A increasingly popular technique for rootkits is to install malicious drivers that start very early in the boot process. Malware launching in this manner makes it very hard to detect or remove infections without using specialized tools and techniques. To combat this, Microsoft has added a new feature to Windows 8 called Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection. This feature allows certified antivirus programs that support early launch to load their own driver before almost all Windows boot drivers. This antivirus driver will then scan each and every boot driver that attempts to load and depending on how early launch is configured and whether the driver was detected as malware, will block it from loading. If these malware boot-start drivers are unable to load, then the rest of the malware infection does not become activated and it is much easier for your antivirus software to remove the infection.
If a driver is classified as malware by Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection because it is malicious or because of a false positive, the driver may not be allowed to load. If this is a necessary driver for Windows to start properly, then we could have a problem where Windows is unable to boot up properly. To protect Windows from a situation like this, Microsoft added a method for you to disable Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection during a boot so that you can resolve your issues by either updating your virus detections or removing the problematic malware driver. Then the next time you reboot your computer, Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection will automatically start again and continue protecting your computer.
This tutorial will walk you through disabling the Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection so that you can resolve any issues that may be causing Windows to not start properly. To do this please follow these steps to access the Startup Settings screen.
Please type Advanced on the Windows 8 Start Screen. When the search results appear click on the Settings category as shown in the image below.

Advanced start screen search

Now click on the option labeled Advanced startup options and you will be brought to the General PC Settings screen. Scroll down to the bottom until you see an option labeled Advanced startup. Click on the Restart now button and Windows 8 will restart your computer and go directly into the Advanced Startup options menu.

Advanced startup options menu

Now click on the Troubleshoot button and then the Advanced options button. You will now be at the Advanced options screen where you should click on the Startup settings option.

Startup settings option

At the Startup Settings screen, click on the Restart button. Your computer will be restarted and brought into the Startup Settings menu as shown below.

Startup Setting options

Now press the number 8 on your keyboard. This will launch Windows, but with the early launch anti-malware protection disabled. You can now login to Windows and update your virus definitions or perform further scans for malicious programs that may be causing Windows to not start properly. The next time you reboot, Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection will be enabled again automatically.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please feel free to ask us in the Windows 8 Forum.

No matter how tech savvy you are, there are certain things every one of us has to deal with when using a computer—and we don’t always deal with them in the most efficient ways. Here are 10 things that everyone can (and should) learn to keep their computer fast, safe, and easy to use.

Here at Lifehacker, we take a lot of the simpler stuff for granted: how to avoid viruses, use keyboard shortcuts, or even keep your data backed up. Even if you’ve mastered all of these tricks (and there’s a good chance you haven’t), you may want to send this along to some of your less computer-savvy friends. After all, the more they know how to do, the less they’ll call you for help. If you’re looking for some more advanced tricks, we’ve got them for you

10. Set Up a Simple Backup System



We all know we should back up our computers, but it’s always one of those things that you’ll set up “one day”. Setting up a backup only takes minutes, though, so you can do it right now and forget about it until you need it—and when you do need it, you’ll be glad you set it up. If you’re just backing up to an external drive, you can just use the simple tools built in to your computer, like Windows Backup or Apple’s Time Machine. However, that’ll only keep you safe if your computer fails. If you lose your home in a fire, get all your gear stolen, or experience any other kind of disaster (God forbid), you’ll have lost all those important documents, family photos, and other files forever. So, we recommend using a service like CrashPlan to back up your computer online. That way, it can back up no matter where you are, and that data will be safe no matter what happens to your hardware.


