12 Highly Useful Websites for Computer Technicians
A few weeks ago we mentioned the website Virustotal.com which is a website that scans a certain file for viruses using the databases of many different antivirus brands. This week, we will be listing many other websites that are handy to technicians.
HijackThis.de – HijackThis.de is a “Hijack This!” Log Analyser where you paste your Hijack This! logs into the website and it will tell you what is potentially malicous and what is safe.
Speedtest.net – Speedtest allows you to test the speed of your internet connection, choose multiple mirrors to test from and compare your results to other people in the area.
Ninite.com – An easy and automatic way to install mutliple applications on new computers at the click of a button.
WhatIsMyIP.com – Displays your public IP address, nothing more. Simple but useful.
LogMeIn.com – Log Me In is a service that allows you to login to remote computers from almost any location. Very easy to use and very powerful.
Trend House Call – A online virus scanner to scan your computer for viruses.
Driverguide.com – A site with a huge collection of drivers for all sorts of hardware.
RouterPasswords.com – Contains a list of the default passwords for various router models.
DLL-Files.com – Contains many different DLL’s which are available for download. Handy when an application is missing a certain DLL that is preventing it from running.
EServiceInfo.com – A large collection of Service manuals, electronic components datasheets and equipment schematics. Very useful when clients lose their manuals.
ProcessLibrary.com – A searchable list of Windows processes. Just enter the name of the process (for example, svchost.exe) and it will let you know whether it is malicious, safe or unneeded.
RetailMeNot.com: Computers – RetailMeNot is a place that lists shopping coupons (or codes) for other sites. There are often coupons like 10% off or free shipping from large retailers like Dell.com or Newegg.com
Spambox.us – This website creates a temporary email address for you and forwards any received emails to your regular email address. You can set the amount of time your temporary email address says active from from 30 mins to a year. This website is great for signing up to websites that you believe may spam you at some point, but need you to press a activation link sent to your signup email address.
If you know any other useful sites like this, drop us a comment.

http://www.IPCHICKEN.com Same as what is my IP, but easier to tell a customer over the phone. Plus, it gives you the Name Address as well. And, I like chickens!
I agree with Jason about IPCHICKEN.com. I use it all the time. There are also sites up there that I already use but I will have to check out the rest… HijackThis.de Driverguide.com RouterPasswords.com DLL-Files.com EServiceInfo.com Spambox.us
These look EXTREMELY useful.
I’ve created a web page that I keep on my USB key with the links to useful sites.
There are several nice additions here.
Thanks….
http://www.technibble.com is the website for me ;)
SpeedTest.net is great. Loving checking out internet speeds like that.
I added these to a tools folder! I already used them, but hadn’t compiled them yet. Thanks!!!
LogMeIn and SpeedTest are two sites I love using. I find them incredibly helpful in my line of work.
I find http://www.techsupportalert.com very useful. Like Technibble it focuses on freeware applications and includes reviews. It includes a tech website listing, how-tos and is a great resource.

LogMeIn is too pricey, Techinline Remote Desktop http://www.techinline.com is a good alternative at a reasonable price. Maybe not as many features, but gets the job done if you are looking for something fast and easy to use
For a chuckle check out http://www.moanmyip.com :)
Though I’m not a technician these tools are really very helpful for me.. I had used LogMeIn many times to help my friends..
has most if not all the bois setting and anything you want to know about it.

Looks like there are quite a few useful resources and tools and I love tools.
One of my favorites … (which ironically enough per the site are the same creators of Retailmenot) is Bugmenot.com for sites that require you to register and you don’t want to get spammed for eternity by them …
http://www.bugmenot.com
from the makers of retailmenot used for the purpose of not havng to signup to free services
As for coupons I use fatwallet.com albo slickdeals.net – really good sites.
Lots of wonderful sites are listed by all you techs. But to help the business of your business you folks might explore and use http://www.linkedin.com. It has groups like Yahoo groups, controlled access to businesses and people, is a business network not a social network. You can talk to people in your area of expertise, job hunt, client search, collaborate and think tank. You can be global or local and can set a personal network, your circle.
For troubleshooting with the Windows event log…
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/ee_advanced.aspx
It gives additional info and is free.
Another site that helps with this is:
http://www.eventid.net/
geekstogo.com
//there are buddies who like to help you with Hijackthis or combofix logs!
You just need to register once and tell them what happened. ;]
I don
There’s absolutely no reason not to use coupons. I’ve become very fond of them, especially lately with prices in the grocery skyrocketing. Why wouldn’t you use coupons, its like free money!
Great post man (or woman!)… Love your writing! Can’t wait to see more. Is there a subscribe feature here?
Very interesting read
mail2web.com – access any email provided by any email service provider by typing entire
email address and password. The main advantage is that you dont have to register in this site,
just type in your email address and email password (doesn’t matter, it could be any email like
yahoo mail, gmail or any mail provided by your email service provider). This site is very helpful
as you can access your email in case your email application like outlook, macmail or any other
mail applications are not able to retreive your mail.

I find the D-Link Emulator and LinkSys Emulator pages to be very handy.
How to speed up your computer
Most of People surf sites daily,and don’t care which should be visited,
when they felt their computer slow, they start worrying about it.
Five tips You must adapt
1: Use Anti virus and update daily (Norton is recommended)
2: Clean registry and cookies.
3: Uninstall idle softwares.
4: Clean your PC dust.
5: Open trusted sites.
If you feel it does not help improve speed, you may need more ram.
Try to download and save in other partition like E,D. Because C
Partition runs system.if you download in c partition it will impact on
PC speed.
5 matter you must avoid
1: Don’t open emails in junk or spam until you know it.
2: Don’t open every site you don’t know.
3: Don’t share your privacy with others
4: Don’t download software without scanning.
5: Don’t play every CD without scanning.

Logmein is very helpful!
Technibble is a must for me….indespensible.
I’m always looking for new ways to root out spyware.
Some of the software we see today is bullshit.
I miss the old DOS days where McAfee had a ‘fresh’ bootable release every day or so.
Great advice you’re talking about it so everyone else is able to know! Definitely will keep in mind. Also, took me a while to get it right, you have to reignite the situation that first brought you together and also avoid a ton of poor decisions we all make naturally if you want to save marriage alone

How do i get updates sent to my inbox when you update the blog? I been checking your blog for a while now and wouldnt mind a heads up.
Extremely interesting post thank you for sharing I have added your website to my bookmarks and will be back
With spambox you can set up your own domain name and still use their services. So your email would not have the spambox.us url.
These are really great sites!
This page is great. I found out about ninte via this page last year. Thanks
Thank you for this very helpful websites.
Look’s to me that you have got lot of spammers commenting on this post Bryce
