In other words, the new privacy policy unifies the total information about you which is collected by Google from somewhere on the internet…..instead of  treating your YouTube, Gmail and Google+ accounts as separate entities, Google now considers you as just one user. Why Google is doing so? Really, this new policy will make Google enable to target you easily with relevant ads.

Google first announced the exchange in its Privacy Policy in a blog post on Jan. 24, and since then many folks have criticized it as they look its new privacy policy as a huge way to collect private information of a user included its location, age, sexual orientation etc. Also, majority of Google users find this policy changes highly conflicted  with European Privacy Law and have challenged in the courts;  France’s official data-protection agency have urged for an investigation to see whether it really conflicts with EPL  or not.

How To Prevent & Remove Facebook Malware

Nowadays, Facebook is filled with spammy posts and fake applications. Facebook malware you can get on Facebook. Although it may seem impossible, there are ways that your Facebook account can get some of this malicious software which will cause many problems for your account and if you don’t do anything about it, it might get shut down This tutorial encompasses the description of the most ordinary patterns of malware propagation on Facebook, and provides tips on how to eliminate the risk to delight in social networking to the fullest.
Criminals are getting really excellent at tricking you into clicking links to fake Facebook apps like ones that promise to show you exactly who is viewing your profile, which will never happen by the way.
And then, what happens is you click that link, and depending on what kind of scam it is, you can get a computer virus or spyware, your passwords can get stolen, hackers can force money from you, or you can turn into one of the annoying friends who annoyingly post spam on other people’s walls. Don’t be that person.

Usually people get Facebook malware because they fell for a spammy wall post message or group. I always know it’s spam when I get sent a weird link from a name who I never talked to. So if you are the least bit suspicious about a link, don’t click it. Hover over that post with your mouse and click the X, in that menu click ‘Report post or spam’, and Facebook will take it from there.
You can also do that if a name posts spam as their status. Sometimes it will look like a normal status that says something like: “Did you hear Facebook is finally getting a ‘Dislike’ button?”, and then there will be a small link at the end of it. Again, don’t click it, especially if it sounds too excellent to be right.
A lot of spammers will post shortened links using services like bitly, so that you cannot see the URL until you click it. So if you ever see a shortened URL, go to services like LongURL, paste it there and you will get a safe preview of the link. And then, if you find out that it is spam, hover over the post, click the X and mark it as spam.

App Settings page where you can delete Facebook applications

A further way you can get into distress is if you install a malicious app. Sometimes you don’t find out until it’s too late and the app has used your account to spam other people or add weird equipment to your profile. If you reckon you’ve installed a terrible app, head to Facebook, click the arrow in the top right-hand corner and select ‘Account Settings’ from the drop-down menu. Then in the left menu choose ‘Apps’ and click ‘Edit’ next to apps you use. Now you are finally at the page where you can delete apps. Just click ‘Remove app’next to any app you want to delete. And even as you are here, delete apps you don’t use because they probably have permission to access your personal information.
Some apps require you to download software that can cover your account with ads, make your pages load at a snail’s pace and compromise your security. This is called adware. To see a full list of known adware programs, visit www.facebook.com/help/adware.
Remember Facebook ads will never appear as banners in the focal point, top or left column on Facebook. If you are seeing ads in these locations or ads that flash or play sound automatically, you probably have adware.
If you have downloaded one of these programs, you can clean up your account by removing any suspicious plug-ins on your web browser. Here is how:

• To disable browser add-ons in Mozilla Firefox, click Tools=>Add-ons=>Extensions.
• If you use Safari, click Safari=>Preferences=>Extensions.
• With Google Chrome, click Dialogue box=>Extensions.
• Finally, if you use Internet Explorer, click Tools=>Manage Add-Ons=>Toolbars and Extensions.

Once you get to your extensions page, review the list of plug-ins and remove any that look suspicious.

Facebook page to exchange password

Now, if adware is not a problem any longer but you still observe some other weird activity and you reckon you might have malware and your Facebook account has been hacked, there are a few other equipment you can do. First, exchange your password straight away. You can do this by going to ‘Account Settings’, then under the ‘General’ menu item click ‘Edit’ next to ‘Password’. Make sure the new password you are entering is different than all your other passwords, because if a hacker steals your Facebook password and it facility for your email account, he can use it to get into that too. Go to www.passwordmeter.com to see if the passwords you are choosing are strong enough. A excellent secure passwordwill have upper-case and lower-case letters, at least one number and a special character like a question mark.

Enable Secure Browsing for additional protection

Even as you are in the ‘Account Settings’, choose ‘Security’ menu item on the left and click ‘Edit’ next to ‘Secure Browsing’. Enable ‘Browse Facebook on a secure tie (https) when possible’ option so that third parties cannot hijack your Facebook session. Also, in order get told if a name logs into your account from a location that Facebook does not recognize, hit ‘Edit’ next to ‘Login Notifications’and enable the corresponding options. This is recommended to do for you to know if a name is logging into your account without you knowing that.
Changing your password only fixes one type of hack. Other kinds will install malware like spyware or viruses on your computer. Whether or not you reckon you have malware, you need to make sure you have antivirus software. AVG or Avira are free and highly recommended.
Also, make sure you are updating your operating system. Microsoft and Apple release security updates that fix vulnerabilities in your software. For Windows, go to ‘Start’, then head to ‘Programs’ and ‘Windows Update’. On a Mac, go to the Apple menu and select ‘Software Update’.
Now that your software is up-to-date, you’ve indifferent terrible apps and fixed your Facebook account and privacy settings, you are already a lot safer. Do everybody a favor and question your friends to do the same thing.