9. Do Everything Faster with Shortcuts


The great thing about computers is that they can do a lot of things much faster than a human. Say you’re looking for a specific word on a web page. Instead of scanning it yourself, all you need to do is press Ctrl+F and type the word you’re looking for. There are mountains of shortcut like this, from pressing Ctrl+S to instantly save the file you’re working on, Ctrl+P to print it out, or Ctrl+T to open a new tab in your web browser. It may seem like more trouble than its worth at first, but after you use a shortcut one or two times, you’ll wonder why you ever did anything with the mouse. Check out our list of six shortcuts everyone should know, as well as our shortcut of the day series for even more tricks.
8. Protect Yourself From Viruses


Windows users have long known the pain of viruses and other malware, but the good news is it’s pretty easy to avoid. First, we recommend learning the difference between viruses, trojans, and other kinds of attacks, as well as the myths surrounding them. Then, install some good, free antivirus software to protect yourself (Avast is our current favorite, but Bitdefender is a slightly less nerdy, equally secure option). You can even get antivirus for your Android phone, if you so choose. But in the end, the best way to avoid viruses is to use common sense: don’t open links that look suspicious, don’t install programs from untrusted sources, and if a window pops up saying your computer’s infected, make sure it’s actually your antivirus software saying that and not a fake web page.


7. Set Up Your Network (and Fix Wi-Fi Problems)


Understanding routers, modems, and the other things that make up your network can seem daunting, but there are a few basics that can fix most problems that come your way. Does your router constantly need resetting?Make sure it isn’t overheating or clogged with traffic. Is your Wi-Fi speed and range less than ideal? Use one of these tricks to give it a boost. If you experience more serious problems, you can probably fix them yourself too. Check out our complete guide to knowing your network for more info—it’s got everything you need to know, from buying a router to setting up your network and more.


6. Keep Your PC Free of Crap


Ever wonder how that Yahoo toolbar got on your system, or why there’s so much junk installed on your brand new machine? Crapware is a huge problem in the world of Windows, but that doesn’t mean you have to take it lying down. With the right tools and a little know-how, you can avoid that crapware forevermore: just uninstall the stuff that came with your system, and learn the ways companies trick you into installing stuff you don’t want. You’ll keep that system nice and clean, and beat the scammers at their own game.


5. Access Your Home Computer From Anywhere


Ever go out with your laptop and realize you left something important on your computer at home? One way to solve this problem is to use a service likeDropbox, so your files are with you everywhere you go. However, it’s also handy to know how to use your home computer from anywhere. With a simple app like TeamViewer, you can log into your home computer from another machine and use it as if you were sitting right at your desk—whether you just need to grab a quick file or access a program you don’t have elsewhere.


4. Keep Your Computer in Tip-Top Shape with Regular Maintenance


Computer maintenance has gotten really confusing over the years. Betweendefragging, cleaning up temporary files, and other tasks, it’s almost like trying to maintain a car. Luckily, it’s gotten a lot easier in recent years: you only really need to do one or two things to keep your computer running fast and smooth. Check out our guides to Windows maintenance and Mac maintenancefor more info and keep your PC running like new. And if your phone’s feeling a little sluggish, we have guides for iOS and Android, too.


3. Instantly Share a File Between Two Computers


So you’ve got some files you want to give to your friend sitting next to you, but your flash drive has mysteriously gone missing. Well guess what? You don’t need it! It’s very easy to transfer a file between two computers over your wireless (or wired) network, whether it’s between you and a friend or between multiple computers you own. Here are our favorite ways to share files with a nearby computer, but if you want to share them between multiple computers in your house, Windows’ Homegroup feature is a great option. Of course, this is where the aforementioned Dropbox app can come in handy, too.


2. Easily Find Your Lost or Stolen Gadgets

You never know when you might misplace your phone, laptop, or other tech, so set up some safeguards now. iPhone users can enable Find My iPhone, and Android users should enable the Android Device Manager, which allows you to track your phone if you lose it. Of course, you can always get a more feature-rich app like Prey, which can track nearly any laptop or smartphone that’s gone missing, and even get a photo of who might be using it. If you’re missing a camera, the CameraTrace service can help you find it, too. Of course, the best solution is making sure it doesn’t get stolen in the first place, and making sure all your personal data is locked down. Which brings us to our last tip...

