updates, especially those to the Windows Update software itself, may help resolve the problem.
9. Clear the temporary Internet files in Internet Explorer 7. Some ieframe.dll issues may have to do with problems accessing existing temporary Internet files.
10. Increase the frequency that Internet Explorer 7 checks for new versions of web pages. If the default setting is too infrequent and there are issues with certain pages, you may see ieframe.dll and related errors.
11. Disable Internet Explorer 7 add-ons one by one. One of your installed add-ons might be causing the ieframe.dll issue. Selectively disabling them will show you which one, if any, is causing problems.
12. Set Internet Explorer 7 security options back to their default levels. Some programs, even some updates from Microsoft, will sometimes make automatic changes to your Internet Explorer 7 security settings.
Incorrect or overprotective security settings can sometimes cause ieframe.dll issues. Returning these settings to their default levels may correct your issue.
13. Move the IE7 Temporary Internet Files Folder to its Default Location in Windows XP. If the Temporary Internet Files folder in Internet Explorer 7 has been moved from its original location, plus both Protected Mode and the Phishing Filter are enabled, the ieframe.dll error will occur.
14. Disable the Phishing Filter in Internet Explorer 7. This isn't a great long term solution if you don't have another phishing filter installed, but disabling IE7's phishing filter has been known to correct ieframe.dll issues in some situations.
15. Disable Protected Mode in Internet Explorer 7. The Protected Mode feature in Internet Explorer 7 can, in some very specific situations, be involved in generating an ieframe.dll error message.

Improve browser speed in Internet Explorer 6.0.
Solution: From the 'Tools' menu, select 'Internet Options' and set the following options to improve browser performance.
The amount of time it takes for your browser to load can depend on many things. This can include server or network traffic, your connection to the network, your computer speed and memory, and the content of the page you are loading (e.g., pages with a lot of images will load very slowly). You can turn off certain features to allow pages to load faster and save you time.
Use the following options to help improve your browser speed.
1) Disable downloading pictures. Pictures often take a long time to load, and most information on Web pages is text, turn off pictures to prevent them from downloading.
NOTE: You will see an icon which indicates that the picture is missing and to view the image, right click on the icon.
2) Disable page transitions.
3) Disable play animations.
4) Disable background music.
5) Clear your history or at a minimum set history to 1.
6) Customize how often Internet Explorer checks the Web for updated content.
TIP: For optimum speed, select 'Automatically' check for newer versions of stored pages.
7) Increase the size of your cache file.
NOTE: The Temporary Internet Files folder, referred to as the cache, contains a record of the items you have seen or downloaded from the Web, including images, sounds, Web pages, and even cookies. This reduces the time you wait for the page to load because loading the copy on your machine is quicker than retrieving a new copy from the web site.

Mozilla Fixes Critical Firefox Flaws
The latest Firefox version 3.0.8, which initially was slated for release April 1, addresses critical errors affecting multiple versions of the Firefox 3 Web browser.
One of the critical Firefox updates repaired a critical flaw, made public during the renowned pwn2own contest at the CanSecWest 2009 hacker conference earlier in March that could allow hackers to launch a drive-by attack in the context of the browser.
The flaw was publicly demonstrated by a German hacker known only as Nils, 25, who successfully hacked the browser in exchange for a Sony Vaio machine running Windows 7.
The second critical bug, affecting Firefox version 3.0.7, stems from a XSLT vulnerability that resulted from improper handling of errors when transforming an XML document. The flaw, which was first brought to light by security researcher Guido Landi, could potentially be exploited by attackers who enticed unsuspecting users to open a malicious file using the affected Firefox browser. Once the victim viewed an infected file, attackers could then execute arbitrary code on the user's computer to crash the browser or initiate a denial of service attack.
While the execution of arbitrary code hasn't been proven in the XSLT flaw, it is also not entirely ruled out, Secunia researchers said in blog post.
Mozilla said in its advisory Thursday that it had been investigating both issues and was in the process of undergoing quality assurance testing for the impending fixes, implying that they would be forthcoming soon.
Security experts recommended that users update their browsers with the latest version of Firefox in order to protect vulnerable systems from attack. Additionally, Secunia researchers advised in a blog post that users avoid opening untrusted Web sites or clicking on unsolicited links, which might contain malware.
