In Canada the governments in all of the provinces and territories require some form of name search report prior to incorporating a company and in many Canadian jurisdictions before you register a business name, partnership or sole proprietorship.

Prior to obtaining a Nuans name search report or similar name search, a person who wishes to register a company, partnership, business name or sole proprietorship in Canada will sometimes do a preliminary name search. The preliminary name search weeds out all or most of the similarities to the proposed name. Less money will be wasted if you have this done.

The government reviews the full name search report to ensure there are no conflicts before it allows you to register your business. Some Canadian jurisdictions such as the federal jurisdiction will reject a name even if it sounds like another name and is spelled differently.

If you place an order with a search house for a Nuans name search report or similar report a preliminary name search is normally done as part of that fee. Determine in advance before ordering your name search that the preliminary name search is part of the service. A full Nuans name search must not be provided without first having a preliminary name search performed. There is was exception to this rule. If you are registering a partnership, sole proprietorship or business name and the province or territory does not require a name search then in that case you should pay separately for a preliminary name search to be done before you register your business name. I will go into this further below.

Just because you have a name search (Nuans report) is not a 100% guarantee the government is going to accept your name. If the Nuans search house does not perform preliminary name searches prior to ordering a full Nuans report you should look for another one. A Nuans name search report can be ordered without a preliminary name search but an experienced search house will do a preliminary name search first so you have less chance of your name being rejected by the province or territory in which you wish to register your business without charging you extra.

Think of it this way. Say you plan to incorporate a business with the name Johnson Lawn Services Ltd. The search house you are working with tells you there is no other name registered exactly as that. The search house does not bother to pre-check names as part of their service and there is a name already registered called Johnson Lawn Services Inc. Since the search house has told you there is no exact name you register your company. Mr. Johnson of Johnson Lawn Services Ltd. becomes aware that you have registered a company with almost the exact name except the ending. He considers this competition and since he has had his name for a number of years he decides to sue you to obtain an order to force you to change your company name. It is possible he could obtain an order such as this if he can prove your name is a conflict. This would cause you wasted time and money. Further, would you really want to have a company with a name that close to another company’s name. It would also be a problem for you.

When you receive a full name search report or Nuans report you can review the report yourself and should be able to tell if there is a name that is too similar to the name you wish to register. This would be another good idea just to be sure.

In Ontario you can register any company name as long as it is different in some way. Using the example above, both those names are the same except for one space and the ending of the name. The Ontario government would let that go through however the federal government would reject it for sure because the federal government scrutinizes names more closely.

In Ontario and Alberta and possibly in other Canadian jurisdictions, you can register a business name, sole proprietorship or partnership without providing a Nuans name search report. This means the government will not be reviewing the name prior to registration and therefore the onus is on you to ensure you have a name different from others. In fact in Alberta and Ontario you can register a business name exactly the same as another business name.

In a situation such as this you would want to purchase a preliminary name search. To conclude, in a case where you are registering a partnership, business name or sole proprietorship and a name search is not necessary you should purchase a preliminary name search. As a matter of fact, a lot of searches houses will check your name for free prior to registering a business name or a sole proprietorship or a partnership. If you are unclear about the website you are dealing with contact them. I am sure they would be glad to advise what their policy is.

Resources for Canadian Business Owners provides information about legal and government services for Canadian businesses as well as further information to Register Name Search.

January 22nd, 2010The Antivirus Industry

Most computer users in the United States have heard of the foremost American antivirus vendors. Manufacturers such as Symantec, McAfee, Computer Associates, and Trend Micro. These organizations have a market leading presence in the United States. Microsoft, too, has aspirations to become a key player in this enormous growth industry.

In fact, Microsoft acquired intellectual property and technology rights from GeCad software in 2003, a company based in Bucharest, Romania. They also purchased Pelican Software, which had a behaviour orientated security product, as well as the Giant Company Software for spyware and Sybari Software, which managed virus, spam, and phishing filtering.

A great deal of discussion concentrated on whether Microsoft would end up in a domineering position in the antivirus market by merely bundling its recently acquired software technologies up with its Windows operating systems at no charge. This is a comparable technique that has been applied in other markets such as word processing and Internet browsers. In fact, this is exactly what did take place. Microsoft has come out with a free product called Microsoft Security Essentials.

It is too soon for me to advise whether MS Security Essentials is a world-class antivirus product, but it is not free to everyone. Microsoft has been battling Windows piracy for a while now with its Windows Genuine Advantage sneaky download and sure enough, this new product from Microsoft will only work on Windows systems and even then, only with operating systems that pass the Windows Genuine Advantage test. (Please click the link at the bottom the page to find out more).

There is nothing wrong with that per se, but it does mean that scarcely anyone in the Third World will be able to make use of it, because a pirated operating system comes bundled with every computer that I have ever seen in Asia and probably elsewhere too. People save for years in order to be able to buy a computer and the last thing they care about when they plug it in is whether the operating system is genuine or not.