Sir Imran Khan Confronted By Indian Foxy (English Version)

The PEW Survey was published on June 21st and I sent you an 11 point summary yesterday. Our party leaders, opinion makers and those who speak in public should have more statistics in their knowledge. I normally prepare a review for the CEC but events are moving fast in Pakistan and therefore all of you must have complete information of this 66 page report. It is tragic that the newspapers have ignored it, therefore your role and that of our Media Cell becomes all the more important. The facts are being submitted as follows:
A PEW survey which was released on June 21st 2010 was conducted in April and May of this year. This organisation has done surveys globally and in Pakistan since 2001. As I am a student of statistics and teach the subject also to my Post Graduate (FCPS) students, I can safely state that the PEW methodology is sound and the survey is statistically very significant.
Mr Imran Khan's popularity is the highest among all leaders for the first time in the history of their surveys conducted over the last many years. Most of the questions are post Osama death. The salient features are as follows:
1. Imran Khan is increasingly popular in Pakistan. 68% have a favorable view of Khan (up from 52% in 2010). Imran Khan is widely popular across both main political parties; 81% of PML-N supporters and 61% of PPP supporters give him a favorable rating.
2. Nawaz Sharif's figures are poorer than last year: 63% express a positive opinion, down from a year ago when 71% held this view.
3. Gen. Kiyani is at 52% (down from 61% in 2010)
4. CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry is at 51% (down from 61%)
5. Prime Minister Gilani is at 37% (down from 59%)
6. President Zardari is at 11% (down from 20% in 2010 and from 64% in 2010). 63% from PPP dislike him
7. 69% want U.S. and NATO troops out of neighboring Afghanistan.
8. 62% oppose U.S. anti-terrorism efforts.
9. 92% are dissatisfied with the country's direction
10. 85% say the economic situation in Pakistan is bad
11. 60% think the economy will worsen in the next 12 months; only 13% believe it will improve.
12. What are the problems in Pakistan? 97% consider inflation as a big problem, 91% say crime is a major problem too, 89% consider lack of jobs, 88% terrorism, and 79% consider that corrupt political leaders are a big problem
13. 85% Pakistanis say suicide bombing and other violent acts against civilians in defense of Islam are never justified. A major change from 2002 when only 38% said this
14. Only 6% view US as a partner of Pakistan and 69% consider it as an enemy
15. 18% think that Pakistan government knew that Osama was hiding in Abottabad
16. Only 37% support army action in FATA and KPK (down from 53%)
17. 12 % give a favorable rating to Al Qaida and Taliban and majority do not like them. More support for Lashkar Taiba at 27%
18. 62% oppose US war on Terror and 69% want it to leave Afghanistan
19. India is considered a bigger threat (57%) than Taliban (19%)
20. 79% believe the military has a good influence on the country, down by 4% (only) after Abottabad action (was 83%)
21. 63% disapprove of US Abottabad action and 57% consider the killing of Osama was a bad thing
22. 97% consider drone strikes as bad
23. 60% have a good opinion of religious leaders
24. More than 70% in Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, and Turkey have a negative opinion about the US
25. Both Pakistanis and Indians are very negative about each other and both want improvement in relations.
This survey shows that PTI has consistently reflected public opinion and in fact as the surveys have come later and our point of view has been expressed earlier, I must say that people have also followed and adopted PTI and Imran Khan's point of view. A leadership which is truly inspirational.
Yours Sincerely,
Administrator PTI & ISF Orkut Community

