WHATSAPP IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE WEB

WHATSAPP IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE WEB

Are you WhatsApp? Are you tired of having to type all of your messages through your phone? Guess what, you can type all your messages on your desktop.

On Saturday,  Whatsapp announced the new desktop version – a web app rather that for now works with Google Chrome.

How to Get the Desktop Version:To connect your web browser to your WhatsApp client, simply open https://web.whatsapp.com in your Google Chrome browser.

You will see a QR code (this is necessary, presumably, because WhatsApp uses your phone number and SMS verifications rather than usernames/passwords) — scan the code inside of WhatsApp, and you’re ready to go.

You have now paired WhatsApp on your phone with the WhatsApp web client. Your phone needs to stay connected to the internet for our web client to work, and please make sure to install the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone.

Unfortunately for now, Whatsapp will not be able to provide web client to its iOS users due to Apple platform limitations.

According to TechCrunch, the web app seems as if it’s using your phone for more than just the initial login. If your phone dies, so does your WhatsApp web connection as seen below (note the orange line.)

According to TOI (Times of India) Cyber security has alerted about the infectious Trojan virus which attacks Android-based smart phone users. This virus is named as “AndroidSmssend” and it can acquire as many as four aliases to hoodwink the user and perpetrate its destructive activities on a personal Android enabled phone.

Android/SmsSend is a premium service abuser family malware that arrives bundled with legitimate Android applications and infects Android based smartphones.

“Once infected, it sends text messages (typically with a link to itself or a different threat) to a specific number, typically to numbers on the contact list and is also capable to send SMS to premium rate numbers,” the Computer Emergency Response Team of India (CERT-In) said in its latest advisory to Android phone users in the country.
The virus is so notorious, the agency said, that it “steals contacts and pictures, tracks the location, steals passwords, illegally accesses text messages, crashes a complete system, steals personal banking information when logged in, installs other sort of spyware and disables firewall and anti-virus program to defend itself.”

The agency has suggested some counter-measures in this regard.

“Do not download and install applications from untrusted sources, install applications downloaded from reputed application market only, run a full system scan on device with mobile security solution or mobile anti-virus solution, check for the permissions required by an application before installing, exercise caution while visiting trusted/untrusted sites for clicking links, install Android updates and patches and use device encryption or encrypting external SD card feature available with most of the android OS (operating system),” it said.

And also, avoid using unsecured, unknown Wi-Fi networks and make a practice of taking regular backup of the Android device, the advisory said.

 

MAKE YOUR COMPUTER WORK FASTER IN 10 EASY STEPS

MAKE YOUR COMPUTER WORK FASTER IN 10 EASY STEPS

We all know that sinking feeling when your computer decides to slow down and barely function for no real reason.

Why is my computer so slow?  There are several reasons why your computer might not be running at it’s optimal speed. Let’s start with what you’ve got running in the background…have a quick look, how many applications do you have open, how many internet windows do you have open? Now, are all of them really necessary? If the answer is no to any of them close them, don’t just x out the window, exit out of the software. Obviously that’s not going to fix the issue completely, but there are it’s a start. The good news is there are a even more easy things you can do to keep your computer healthy and happy, and running at top speed.

Here are just a few tips on how to get it back up to speed

1. Uninstall unused programs
2. Automatically delete temporary files
3. Additional storage
4. Update your software
5. Delete files you don’t need.
6. Remove gadgets you don’t use
7. Run a Disk Cleanup.
8. Run a Disk Defragment.
9. Check for any disk errors
10. Use anti Virus Software

Uninstall unused programs

Similar to the way temporary files can clog up the speed of your computer, unused programs can as well. Be honest with yourself, when was the last time you used iBooks or Keynote? In fact, there are probably a slew of programs on your computer that you aren’t even aware of! If you don’t use it, get rid of it. To remove these programs, access the ‘Control Panel>Programs and Features’, scroll through until you come to a software application you no longer require, typically each application should sit next to it’s uninstall icon. Click on it and follow the instructions to remove that piece of software from your computer.

Automatically delete temporary files

Temporary files are collected and housed on your hard disk. When you get a build up of these, they can slow your computer down quite dramatically. Just think about how every click, every web page you visit all add up, and what that means for the number of temporary files you’re asking your computer to store. These are easily cleared by going to your ‘Hard Drive’ or ‘My Computer’ and access the ‘Temp’ folder. Anything that’s older than today’s date is safe to delete from the ‘Temp’ folder. Make sure you empty your ‘Recycle Bin’ afterwards as well

Additional storage

Check on your hard drive and it’s storage capacity every once in a while, if becomes 85% full, your computer’s speed will be affected for the worst. If you use your computer often for large files, such as downloading movies etc, you might want to consider purchasing an additional hard drive for storage.

