USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION FOR VIDEO PLAYBACK | 4K HEVC 10bit | GPU DECODING GOOD or BAD ?

So as it seems that 4K is getting popular these days, but some people who have older computers may have some trouble playing 4K videos. Especially 10bit HEVC (x265) format. But the support for hardware decoding of HEVC 10 bit videos has been added few years ago. First of all lets see whether this hardware decoding is better than normal software(CPU) decoding compared with power. We won't be playing a game while watching a movie of course, at least not with a single monitor setup. So we can stop worrying about GPU usage going for 100% while watching a movie.

Remove Shortcut virus (USB pendrive virus) from infected PC

Learn an easy fix for the notorious  shortcut virus  that causes victim’s files on a removable drive or random computer volume to be replaced with shortcuts. The contemporary malware environment is predominantly composed of threats whose objectives fit strictly into a commercialization context. In other words, today’s malicious programs tend to be written in order to further provide profit to their authors in one form or another. Here are just a few illustrations: the different variants of ransomware encrypt one’s files and employ smart extortion techniques to exchange the data for Bitcoins; rogue security tools report imaginary viruses on a PC and insist on the victim purchasing the worthless license so that the purportedly detected items can be eradicated; adware extensions forcibly change users’ web browsing defaults in order to serve ads and get paid for this by the interested parties. It’s all about money. In this highly mercantile business framework, pests like the long-live
