CCleaner

CCleaner is the ideal tool to erase all traces of your e-visits and file openings from your e-mails from your temporary folders. Your PC is like an unsung hero you continue to flog without giving a thought to its increasing burden of useless debris. Indeed, it tends to accumulate many un-used files and applications. Imagine a room that has not been cleared since ages. Your work space would be totally crammed up. The same happens to your PC as the silent workhorse gets slower with increasing ‘junk-burden’. CCleaner (formerly Crap Cleaner) is a great utility that quietly cleans unused and temporary files from your system, without hampering your work. The inbuilt registry scanner removes old and unused entries, including file extensions, ActiveX Controls, uninstallers, shared DLLs, fonts, help files, application paths, icons, and invalid shortcuts. A useful system optimization and privacy tool, CCleaner enables your Windows to run faster and more efficiently, and also frees up valuable hard disk space. An extremely light download, CCleaner gets installed in less than a minute and you need not even restart the computer.

CCleaner is a free diagnostic tools for windows with a clean interface. Its fast scanning capacity is really helpful and you can choose which parts of your PC to clean and how to clean it too. CCleaner is known to detect hidden corrupt files in a computer, even those you could never find in your hard disc using normal search and scan functions. There is also a built-in registry scanner which identifies possible problems in the registry and fixes them. CCleaner can even back up your Registry before clean up, in case it accidentally removes a crucial component. Rather than entering Control Panel to use the Add / Remove Programs option, simply choose the programs to be removed and CCleaner does the rest.

CCleaner includes an optional Yahoo toolbar that you may involutarily choose to install along with the program, if you are not cautious enough. Installing this toolbar could trigger alerts from certain anti-spyware. Moreover, the registry scanning function of CCleaner is not deep enough and the software lacks a secure file shredder as well. Also, CCleaner does not support a large number of extraneous programs (as do some competitive utilities).

Overall, CCleaner is a good application, though it is still not ready for Windows Vista. An efficient tool, it is a must for all Windows users, and even though it is a freeware, it has no adware or spyware. All in all, CCleaner a great tonic for your computer. As it clearly shows what has been cleaned, you are re-assured that it will not delete valuable stuff.

aVira Antivir

AntiVir Personal is a Personal Edition Premium Security Protection from Viruses, Worms, and Trojans. Basically it is like a nasty little shot geared towards those ugly germs attacking your computer.

There are a few pros to the AntiVir Personal one of course is the fact that it is free, while another Pro is the actual file size being only a little over 7MB means you wont have to spend all day downloading it. Some of the great features also give it another Pro rating such as Adware and Spyware detection and protection, updating itself so you don’t have to worry about it. An integrated POP3 scanner for safer web playing, a download server, and a user-friendly graphic interface, the ability to scan of course and did I mention it’s free? All of this means that what ever it finds the program will take care of it.

Of course you will find cons to everything these days, from what shoes to wear to which program to use. And to be fair I am including the cons to this program as well. Some have complained that the update process was very slow even using dialup, and another mentioned that the program installed a Trojan in their computer. All though to be fair on this part many anti-virus programs detect a Trojan or Virus in other programs even the creators of the programs tell you that one may detect the other as a threat. While others mentioned that it found a Trojan and then couldn’t get rid of it, and I hate to say it but this is sometimes the case and no matter what program you use hackers and virus creators are always looking for the next one that no body can get rid of. This is why you download only from a place you trust.
When looking for a free anti-virus program you have to look at what you are getting and what you are paying for. Not all of the free programs do the same thing and not all are created equal. If you bought your computer new then you should have gotten restore disk and if not then buy some. There will always be something bigger and more dangerous to your computer out there so just be careful. For an over all rating of the AntiVir Personal I have to give it a 7.5 the ease of use is a little different than the other guys but sit does what it says it will do.

Developer's descrition:
Professional protection against viruses and malware, adware, Spyware, Phising. Realtime scanning of all files through On-Access Guard. Profile-based On-Demand scans for individually defined scan-jobs. Direct scanning of files or folders directly from Windows Explorer. Pop 3 based MailScanner. Quarantine management to securely lock suspicious files. Scheduling of routine jobs such as updates and scans. Full-fledged reporting system. Direct online access to detailed descriptions for every detected virus. Standard and expert configuration for individually defined configurations. Easy to use through user-friendly control center. that lets you control the program from just one central place: Activate/deactivate modules; do updates; renew your licence; direct configuration of modules. Very fast performance with very low memory footprint. Very high detection rate. Very fast updates through single file update and incremental updates of Virus Definition. Licence Manager to easily licence the program.

