How to Win a Girl’s Heart Through Courtship?

Courtship
noun: an act of showing your feelings towards a person through sweet gestures 

    Girls are not just about sweet talks, chocolates, flowers, and/or jewelries; they are more than material things. Winning their hearts is not just through material things, although they are appreciated, but it is not always material things that matters especially if your goal is to express your real feelings for girls.

Here are some tips to properly court a girl you love: 

Tip 1: Listen. Girls are different from each other. Maybe your moves or “galawan” before will not work with this girl now. Listening to them would help you understand their story more than just the shallow surface of their whole self. It would help you come up with ideas on how to make her comfortable and safe with your company. In short it is the best way to be her friend and in the future her partner.

Tip 2: Fill everything that she lacks. This is not always doing the first move in everything. This is actually about compromising with what she has and what you have to make whatever it is between you two work. This is about filling in her weaknesses with your strength. For instance if the girl you like is not that confident during the first date then make a move and start a conversation with her in this way you will get to know her more and will help you make the second date better than the first.

Tip 3: Win her trust and never lose it. Winning a girl’s trust is never easy especially if that girl you like or love has trust issues. Her trust is actually way more important than her love, she could love someone but not trust them but she could not trust someone without loving them. Trust is actually the foundation of any relationship together with friendship. Acting like a jerk will not make you a man, treating her right will do. The thing is, at the very first place, it was your intention to express your love not to toy her so please never ever play with a girl because you are not just ruining your reputation but her future relationships as well.

Handling Introverts Like a Pro

Introverts
noun
: individuals who do not have the same feels like you; a reserved person who finds strength from being alone. 
      Introverts are not easy to handle, handling them requires a great amount of patience and understanding but guess what, they are one of the best individuals you would ever encounter. (Just make sure not to be annoyingly talkative.)

Here are some steps you could use in handling introverts like a pro from an introvert herself:
Step 1: Don’t (please I am begging you not to) invade their personal space. Introverts love their personal space, people who love invading their personal space makes them uncomfortable. They are allergic to socializing. Unlike you they need a day or two to actually prepare before an event. Socializing drains them.

Step 2: Stop talking about yourself. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU. Imagine someone invading your space talking about himself and you have no choice but to stay there and pretend like you are very much interested but it is draining you, this my friend is what we feel every time.

Step 3: Understand that the introverts’ source of strength is being alone. STOP FORCING THEM TO SOCIALIZE PLEASE. Socializing is not really a must and is not supposed to be required because people have different ways of learning and doing things. Introverts are very much tired of this stigma because it is not healthy for them to be forced every time because they are seen as not normal.

Step 4: Make them feel comfortable but never ever push yourself to them. This is not because they hate you or maybe they do but technically they just love being alone but not lonely. Besides, if ever they feel or they like your presence they will be like cats all over you.

Step 5: Respect and understand their hibernation time. Introverts need to recharge and the only way to do so is to spend some time alone. Respect this and they would really appreciate it.

How To Remove Worms (PC-Windows)

Worms are quickly spreading virus transmitted through uncertain systems, email connections, programming downloads, and web-based social networking links.Worms essentially influence PCs, yet Mac clients can unwittingly spread them all through the Internet. And keeping in mind that infections don't influence Android or iOS, they can fall prey to other malware. Figure out how to expel a worm from your Windows PC with an infection evacuation instrument, expel malware from Macs and cell phones, and how to best shield yourself from malware later on.


1.) Download a virus removal tool like Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool. 
     If you think you have a worm virus, download a dedicated virus removal tool to scan for and remove viruses. Do this even if you already have antivirus software, as the software on your computer may be infected. Once you’ve chosen a virus removal tool, download it to your desktop.

• Most companies that sell antivirus software also offer free virus removal tools. Some options besides Microsoft’s own are Kaspersky Free Virus Scan and Sophos Virus Removal Tool.
• If you can’t use a web browser on the infected computer, use a different computer to download a virus removal tool, then burn it to a CD or DVD. Insert the burned disc into the infected machine, press ⊞ Win+E to launch File Explorer, then double-click your DVD-ROM drive to find the tool. 

2.)  Press ⊞ Win+S to open Search, type “restore”, then click “Create a restore point” in the search results. 
      Worms and other malware can hide in the System Restore files, which may hide them from virus removal tools. You should turn off System Restore before running the removal tool to prevent this from happening.

• Windows 7 and Vista users should type “protection” into the search box instead, then click “System protection.”

3.)  Click “Configure” on the dialog, then check “Disable System Protection.”

      This works on any Windows version. 

4.)  Disable your third-party antivirus program if you have one. 

      If you have a separate antivirus program like McAfee or Kaspersky, open it and find the “settings” or “options” area, then find an option for “disable” or “turn off.”

• Once the program is disabled, you’ll probably see a message that says your computer is at risk. You can ignore it for now as you’ll be restoring it soon.

