There is nothing more frustrating for the honest computer user than receiving the error message in Windows 7 stating that “This Copy Of Windows Is Not Genuine.” Fortunately, a clever programmer has created a tool called removeWAT that addresses issues with Windows Activation Technologies. Windows Activation Technologies is a Microsoft licensing tool that helps prevent against software counterfeiting. Microsoft has identified software counterfeiting as being a huge risk to end users as counterfeit software frequently comes bundled with malware that could be used to steal confidential data. Needless to say, it is important for computer users to always use properly licensed software.

I frequently get asked the question; “is BitTorrent safe to use?” This is a rather difficult question to answer because on one hand, using a high quality and known to be safe BitTorrent client such as Vuze to download legitimate files and software is perfectly fine.

I am going to show you how to configure Vuze in order to help you remain safe while using BitTorrent.

If you own a small business there’s a good chance that you have a website that you use to advertise and promote your business services. As such, you probably already know who your web designer is and already have a good working relationship with that person. You may not however know who is hosting your website or who your registrant is. Not knowing this information could result in your website becoming unavailable or worse yet, your website could even expire without your knowledge and someone else could legally buy it right under your nose!
