    How To Integrate SP3 Into MS Office 2007
    Here is a quick guide on how to Integrate or Slipstream MS Office SP3 2007 into the installation CD/DVD.
    Right now 'Create A New Folder' to anywhere of your choice, I named mine 'Office 2007';
    Now I created my new folder on my G:\ Drive

    Ok to be able to Integrate or Slipstream MS Office SP3 2007 into the installation CD/DVD first thing you will need to do is Download the "office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe" file.
    Click on the link here to Download MS Office 2007 SP3 - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27838
    (Now Download this to the same location as your as your new folder you just created.) As in the image above. (Ignore the MS Office 2007 Enterprise SP3 as this was my test run)
    Ok now you will need to 'Copy the Contents of your MS Office 2007 CD/DVD' to the new folder "Office2007"

    Ok now all you will need to do is open Command Prompt as Admin and Enter the following command >
    G:\office2007sp3-kb2526086-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:G:\Office2007\Updates\
    Remember, where I have G:\ your's maybe different, so Replace G with whatever drive letter you used.

    Once you have Entered the Command, Press Enter.........

    You will see a new Window pop up 'Microsoft Software License Terms' for 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3 (SP3)
    Here you just need to accept and Click on Continue to proceed......

    Now the files are being extracted from the SP3 file you downloaded and placed into the updates folder of the Microsoft Office Installation Files you copied from your CD/DVD
    The reason we have had to Integrate or Slipstream the SP3 file this way is because the update needs to be in the .msp file format to be able to install from the updates folder from your Microsoft Office 2007 Installation CD/DVD

    Ok in a matter of seconds, it is all done!
    Click ok......

    Now burn your new Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 Installation back to a CD/DVD.
    Tried and tested on MS Office 2007 Enterprise and Professional.

    A safe way to remove viruses from a computer without the risk of getting infected

    All the rescue CDs listed here can scan and clean both FAT and NTFS drives.
    Kaspersky Rescue Disk
    Boot from the Kaspersky Rescue Disk to scan and remove threats from an infected computer without the risk of infecting other files or computers.Burn this ISO image to a CD, insert it into the infected system's CD-ROM drive, enter the PC's BIOS, set it to boot from the CD and reboot the computer.
    This lists the Gentoo-specific options, along with a few options that are built-in to the kernel, but that have been proven very useful to our users.
    Also, all options that start with "do" have a "no" inverse, that does the opposite. For example, "doscsi" enables SCSI support in the initial ramdisk boot, while "noscsi" disables it. Easily remove malicious objects from your computer without the risk of getting infected.

    Improved Avira AntiVir Rescue System
    Our programmers spent a lot of work and drastically overhauled the Avira AntiVir Rescue System which is now available in version 3.7.16. Next to a much better usability due to the redesigned user interface and 11 supported languages the new version offers even improved detection and removal capabilities.Avira AntiVir Rescue System uses Linux as operating system. The new kernel has much better and wider hardware support. The bootable CD can not only be used to analyse the system for malware infections and remove them, but also enables the user to get access to data on the system in case the operating system won't start anymore so it can be backed up onto a USB drive, for example.

    Bootable Antivirus Rescue CD from BitDefender
    Virus removal has become a very complex process today. Gone are the days, when you were required to download a standalone antivirus and it was sufficient for days for your PC Security from virus attacks.But today's malware attacks are intelligent. The first thing they do on your system is to make fool proof arrangements for hiding themselves. They modify your system files to make their detection absolutely impossible and get loaded during the boot process itself to take control of your entire system. At times, the system might become so much infected that it may be impossible even to boot it in a regular manner.
    Many user think of formatting their system as the only option left. But if you have some important data, which has not yet been backup up, then this option also is a very difficult one to exercise.

    1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to a safe location on your system.
    2. Open Command Prompt as administrator.
    3. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:
    Type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

    Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number of your USB flash drive.
    4. So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:
    SELECT DISK 3
    CLEAN
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
    SELECT PARTITION 1
    ACTIVE
    FORMAT FS=NTFS
    (The Format Process Should Only Take Few Minutes)
    ASSIGN
    EXIT
    Do not close the command prompt as you will need to execute one more command at the next step so Just minimize it for now.
    5. Now insert your Windows7 or Vista DVD into the your drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive. Lets assume that your DVD drive letter is "E" and your USB drive letter is "I"
    6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt and type in the following command now:
    E: CD BOOT and hit enter. Where "E" is your DVD drive letter.
    CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
    7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code.

    Where "I" is your USB drive letter.
    8. Copy your Windows 7/Vista DVD contents to the USB flash drive.

    9. The only thing you need to change now is the boot priority in the BIOS to USB from the HDD or CD ROM drive.
    Thats it now complete, now you can install your windows 7 or Vista from your USB!
    Enjoy!

    Rebuiding Icon Cache For Windows Vista & 7
    Ok, if you are having problems with an icon that is blank or looking kinda odd for program you have installed on you pc, try uninstalling the offending program and then re install it, this will fix the issue normally.
    However, sometimes it isn't that easy when a lot or all icons are blank. This is due to the icon cache being corrupted which can be caused by a number of things.
    This will help guide you on how to correct your issue regarding blank icons by Deleting & rebuilding the icon cache;
    Ok, to be able to rebuild the icon cache you will need to locate and delete the file which will be hidden by default.
    (step 1) Firstly open Computer by going to > Start > Computer Is Located On Right Side of Menu;

    (step 2) In the new Window Click Tools from the Menu > Select Folder Option;

    (step 3) Now click the View tab > Select Show Hidden Files Folders and Drives and click Apply;

    (step 4) Now go to computer as you did in step 1 then type in the address bar > %username%\AppData\Local and press Enter:
    Now locate the Icon Cache File and simply delete it;

    Now all you need to do now is restart your PC and this will automatically rebuild the Icon Cache to its normal self.
    Thats it done, all your icons should be displayed as normal.

    Hope you found this useful!