1. Keep Your Personal Information Safe and Secure


Unfortunately, the internet isn’t always a safe place, which means everyone needs to make sure they’re keeping their personal information safe. Make sure you use strong passwords, remove personal information from photos and other files, and never use open public Wi-Fi networks without protection. Keeping your personal information safe is easier than it sounds, and if you aren’t sure what to do, check out our checklist for staying safe online. You’d be surprised how unsafe you were being before.

New York: Not allowed to use Facebook at work? That may change in near future as Facebook at Work - designed specifically for communicating with colleagues - comes along.



The tool has been in beta since January, but the pilot programme is ending, and the company is likely to launch a freemium version of the interoffice network by the end of the year, Re/code reported project head Julien Codorniou as saying.

Facebook has been using a version of Facebook at Work internally for years. 

More than 100 companies are using Facebook at Work as part of the beta. Many of those companies are just now starting to expand the product internally. 

Heineken, a leading lager beer company, for example, has been testing the product with just 40 of its top executives, but plans to expand Facebook at Work to all 550 US employees by the end of September. 

Linio, a Latin American e-commerce company, is expanding the product internally from 200 to 2,000 employees by the end of the month.

Facebook may cash in on the "familiarity". "If somebody comes into the company, they know how to use this tool from day one. So training cost is zero. That’s important,” Ryan Holmes, CEO of Hootsuite, which is part of the beta group, was quoted as saying.

Facebook will need to convince employers that green-lighting Facebook use among the staff won’t result in a loss of productivity.

"It is unrealistic that organisations try to lock people out of social. It is like telling people that they can’t have their own personal phone,” Holmes noted.

Facebook vice president for mobile and global access policy Kevin Martin at the India Economic Convention 2015 said that the social-networking giant was planning to launch a special Wi-Fi service in India which would aid in subsidising the cost of accessing internet.




He added that Facebook's connectivity lab has been working with drones and unmanned aerial vehicles to lower the cost of service to people without infrastructure.

"We are rolling out a kind of Wi-Fi service at a lower cost which is trying to adjust cost issue in other countries and looking out to do that in India," Martin said at the convention.

Martin added that Facebook's internet service would come without advertisement and videos thereby claiming lesser bandwidth and benefiting users.

He also reiterated that the social networking giant supports the concept of net neutrality and internet.org initiative was to enable people to realise the importance of Internet by providing access to basic web service free of data cost.

Indian government is finally set to launch the latest version of its own operating system dubbed as the Bharat Operating System Solutions, also known as BOSS.




The operating system which was originally developed in 2007 by National Resource Centre for Free/Open Source Software is now said to have been developed along with Gujarat Technical University, DRDO and a few private computer geeks being involved.

However, the latest version of BOSS which is developed by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) will be unveiled this week.


Certified by the Linux Foundation, the new operating system is said to come with powerful security features and will be able to protect from countless attacks by hackers.


Along with this, the new OS also comes in line with the Digital India movement and Make in India initiatives.

It is being said that the new OS comes with a virtual keyboard on the display screen itself and a bulk file converter which ensures a safe and speedy transfer of data.


Also, it is being said that new OS was able to withstand the activities by Army Intelligence who tried to break it but in vein.


The new OS comes with almost all the features of Microsoft Windows and at the same time is completely secured and easy to use.


The Indian operating system will be supporting 18 languages including regional languages such as Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati and Malayalam to name a few.

Having said this, the new OS is expected to replace Microsoft Windows for official use pretty soon and also in the near future, it is expected to partner with big institutions and companies to make this new OS available to every user.

Twitter is invading the privacy of its users by reading their private messages, according to a new lawsuit.

Image result for twitter latest logo


The tools the site uses to redirect links mean that it is effectively reading and altering messages sent by its users, according to a lawsuit brought by Californian Wilford Raney.

When a user sends a message in a direct message, Twitter automatically recognises it and redirects it into a short link. Even though that link will appear as if it is going to the actual website (shortening a link for this website to ind.pn, for instance) it will first redirect a users’ browser to go to its own website, and then sends them on to the requested page.

