Being into software and web development has its own advantages and disadvantages. Like its easier to hook up with girls since they often mess their PC and don't know how to get out, which means you get free invites to their place :). At same time, you often have to download things that might be potentially dangerous and often harm your computer.

Last time I was hit, it took me a few days to get out of it. It was not a virus, but rather an innoccous adware, well that is what it looked like. Started with just giving me a pop-up window if I used Internet explorer. Remember that I user Opera so Internet Explorer is not a big deal for me. But it soon spread like a virus, and before I could realize my system was taken over. I was no longer the administrator and all the system process users were showing blank names.

If you don't understand what I am talking about but can feel that you are going through it then I recommend XoftSpy.

Anyhow, I won't go into technical details here. Rather I will present the Xoftspy review and what it can do for you.  Find and remove infected files immediately whether they reside in running processes, files, folders, or registry entries. It scans almost everything.

One of the things I liked the most is XoftSpy has one of the largest spyware databases of any spyware removal tool and includes automatic feature updates for protection against new spyware and adware. Once Xoft Spy find the infection, it labels it for you and indicates its threat level. Delete all the threats, or only specific ones.

The software was able to clearly get rid of all the issues. Few noticeable things were

1) The system was noticeably faster

2) There was no adware or spyware problem thereafter.

3) It was available for immediate download which was a big plus.

4) There were no side effects. Yes, there are adware and spyware that manipulate your system to their advantage.

The only drawback. Not too many options for the user. There is a scheduler available though but I am sure advanced user like me (IMHO), will definitely prefer more options like selecting the files to remove.

If I am asked to rate it on a scale 1 to 10. I will give XoftSpy a rating of 9/10.

Here is the direct download link to the software.

Let me reiterate - OPERA IS THE BEST BROWSER YOU CAN FIND!

but when you are into web development you have to resort to firefox often for the add-on. Funny though that since addon have started appearing I have stopped seeing progress in firefox, its memory heavy, cpu heavy, slowest browser that is now just for Google promotion - The very reason for its existence.

 

Anyhow I am quite used to opera where pressing ctrl+H send it to system tray, freeing the task bar space. So I thought may be someone at firefox is trying to copy that too. But no, finally had to get an add-on (an unsigned addon that carries as much security risk as anything else) to minimize firefox to the system tray.

Here is the link to it -

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2110

To customize this add-on, go to Tools menu of Firefox and the n click Add-ons.

Now select Minimize to Tray Add-on and click options.

This will open the options window. Check the options you like.

Click ok and you are done. 

Works could have been inbuilt in firefox!

Till the time firefox itself becomes anything worth competing with Opera or Even Flock you'll have to rely on addons.

Microsoft has released an update for Internet Explorer 7, dropping the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) validation for XP users. Previously only genuine copies of XP (i.e. those that phone home to validate) could download and install IE 7.

Microsoft’s move to open up IE 7 to pirated copies of Windows may stem from the fact that IE 7 has yet to overtake IE 6 in popularity according to most web traffic surveys. The removal of the WGA requirement is almost guaranteed to increase the install numbers over IE6.

Microsoft has also made a few small changes to IE 7 in today's update, including the default visibility of the menu bar and a new, more in-depth tour for first-time users.

You can grab the updated Internet Explorer 7 — legit copy of Windows or not — from the Microsoft site.

You see the tag cloud or label cloud out here in this blog. If you don't understand what it is, probably it is of no use to you :).

Blogger does not has as inbuilt widget for them. But you can set them up quite easily. Here is the simplest of the ways to set them up. Follow the instructions on this post.

Make sure you backup your template before making any changes, or implementing this tag cloud/label cloun widget




Here is the code and setup information to use the Label Cloud in New Blogger.
First you obviously have to have a blog on New Blogger, and you MUST be using the layouts templates,
(this isn't available for classic templates, or FTP published blogs ) and you must have some posts labeled already. (There needs to be at least ONE label with more than ONE entry or the scripts hit a bug - so have at least one label with more than one entry before starting).