Vista Transformation Pack

Vista Transformation Pack - with their slick user interfaces and smart icons - almost always look and feel better than previous versions. Windows Vista too takes a quantum leap over older Windows XP or Windows 2003. People simply love Vista's new Aero theme and its intelligent utilities with friendly sidebars and widgets. But if you don’t want to buy Vista or take time to get used to it, you can still enjoy some of its most appealing features thanks to the Windows Vista Transformation Pack. This easy to use software instantly transforms your Windows XP / 2003 into a more visually appealing interface. Windows Vista Transformation Pack (WVTP) is a great one stop shop install for a complete makeover of your Windows XP. It takes minimal disk space, hence it will not harm your PC performance.

If you wish to continue taking advantage of XP’s proven stability and its widespread accessibility, yet you don’t want to miss out the Vista feel, WVTP is your free ticket to enjoy the best of both Windows. If, on the other hand, you are very much keen on adopting Vista but you need time to adapt to it, WVTP acts like a trial so you can get used to the Vista way. A ‘Vista-ized’ version of your dependable XP would be characterized by futuristic looking:

• Boot screen
• Welcome Screen / Logon Screen
• Desktops and file icons
• Toolbar icons
• Progress Dialogs
• Sounds scheme
• System Tray icons
• Wallpapers
• Windows Media Files Skins
• Clock

It is only natural to get addicted to your current user interfaces and icons. Changes do take time to seep in. You may initially feel at a loss when WVTP rearranges your Windows system files and the display of your icons. Moreover, you should bear in mind that WVTP does not change the core functionality of your Windows but merely the visual aspect of it. If you anticipate drastic changes (positive changes, of course) or a boost in performance, you will be disappointed. WVTP barely goes beyond the looks.

WVTP does give you a detailed warning at the time of installation. You can even see it changing the XP components, so you can always choose to quit installation and the process will be reversed. Ideally, you should create a system restore point before installing WVTP, even though such packs are usually harmless. All in all, taking the trouble of downloading and installing the free Windows Vista Transformation Pack is worth the Vista experience.

Lyric Song My Way

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
and more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more, much more than this
I did it my way.





Yes, there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed, and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
"Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way

You can sing this song with download file in my way

Mengapa Kontrak itu Penting?

Mengapa kontrak kerja itu penting? Apa yang harus diperhatikan dalam kontrak kerja? Sebelum mengoreskan tanda tangan pada sebuah Surat Perjanjian/Kontrak.(Sumber: Majalah Cosmopolitan)


Pengikat Anda Dengan Perusahaan


Pada dasarnya kontrak kerja adalah dokumen atau perjanjian tertulis antara perusahaan dengan karyawan. Dalam kontrak kerja tertulis hak dan kewajiban masing-masing pihak. Dokumen resmi ini diangap sebagai bukti ikatan antara karyawan dengan perusahaan, yang menyangkut perlindungan terhadap hak-hak karyawan. Lebih dari itu, yang paling penting, kontrak kerja juga memperlihatkan kewajiban yang harus Anda berikan kepada perusahaan.

Bentuk kontrak kerja sangat beragam, tergantung dari perusahaan masing-masing. Selain kontrak kerja, ada juga yang disebut confirmation letter, Confirmation letter atau surat pengantar yang punya kedudukan yang sama dengan kontrak kerja. Meskipun terlihat singkat, Anda tetap harus membacanya dengan teliti. Pastikan hak dan tanggung jawab Anda tertulis secara terperinci. Jika dalam confirmation letter tidak disebutkan job descriptions yang jelas, Anda tidak bisa menuntut apa-apa jika kelak terjadi perubahan.

Sebaiknya Anda membaca dengan hati-hati setiap kalimat dalam kontrak kerja. Terutama hal-hal yang menyangkut tugas dan tanggung jawab professional. Saat menandatangani dokumen ini, berarti anda setuju ‘mengikatkan diri’ dengan perusahaan. Jadi pahami juga tata tertib perusahaan dengan benar, agar anda tak mendapat kesulitan di kemudian hari.

Biasanya kontrak erja dibuat dalam 2 eksemplar, bisa lebih. Kontrak kerja ditandatangani oleh kedua belah pihak . Anda ajan menerima satu berkas. Dokumen ini harus disimpan dengan baik karena merupakan bukti tertulis bagi anda.

Yang Tersurat Dalam Kontrak Kerja

“Bentuk kontrak kerja berbeda antara perusahaan satu dengan perusahaan lain, tetapi meskipun demikian, ada beberapa hal pokok yang ada di dalamnya yang masing-masing terdapat pada sebuah Surat Perjanjian/Kontrak yaitu sebagai berikut.