"Before Twitter delivers the message to the intended recipient, Twitter intercepts and accesses the contents of the message. The moment the consumer clicks Send, Twitter's service will open, scan, and potentially alter the contents of the message," Raney argues in his filing. Twitter gather information on what links people are sharing and where they are going, according to the suit.

“Twitter benefits immensely from replacinguser hyperlinks with its own,” Raney writes in his suit. “For instance, Twitter increases its perceived value to third-party websites and would-be advertisers” since they will know what addresses users are heading to. “The end result is that Twitter can negotiate better advertising rates.”

The shortening tool thus reads through messages but “never obtains (or seeks) its users’ consent”, the suit says. It is for that reason that Raney is bringing the case, he says, encouraging others to join in with the proceedings.

Twitter said in a statement that the claims “are meritless” and that it intends to “fight them”.

The video game industry is a global phenomenon. There are more than 1.2 billion gamers across the planet, with sales projected soon to pass $100bn (£65bn) per year.

The games frequently stand accused of causing violence and addiction. Yet three decades of research have failed to produce consensus among scientists.

In laboratory studies, some researchers have found an increase of about 4% in gamers' levels of aggression after playing violent games.

Image captionA growing body of evidence suggests video games can affect the brain's development

But other research groups have concluded factors such as family background, mental health or simply being male are more significant in determining levels of aggression.

What is certain is that science has failed to find a causal link between video games and real-world acts of violence.

But away from the controversy, a growing body of work is beginning to show these games in a different light.

In the game, players must guide a child and her pet robot out of a mine.

But this is no ordinary game. Dr Hoedemaker is a keyhole surgeon, and Underground is designed to hone the skills of his profession.

Players use adapted controllers that mimic the tools used in surgery - and those who perform well in the game also do better in tests of their surgical skills.
Visual abilities

Around the world, other researchers are investigating the potential hidden benefits in video games.

At the University of Geneva, Prof Daphne Bavelier has compared the visual abilities of gamers and non-gamers.

In one test, subjects must try to keep track of the position of multiple moving objects.

She has found that individuals who play action video games perform markedly better than those who do not.

Prof Bavelier's theory is that fast action games require the player constantly to switch their attention from one part of the screen to another while also staying vigilant for other events in the environment.


Image captionProf Bavelier found action video gamers were better than other people at remembering which smiley faces in an experiment were blue

This challenges the brain, making it process incoming visual information more efficiently.
Brain growth

At the Max-Planck Institute of Human Behaviour, in Berlin, Prof Simone Kuhn also researches the effects of the video games on the brain.

In one study, she used fMRI (functional MRI) technology to study the brains of subjects as they played Super Mario 64 DS, over a period of two months.

Remarkably, she found that three areas of the brain had grown - the prefrontal cortex, right hippocampus and cerebellum - all involved in navigation and fine motor control.

Image copyrightNintendoImage captionVolunteers had their brains scanned to study how they were affected by playing Super Mario


The visual layout of this game is distinctive: a 3D view on the top screen and a 2D map view on the bottom.

Prof Kuhn believes having to navigate simultaneously in different ways may be what stimulates brain growth.
Keeping sharp

Arguably the most exciting field of research is exploring the potential of video games to tackle mental decline in old age.

While electronic "brain training" games have long had enormous popular appeal, there is no hard evidence playing them has any effect beyond improving your score

But at the University of California, San Francisco, Prof Adam Gazzaley and a team of video game designers have created a game with a difference: Neuroracer.

Image captionProf Gazzaley believes pensioners can improve their ability to multitask if they play the right kind of video games


Aimed at older players, it requires individuals to steer a car while at the same time performing other tasks.

After playing the game for 12 hours, Prof Gazzaley found pensioners had improved their performance so much they were beating 20-year-olds playing it for the first time.

He also measured improvements in their working memory and attention span.

