How do you restore the Yahoo Search Engine functions after it was affected by a virus ?
I want to know how the Yahoo Search Engine can be restored to normal when a spyware and/or other viruses affected the system. I have been downloading some anti-spyware programs, such as Spybot, to reverse the effects and I want to know what applications I can used to turn the search engine back to normal. I have my Yahoo Search Engine results mixed with different web addresses. Thanks.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago and i fixed it without installing anything. It's a virus called "go.google". I tried installing stuff and still didn't work. The next steps worked for me so I guess this is the best way.
Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices.
Scroll down to “Non-plug and Play Drivers” and click the plus icon to open those drivers.
Then search for “TDSSserv.sys”
Right click on it, and select “Disable”
Note: If you select Uninstall, it will install itself again when you reboot the system, so DON’T select Uninstall.
Restart your pc.
You can now update your Antirus/Malware/Rootkit softwares and the go.google rubbish will stop.
Hope this helps as much as it helped me. That virus is REALLY annoying. = )
How are the search suggestions on Yahoo’s search engine compiled?
How are the search suggestions on Yahoo’s search engine compiled? I need to know because I am the only person in the country with my name and my name is a search suggestion. This is why I am curious.
Yahoo's search engine is the weirdest one out there, its crawler seems to just take a random sample from the pages out there and a combination of AI to create a valid results page. for anti search engine bombing reasons, they don't say to much about how their search engine works.
How do web design copyrights work?
How do web design copyrights work? Are they copyrighted at all? Am I allowed to copy ones buttons off their website? Or their layout or colour scheme? Obviously I wouldn’t copy it exactly. What about modifying it some what? Thanks in advance guys.
you can copy the color scheme but you cannot use any of thier pictures including buttons. You could design a similar button of course.
By the way, whether it says copyright or not, you cannot use thier images
Where can I find a good web design affiliate program?
I am not good at web design but would still like to offer web design services. Do you know of any companies that offer a commission per sale for a website? I do not want to create a website and have an affiliate link, I would rather go to local businesses and see if they are interested in having a website created for them.
So basically I go to a business, see if they want a website. If they do, somehow I can refer them to a company and make a certain amount per sale.
Do you have any companies in mind?
Great question!
I do a bit of freelancing myself, and actually have referred a few businesses to a local web design firm here in Oregon. They do work nationally, and paid me a 10% finders fee. They’re called Alphabetix. Check them out!
What are the correct possible resolutions and magnifications of an SEM and TEM electron microscope?
I am finding different figures everywhere!
In one revision book it says
SEM mag.=x100,000 res.=0.1nm
TEM mag.=x500,000 res.=0.1nm
others say over x1000000
and 0.005um
im so confusedd!!
and i have to learn the correct ones!!
thanks
I am doing a-level biology and i had this problem too. my teacher said in the exam to use these figures
both have a resolution of 0.1nm
magnification of TEM = x500,000
magnification of SEM = x100,000
What's the difference between SEM and TEM microscopes?
A SEM (scanning electron microscope) images using the electrons reflected from a specimen. A TEM (transmission electron microscope) images using the electrons that pass through it.
The image from an SEM thus looks somewhat like a normal photo (we're used to imaging using the light reflected from objects). However, a TEM image takes a bit more interpretation as we're not used to seeing images of light that's passed through things - think of silhouettes or slide projectors…
I want to get started in SEO where do I start. Can anyone point me in the right direction.?
I'm currently a marketing major in college. I'm want to get started in Internet marketing, SEO, and SEM. I've been reading everything I can of those subjects, plus google analytic.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) now-a-days covers quite a range of items that your website will need.
First of all there is no single item that will do the trick. Its a combination of of various pieces to the puzzle. Part of it lies within your website and the other part you can call an "outreach" program by getting your links onto other websites (e.g. blogs, social bookmarks, forums, press releases, etc)
Outside of that you also are missing a DocType in your HTML code. Take a look here:

Web Page Design Tool
If you are looking for a web page design tool then there are a few things you will need figure out, such as:
How experienced you are in web page design
What is the purpose of the web page you’ll be designing
How detailed will your page need to be
How experienced you are using HTML editors
What kind of a budget are you working with
How experienced you are in web page design? I ask this because some web page design tools are built for the novice while others are built for the experienced. As you might imagine a web page design tool for the more experienced will have many more features than those that are created for the beginning web page designer.
