How to Check if Antivirus is Running in your computer?

To know if the anti virus is active in your computer, go to services. Go to start and in run command type services.msc, you will see the services window. In that check the service corresponding to your anti virus software. I use CA antivirus and my CA related service is up and running (it is in automatic state) and is started. If you find your anti virus service is not started, you will need to start it and then make it automatic (double click and change the property to be automatic and NOT manual or disabled)

Talk to Google.com instead of typing

You have the option of saying what you want to search to google. After you go o Google.com instead of typing the search box click the mic icon in the corner of text box and say what you intended to search. Your computer should have mic feature inbuilt and if its available you will see results in google.com for what you said in the mic .. No need of typing required to use mic option... Its handy at times...
