Klif.sys killer…

Recently I keep on getting the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) with hunt me every times and days.. so I do some googling for the klif.sys problem.. I found out several website that discuss about it.. that is good thing.. cause now I know that Im not alone in this world :p..

So more reading been apply and I found out that the Klif.sys is actually a [ Kaspersky antivirus ] process but this process wont be visible at [ Task Manager ] it a background process [ I believe it visible at – services – area ]

After reading all the related content.. I found out that there seem to be other type of problem that this Klif.sys can cause such as:

  • Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD)
  • Driver Local Denial of Service Vulnerability
  • Memory problem
    • Problem encounter after user upgrade/add new RAM

Therefore I have list down all the necessary step that probably can fix this problem.. there are:

  • [ open Kaspersky ] – [ settings ] – [ compatibility – tick compatibility with application self-defense ] – reboot pc
  • Download new klif.sys from kaspersky forum.. [ which i cant seem to find where L.. ]
  • Reinstall kaspersky – my version is 7.0.1.325 ( English )

So far I have done the 1st and the 3rd step.. but I skip the 2nd part :P .. so hopefully it will be able to fix this problem.. if not then.. the only solution that I can think of is to install other antivirus :( ..

How to WiFi your existing streamyx setup

setup

Figure 1: My WiFi Setup

If you have the same problem as mine please read this on..

I was happy using my streamyx alone for almost 2 years. Suddenly somebody in my family bought a laptop and wishes to share my streamyx since she just join a college. At the beginning I thought I’ll just pull another Ethernet wire to the laptop and that settled the problem. But this is not the case.. because she likes to hibernate in her room with the laptop… so a solution as above has to be implemented.

Method

1. Buy a WiFi router such as D-link, Linksys or other brand..

2. Connect as figure 1 above

3. Configure the WiFi router

4. Test and off you go

That’s all.. isn’t it easy… :) enjoy..

Super-Seeding with Azureus

Super-Seeding is an option within Azureus and some other clients, this option is disabled by default. When enabled, the Super-Seeding service will automaticaly work if there’s less than one complete copy of the file in the swarm (apart from the seeder) and automatically stops when there’s a complete copy of the file in the swarm even if this completed copy is distributed among many leechers… In some FAQs, it’s a good practice to limit the connection to the Super-Seeded file to 3 connections… Let’s start with an example to make it easier: Suppose you have a 10 MB file, this file is composed of pieces, each piece is 1 MB… In normal seeding, you send the leecher the piece it asks for regardless its availability at other peers, you just keep on sending data to whoever asks for it…. In Super-Seeding mode, each peer is assigned a piece, this peer becomes responsible of providing this piece to other peers & tho original seeder won’t send this piece again to any other peer for sometime…. Doing this increases the available pieces to peers, allowing them to download from each other while the original seeder provides them with new pieces…

Furthermore, Azureus gives priority to leechers with higher upload rates. Super-Seeding (accordind to Azureus FAQ): is a feature that allows seeders who are the only seed in the swarm to solely seed pieces that are found nowhere else in the swarm, works something like this: the Super-Seeding client pretends not to be a seed, but pretends to be a peer with an incomplete file. Then the client shares with one peer only, usually the one with the fastest upload to others. And that peer can then share that piece with the swarm. This allows the Super-Seeding client to maximise the efficiency of the upload by only sharing those pieces nobody else has. And because of some other things about the behaviour of Super-Seeding, this function does not work at all well in swarms with one peer and one seed only. So it is only good when the seeder is the only seed, and there are more than 2 peers. Note that Azureus –as a program- considers a completely downloaded file as a seed & a non-completed yet as a peer.

How to normalized MP3 volume — Pilot version

Have you ever encountered a problem with MP3 audio volume that just not the same. Sometime you always need to turn up the volume or lower the volume when new song is played. Is it great if there is a way to normalized the volume so that it will always be the same volume for all the MP3 song that you have.. Well fear not I found a great solution for it..

Remote control your torrents with uTorrent’s WebUI


webui-head.pngYou’re a BitTorrent freak, so why should you let a little thing like being away from your home computer stop you from getting your fix? Using the popular, free uTorrent client, you can control your BT downloads from anywhere using a full-featured web interface.

