How to safeguard your privacy online?

Posted by Shane On September - 1 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

The Internet that has become so common today has seen millions of users using it day by  day.

Thanks to social networking sites like Facebook,Myspace the rate of new users is going rapid high.

Remember, whatever you type as a comment or any suggestions, everything is recorded by the Cyber Crime department which the US government has given full rights to monitor any individual, using the name of  safety.

So how to preserve your privacy online? Here’s a wonderful tips which i  found in ehow.com

Instructions

  1. Be very careful about what you reveal. Just a few facts about yourself such as your birth date and your zip code can be enough to reveal who you are. Your public profiles at sites such as Facebook and MySpace may reveal more information to the technologically savvy than you realize.
  2. Be aware that software programs may reveal who you are or what you do based on your friends list on a social network site. Something seemingly innocent like a list of movies you like or songs you love may identify you in some situations.
  3. Keep in mind that nothing really goes away once it’s on the Internet. The revealing photos, the snarky comments, the complaints about your boss–those things live forever once they are in cyberspace. Think about the implications of what you are doing before you post a photo or a comment.
  4. Learn how to clear the cookies from your computer. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Delete Browsing History. There you can delete both History and Cookies. In Safari go to Preferences > Security > Show Cookies > Remove All.
  5. Be sure to erase your browsing history and cookies before you log off on a computer in a public location such as a library.
  6. Make sure you are using a secure network when you send sensitive information such as banking passwords or credit card numbers. Don’t use open wireless networks in coffee shops for sensitive data. Be sure that your transmission is protected by a firewall, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or other safeguard. Also make sure that the site you are on is a secure site. You can tell this quickly by looking for https:// in the location bar. The “s” following the “http” indicates that the site is secure

Thfire team receives atleast 1 email a day on this subject on any suggestions to attend the pH elitmus test and students referring to question paper.

Respecting your request, i am making a post on this issue.

Where to start?

Start the preparation by taking out the CAT exam papers and learn it completely. RS Agarwal book wont help you to answer the pH test.

What to study?

Probability this is the section which you need to work on. The sums will be tougher than you expect.

Seeing Agarwal alone will not help you. But do learn the formula’s from the R S Agarwal book. This will help  you certain extend.

Which section can i score easily?

There are 3 sections. The section where you can score is VERBAL section. This is the key for your success.

Golden Words

“There is negative marking So Dont attend the question which you dont know.

Say for example if you attend 50 out of 60 questions and in that 50 say, 45 question is CORRECT, then your percentile will be higher.

Elitmus calls people for Interview depending on how much percentile they have.

Will i get call from Companies for low pH score?

No, you need to  secure a  cut off of  70 percentile or above, to qualify for interview calls.

If you get above 70% then you can attend all the E litmus interview provided you have the eligibility marks in your academic.

This post should be treated only as a guidance for the preparation of the Test and not as the only step to follow. You may also try your own steps for the preparation.

Thfire would encourage you to search for  other previous papers and work on it. You may also study R S Agarwal as knowledge gained will always be a treasure to you.

How to find the value of my website?

Posted by Shane On August - 30 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

How to find the value of my website? This is really tricky if you are  a website owner. No individual  can give  a value to your site, apart from you.

The websites which claim to give the  value to your website  is nothing but estimations based on assumptions with no actual knowledge.

I can give you certain tips so that it will help you to estimate your site and give a good value for it

STEP 1

Check the popularity of your site. How well does your site end up in search engines like Google,  Yahoo, Bing,etc., A website is considered high if it gets a constant traffic from the search engines.

STEP 2:

The more older your site gets, the more price it gets.

STEP 3:

The most important step is to check your website rank. A page rank probably will determine how well your website goes. If you have a minimum of 2 page rank then your site is good.

STEP 4:

Ask yourself a series of questions. What is your domain name worth? How much time and energy did you put into building your website? How easily can your website be linked from other websites? How much money have you invested into building your website? Asking yourself these questions will help give you an idea of what your website is worth.

STEP 5:

check the price of  other websites  similar to your website and make a note on it.

STEP 6:

Consider all the notes above and make a better price of your site. Remember, its your site and you are going to make a price onto it. So dont  trust any other estimation websites.

If the above information  inspired you in understanding your domain value, leave us a comment.

How can I make sure I didn’t end up with Virus Infection in my system?

Ah, this is the best question to start with. But how?  I will give you a tip but this will not stop your computer from being infected.

Rather this will help you to do a better precautionary steps to make it secure.

STEP 1:

Some virus if present in your system will be present in temp folder.  It is better that you often empty the contents from temp folder.

Note: This will NOT HARM your computer. Whereas it will protect your system.

In order to delete the contents from Temp folder, XP Users do the following steps

Click Start–> Click Run–> Type %temp%–> you will get a screen opened up–> Delete all the files and folders from Temp folder.

STEP 2:

Its better that you have Anti-Virus software installed in your system. There are many antivirus software from various companies that offer few features for free. You can try that. If not you can also purchase an anti virus software product.

For Windows 7 users, the bit dyfender present in your system is good.

STEP 3:

Avoid visiting Adult Website. The websites that contain s*x, P**n contents are the first place where virus is present and ready to attack you.

You may wonder why only these sites have Virus. The answer for this is Obvious, 90% of whole of internet users, whether willingly or unwillingly visit the S*X oriented sites atleast once.

