Top 5 Ways to Protect Your Privacy Before Facebook Gets Hacked

Nowadays the only social networking site that has become popular among the younger generations is FACEBOOK. Almost 7% of the world’s population is on facebook. Along with numerous benefits it has it’s disadvantages too. The most common threat that an facebook user gets is his facebook account getting hacked by someone. We often get certain messages while we login to our facebook account that your account was being opened by an unauthorised person from an unknown place but we don’t take it seriously. Due to this small mistake you will pay a larger cost later in the future. it is very clear that this happens because due to our mistake that our privacy has been leaked to someone. So in order to protect your privacy of the facebook account here are some steps you should properly follow.

1. Change your name:

Don’t provide your real name while creating your Facebook account for the instance just use your nickname because if unfortunately your Facebook account gets hacked in future you would be in a situation to create a new account. Don’t be of the opinion that making a number of account is a crime because according to John Sileo the privacy expert of Facebook 80% of the people on Facebook have multiple Facebook accounts.

2. Stop geo-tagging your photos.

First let me tell you what is geo-tagging, it provides the information like the latitudes and longitudes of the photo taken and uploaded on the Facebook i.e. home ,school etc. if you are an iPhone user then just glance over for a second to your “settings”, go to “privacy” and turn off the location services for all the applications in the phone or just for an individual application like camera.

3. Lie about your age.

Girls might be pretty aware of this cause they never tell their exact age anywhere in this world. But seriously always steal your birth identity if not just try to change the year. I know it feels very happy to get birthday posts on your wall but believe me it’s for your safer side only.

4. Don’t store your credit card information on the site.

In the advanced versions of Facebook there are many games, applications etc, that require your credit information about your credit card number, it’s validity etc. But for your well being try not to provide them with certain information because they can use these things in other wrong processes.

5. Have some boundaries.

Have certain limits in life and in everything that you do in your life. Anything in excess is very dangerous. Have fun with Facebook but enjoy responsibly. Try to say “no” to the things that are wrong. When Facebook asks you questions about the photo that you have uploaded like who is in this photo, where the photo was taken ? Skip these questions. Do not upload address of your new house because for a thief it would just be a welcome invitation letter.

Removing Norton Anti-virus 2004, How to remove the Registry Enteries

NETWORK TECH WORLD  Found this on the Norton Web site. I finally got fed up with Norton 2004 AV and switched to Avast. Had lots of problems removing Norton, lots of stuff left over in the registry. After a few Google searches, I found this. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2004020909040706?Open&src=&docid=2001092114452606&nsf=nav.nsf&view=df0a595864594c86852567ac0063608c&dtype=&prod=&ver=&osv=&osv_lvl= FYI, this is from the Symantec.com Site, so I am guessing it is nice and safe If you scroll down to the "Removal instructions" the first option is "To remove Norton AntiVirus from the registry" Click on the Plus sign and you can down load the removal tool (it is a .reg file that removes all the keys for Norton.) Direct Link for the file: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/consumer/nav/nav2004xp_reg_removal.reg After I got done, Avast started working right and my system seemed to be running alot...

NETWORK TECH WORLD  let's pretend you need a serial number for windows xp pro. in the search bar type in just like this - "Windows XP Professional" 94FBR the key is the 94FBR code.. it was included with many MS Office registration codes so this will help you dramatically reduce the amount of 'fake' porn sites that trick you. or if you want to find the serial for winzip 8.1 - "Winzip 8.1" 94FBR just try it out, it's very quick and it works nicely.. ----------------------------------------------------------- here is another trick that works fairly decent for finding mp3's on the web (which is hard to do normally, to say the least) say you want to get, for example, a Garth Brooks song. type this in the search bar - "index of/" "garth brooks" .mp3 the ones you want to check out first are the ones that say "Index of/" in the title of the search result. this technique allows you to easily pull up web ...