Crucially, this showed that skills improved through playing the game were transferable into the real world.

Image copyrightNeuroracerImage captionNeuroracer players had to steer a vehicle and react to different signs at the same time

To test whether off-the-shelf games might bring similar benefits to elderly players, the BBC's Horizon programme recruited a small group of older volunteers from a sheltered housing complex in Glasgow.

They learned to play a popular karting game, clocking up about 15 hours each over five weeks. Their working memory and attention spans were tested before and after.

On average, both these scores increased by about 30%.

Although this was only a small test, larger scientific studies will continue to explore the effects of playing video games.

Image captionHorizon challenged some pensioners to play a Sonic the Hedgehog karting game


Prof Gazzaley believes we are only just beginning to tap their potential.

"I'm intrigued with the idea that in the future a psychiatrist or neurologist might pull out their pad and instead of writing down a drug, writes down a tablet game times two months, and uses that as a therapy, as a digital medicine," he says.

Horizon: Are Video games Really That Bad? will be shown at 16 September at 20:00 BST on BBC Two and will be on iPlayer afterwards.

Lenovo has released a whole new line of its Yoga series of ultrabooks. We had a look at theLenovo Yoga 3 Pro and while it was impressive in terms of display and design, the battery life is where we found its biggest weakness. This time around we have the Lenovo Yoga 3 (14 inch), which has more powerful internal specs as compared to the Yoga 3 Pro, but will it be what the Yoga 3 Pro couldn’t, with a better battery life? Let us find out.

Build and Design: 8/10



Considering the fact that the Lenovo Yoga 3 14 belongs to the Yoga family, the laptop offers you the laptop, tent, tablet and stand modes as the hinge lets you rotate the display all the way back. The laptop has a lovely rubbery finish on the top flap and the base, which gives a good grip on the laptop when you hold it. It is 18.3mm thick and weighs around 1.6kg which is reasonably good for a laptop with a powerful processor and discrete graphics solution.



The Yoga 3 has a silver coloured top and base whereas on opening you will get a palm rest with a black brush-metal finish. The hinge mechanism is very good although not as impressive looking as the Yoga 3 Pro, which employed a different kind of design there.



Coming to the edge of the laptop, on the right hand side you have (from the top) a USB 3.0 port, a mini HDMI port, volume rocker buttons, auto-rotate switch, reset button, power standby button and a power indicator. On the left hand side there is the power port, USB 3.0 port, an audio jack and an SD card slot. At the base of the monitor, you have the air vents as unlike the Yoga 3 Pro, the Yoga 3 does not have a fanless design.

Keyboard and Trackpad: 8/10



With the Yoga 3 14, you get a 6-row chiclet keyboard, with the top row having multimedia function keys as default. We would have liked the regular functions keys to be default though. Lenovo keyboards have been a pleasure to use and this one does not disappoint either. The keyboard is backlit and you can turn off the backlight when not needed. For someone used to the full keyboard, the placement of the Home/End and Page up/Page down buttons can take some time getting used to.

The buttonless trackpad is located in the centre and it has an audible click. It works with touch responses and supports Windows 8 gestures as well as pinch to zoom, multi-finger scrolling and so on.

Features: 8/10

Lenovo Yoga 3 14 comes with a 14-inch full HD display and houses the Intel Core i7-5500U processor. The Core i7-5500U belongs to the U-series of feature rich Ultrabook processors which were released earlier this year. The processor is clocked at 2.4GHz with the turbo frequency going to 3GHz. It is a dual-core hyper-threaded processor and houses the integrated Intel HD 5500 graphics solution. The processor is paired with 8GB of RAM. The laptop also comes with Nvidia GeFore 940M discrete graphics solution as well. It houses 256GB of SSD flash storage.



Windows 8.1 is pre-installed on the laptop. There are a lot of software flourishes on the Lenovo Yoga 3. For starters there is the Harmony settings app, which can be set to change display settings depending on the mode you set your Yoga 3 14 in. For instance, if you switch to a reading mode, the display gets a warm tinge to reduce strain on your eyes. ‘My Favourites’, section makes most frequently used apps easier to find. You also have certain applications which are Harmony compatible and you can optimise settings for the same.