Of course there is a number of other antivirus manufacturers prominent in this market. There are many companies with great market presence in other countries that are starting to become more widely recognized. These vendors include GriSoft from the Czech Republic, Sophos from the United Kingdom, Panda Software from Spain, Kaspersky from Russia, SoftWin from Romania, F-Secure from Finland, Norman from Norway, Arcabit from Poland, VirusBuster from Hungary, Nod from Thailand and AhnLab from South Korea.

It is not yet clear where the industry is going and everyone in this market faces a rapidly changing scenario. The amount of effort required to discover and provide updates for new viruses is quite astonishing. Malicious programs are getting more and more complex and the quantity of them is increasing.

Many companies may find themselves without the capital to match the efforts of those truly bent on creating havoc. The antivirus companies are receiving hundreds of new examples of viruses a day! Moreover, the new viruses are getting “smarter” in that they propagate themselves quickly and they often hide themselves too. Some are even intelligent enough to move around in a system by renaming themselves in an effort to make it hard to eliminate them.

Is your computer’s case or casing of any importance to you? You might be asking yourself the question: why should it be? The fact is that the computer case is vital to the computer itself and also to some people.

Let’s begin from the computer’s point of view. One, if not the main causes of computer failure is excessive heat. Which is why, when computers were first used in factories and large offices, the specialized computer room was cut off from dust and was air conditioned, if not cooled especially. In those days, thirty-forty years ago, computer parts were very fragile and tremendously costly.

Nowadays, they are very, very much cheaper but they are still subject to bother from heat. Excessive heat will warp the boards, especially the motherboard because it is large, inside the computer case. They are not built for these gymnastics and sooner or later the very fine connections soldered onto the surface of the board will fracture and inhibit the flow of electricity. It will die.

In order to inhibit this happening, manufacturers put fans inside the computer so as to increase the flow of air. There are usually at least two in a desktop computer case, one fitted in to the external casing and one directly on the CPU (the chip), which is often the hottest and most expensive single component. In laptops, where air circulation is even more restricted, there may be three or four fans.

So, these fans increase the circulation of air within the case in an attempt to cool the chip’s surroundings down. Therefore, it also stands to reason that there must be sufficient space for that air to circulate. If it was left up to the computer to design itself, computer cases would be larger and with more fans. A little like you might like to live in a larger house with air conditioning, if money was no object.

Now from the human’s point of view. People agonize more about looks and fashion and about how much space the computer is taking up. Manufacturers have to listen to what people would like if they want to sell their computers. People wanted less prominent computer cases, so producers made half-size cases; people wanted less noisy computers, so manufacturers put fewer fans in the cases. And the result was unsurprising: computers housed in cases like these broke down more often and the only person who was happy about that was the producer.

There is also a trend towards beauty in computer cases. Acrylic, see-through cases are very popular with gamers. Now games machines are some of the most powerful home computers on the market, because of the power required to run the graphics at a life-like speed.

See-through cases encourage the use of size and fans, because they are often themed, which means that the interior may have green, blue, yellow or red LED’s to light it up. So, for instance, when the DVD player kicks in a red LED comes on inside the case. Similarly with fans, which may also be painted. Some of these themed computer cases are ideal for the chips that reside in them and the individuals that own them

January 18th, 2010Spyware, Adware and Antivirus

Adware, spyware and anti-virus software share some similarities, one of which is that all three are major problems for computer users. Let’s differentiate between the three.

Spyware is software that does not necessarily harm your computer. What it does is create pathways whereby someone else apart from the computer owner can communicate from that computer. Normally spyware records the different types of web sites you go to and sends that information to web advertisers, who then later send you unsolicited emails and pop-ups.

Which is why spyware is unpopular and avoided. It is more intrusive than adware. Spyware has its own separate executable programs, which allow it to record your keystrokes, scan files on your hard disks and look at other applications that you use, including but not limited to chat programs, cookies and Web browser settings.

Spyware then sends the data that it had gathered to the spyware author. The author will then use this data for advertising and marketing purposes. They also sell the information to advertisers and other parties.

Adware, on the other hand, is a more legitimate form of software.. It is similar to spyware but adware is advertising spyware which is bundled into free software or a free program and is installed automatically once that particular program or software is loaded into your computer system.

Some forms of adware, on the other hand, download advertising content when a particular application is being run. Some adware behaves like spyware in that it tracks and reports user data to the program’s writers.

The signs of spyware infection include pop-up ads that seem to be unconnected to the site you are looking at. Sometimes spyware pop-ups are advertisements about adult contents. Furthermore, if you become aware of your computer slowing down, there is a big chance that spyware and its components have found their way into your operating system. If Windows desktop takes a long time to load, it is best to scan your computer for spyware infections.

Viruses, on the other hand, are a destructive form of software. They were designed and created for one reason alone and that is to inflict chaos on your computer. They may destroy whatever data they come in contact with, can instigate self replication and then infect as many components of the computer’s operating system or network as possible.

