Hi. A guy I work with recommended to me a web-site called Black Viper. The
web-site I found is: http://www.blackviper.com/

Does anyone recommend this site or can anyone authenticate it's information?
I plan to check it out.

Thank you.

I haven't visited the site but looking at the name, it contains
the word "Black" and so by definition it must be a very bad site.
Anything black is generally treated as BAD in the western world.
For example: Black day, Black monday etc etc. Even black cat
brings bad luck if it crosses your path!

Ahemm, some of the people in this group whose ancestors are of African origin
might disagree with you on that one.

For that matter, Goths might also take exception.

Besides, I have black case (Coolermaster Elite) and I think it looks really
smart.

So there.

Seriously, blackviper is a hacking site.

Black Viper loves and cares for several cats. For me, that means good.

I recommend the site. Helpful info on cutting overheads and improving
system security and privacy.

Of course, there are others who attempt to reassure us with comparable
claims.

Who do you trust ?

I have visited it but can't say how much I have used it.

The value to me I found is that it is one place to to that lists most
general XP Services, a little about what the do, their installed
Properties (Enabled, Disabled, etc.) and may help you look at "all
these sercvices!" you might see running in XP and decide if you need
them running or can they be disabled. You still have to look at your
own situation and decide what to do but if you are just a home type
user, there are many services that start with XP that you may not
"need". I imagine they have other things I have not discovered
there. There are lots of areas that do not apply to me and they have
an active user forum for questions. Yes - it even has cats.

The more you can get rid of, the less will start with XP and the less
that will be running in your day to day activities. You can make
timing of boot times before and after changes to see if the change was
a good thing or if something doesn't work anymore you just undo it.
Fewer things loading and running equals more memory and CPU cycles for
me.

Conscientious research and sites like BV can help you get your system
down to zero startup items and zero non MS services and then you can
start picking at the rest of the leftover MS services. There are a
lot I don't use and never will, so they are now disabled. You can
always enable them if you want later. No two systems seem to be
identical though - one size does not ft all.

I would not say it is the gospel, but it may help you answer questions
like - just what is this service and do I really need it.

A fairly informative site. Worth a look. IMHO.

Yes, I can highly recommend it. He's been at this stuff since
"day 1" and knows his stuff. I went to the link you gave, just
to be certain it's not a knock-off, and it's not. The site's
revised since I was last there, but it's still the same guy &
same sort of offerings.

HTH,

Neat Sig: Just about as meaningful as you are once each post
you make is archived in Google for perpetuity. Why you'd want
to (c) that is beyond me!

As is your silliness on the blackviper web site. Since you
know not of which you speak, the right thing to do would be to
keep your own black-hole closed. Been a long time since I've
come across anyone believing black cats bring bad luck. You're
a strange dummy.

HTH,

Been using his info for years. Really helps to button down a Windows
operating system. Highly recommended. But first read, read, read!

I love the site and have used it a lot. Very useful.

Don't be dissuaded by the name.

I appriciate all the replys. I did check it out right after I posted.

I took a little info and there is more to go through.

I have looked at some other sites that people have recommended here. The
trouble I had was those configurations don't seem to have .exe extentions.
When I look in Task Manager under Processes tab: I see. exe files. On some
sites recommended to be from here: I can check out what the .exe files are or
where they may originate. Eg: If they are in C:WINDOWS/system32 leave them
alone. But I couldn't find anything about the configurations.

The best bet for me was to read all the configurations myself, and Manual
certain configs for programs I know, and I took a stab at a few that wern't
serious (afer a bit of reading). When I quickly checked the Black Viper
web-site I seemed to be in his Safe category. Based on some recommendations
on his site: I am doing it right. There are 2 configs that I need to look at
though, one being the .NET framework one.

My average processed dropped. Average is between 30-40. Usually lower 30's.
It was a lot more before. I have a bit more work to do.

I have been in msconfig too. Adjusting the start up in there and some of the
configurations has made my start-up much faster. I am surprised actually. And
less CPU lagging. Some programs are loading and performing faster. Some seems
slower or unaffected. But maybe I am paying attention too much.

I'm being careful. And yes, I am reading a lot.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllooooooottttttt......................

After being in msconfig tonight: I got a blue screen reset because of
turning off something for my video editing program. It happened 3 times.
So.......I just turned that and another music programs start-ups back on. But
that is another story. It might just be the video editing program since it is
known to do that in the older versions.

Thanks again.
