Dropbox Bandwidth Settings

Dropbox is a great tool, however when uploading multiple files, it can sometimes slow your internet connection down significantly. In order to avoid this, you can change the settings for how much bandwidth Dropbox will use. This feature only works on desktop versions of the program. By default, the uploading will be set to an auto bandwidth mode. In order to change this, simply right click on the Dropbox in the task bar, then click preferences. Go to the Bandwidth tab and choose how much bandwidth you would like to allocate for Dropbox. If you do not already have an idea of how much bandwidth you get, you might want to consider contacting your Internet Service Provider (i.e Verizon, AT&T, AOL).

Edit Your Music Or Make Remixes

You can edit music very easily using a variety of tools available for download. On your Windows computer, you can use Audacity to edit your music and make minor changes. Audacity offers a very easy to use user-interface and is very easy to use to make some minor to moderate changes. You can also take a look at Virtual DJ, to make remixes, and smash together songs  in a more DJ like way. There are also many apps available for tablets to DJ, as they offer a touch-screen to control lots of the way the song changes. Audacity requires a plugin to export as MP3.

Scan your Windows Computer with Windows Tools

You can scan your computer for free and without the use of any extra antivirus software by running the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. All you require is access to the run panel and be able to run tasks. Firstly, open run (start->run) Then type in mrt. You should see a new window appear. Read it over and make sure the month and year are current (if they are not-update Windows). Then you can do a full or quick scan. The scan takes around an hour for full, and 5-10 minutes for quick.