1. Pengangkatan. Sudah jelas, dalam kontrak kerja harus tertulis jabatan dan sebutan yang akan anda pangku. Setelah itu, tertulis rincian tugas dan tanggung jawab posisi tersebut. Perhatikan job descriptions baik-baik. Jangan sampai saat sudah aktif bekerja, Anda mengeluh karena dibebani pekerjaan yang ‘tak sesuai dengan job descriptions’.

2. Imbalan atas jasa. Ini istilah keren dari gaji. Pastikan bilangan gaji yang diterima tertulis dengan jelas.Hindari persoalan di kemudian hari hanya karena hanya karena ada beda jumlah rupiah dalam kontrak dan kenyataannya. Bahkan, jika ada perubahan karena kondisi khusus (misalnya masa percobaan), Anda harus tahu dengan pasti.

"Jika anda dijanjikan kenaikan gaji setelah selesai menjalani masa percobaan, sebaiknya semuanya tertulis dengan jelas dalam kontrak kerja,” lanjut Imaniati lagi. Selain itu, fringe benefit atau tunjangan juga harus disebutkan, jika ada.

3. Jadwal kerja. Dalam kontrak kerja akan tertulis jadwal kerja yang harus anda patuhi. Jam kerja resmi, termasuk jam lembur atau shift malam jika ada. Lokasi kerja juga harus disebutkan dengan jelas. Jangan sampai anda keluar dari pekerjaan , hanya gara-gara lebih banyak melewatkan waktu di pabrik di lokasi terpencil. Dan hampir tak pernah duduk di kantor yang ber-AC dingin!

4. Tata Tertib dan disiplin. Ini termasuk bagian yang amat penting. Perusahaan perlu menuliskan hal ini agar para karyawan tak masuk dan pulang kantor seenaknya. Pada beberapa perusahaan tertentu, tata tertib dan disiplin ini menyangkut informational proprietary yang harus anda jaga rapat-rapat dan tak boleh ’bocor’ ke tangan perusahaan lain. Apalagi ke perusahaan saingan.

5. Pemutusan hubungan kerja. Pasal ini membahas kondisi yang bisa menyebabkan seorang karyawan dipecat. Jika terjadi pelanggaran oleh karyawan, perusahaan berhak “ merumahkan” karyawannya itu. Karena itu, karyawan perlu tahu pasal-pasal itu.

Apa itu Surat Perjanjian/Kontrak

Kontrak atau surat perjanjian adalah suatu peristiwa dimana seorang atau satu pihak berjanji kepada seorang atau pihak lain atau dimana dua orang atau dua pihak itu saling berjanji untuk melaksanakan suatu hal (Pasal 1313 Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Perdata). Oleh karenanya, perjanjian itu berlaku sebagai suatu undang-undang bagi pihak yang saling mengikatkan diri, serta mengakibatkan timbulnya suatu hubungan antara dua orang atau dua pihak tersebut yang dinamakan perikatan.

Perjanjian itu menerbitkan suatu perikatan antara dua orang atau dua pihak yang membuatnya. Dalam bentuknya, perjanjian itu berupa suatu rangakaian perkataan yang mengandung janji-janji atau kesanggupan yang diucapkan atau ditulis.

Dengan demikian, hubungan antara perikatan dan perjanjian adalah bahwa perjanjian itu menerbitkan perikatan. Perjanjian adalah salah satu sumber perikatan, disamping sumber-sumber lainnya. Suatu perjanjian juga dinamakan persetujuan, karena dua pihak itu setuju untuk melakukan sesuatu. Dapat dikatakan bahwa dua perkataan (“Perjanjian” dan “Persetujuan”) itu adalah sama artinya. Perkataan “Kontrak” lebih sempit karena ditunjukkan kepada perjanjian atau persetujuan yang tertulis.

Syarat Sahnya Suatu Surat Perjanjian/Kontrak
(Dasar: Pasal 1320 Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Perdata (Burgelijke Wetboek))
Untuk sahnya perjanjian-perjanjian diperlukan empat syarat:
1. Sepakat mereka yang mengikatkan dirinya;
2. Cakap untuk membuat suatu perjanjian;
3. Mengenai suatu hal tertentu;
4. Suatu sebab yang halal;

Pada syarat sahnya suatu Surat Perjanian/Kontrak di No. 1 dan 2 merupakan syarat subyektif yang apabila tidak terpenuhi maka suatu Perjanjian/Kontrak dapat dibatalkan dan syarat No. 3 dan 4 merupakan syarat obyektif yang apabila tidak terpenuhi maka suatu Perjanjian/Kontrak akan batal demi hukum.