With uTorrent’s WebUI, you can add, remove, and manage the downloads you’ve got running at home no matter where you are. Hit the jump and I’ll show you how to get it all set up.

NOTE: uTorrent is Windows-only, but you can access and control uTorrent via the WebUI using virtually any browser on any platform (except for IE6, that is, which “is not supported and never will be”).

Set up WebUI on your home computer

First, you’ll need to grab a copy of uTorrent if you don’t already have it. It’s a standalone executable, so just put it wherever you like, give it a run, and let’s get started.

Next you’ve got to grab the WebUI files (the first link in the post). Here’s a direct link that should work for now, but I can’t guarantee it’ll always be the latest, so you might want to check the first link to make sure.

The file you’ve downloaded should be called something like webui_v0.310_beta_2.rar. The .rar extension is an archive, so use your favorite unzipping program (like Lifehacker favorite 7-Zip) to get to the goods inside.

copy-webui-zip.pngInside, you should see a zip file named webui.zip. You need to copy this file to your uTorrent application data directory, so hit Windows-R to bring up your Windows run box and paste in %AppData%\uTorrent, then hit Enter. Now just drag the webui.zip file into the Explorer window that just popped up.

enable-webui.pngSimple so far, right? Now you need to open up uTorrent and go to Options -> Preferences, then expand the Advanced tab and click on Web UI. Tick the box labeled Enable Web Interface, and enter in a username and password (it can be whatever you want).

As you can see from the screenshot, you can also set up a different port for the WebUI to listen for connections, but since the default uses the already-forwarded BitTorrent port, it’ll probably be easiest to just stick with the defaults. If none of what I just said makes any sense to you, don’t worry about it – just forge ahead.

Now just hit Apply and you should be set up. However, before you close the uTorrent Preferences, go to Connection and take note of the Listening port (see screenshot below). You’ll need this in a bit.

Take the WebUI for a test drive

http://lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2007/05/utorrent-webui-thumb.pngNow that you’ve got the uTorrent WebUI all set up on your home computer, test it out on the same computer by directing your browser to http://localhost:port/gui/ where you replace ‘port’ with the port number you copied down above. If all goes well, you’ll be prompted for a username/password. Enter in the credentials you set up above and voila – the familiar uTorrent interface should load into your browser. For a larger example, click the screenshot above.

add-torrent.pngPlay around with the interface to get an idea of what you can do. The WebUI doesn’t offer every feature of your desktop version, but it lets you tackle most of the same features, most notably the ability to start new downloads by either uploading a .torrent file or by entering the address of a torrent URL. You can also start, stop, and remove torrents, tweak bandwidth settings for your torrents, or tweak your uTorrent settings. If you’ve spent much time playing with uTorrent on your desktop, the WebUI is nearly identical, and surprisingly responsive.

Access uTorrent from anywhere

Of course, the whole point of the WebUI is to allow you to access the WebUI interface from any computer connected to the internet. To get connected from another computer, all you need to know is the proper URL and port. If you’re accessing the WebUI from another computer, you can’t use the localhost address we used above, so you’ll need to connect using your IP address. Since your IP address can change on you, and since remembering a string of numbers can be difficult, I’d recommend that you assign a domain name to your home computer. That will allow you to get to your WebUI from any computer by entering an address like http://mywebui.homeip.net:portnumber/gui. Handy, huh?

If you’d rather not set up a domain name, you can quickly grab your host computer’s external IP address from a site like WhatIsMyIP and just hope it doesn’t change. Just swap the IP address for localhost in your URL. Just remember that in any case, you need to have uTorrent running on your home computer in order to access it via the WebUI.

But wait, there’s more! You can also install and set up the uTorrent WebUI Firefox extension, which provides a live update of your uTorrent download/upload speeds in your Firefox statusbar. Clicking the uTorrent status bar will open the WebUI in Firefox’s sidebar. If you need help setting up the extension, TorrentFreak’s guide should help.

And that’s it. Get downloading, folks! — Adam Pash
