Mozilla has just released Firefox 3.5 a couple of days ago, the latest version of my favorite web browser. If you’re still with the 3.5 Beta version, here is a link to download Firefox 3.5.

Well, if you’ve not been using Mozilla Firefox web browser till now, I strongly suggest you start using it immediately! It is not only more faster than other browsers but also more convenient and easy to use with fantastic functions like Private Browsing Mode.

On the previous beta versions, you could not enable private browsing mode - what you could do is remove your browsing history for just a specific website or just the history of the last few hours browsing.

However, with the release of Firefox 3.5, now you can always start and stop private browsing mode. Here is how you do it.

• Make sure you’ve downloaded Firefox 3.5 and not Firefox 3.5 Beta.

• Click on the tools menu and click on “Start Private Browsing.” You can also use the shortcut simply by pressing Shift + Ctrl + P (Press Shift, Control, and P keys at once together).

• Firefox will ask you to confirm your decision. Confirm it my clicking on “Start Private Browsing” again.

• To end your private browsing session, just again click on “End Private Browsing” on the tools menu or again press Shift + Ctrl + P.

As soon as you activate Private Browsing mode in Firefox, all what you’ve browsed, cookies, and data are stored temporarily, i.e., as soon as you end the session, everything will be flushed out with no traces left behind of your browsing history!

How many times have you had a problem identifying whether a file that you’ve identified to be running in your computer via Windows Task Manager is a virus, a spyware, or a genuine Microsoft system file? If you are an average user and do not know much about the system files and programs that normally run, you may not even be able to identify a virus from a system file.

For eg., svchost.exe is a part of Microsoft windows operating system file, but many times even I’ve been fooled with a malware named scvhost.exe which has identical name as svchost.exe or even some another svchost.exe file running from “…windows/system/web/12345″ folder instead of “…windows/system32″!

So if you are suffering from slow PC and suspect it to be due to a virus/spyware/malware, here is what I suggest - FileInspect.Com

FileInspect is a superb free online windows process library which gives you an extensive information about all the processes that runs in your computer. Not only does the site provide mere windows process descriptions, but it also suggests tips and tricks to fix the problem.

This site is very interactive - if you also have knowledge about a windows process, you can also leave comments and share your thoughts or even ask questions if you have doubt about some suspicious program currently being run in your PC.

However, this site is still in beta mode, so it doesn’t cover up all the processes in detail, but I’m sure the developers of the site are gonna make the site more informative and useful to the users.