These days, a lot of anti-virus software also provides spyware and adware scanning and removal utilities. They then remove it as well as its components located in the system registry and other locations on your computer. It is therefore, good practice to regularly update your anti-virus and anti-spyware scanner to ensure that your computer is protected from the thousands of spyware and viruses in the Internet. Beware of free add-ons or free anything really.

Adware could be spyware in disguise and could be just waiting to be deployed for its writers to gather your data. Learn how to set up a firewall and pop-up blocker in order to reduce the risk of computer infection and ensure the security of all your computer files.

What is a transparent computer casing and what can it do for you? Well, before we get going talking about the translucent computer housing, allow me to inquire you something: what does your computer?s case mean to you? I might even inquire: what does your computer signify to you? I ask this for the reason that your response will determine what you want for your computer and its housing or case.

Most people have always been happy enough with the plain, average light-grey case that comes as bog-standard with the preponderance of computers. Some have never even had a second thought about it. But then there are others who have thought about their computer?s casing a lot and who yearn for something individual for their computer.

Some of these people were skillful at metalwork, others at woodwork and a few at glassware and there are some truly incredible, innovative, home-produced casings out there. Especially among the gaming community. However, we are not all so talented with our hands, but that does not signify that we have to be stuck with a grey computer housing.

The simplest option, if you want a designer computer case is to build one out of acrylic ? the type of substance used to create the majority of fish tanks. You can purchase and easily cut sheets of acrylic for the sides and glue them all together with acrylic resin. That may appear hard, but it truly is not. Initially you would have to analyze the architecture of a typical computer case and then just reproduce it in acrylic. You might make a see-through computer case in a weekend.

Or you could buy a translucent computer case kit. These kits arrive in flat-packs just like most kitchen fittings and can be easily assembled according to the instructions with a screwdriver. No cutting, no measuring, just a little gentle screwing.

And I mean gentle, because the screws that come with the translucent computer casing packs are typically made of acrylic too and will snap easily. It is the only part of the construction procedure that requires a advisory note, as you don?t want to have to drill out a busted screw, do you? That would only put a downer on your fun.

So why would anyone want a clear computer housing? I imagine that there are loads of reasons. Some people may just want to be different and others may want to show that they can assemble or even create such a case. However, the see-through computer casing also has artistic and practical advantages. At least the good ones do.

On the Aesthetic Front: hobbyists add neon lights and small LEDs that twinkle on and off or just glow eerily, possibly triggered by a certain event, like a hard drive coming to life. These displays are called ?themes? and are usually red or blue, but can be almost any imaginable colour. Then you can add coloured fans (or paint your existing ones). You already have at least one fan in your casing and probably two or three.

On the Practical Front: lots of people like to see what is happening inside their computer case and it is neither realistic nor safe to remove the cover all together. Moreover, creating your own see-through computer housing permits you to include more fans as over-heating is the major cause of hardware malfunction. The more fans the better.

A translucent computer casing would also allow you to see whether a fan has failed, which would result in over-heating in a standard case and certain hardware malfunction, whereas you would see it going on through your clear computer case and change the fan before crucial damage and loss of data might transpire.

I want to tell you the story of a law school student whose thesis was about money laundering. She often used to Google the term to come up with a useful list of online references. This proved to be useful to her and the entire procedure of writing her manuscript became easier for it. After a few months, she came across several problems like being sent to a page which was totally unrelated to money laundering every time she entered that search term.

At first, she thought it was just a hiccup in the Internet system and then she rationalized that maybe it was a difficulty with the search engine she is using, but the continual recurrence of the problem, made her consider that she had picked up a virus of some sort. We all detest people bugging us, but people we can ward of.

What this law student was confronted with was a computer bug that she could not fend off on her own. In the first place, she was not a technologically-savvy individual and in the second place she never used her laptop for anything other than academic study and the actual writing of her documents.

The situation above is not an unusual issue. There are many people who find themselves caught up in technological problems that are mystifying, but which can actually be described in two words: spyware and adware. The notorious term ’spyware’ was first used in the year 1995 but it was popularized in the year 2000. Spyware is computer software infiltrated into a personal computer in order to access the personal data of the user.

This is done by capturing your keystrokes, web browsing history and even scanning the user?s hard drive. It may seem like something you see in James Bond movies, but that is wrong because anyone can become a target of spyware. Spyware can be utilized to spy on criminals because it is helpful to society, but how what about the use of spyware to intercept credit card details and the like?

What people can do to protect themselves is to block spyware and other software like it such as adware and malware. This can be done quite easily by loading an adware and spyware blocker. The function of these blocking programs include clearing or disabling existing spyware or to inhibit the installation of these malevolent programs.

Spyware, adware and malware are not like viruses or worms which replicate themselves, but they cause just as much aggravation because they interrupt your computer’s activities. One of the most common nuisances caused by these programs is the slowing down of the computer which is very annoying.

In some infections, spyware is not even obvious as the cause of the problem. Therefore, it is best to have a blocker set up on your computer to avoid the infection in the first place. It is far easier to prevent than cure and it is also far better to be safe than sorry
