Norton Safe Web Beta is a Web site rating service that makes it easy for users to differentiate safe sites from malicious ones. Once downloaded, the beta will provide visual site ratings within everyday search results from top search sites like Google, Yahoo! and Live Search- so you can keep using your preferred search tool and don’t have to take any extra steps. Additionally, due to the nature of Web threats such as drive-by-downloads, it will also warn users before they visit a site that contains malicious content. So if you’re shopping, watching video, downloading music, reading news or just surfing the 15 billion or so pages that are on the Internet, Norton Safe Web helps you know what’s safe, and what isn’t. Norton Safe web is also available for the Norton Internet Security 2009 solutions as an add on plug in.

1. Avira Antivir Personal Edition: This Avira Free edition is using same engine of paid edition. Its detecting ratio is really high when compared to the other major Antivirus. Avira has 99.6 %  virus detection than the others. What it is impressed me that, it will detect the USB Flash drive virus and delete it that normally others don’t do. When you using this free edition the often pop up for the paid version is really annoying.

2. Spyware Doctor Starter Edition: This version is to be designed for the the people, not just experts. This pack is actually bundled with the Google Pack. In this version you can run the full spyware scans but most of the advanced options are real time protection is not available in this free edtition.

3. Comodo Firewall Pro: Comodo Firewall is not just a firewall but it has the engine of an antivirus too. It offers a protection of firewall+antivirus+spyware security. It’s best feature is it has a Host Intrusion Prevention System stops malware from being installed in your computer.

4. Spamfighter Standard: Spamfighter blockes the collective intelligence of 4.5 million e-mailers around the world to block spam with a toolbar in Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail. The free Standard version shows a text ad in the toolbar and adds a footer to your e-mail messages. A Pro version is ad-free and costs $29 after a 30-day trial. It’s main drawback is it is not support any other email clients other than Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail.

5. McAfee Rootkit Detective: Rootkits are always a headache, onec it is infected in your pc it will hide all the infected files and most of the Antivirus applications will not be able to detect it. Finding the rootkits is really a tough job if you are not a Malware expert. McAfee will detect such suspicious files and give you instructions how to deal it.

Then I came to know through many forums that many ips of india and middle east banned as a result of hacking attempts.

Rapidshare has banned ip addresses of the entire range. This means that the whole isp which has got this ip range is banned.

here are some of Blocked IP ranges:

IP block 59.90.0.0 - 59.99.255.255 blocked.

IP block 41.232.0.0 - 41.235.255.255 blocked.

IP block 59.170.0.0 - 59.189.255.255 blocked.

It is the second time it seems that rapidshare server was targeted in this week from ip ranges leased by BSNL and MTNL india resulting in the banning.

After contacting rapidshare support i got a reply from their side.

Today am writing about a tool which is called Locknote.I was in search for a password manager to keep all my passwords and banking details. I got a few password managers but those were not enough to satisfy my needs as I need something more than a password manager. This locknote is a took which is like a notepad file and you can save all your text as notepad and this is an EXE file which will save all these information in this exe file and encrypt using a password its using the most modern AES 256bit encryption technology. Finally its main advantage that its an open source application. So try it out and write your experience about it!

These skin will give your laptop a better look and better protection from scratches. These are Vinyl Stickers which used for the professional uses like car’s graphics.For a good clarity and density of the picture they have used good quality material.
