How To: Protect and Maintain your PC using Kingsoft PC Doctor

Even if your system is fully protected with the latest anti-virus and anti-spyware software, you may notice it slow down over time. Applications take longer to launch and Windows needs more time to boot up and shut down. The reason for this decrease in performance, is that normal Windows usage causes a build up of temporary files, registry entries and other "dead wood" that all results in the operating system not running as efficiently as it could.

Just like a car, all operating systems need a regular tune up to clear these temporary files, diagnose any potential issues and restore things to a more optimal state. This is even more the case with Windows. None of this is any indication of a malicious software infection - it just par for the course. A good system maintenance tool - such as Kingsoft PC Doctor - will do all the hard work for you, leaving you to sit back and watch it cleanse and restore your PC to its former glory.

Step-by-Step Instructions

• 1
  You can download Kingsoft PC Doctor by clicking the related download link for this article and then choosing Download Now. Once the file setup_multilang.exe has finished downloading, run it to begin the installation process and click the Install option when the Kingsoft PC Doctor install wizard appears.
• 2
  After installation, Kingsoft PC Doctor launches automatically and its functionality is available via a system tray icon. Kingsoft PC Doctor is designed to be left running constantly (so that it can monitor your system processes for issues) and eats up only a very small amount of system memory. A floating status bar just above the system tray area shows you exactly how much CPU and Memory resource is currently being used, so you can see at a glance if you have any issues in either of these areas. Double click the Kingsoft PC Doctor system tray icon to get started.
• 3
  Click the Quick Care button to perform a quick sweep of your system for common issues that affect performance. Kingsoft PC Doctor begins checking various cache, history and junk folders to see what can be cleaned out.
• 4
  Once the scan has been completed, the results are shown in a list. You can click the individual Clean and Optimize buttons in the results list, but it is easier to click the large Fix All button. Kingsoft PC Doctor will now remedy all the problems it detected and reported. You may need to close any running web-browsers to complete this step.
• 5
  Once this has been done, another set of results are shown - these should be much more green, indicating there are now no system optimisation issues present. You can perform another scan to make sure by clicking Rescan.
• 6
  Next, click the Cleaner tab to perform some more in-depth spring cleaning. In the Junk Cleaner tab, click the Scan button. There may be some areas that were not cleansed during the Quick Care scan (which is not comprehensive) and these will be picked up here. When the results are displayed, scroll through the list - not all areas are checked by default for cleaning - and tick the relevant boxes for any folders you want to clear out.
• 7
  Click the Clean button to proceed and Kingsoft PC Doctor will now empty all the selected folders in the list.
• 8
  Another area which is often commonly associated with slow performance is the registry. This is a database that stores all the configuration settings, file extensions and other details for all the programs you have installed. When you uninstall an application, it usually leaves behind many traces in the registry, and these build up over time, often causing a drop in performance. You can spring clean the registry by clicking the Registry Cleaner tab and then Scan. Kingsoft PC Doctor analyses the current status of your registry and looks for invalid entries that are no longer needed.
• 9
  Click Clean Now when the results are displayed and Kingsoft PC Doctor will optimise your registry. You should now find that your system performs a great deal better than it did before.

Tips & Advice

• It is recommended to update Kingsoft PC Doctor regularly, as improvements are constantly being made to make the application more efficient. When viewing the main interface, click the Update button to check for any new releases. If any are found, Kingsoft PC Doctor will download and install them automatically.

How to: Video streaming between PC and Android

Today’s smartphones, particularly those based on the Android platform, are media powerhouses, so it’s very likely that you have tons of photos and video clips you’d like to share with friends and family. But it can get pretty painful showing them off on your handset’s tiny screen. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could watch it on your laptop, desktop monitor or your large screen TV without having to transfer the files onto your PC? Getting a USB cable and hooking up your phone to your PC is tedious and time consuming. And what if you happen to be at a friend’s place and don’t have your USB cable with you? Moreover, you wouldn’t want to transfer your personal media onto someone else’s PC. In this workshop, we will show you how you can stream video, photos or music from your mobile phone directly on to a desktop PC or laptop. All you need is a simple free Android app called VLC Direct, a media playback application called VLC Media Player on your PC, and the two connected to the same network. Download VLC Direct for free from the Android Market. Download and install VLC on your PC from ‘www.videolan.org’. Connect the PC and the Android phone to a wireless router and you are ready to stream. Step 1: Start VLC Direct on your Android handheld. A small wizard will guide you through the process of configuring the video streaming necessities. Be careful because if youaccidentally quit the application or press the back button on your phone, VLC Direct will exit and not show you the wizard again. In this case, you can press the Menu button, go to ‘Settings’, and select the ‘Automatic Connection Wizard’ to re-initiate the wizard.

Step 2: Start your PC, connect it to a large screen LCD TV if you want to enjoy videos on a big screen. Start VLC Media Player on your PC. Click on ‘View | Add Interface | Web interface’ and leave VLC Media player as it is. Step 3: On the mobile phone screen, select the ‘Start’ button and the VLC Direct app will start scanning for the machine with VLC Media Player on your local network. Once that is done, you receive a toast message stating that it has found the player and the configurations have been set. You are now ready to stream your

 media files onto your PC instantly. Using the Android handset, you can sit back and
scroll through your list of videos, photos, or music files and watch play them back on the big screen. You can control the playback (stop, play, pause, forward or rewind) and volume controls too. What’s more, you can also pull up the list of media files stored on the PC (running the VLC Media Player) and play those. The VLC Direct interface includes playback control buttons, icons for videos and music on your phone,  monitor icon for listing files available on the remote PC and a VLC icon for a playlist. Towards the top-left of the screen, you will find an Android logo icon
(target), which is a toggle button that can be used to direct the video stream to your PC from your handheld or from the PC to the handheld. The screenshots here will explain these
buttons in detail. Streaming media from the PC to the Android phone is pretty
simple using the target button. Using this mode is beneficial as you don’t need to transcode or
convert your videos into a compatible format for your Android device.You can also save on
storage space on your phone by treating the PC as a media server. Streaming
from your PC to the Android device can also be convenient when someone elseis using the laptop and you’d like to access media content on it.
Note: In order to stream media files from a PC to your Android phone, youwill need to purchase the VLC Direct Pro version, which is available on the Android Market for Rs 164. The Free
version can stream seamlessly to a PC without any limit, but streaming from a PC to your phone is only allowed for a few minutes.
