Sharing a picture equals $

Recently I found out about a site that you can store unlimited pictures into their server, without any questions (of course, mind your manners when posting your desired pictures)! The fact that its unlimited, you can create lots of albums from it, and you can share them to your family and friends online, without sending them an email with lots of picture attachment that sometimes infects your friend's computer when they open your email attachments due to a virus! Adding to that, you can earn money online, well it's a bonus after the unlimited storage. So why not check the site and decide if you want to create albums from shareapic. Most public galleries that I've checked everyday are photos from hollywood taken by paparazzi. It's time to change that habit. Also, if you have a picture blog, you can paste your picture from shareapic to your own blog, as this is one of its features. Try now!

Using hotspot shield and skype

In Dubai, UAE, Skype is blocked. The reason is while Skype is giving its services to the mass for free, telecommunication companies look at the Skype's services as a threat to their business, financially. How to combat this?
First, hotspot shield is a software like YM of yahoo, that you can call to either 1. a computer that has skype installed and 2. to a phone of any location. The term skype-to-skype is used when communicating using a computer, and skype-to-phone when a computer tries to communicate to a phone. There is also phones like Blackberry that you can install Skype with and call other Blackberry phones to communicate with, cool huh as long as the other party has Skype in it too!
As I've said, in UAE, lots of site are being blocked, especially not-so-childly-like sites, including the hotspot shield. Hotspot shield is needed when you install Skype into your computer but can't do skype-to-phone or skype-to-skype.
To install hotspot shield, you need to use another proxy server, like ultra surf. After the installation of hotspot shield, connect it to net before using your Skype. Your skype must have credit so you can do both.
PROBLEMS:
1. If for some reasons, after downloading the software hotspot shield but its not running, go to system configuration utility window, go to services tab, hide all microsoft services then disable everything. In Startup tab, disable everything too. Restart the computer, then run the installer of hotspotshield again.

Checklist for Virus/Spyware Removal

Here are the top to notch lists if your computer is seen with virus or spyware.

1. Back up the system on a separate storage device (an external harddrive will do)
2. With the infected PC, start into Safe mode with Networking, as some viruses can only be removed in safe mode. To perform this, restart pc and wait until the manufacturer's logo is displayed, then press F8 continuously until Advanced Boot Options window will come out.
3. Turn off System Restore by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
4. Go to Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel to uninstall any unwanted/unverified software and other applications that you think is suspected.
5. Install a licensed antivirus software, run then update it on the suspected pc.
6. Install Spybot search and destroy or Superantispyware into the infected pc, run then update. You can use softwares like Spysweeper from Webroot Software, Microsoft Anti-spyware, eTrustPest Control, or Ad-aware from Lavasoft. Make sure to run and update them on the infected system.
7. Make sure you are connected to net while performing these steps. If you cannot go to internet, run LSPfix (a free utility from cexx.org) to repair Winsock 2 settings. Perform another using your licensed software.
8. Turn on system restore.
9. Download all critical or windows update.
10. Disable unnecessary startup items from Start > Run > type msconfig > Startup tab > then uncheck the items that needs no running everytime the pc starts. All items that doesn't start with C:\windows or C:\ProgramFiles or the licensed antivirus, uncheck them. Unchecking them somehow will make the computer faster in booting up.
11. Run disk clean up and diskdefrag from Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools
12. Back up the system again and destroy the previous backup since the first system backup is infected with virus.

Make a long website short

There is a quick tool for you to use in making a website short. This is a very useful tool especially if you are on the phone (as a technical support guy or as an agent) and always giving out website addresses to your clients phonetically.

An example of this is this website: it would be very hard to spell this to your customer,

http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=Hotspot+Shie
ld&tag=404&searchtype=downloads


but when you used this website, http://tinyurl.com, you can make it shorter, into this

http://tinyurl.com/neyhga

Both URLS will open the same webpage. And you can write it on the address bar shorter.

Vipre Antivirus plus Antispyware rolled in one!

I was so excited about telling you this new Antivirus Software that I was browsing over the internet. For the greatest part, you can download this both antivirus and antispyware-in-1 for a trial period of 15 days! It is up-to-date, user-friendly and easy to understand especially its graphical interface. I’ve used Nor*&n and Mc@$^&e with license and not (means free) but for some reasons, I am not contented with the results these two software is giving me. That’s why I kept on looking and trying for new software to kill viruses, spywares, malwares, worm and whatsoever bugz from my pc and found out that this is a hit for me. Try it yourself so you know what I’m talking about. We always wanted to get the freshest and the latest of news, information and technology, aren’t we, so don’t be left out! There’s no harm in trying. At the end of the day, it’s up to you to keep it or throw it away; at least you have a clearer conscience that you tried it for some reasons. Yeah right, to my astonishment I forget to mention the name of the software: VIPRE AV+AS! Peace out.