The Yoga 3 14 features JBL speakers which are sufficiently loud and clear for most use cases. Apart from this you also get utilities such as McAfee Livesafe, Amazon Kindle, Evernote, Lenovo Photo Master among others, pre-installed.

Display: 7/10

Lenovo Yoga 3 14 as the name implies sports a 14-inch display with a full HD resolution. While this may not be as high res as the QuadHD+ resolution we saw on the Yoga 3 Pro, the full HD resolution does looks quite good. The glossy display ensures that colours appear vibrant, although you many not want to have a light on directly behind you as the surface is quite reflective. The power saving mode is a bit too dim for our liking.



In the Lagom.nl tests, we got excellent results with the Black level test and the White saturation test. In the gradient test, we did notice a tiny among of banding although there was no colour tingeing. In the pixel walk test, there was no flickering of the display. Video viewing experience is quite good on the display as well, specially with HD and full HD resolution videos.

Performance: 7.5/10



Battery Life: 7.5/10



The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro was a disappointment when it came to battery life. The Lenovo Yoga 3 (14-inch) gives a much better output in comparison. While the High performance mode gave around 3 hours 55 mins in the PC Mark 8 battery life test, we managed to get around 7 hours 21 mins in the balanced mode, a good two hours over the Yoga 3 Pro. For a regular workday, these are good numbers. Unless you are gaming or constantly doing some heavy lifting work with the Yoga 3, you can easily get close to 10 hours of on-screen time which is good enough for most users.

Verdict and Price in India

The Lenovo Yoga 3 14-inch model is priced at Rs 86,990 which may seem like a high price. But the appealing factors for this laptop include the slim form factor and light weight, which will come at a premium. This immediately makes it a laptop to consider for business as well as mainstream users. The battery life is good enough to last you through an entire work day and the processor is powerful enough to let you do things beyond just regular web surfing and watching videos.

The discrete graphics solution is good for playing casual games, as heavy games such asMetro: Last Light gave poor frame rates such as 18FPS for HD resolution at Low preset. If gaming is what you are looking at, there are much better options from Asus such as the ROG G551JK which is around Rs 83,000 but comes with 15.6-inch full HD display, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD and so on. Of course, this is not a laptop you can carry around everyday without feeling the pain on the back.

So it all boils down to what use case you are looking at. If you are a business user – by all means the Lenovo Yoga 3 14-inch makes a lot of sense if you want more variety than what’s offered by the ThinkPad series. If you want to save money and are not sold on the 2-in-1 proposition, then the ThinkPad Edge series is what you should be looking at.

Video calling and messaging platform Skype has started to roll out its own version of emojis for its applications across Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. This new feature called Mojibrings in short moments from film segments from your movies and TV shows in a GIF form, which can be sent as messages to your friends.


Skype introduces movie-based emojis called Mojis across platforms

Skype has collaborated with famous movie studios such as Universal Studios, Disney Muppets, BBC among others for its Moji collection. According to Skype, the first Moji release will have content from movies such as Despicable Me, Jurassic Park, The Muppets and so on.

To send a Moji, you need to open the emoticon picker or tap on the J button. You can then browse through sections such as movies, TV shows or expressions and preview the Moji before sharing it with your friends.




The GIFs will also be accompanied by a link to the TV show or movie which can then bepurchased or rented from the Windows Store. The details and links will be visible only after the person you’ve sent the Moji to has played the clip.

It is strange to not see Windows Phone 8 OS on the list of platforms supporting Moji. Maybe Windows will add in support directly on Windows 10 Mobile OS which is expected to come out in October. According to a Microsoft representative quoted by VentureBeat, “Windows Phone continues to be an important investment for Microsoft, we plan on releasing Skype Mojis to this platform in the future.”