If you are new to designing a web page then they are many things you will need to learn about how a web page is laid out and the things you can do with a web page. My suggestion for the novice is to find a web page design tool that provides step by step instructions and allows you to point and click to design your web page.
Next we have to decide why we are building a web page. Though this seems like a silly question it makes a difference in whether we can use a simple web page design tool or if we need one with more tools and options. Most of the web page design tools provided by many of the internet service providers are find for a simple profile type web page, but if you are going to use your web page to make money over the internet then you will need a web page design tool that is a bit more sophisticated.
That brings us to our next point, how detailed will our web page need to be. Again, if you are just starting out and you don’t have a whole lot going on your page then you can use a very simple web page design tool versus a complicated HTML editor.
If you don’t have much experience then you will want to find a web page design tool that is simple to use yet will allow you to create a professional looking page. Most web page design tool or HTML editors will require a basic knowledge of HTML code and how to lay out a web page, if you are brand knew to building a web page then you’re going to have to either spend some time studying HTML code or find a step by step type web page design tool. In the beginning I would suggest starting off with the simpler web page design tool then work your way into the more complex ones after you have some experience building web pages.
Cost is another issue to consider. A web page design tool price will range from free to a few hundred dollars. A warning about free web page design tools, most of the ones you find will have many limitations and you will soon find yourself looking from a new program. But there is also no reason to go out and purchase the most expensive web page design tool out there. You can find a number of them at a very reasonable price that will do everything you will need to do.
Remember, when choosing a web page design tool think about how much help you will need, how detailed your web page will be and what your budget is. Happy Web Page Designing.

Seo Ethics ~ Is There Such A Thing?
Everyone knows how hard it is to make a business known to people. Businessmen usually employ a lot of advertising strategies just so that they can boost their sales a bit.
The usual ways through which a person can advertise is television, radio, magazines, billboards, letters, and newspapers. But now, there’s a whole new playing field on the internet. Be the master of this new playing field and you’ll soon be rolling in riches.
The internet is like the outer space for business men. It’s the final frontier. Conquer it and you’ll have conquered your business. Millions and millions of people log on every single day. This means that your business ads have the potential to be seen by millions of people. Imagine the amount of advertising you’ll get and also the profit that goes along with it.
— Fighting for Space in the Internet —
But this “final frontier” is so very different from outer space. For one thing, there won’t be just two competitors like there were only Russia and America to fight over space back then. The internet is an entirely different ball game. For one, the net is saturated with people. Even the most bizarre businesses can have competition. And because of this, getting your website properly advertised has become quite hard.
However, even if it is extremely difficult to become popular in the internet, it’s a hurdle that you’ll just have to jump over because there’s this huge pot of gold waiting at the other end. Sometimes, you just need a little nudge to get started. This is where SEO comes in.
— The Value of SEO —
First, let’s find out how customers get to your site. To find something, you would type a keyword on the search bar and then wait for the results to come up. The first name on the list is usually the website that best fits your keyword. This website is also the website with the most amount of traffic, and consequently, the most amount of advertising.
SEO professionals have one mission: to push you up to that pedestal… that coveted number one spot on the list of search results. To do this, they “buff up” your site so that it’ll be easier for your potential customers to find. And by “buffing up”, I mean that they fill your site with the necessary keywords, the necessary information, and they might even make your site look prettier so that it’ll be more pleasing to your customers.
For example, if you sell lobsters, they’ll fill your site with articles related to lobsters. They’ll put articles like “Lobsters for Sale” or “Delicious Lobsters” or even “Green Lobsters”. They’ll put in anything that your potential customers can possibly type into the search bar, as long as it’s related to your business.
— White Hat SEO versus Black Hat SEO —
But the thing is, sometimes SEO professionals can step over the fine line between ethical and unethical SEO. And while unethical or “black hat” SEO can benefit your site for some time, it can be quite harmful in the long run. SEO’s become unethical when they put articles which aren’t really related to the keyword, but are related to your business.
For example, someone is searching for information about chocolates. He finds a link, clicks on it, and to his surprise, he is redirected to a site about lobsters. Wouldn’t that be annoying? However, this is just something someone practicing “black hat” SEO will do.
Just remember, even if such a practice may increase traffic to your site, chances are, these visitors you get through such a scheme wouldn’t even bother to look at the contents of your site. Where’s the profit in that?
Besides, it’s not all about profit. People who avail of the service of these unethical SEO professionals are actually disrespecting their fellow men. So always remember, there is such a thing as ethical SEO!
