A serial file is a type of computer file in which the data has been written to the file in sequence (like a phone directory). Usually such files have to be read from the beginning to find a particular record.
Criteria for Computer file classification Criteria for classifying computer files are: By nature of content: refers to the nature of file content By organization method: refers to the way files are arranged e.g. serial, sequential, random etc.
file volatility, file activity, file size, file queries, data currency
what is serial processing
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to interface devices to a host computer.
hidden file (H), read-only(R), archive file (A), index file (which is only in vista), System file (s)
Serial file organization provides indexed categorization of data, which many users find helpful. Another benefit of serial file organization is easy access to files.
records in a serial file are not in any particular sequence. so this type of organisation would not be used for updating the master file, and there will be no way to read a particular record unless you read all the records in the fileSERIAL FILE is a collection of records that is organized one after the other with no sequence
the difference is that sequential organization: this are records are stored and accessed in a particular order sorted using a key field serial organisation: records in a file are stored one after another. You need to go first file in order to reach the required file.

These lecture notes describe those file organizations in detail and compares and contrasts them: http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~franco/OpSys-304-427/lecture-notes/node53.html
Serial File -in serial file, the records do not folow each other in any particular order, so if another record needs to be added, it just can be added in the end of the file. Sequential File -sequential file are just like serial files except that the records are held in certain sequence. for instance, you might decide to order the student file in admission number sequences.. that all what i know.. :)
The year of manufacture for serial number 421614 is 1926. http://armscollectors.com/sn/winlookup.php?file=win1912.dat

So that anyone with bad intentions doesn't have the serial number to report it stolen and the means to locate it when they file the report. <><><> A common fear, but have yet to document one case of that happening. If a person DOES file a false report of a crime with the police, that is a serious crime of its own.
This basically means that the keygen for the software you downloaded (to provide a serial key for the software) has become infected with a Trojan also in the file. You would probably be best deleting the software and downloading from somewhere else.
