SA YouTube offers users cash

Cape Town - Following the launch of YouTube in SA, users have been invited to join its partner programme which promises revenue from the video sharing site.

"Original content creators in South Africa will now have the chance to reap rewards from their work and share revenue from ads which can be placed within or alongside their videos," YouTube told News24 in a statement.

South Africans who join the programme would commit themselves to regularly uploading videos and express permission to "use and monetise all audio and video content" that they upload.

There has been some positive feedback from users who produce online videos.

"We've seen and read about some of the benefits of the programme, and are pleased that South African video content creators such as us now have the opportunity to earn revenue from videos, which now reach an international audience," said Thierry Cassuto, co-creator of satire ZANews.

Difficult issue

"Sixpack Factory, which provides workout tips and routines, has subscribers from all around the world, even countries I have never heard of before," said Petrus Cilliers (moricestreet909) who developed a fitness channel.

Revenue generation on the internet is still a difficult issue for several businesses, but recent announcements by several ISPs that they are providing uncapped internet access has been welcomed as a sign that new business models may emerge online.

YouTube also certainly hopes to use the user content to generate income, while building a base of local users who produce content.

"By enabling our users to earn revenue from their content we hope to inspire South Africans to continue to create compelling, engaging and viral content for the YouTube community," said Ben Novick, Communication Manager for YouTube.

Advertisers can also now aim ads specifically to target audiences, based on the user generated content.

VeriSign adds malware scanning to SSL services

VeriSign is adding malware scanning to its authentication services for Web site operators, the company announced on Monday.
The "VeriSign Trusted" check mark seal indicates to Web surfers that VeriSign has verified that the site represents the organization or company that it purports to be and that it is using encryption to protect communications between the site and its visitors. Now, existing and new VeriSign SSL customers will have their sites scanned daily to check for malware as well, at no extra cost, said Tim Callan, vice president of product marketing at VeriSign.

The company also is adding its seals to Web search results on shopping search engines Pricegrabber and TheFind, as well as on Google and Bing for people using AVG's LinkScanner software. "We are aggressively pursuing deals with other search engines," Callan said.
If VeriSign discovers malware on a customer Web site, it will remove the seal and notify the site administrator via e-mail. Site administrators can see a report detailing what code was found and where via a VeriSign management console. When the malware is removed VeriSign will scan the site to verify that and then replace the seal.

The increase in drive-by-downloads in which Web surfers are infected with malware just by visiting a site prompted VeriSign to add this additional level of security for its customers, he said.
"Our seal and our service is widely understood to be the most recognized, most prominent indicator of a safe Web experience," Callan said. "In order for our seal to still mean what people think it means we needed to offer this service moving forward."
The service enhancement is also a way for VeriSign to differentiate its SSL certificate services from the dozens of other companies offering similar services. "We view ourselves as the Mercedes Benz of this category," Callan said. "We are making sure we are best of breed."
The malware scanning will be rolled out in stages to all VeriSign branded SSL certificate customers worldwide between now and the end of the year, he said.

Fix Windows Registry Errors

The most important reason you should fix Windows Registry errors as they occur is that this the one single preventative measure can greatly increase the life-expectancy of your Windows system by stabilizing the growth of its Registry.


It is a fact of Windows that trying to fix Registry problems after they occur is much more difficult than preventing their occurrence in the first place. So when it comes to the Windows Registry, the motto should always be "prevention is key!" This is because it is often the most common and abundant types of errors that wind up killing Registries, especially those caused by a system's registered applications, users, and even Windows itself. As new applications are installed and old applications are removed, and as registered applications continue accessing and changing Registry data, they often leave small bits of themselves behind as orphaned registry entries.

By themselves, these errors will probably not reveal themselves in any degradation of speed or normal Windows functions, especially if your system is new. But if these errors are allowed to accumulate for a very long time, they can greatly increase a Registry's size and wreak havoc on the overall structure and stability of its database. And for a fast-growing Registry, even small error accumulations can quickly send your Registry's database structure out of control. If you don't fix these Windows Registry errors often, your system can very easily fall victim to sudden crashes, system stalls, or a severe decrease in operating speed. It is particularly at risk if you frequently install or uninstall applications and hardware, since these actions increase the Registry's rate of growth further by adding more registered components, orphaned Registry entries, and undeleted drivers to your system.

Registry Repair Utilities Once you have made the decision to fix Windows Registry errors on your system, you will need to know something about how to go about it. Although some versions of Windows provide built-in background system utilities designed to maintain Registry structure and stability, these utilities only address the most basic Registry problems in the most primitive ways, making them insufficient when a Registry becomes very large and complicated. However, there are many third-party Windows Registry repair utilities available on the Internet that are inexpensive and easy to use. For general maintenance and prevention purposes, Combination Repair/Cleaning utilities are perfect. They are effective in finding and removing errors caused by invalid references, viruses, and spyware/tracking programs, and usually have other features, like Registry defragmenting and backup/restore utilities and scanning schedules, that make it very easy to maintain your computer's health and optimize its performance.

How To Remove Keylogger

Keylogger is a program that monitors your keystrokes on a personal computer. It will generally be controlled by an outside host and will log the user's private secure information to be used later, sometimes in a criminal manner. 

One can find legal keylogger systems that are often installed by companies for productivity purposes. The malicious ones are often installed as a hidden part of software and attachable files may contain them too. The first step on how to remove a keylogger is to make use of security software. You should make sure that you have security software installed. This type of software is also freely available on the internet. The first thing is to do a security scan and if the software detects a problem, it will generally quarantine it. There are other ways you can try. If you do not feel confident about trying this yourself, get assistance from someone you trust.

You have to turn off the system restore option on your computer. Go to start/control panel/system/system restore and put a checkmark against 'turn off system restore on all drives.' Then 'apply.' This removes all restore points, but if there is a threat, the chances of being infected again are minimized. Now restart in safe mode. Press F8 while the computer is restarting and this will eventually offer you a safe mode option. Do a system scan again. Once you are satisfied that you have rid your computer of the spyware, re-activate 'system restore' again. 

Another option on removing keylogger is to do a 'system restore' to a time before the infection. This, however, can of course only be done if you know more or less when your system became infected. I personally managed to clean up my PC with a powerful spyware and keylogger cleaning software which you can find at Webroot Antivirus

WinZip 14.5

With WinZip version 14 WinZip aims specifically at Windows 7 compliance and enhancements, and adds a few other new features, too. WinZip in Windows 7 gets extensive support for libraries, tools, and recent archives in the jumplist, previews in Windows Explorer for certain file types, and basic touch-screen support. Multitouch support is limited to rotating pictures previewed from WinZip archives.
WinZip 14 also includes minor security enhancements. New automatic wiping keeps confidential data secret by "shredding" the temporary file that WinZip creates by default whenever it opens an archive. The shredding uses U.S. Department of Defense standard DoD 5220.22-M. WinZip 14 now also supports the built-in AES encryption in Intel-based computers, speeding up the time it takes to encrypt an archive. This builds on the encryption overhaul from last year's version, which included customizable password requirements and enhancements for determining how, if at all, encryption would be enforced.
WinZip 14 retains its large feature set, including drag-and-drop support, content-sensitive previews. It has better JPEG compression that can see JPEG-only archives up to 20 percent smaller, Zip from Camera, and deep context menu support enables you to perform most of WinZip's functions on the fly. However, while installing you should keep an eye out for the Google Toolbar and the "WinZip Computing" that collects anonymous usage data; both are opt-out. Still, WinZip is among the best compression programs available, providing all the features necessary to create easy backups, compress e-mail files, and manage downloaded files from the Internet.