5.) Restart the computer to the login screen, then hold ⇧ Shift as you click “Power,” then “Restart”. 

     The computer will then reboot into the Chose an Option screen. This begins the process of booting into Safe Mode on a Windows 8 or 10 computer.

• To access Safe Mode on Windows 7 or Vista: Reboot the computer and tap the F8 key repeatedly as it restarts until you arrive at the Boot Options screen.

6.) If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 8, click “Troubleshoot,” then “Advanced Options.”

• In Windows 7, use the arrow keys to select “Safe Mode with Networking,” then press ↵ Enter to boot into that mode. You are now in safe mode and can skip the next few steps intended for Windows 10/8 users.

7.) If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 8, click “Startup settings,” then “Restart.”

     The computer will reboot a second time. 

8.)  If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 8, press F5 or 5 at the Boot Options screen to enter Safe Mode with Networking.

9.) Now that you are in Safe Mode, double-click the virus removal tool on your desktop. 

     Or, if you inserted a CD/DVD that contains the tool, double-click the tool to open it.  

10.) Click “Start scan”(or something similar). 

       The scan will take at least several minutes to complete. Depending on the computer, software, and infection level, this may take over an hour.  

11.) Quarantine worms and other malware. Once the virus scan is complete, the antivirus tool will report its results. If you see prompts to “quarantine” (another term for safely removing the malware from your PC), follow them so that the files are properly destroyed.

• Some programs, such as Microsoft’s Malicious Software Removal Tool, will remove the malware/worms without your intervention.
• If nothing is found, it’s very likely that you don't have a worm virus. If you still think you may be infected, try one of the other virus-removal tools.

12.) Click “Power” in the Start menu, then select “Restart.”

       The computer will reboot normally, without a worm infection. 

13.)  Re-enable System Restore. 

        Don't skip this step! To allow Windows to create automatic restore points for emergency use, return to the System Restore (called "System Protection" in Windows Vista and 7) dialog and check “Turn on system protection”. 

14.) Set your antivirus program to monitor your PC in real-time. 

       If you previously disabled your antivirus software, turn it back on now. 

15.) Enable Windows Defender if you don’t presently have other antivirus protection. 

       Windows Defender is an antivirus/anti-malware suite built into Windows. Most PC manufacturers install free trial versions of antivirus software suites, which disable Defender by default. Enabling Defender is a great (and free!) way to keep your computer safe from worms.

• Press S to launch search, then type “defender”. Click “Windows Defender” in the search results, then (in Windows 8, 10) click “Settings,” and flip the following switches to the “On” position: Real-time protection, Cloud-based protection, and Automatic sample submission.
• In Windows Vista and 7, click “Tools,” then “Options,” and then “Administrator.” Select “Use this program,” then click “Save”.

PCSX4

PCSX4 is a PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 4 Pro emulator which allows you to play PS4 games on your PC. It requires your PS4 console to grab “play-station device identifier” (PDIX) and original PS4 games. To avoid illegal activities and misuse of source code, PCSX4 is made semi open source. Only 64bit Windows 7, 8.1, 10 is supported with .net framework 3.5 and VC++2015. Windows 7 users need to install directx 11.1 platform update KB2670838-x64 if it’s not already installed. Support for macOS and Linux may be added in future when OpenGL libraries are ready.

PCSX4 is optimized to use up to 8 cores of a processor but requires at least 4 core processor with SSE-4.2 and AVX.
Intel: Core-i5 3xxx and later is supported.
AMD: FX-41xx and later is supported.
CPU performance and stability with PCSX4 differs drastically and it is difficult to tell which processor works perfectly. Some mobile based i5 and i7 processors may cause performance glitches due to lower clock rates.

PCSX4 requires a GPU to support at least Direct 3D 11.1 and Pixel shader model 5.0.
Nvidia: GeForce GTX 660 or higher is required.
AMD: AMD Radeon 7870 or higher is required.
To run every game smoothly @60FPS with 1080p resolution, GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9-290X can be recommended. PCSX4 does support 4K resolution but it is very difficult to reach 60FPS even with dual high-end GPU’s. 4GB is a minimum requirement for PCSX4 but 6GB or more is recommended. RAM with higher clock rates may increase game loading times when used together with the SSD as game cache disk. A PlayStation device identifier (.pdix) is a file generated and extracted from a PS4 console which contains encrypted identifiers info which is unique for every device. PDIX must be linked to your PCSX4 account in order to play games. PDIX is extracted using userland code execution method. (thanks to CTurt) To extract PDIX, navigate to https://pcsx4.com/extract-pdix on your PS4 web browser. There is no way you can run pirated games, PCSX4 game cache/install is encrypted with 256-bit header with .pdix hash which is linked to your PCSX4 account. We have a strict policy about piracy, please buy original games and support their developers.
PCSX4 account stores unique Machine-id and PDIX for each account, if our system detects any illegal activity, your account and ip-address will be permanently banned from our servers.
