The 9 cell lenovo thinkpad t60 battery. Add a little weight on the standard 6-cell and takes, but if you need to live for approximately four hours of battery life with the Model 15 "screen size. With the T60, without Wi-Fi and the average brightness (third notch 7) drop what I 3 hours and 42 minutes of battery life with light (for writing, or stop). You can expect to find more than three hours with Wi -Fi and finishing a DVD with a 9-cell battery should not be a problem as well, except for The Lord of the Rings.


The screen size T60 14 "is much better compared with the period of battery life per cell because a smaller screen just drains less battery. I think the 6-cell battery for T60 14 "you get what the 9 - to 15 battery" - again, just an uneducated guess.

Removing virus manually (II): Search and Destroy

Removing virus manually (II): Search and Destroy



In the Part of this series we saw a series of guidelines that can tell if your computer is infected with malicious code that your antivirus has been unable to detect. Of course, that was only the beginning.


The next step is find and eradicate the threat so that never again be a problem. Here are a few recommendations to make it as safe as possible.


1. Find the infected file


A good starting point is to find a file that is clearly infected. In the previous installment we saw how to search the Windows boot or running processes. The idea is to get some information on which to start work.


One way is to up the infected file to a analyzes the page that shows many antivirus. Thus not only can we get the name of the virus that is installed on our team, but also know what antivirus are able to detect it.


2a. Removal for Good


Now we know what it's called and who is able to kill it, why not use this information for us? Most antivirus programs have a free trial. Therefore, it is not bad idea download antivirus able to detect and eliminate the threat that ails you.


If you have not had luck with the above method and none of the antivirus convince you, you can always use specific vaccines, if they exist. Added you can find a few in the corresponding category. There's also a good number of them in the pages of Symantec and BitDefenderTo name a few.


2b. Manual Removal


If the above fails ... have to get your hands dirty yourself. The main objective is to delete the infected file, but this is not always possible. Usually they are protected so you can not erase, or other process is responsible to regenerate after each boot.


For those files that refuse to be deleted you can use Unlocker (we talked about it some time ago), a program focused on this task. Unfortunately there are occasions when the removal will fail, but do not despair, there's something you can do.


The Safe Mode Windows starts the system with fewer components, and that includes, at times, that elusive file you are trying to erase. "Nor does it work? Well, in that case you will need heavy artillery. Do you have another operating system installed on the computer? Since he will erase it. If not, you always have the option of using System Recovery ConsoleA LiveCD or even USB key a distribution of Linux that can read and write NTFS.


3. Remove boot


If you deleted the correct file, it is likely that the next time you boot Windows will display an error window indicating a fault when trying to load a file that does not exist. It is a good sign because it indicates you've hit the jackpot. Missing you delete the entries that mention start to finish cleaning.


However, it often happens that the file you deleted is actually deleted ... but another takes its place. This is because the virus has "noticed" that have cleared one of its files and has regenerated. Similarly, it can also detect when you've removed and reinstalled boot on it.


The theory is: start starts an executable which therefore becomes an active process that monitors the startup and the files. If you remove the starter, getting back on its own. If you delete the file is restored. Many times, well, Windows will not let you close the process from the Task Manager.


In this case, you deleted the wrong file. Like a vampire hunting is involved, you have to kill the vampire head first, and all others will fall. O, leaving the mystical terminology, you should delete the file and regenerating is monitoring the virus.


For this you must return to step 1 and find the main virus file with the help of utilities such as System Explorer, Sysinternals Suite or NirSoft utilities. Then, return to step 2 and proceeds from there.


Conclusions


Remove viruses, trojans and other undesirable things manually is an arduous task and is not available to everyone, but it has its rewards. For example, most of the time the system will remain intact, which saves you the hassle of reformatting and reinstalling the system. Furthermore, in some cases it is faster than waiting for a complete antivirus scan all your files.


In any case, with patience, some common sense and keeping in mind that a virus is simply that a computer program, the results are usually positive. We hope these general guidelines you serve to alleviate the discomfort caused by these unwanted guests.