Update your software

Do you ignore the alert telling you to update iTunes and Microsoft Office? You shouldn’t! These updates offer improvements to the current version of software you are operating. The new available updates may fix your problem, so always ensure you update when given the chance.   Follow these tips and you should get at least 60-100% more of your computer’s speed back!

 Delete files you don’t need.

Unless you have very little storage space on your computer or simply have an abundance of unnecessary documents, deleting small files won’t make much of an impact on your computer’s overall function. However, any large files like movies you never watch, photos you don’t need, or songs you never listen to can really gum up the works and should definitely be removed.

• Don’t forget to empty your trash bin.

Remove gadgets you don’t use

All gadgets that are running slow down your computer.

Run a Disk Cleanup.

This can clean up hundreds of megabytes of temporary files – sometimes even gigabytes (if you have Windows XP, Vista, or 7). It will also open a window in which you can chose what to delete. Go to My Computer, right-click the Hard Drive and select Properties, and then click Disc Cleanup (within the General tab). Check all the boxes except for the game files and setup files.

Run a Disk Defragment.

This will reconfigure the way the hard drive stores information for maximum efficiency. Go to My Computer, right-click the Hard Driveand select Properties, then go to the Tools tab and click Defragment Now.

Check for any disk errors

These will also slow your computer down. Go to My Computer, right-click the Hard Drive and select Properties, then go to the Toolstab and click Check Now under the Error-Checking area. When the dialogue box opens, check both boxes.

• If you get a window saying that Windows can’t check the disk while it’s in use, click on Schedule Disk Check and then OK. It will run on your next reboot.

Use anti virus software

Use anti virus software to prevent you from virus attack. This will help you from making you computer run fast . I strongly recommend you to use Avast anti virus software Its the best software for antivirus

HOW TO CREATE A PASSWORD PROTECTED FOLDER WITHOUT ANY EXTRA SOFTWARE

HOW TO CREATE A PASSWORD PROTECTED FOLDER WITHOUT ANY EXTRA SOFTWARE

There are a lot of methods that you can use to create a password protected folder, most of which require the use of some third party software. Using this neat method you can hide your folders with a quick batch script.

It’s important to note that this will not actually conceal your data from somebody who knows what they are doing.

Note: if you are a beginner you should be careful with this script.

Create Your Password Protected Folder

Before you get started you need to create a folder that will house your password protected folder, this is just an ordinary folder and can be located anywhere and named anything.

Navigate into your newly created folder and create a new Text Document. This can easily be done from the context menu.

Open the document, now paste the following code into the contents of the document:

cls 
@ECHO OFF 
title Folder Private 
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK 
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER 
:CONFIRM 
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N) 
set/p "cho=>" 
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==y goto LOCK 
if %cho%==n goto END 
if %cho%==N goto END 
echo Invalid choice. 
goto CONFIRM 
:LOCK 
ren Private "HTG Locker" 
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker" 
echo Folder locked 
goto End 
:UNLOCK 
echo Enter password to unlock folder 
set/p "pass=>" 
if NOT %pass%== PASSWORD_GOES_HERE goto FAIL 
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker" 
ren "HTG Locker" Private 
echo Folder Unlocked successfully 
goto End 
:FAIL 
echo Invalid password 
goto end 
:MDLOCKER 
md Private 
echo Private created successfully 
goto End 
:End

Change the PASSWORD_GOES_HERE text to the password you want to set. Now go ahead and save the file as locker.bat.

Once the file is saved as a batch file you can delete the original text file.

Now run your batch file by double clicking on it–the first time you run it, it will create a folder called Private. This is where you can store all your secret things. When you have finished adding all your stuff to the Private folder, run locker.bat again.

This time you will be asked if you sure that you want to lock the folder, press the “Y” key and hit enter to lock your folder.

You will see that your Private folder quickly disappears.

If you run the script yet again, you will prompted for a password.

If you enter the same password as you set in the script the Private folder will reappear if you enter the incorrect password the script will just Terminate.

How to See the Files Again

Most people don’t know how to show system files, but anybody who has some experience will probably be able to quickly figure it out in the Folder Options. To see the files again, all you have to do is uncheck the boxes for “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” and uncheck the box for “Hide protected operating system files”.

But any ordinary user who unchecks the box will most probably be scared off by the warning message that appears.

The second way someone could comprise the folder is to open the batch file and read your password. It’s definitely not a really secure way to hide your files, but it is fun.

Attribution note: We found this script on dozens of different web sites going back many years. We have no idea who first created the script, so we’ve omitted any sort of attribution link. If you do have proof that you first created the script, contact us and we’ll adjust the article accordingly.

If You Forget Your Password

Seems like once a week somebody writes in asking how to figure out the password they set. And the answer is really simple: Right-click on the locker.bat file and choose Edit.

Then you can see the password you set in the file.
