If you want to tweak some graphics to increase your FPS in the game, use the console by pressing "~" button then type this commands.
cg_drawfps 1
diplays fps in top right corner
cg_drawlagometer 1
draw your Lagometer on screen
com_maxfps 125
(One of the most important commands in cod4 is the FPS command, and Ill tell you why. You probably already know that more fps makes the game feel much smoother. What you might not know is that COD4 is based on the q3 engine and is designed to work at 125 FPS.What this means for you is that your going to have problems interacting with the game under 125 FPS. This can mean any thing from not being able to climb objects, or even bad hit detection during fire fights. The problem is your fps is set to 85 by default, lets fix it. Bring down you console and type com_maxfps 125. If you want to remove the limit, type com_maxfps 0.
cg_fov 80
Next up is the field of view command. FOV(field of view) is basically how much you can see on your monitor at one time. The higher the number the more you can see, which will give you a huge advantage over those who don't use this command. Default is 65 max is 80, to change it bring down your console and type "cg_fov 80".
r_drawdecals 1
Another helpful command is "r_drawdecals", set it to 1 for on and 0 for off. Its off by default, and don't be surprised if you turn it on then have to turn it off to get into certain servers. It basically cleans up some of the random paper and trash on the ground, and gives you an fps boost. But some servers want you to have bad fps and wont let you in unless its set to 0(note that the other commands will work fine on any server).
maxpackets 100
Maxpackets next, this command command usually helps people who have good fps but bad hit registration. Default is 30 if your fps is set to 125 you should set maxpackets to this "/maxpackets 100".
snaps 30
This command tells your cod4 server how many times to update positions of players, bullets ect per second. Default its 20 setting it to "/snaps 30" should make movement look smother and hits register better.
r_drawsun 0
Disables the sun and a bunch of effects that is causes saving you a few fps.
cg_brass 0
Turns off shell ejection. Not having to render them should send a few more fps your way, a good addition to your CoD4 config.
cl_packetdup 1
Duplicates packets send between player and server - players with a good connection and no packet loss should use 0, players with packet loss should use a higher number (0-5) most players use 1-2
sm_enable 0
Turns off unique Shadows ingame, it boosts FPS more than most commands
r_multigpu 1
can add more FPS
r_cachemodellighting 1
can add more FPS
r_cacheSmodellighting 1
can add more FPS
r_aaAlpha 0
remove the anti-aliasing / smudge effects, this can free up more FPS also
r_texfiltermipmode 2
Turns it to bilinear filtering, which should give you the best fps
r_rendererPreference 0
to use Shader Model 2.0 instead of 3.0 which will increase fps for those people using old videocards
Now Type...
/vid_restart
You're done... enjoy! ;)

Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare
I've been a game enthusiast since i started working with computers. Games with good graphics and gameplay always catches my eyes. INFINITY WARD did a great job on Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare. First of all, the game looks very realistic and stunning...one of the few games that support/utilize DirectX10.
In Single-player, you'll be switching between the perspectives of two soldiers, a U.S. Marine and a S.A.S. British soldier. Both team has the same goal, to extinguish a terrorist threat. Every mission of each team is linked to one another which makes it more understandable. Story is presented so well with such a raw and gritty fashion so it's easy to be drawn into it... and I have to say, dramatic twist and some of the sequences will shock and leave you breathless.
The modern settings adds some very interesting features. First will be the guns, some of the primary weapons has grenade launcher and a lot of the guns now have laser-sights, making it easier to shoot your enemies. Here's the interesting part, you can shoot through thin walls, wood, or anything that looks like it that could provide poor cover on your target. Just a reminder, always watch your six...some of the bad guys dont give up easily and can still kill you with a "last stand shots" which makes it more life-like. You even have stuff like night vision, flash-bangs, air strikes, bombing runs, claymores, and other various explosives to give you an upper hand over your enemies so use it wisely. Your enemies are smart so don't underestimate them, they'll take advantage of cover, grenades, and if they're given the chance, they'll outflank you.
The only problem I saw was a short campaign, you can even finish the game in just one sitting... but I assure you it's a thrill ride which makes this game stand out.
Multi-player mode offers a lot of things, you can choose between deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, territories and so on. It can be addictive as well because of the level-up and perks system... the higher level you get, the more guns are unlocked (more powerful ofcourse). Perks are also unlocked at the same time like claymore, grenade laucher, deep penetration (for shooting walls), last stand, increase bullet damage, and more. You have to select 3-perks wisely... that will depend on what type of guns and match-up your going to play. Camo patterns and different iron sights are also available on this game. You can even call a chopper and air-strike on multi-player, that is if you're able to kill 5-7 enemies without dying.
Call of Duty 4 is one of the most eye-pleasing games to date. With gorgeous destruction, eye-piercingly sharp gun models, and dynamic shadows...this one is worth checking out.

April Fools Day Virus | Conflicker C
Virus
|
I was surfing the net few days ago when I saw the news about this Conflicker-C virus posted on yahoo...which they call "April Fool’s Day Virus". I read a few lines then I started thinking if my computer is already infected as well. Here's the deal, Conflicker-C virus is a worm type virus and even Microsoft has offered $250,000 bounty just to catch its developers. I started thinking back about the Love-bug virus and how it hits Microsoft and even Pentagon.
Research proves that this Conflicker-C worm already infected at least 3 million PCs, and set to spring to life in a new way on Wednesday (April Fool's Day). That's when the infected PC's (which is called "botnet") will get more aggressive about "phoning home" to the worm's developers over the Internet. When that happens, the worm developers will be able to trigger the program to send spam, spread more infections, clog the networks traffic, or even bring down Web sites. Even legit sites can be co-opted for this purpose, once hackers make it through...it uses the sites servers to send out malicious commands.
Infected computers have been trying to connect each day to 250 Internet domains (spots on the Internet where Web sites are parked). The worm developers need to get just one of those sites under their control to send their commands to the botnet.
They say that it will get harder to track On April 1 and it is said that infected machines will generate a list of 50,000 new domains a day that they could try. Of that group, the botnet will randomly select 500 for the machines to actually query. This worm tries to crack administrators' passwords, disables security software, blocks access to anti-virus vendors' Web sites to prevent updating, and opens the machines to further infections by Conflicker's authors.
This virus trick people into downloading a malicious program, Conflicker is so good at spreading because it finds vulnerable PCs on its own and doesn't need human involvement to infect a machine.
Here's some reports regarding the April Fool’s Day Virus | Conflicker C
Some Anti-virus company offers Removal tools for this but keep in mind that your Windows/Operating System should be updated as well. You can check Symantec Website for more info about Conflicker-C and how to remove this worm...click HERE.
I also found a report about Conflicker eye chart and how it works. Conflicker eye chart is the easiest way to determine if your computer is infected with Conflicker worm. For more info on how this "Conflicker eye chart" works... click HERE.