And hence the infection starts.

If you want to stop your system from being infected, Don’t visit Adult websites

STEP 4:

This is the most crucial step which you should  remember at all times.

When you visit certain websites, a pop up will emerge asking your option YES or NO.  Don’t click anything, just close the browser.

Because the Virus will not infect your system, unless a user click Yes.  You may think why should I close the browser, I will click No.

Don’t Ever do this because, some scripts will be triggered when you click NO.

Either Yes or No, your system will be infected.

The best way will be to close the browser.

If you’re unable to close the browser, then press ALT+CTRL+DELETE in the keyboard and through it end your Browser program.

STEP 5:

If you have a Anti-Virus software in your system.  Often update it.

I believe the information provided above will help your system in an effective way. Do share the post to all your friends and family members by tweeting or Facebook.

Have your valuable say on this issue through comments.


Is this your question? Tried of your system often getting infected with virus .I will update you on this issue to the best of my knowledge on how the virus infection really works.

Do you think your system is being attacked by virus because of Hackers?  Then you are wrong.

If you think hackers attack your system for Fun? Then you are wrong.

Then what is it?

A wise man told me, “If you are writing a code as 1, only you will know how to make it 0”.

Get it?

Couldn’t get the meaning, ok I will give you a better explanation.

Few Antivirus software companies (I will not name them), purpose fully spread a script that is often known as Virus by the mass population.

So once every one in a city or country raises alarm on the infection and search for a solution on how to remove them.

Then the Antivirus Company that spread the script (Virus) in the first place, will rewrite a code to turn the Virus down and will sell their products to mass public. This is how it works and this is how they earn.

If there was no virus, there would be no Antivirus software companies. They desire to earn, so simply they have technical experts, hackers, in their company so that they can create such codes.

An interesting point to note is that, “Only the company that released the virus can decode the virus. You cannot remove the virus using other Antivirus software’s “

Now you understand how it works. You may feel that this is unfair.

Yes, it is unfair but nothing can be done as there is no evidence against the companies.

How to transfer an Itunes file from one computer to another? I came across this interesting tips here.

I am sharing with you folks.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. There are 2 ways to do this. You can tranfer your library to back-up discs or to your iPod using your USB cable. To use back-up discs, you’ll need iTunes 7 or higher and follow steps 2 through 7. To use your iPod, follow steps 8 through 13. Back-up discs are recommended if you have a large library because your iPod may not hold the entire library.
  2. Open up iTunes.
  3. Click FILE.
  4. Click BACK UP TO DISC.
  5. Select “Back up entire iTunes library and playlists”.
  6. Click BACK UP. If your library is quite large, then you may need to insert subsequent discs to transfer your entire library. You will be prompted to insert the disc(s).
  7. Once the transfer is complete, open up iTunes 7 or higher on the new computer and insert the back-up discs one-by-one when instructed.
  8. Connect your iPod to your PC via the USB cable.
  9. Be sure to “enable disk use” on your iPod. To do this, open iTunes, select your iPod in the source pane under the devices section, click the SUMMARY tab, click the MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC button, click OK, click APPLY.
  10. Make sure that “copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library” is selected by clicking EDIT, PREFERENCES, ADVANCED, GENERAL. If not, check it and click OK.
  11. Choose CONSOLIDATE LIBRARY from the ADVANCED menu and click CONSOLIDATE.
  12. Quit iTunes, locate your iPod and drag the iTunes folder to the iPod.
  13. On your new computer (make sure iTunes 7 is already installed), connect your iPod, locate your iPod, drag your iTunes folder from the iPod to the MY MUSIC folder.

SUGGESTIONS

Do not remove discs during back-up and do not remove USB cable during transfer.

To free up space, make sure you delete all your media from your iPod before doing this.

Google team deserves a credit on this new application. So far, when we login to an user account using one gmail id, we cannot login  using another gmail id simultaneously. The only way we can login in another id is by signing out from the first email id.

Now for some this will be ok, but business users and multi account users faced lot of hardship due to this, including me.

To give a solution to this, google has implemented new application that will help an user to use both gmail account at the same time.

Google’s official blog reports,

Now, you can visit google.com/accounts and click the link next to “Multiple sign-in.” After you sign into your first account, you can sign in with up to two additional accounts from the new accounts menu in the upper right hand corner of Gmail, then easily toggle back and forth between them. You can even open multiple Gmail tabs — one for each of your accounts.

Please keep in mind that this is a feature for advanced users, and there are a couple things to watch out for:

1) Not all Google services support multiple account sign-in yet. For the services that don’t support it (like Blogger and Picasa Web Albums), you’ll be defaulted to the first account you signed in with during that browser session. So if you click a link from Gmail to Blogger, for example, you’ll be logged into Blogger with the first account you signed in with, even if you clicked the link to Blogger from your second Gmail account.

2) We’re still working on making Gmail and Calendar work offline with multiple sign-in. If you rely on offline access, you probably don’t want to enable this feature quite yet.

3) Multiple account sign-in only works on desktop browsers for now, so if you use Gmail on your phone’s browser you won’t see this option yet.

Since Google Apps customers can already sign in to their accounts at the same time as their personal Google Accounts, we won’t be adding this new feature to Google Apps until the new infrastructure is in place.

If you use more than one Google Account, we hope this makes you more efficient. If you have any questions, check out our help center.
