Stardock BootSkin is a program that allows users to change their Windows boot screens. Unlike other programs that can change the Windows boot screens, BootSkin does so in a safe manner. It doesn’t patch the Windows kernel. Nor does it require the user to download replacement Windows kernels to do so.

The Vista default screen is black with a green progress bar. You can change that to any of a hundred different images called BootSkins. BootSkin Vista includes several to start with, while WinCustomize.com offers hundreds more to download.

For those of you who now use Facebook’s built-in IM as your primary choice for online chatting, you may be interested in this: Chit Chat, a desktop client for Facebook chat. Basically, it’s Facebook IM – and just Facebook IM – without the browser. The nice thing about Chit Chat (besides its tabbed interface for chatting with multiple folks at once) is its instant alert notification. Since this is desktop software, you can minimize the application out of your way but still get alerted to new messages as soon as they come through – even if you don’t have your web browser open to Facebook.com. Also, like most IM clients, Chit Chat saves your conversation history so you can pick up where you left off on your previous discussion. The software is a free download and works only on Windows PCs.

The most common question asked by not-so-informative net audience is the definition of a computer virus. I may say that a computer virus is a type of legitimate program. So what is that makes a virus stand apart from the rest?

In simple terms computer viruses are small software programs that are designed to spread from one computer to another and to interfere with computer operation.

A virus might corrupt or delete data on your computer, use your e-mail program to spread itself to other computers, or even erase everything on your hard disk.

Computer viruses are often spread by attachments in e-mail messages or instant messaging messages. That is why it is essential that you never open e-mail attachments unless you know who it’s from and you are expecting it. Viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files.
