Hello there, long time no see…been busy with college.
Anyway…this post is about creating exceptions in avast.
If you have a file/folder/URL that avast detects as being/containing a virus, although you know it’s not, you can add the file/folder/URL as an exception to Avast. This can definitely be very useful.
I made this using Avast Home Edition 4.8.
But first…
Please note: crwld.org is not responsible for any damage you may do to your computer by following the instructions bellow.
So…you can add exceptions to files/folders and to Internet web sites.
To add a web site as an exception to Avast, left-click the Avast icon on the tray bar. A window will open.
On your left side you should be able to see Avast installed providers…if not, just click where it says ‘Details… >>‘.
When you can finally see the providers, select the ‘Web Shield‘ provider and click ‘Customize‘, ‘Exceptions‘, and in the ‘1. URLs to exclude:‘ box, press ‘Add…‘. After that, just write the URL you want to add as an exception. If you want all the ’sub-folders’ under that address to be also considered an exception you should add an ‘*‘ to the end of the URL…like this:
(example)
http://thiswebsitedoesnotcontainanyvirus.com/*
That should do it.
You can also exclude extensions as indicated in the label below the box, by writing the extension name:
(example)
*.txt
When you’re done adding exceptions just click ‘OK‘.
If you want to add a file/folder on your hard disk as an exception, you want to select the ‘Standard Shield‘ provider, and then click the ‘Advanced‘ tab. As in the ‘Web Shield‘ provider, you should see a small box where you can read ‘Here you can modify the list of locations that will not be scanned and/or tested (global exclusions are not appended):‘, which means ‘Here you can add an exception’.
So, you probably figured it out already…you have to go and click the ‘Add‘ button and write the path to the file/folder you want to add as an exception. Once again, if you wish to include sub-folders (if adding a folder), you should add an ‘*‘ to the end of the path…
(example)
C:\Users\MeAndMyself\TheseAreNotVirus\*or
C:\Users\MeAndMyself\TheseAreNotVirus\notavirus.exe
Click ‘OK‘ and again ‘OK‘ when you’re done to exit.
And this is how you can add exceptions to Avast…don’t forget that the path’s that you add will not be scanned or will be ignored by Avast, so…remember that.
Hope this helped someone.
Take care.
Merry Christmas!

Hi there
Here is my solution for the first practice exercise of Google Code Jam 2008, called Alien Numbers.
I haven’t had much time to code recently, due to exams, but didn’t resist and took a look at the first exercise 
I did it in C.
Call Of Duty 4 Multiplayer crash (CTD)!

Hello there
This post is for those who are able to play Call Of Duty 4 in single player mode, but are experiencing multiplayer crashes (CTD’s).
Most of the times (not always) this is due to RealTek(TM) sound drivers. If you have a RealTek(TM) on-board sound card then this is very likely the reason why you are having problems when running on multiplayer. Apparently there are also some problems with Sigmatel® on-board sound cards. The solution presented in this post however, is for RealTek(TM) sound cards only. For Sigmatel® owners you may want to try to update your audio drivers from dell.com.
Below there are a few known fixes for this problem (only one is guaranteed though).
Not guaranteed solutions:
Solution 1: Plug in a microphone/headphone into your microphone and headphone jacks.
Solution 2: Go to ‘Control Panel -> (Hardware and Sound) -> Sound’ and one by one, select all the audio devices in the ‘Playback’ tab list, go to ‘Properties’, select the ‘Advanced’ tab and disable the ‘Give exclusive mode applications priority’ option. Click ‘Apply’ and ‘Ok’.
Remember to do this to all the playback devices in the list.
If this doesn’t work, try to do the same to the ‘Recording’ tab devices in ‘Sound’ properties also.
Solution 3: Go to ‘Control Panel -> (Hardware and Sound) -> Sound’, select the ‘Recording’ tab, right click in the window and enable ‘Show Disabled Devices’. ‘Stereo Mix’ should now be visible…right click it and ‘Enable’ it. Press’Ok’.
Solution 4: Update your RealTek(TM) sound card drivers.
Guaranteed solutions:
If you tried all the solutions above and you’re still experiencing problems when playing Call Of Duty 4 in multiplayer then you probably have to uninstall your sound card drivers to fix the problem.
Before you proceed though, it is recommended for you to take note of the make and model of your sound card for later reinstallation.
To remove your sound card, go to ‘Add/Remove Programs’ search for your RealTek(TM) sound card drivers and uninstall them.
If you can not find your drivers there, then go to the ‘Device Manager’ in ‘Control Panel’, and look for your sound card (probably under ‘Sound, video and game controllers’). Right click it and select ‘Uninstall’. After that, reboot your pc.
This should fix your problem.
If you’re running Windows Vista, your sound card default drivers will be installed automatically and you should not witness any sound problem. If you’re not running Windows Vista and your sound card does not work then you may want to reinstall your sound card drivers.
Happy Gaming!

Note: This problem exists till Call Of Duty 4 version 1.7 at least. It is possible that future versions/patches of the game correct this problem.
Slow touchpad in Debian?

If you’re facing the problem of your touchpad mouse being too slow in your linux distribution then here is your solution (it worked for me and a few other people). This was tested in Debian but may also work in other linux distributions.
All you have to do is to edit your xorg.conf file and add the following (don’t forget to create a backup):
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “Synaptics Touchpad”
Driver “synaptics”
Option “SendCoreEvents” “true”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/psaux” (or whatever you have here)
Option “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5″
Option “Emulate3Buttons” “on”
Option “SHMConfig” “on”
Option “LeftEdge” “85″
Option “RightEdge” “1010″
Option “TopEdge” “85″
Option “BottomEdge” “730″
Option “FingerLow” “25″
Option “FingerHigh” “30″
Option “MaxTapTime” “180″
Option “MaxTapMove” “220″
Option “VertScrollDelta” “100″
Option “MinSpeed” “0.10″
Option “MaxSpeed” “0.45″
Option “AccelFactor” “0.2″
Option “HorizScrollDelta” “0″
EndSection
This should do the trick
If you don’t know how to edit your xorg.conf file then here is a possible way of doing it:
1- Open your terminal, login as root, and navigate to /etc/X11.
2- Now, you can use Vi (text editor, usually already installed) to edit the file in the console. Just write vi xorg.conf. Now you are able to edit the file. Save it and you’re done.
If you do not know how to work with Vi you can check this link or try other editor.
3- Reboot so the system loads the new configuration and you should now have a faster touchpad.
You can also edit speed values at your need.
Take care!