Improve Your Windows 7 Registry With 7 Easy Tweaks

Improve Your Windows 7 Registry With 7 Simple Tweaks– The Windows Registry is a powerful but confusing component of the Windows operating system. In earlier editions of Windows, control the Registry was fraught with peril; if the user edited it with the ill-treat tool or altered a critical key, the result could be an inoperable Windows installation. Windows 7, but, is far more forgiving than its predecessors when it comes to modifying the Registry, if you use the built-in Windows 7 Registry Editor (Regedit).
The Windows 7 Registry is a massive database of settings and configuration data for the operating system and for all of the applications and drivers installed on your PC. When you tweak the Registry, you edit (or make) database entries to customize how your OS facility. Always make sure to Before building any changes to the Windows Registry, you should be sure to back up your vital data, as missteps in the Registry could impair your PC or even render it inoperable. That said, if you stick to modifying the appropriate entries–or keys–there’s small to worry about.
Getting Started
To perform any of the Registry modifications outlined in this article, you must first access Windows 7′s built-in Registry Editor. To do so, click the Start button, type regedit in the search meadow, and press Enter. The Windows Registry Editor will open and present you with what looks like a never-ending tree of expandable menu items.
Five main keys (also called hives) are visible in the Windows 7 Registry (a sixth key, which holds performance data, remains hidden when you use the Registry Editor):
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR) stores settings for all applications, utilities, and programs installed on a system.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU) stores settings for the user who is logged in.
HKEY_USERS (HKU) stores settings for all of the user accounts on a agreed system.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM) stores settings specific to the system that Windows is installed on.
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (HKCC) stores settings gathered or determined at runtime, generally when the system boots up.
The name of each main key indicates honestly clearly the settings it governs. If you want to tweak a specific piece of hardware in your system, the background is probably saved in HKLM; settings for your user account usually appear in HKU or HKCU.
Before you make any changes to the Registry, update your backup files. The Registry Editor makes backing up specific keys, or even the full Registry, very simple. To back up the total Windows Registry, highlight Computer in the left pane of the Regedit dialogue box, go to the File menu, and click Export. Name your backup file in the resulting dialogue box and click Save, and the full Registry will be saved in one massive file. Keep this file handy on a separate hard drive; if something goes ill-treat, you can always re-import it to restore your ancient Registry settings.
You probably won’t need a backup of the full Registry, but. Over the course of this article, to a fantastic degree be altering only a few keys, so you can limit yourself to making backups for just those keys. Backing up specific keys follows the same administer as backing up the full Registry, except that instead of highlighting ‘Computer’ in the left pane of the Regedit dialogue box, you select the key that you plot to alter, and export it to a safe place. To restore the backed-up Registry key, double-click the file–it will automatically update your Registry with the ancient key.
Edit Your Context Menus
Over time, as you install more and more applications and utilities on your Windows system, some right-click context menus (the small menus that pop up when you right-click icons or your desktop) may become cluttered with options. In contrast, most right-click context menus on a clean system list only a few options. If your context menus have become cluttered, it’s time to clean house.
Typically, the options listed in your context menus are stored in these five Registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellEx
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
If you’d like to remove a context menu option, look for its listing in one if these keys. To remove it, highlight the specific key, right-click it, and choose Delete from the menu. Be sure to highlight only the specific key for the context menu item you want to remove, and not the main ContextMenuHandlers, Shell, or ShellEx keys; otherwise, you’ll delete the full menu.
Add ‘Open Command Prompt Here’ Option for Any Folder
Though they have fewer and fewer reasons to do so, some users (including me) like to perform tasks from a command line. Unfortunately, navigating the myriad folders on a Windows 7 system from a command prompt can be a pain, especially if many of them have long file names.
But it’s simple to arrange for Windows 7 to open a command prompt dialogue box automatically in the directory being viewed. To do this, open the Registry Editor and navigate to the HKCR\Directory\Social class\shell key. Highlight shell; right-click it; and choose New, Key from the menu. Name the new key Open Command Prompt Here. Once you’ve produced the new key, highlight it and again choose New, Key from the menu. Make a further key named command. Highlight the newly produced command entry, and you’ll see in the right Regedit pane that a default string value has been automatically produced. In the right pane, highlight (Default), right-click it, and choose Modify from the menu. In the Edit String dialogue box that opens, type cmd.exe, click OK, and close the Registry Editor. When you’re done, right-click the social class of your desktop (or any folder in Windows Explorer) and choose Open Command Prompt Here to open a command prompt with a command line pointing to that directory.
Add a Defrag Option When Right-Clicking Hard Drives
For most Windows users, defragging a hard drive entails opening the Computer menu or the Libraries menu, right-clicking the drive, selecting Properties from the menu, clicking the Tools tab at the top of Properties dialogue box, and finally clicking the Defragment Now button. Here’s how to arrange to launch the Windows Disk Defragmenter austerely by right-clicking your hard drive.
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the HKCR\Drive\shell key. Highlight shell; right-click it; and choose New, Key from the menu. Name the new key runas. After you make it, a default string value should be automatically appear in the right Regedit pane. Highlight the runas key in the left pane, right-click (Default) in the right pane, and choose Modify from the menu. In the subsequent Edit String dialogue box that opens, enter Defragment and click OK.
Next, highlight the newly produced runas key again, right-click, and choose New, Key from the menu once more. Make a further key named command. Highlight command and, in the right pane, highlight the (Default) value that was automatically produced; then right-click it, and choose Modify from the menu. In the Edit String dialogue box that opens, type dfrgui.exe, click OK and close Regedit. Now, when you right-click a drive in the Computer dialogue box or the Libraries dialogue box, the Defragment option should be available.
Pin Applications to Your Social class Context Menu
Windows 7 affords users multiple areas to pin shortcuts for their favorite applications. But what if you have an application or utility that doesn’t warrant a prime piece of real estate in your Taskbar or Start Menu? Well, you can neatly tuck those apps away in your right-click context menu for quick access.
To pin an application to a context menu, open the Registry Editor and navigate to the HKCR\Directory\Social class\shell key. Highlight shell, right-click it, and choose New, Key from the menu. Name the key whatever you like; we chose CCleaner, since we resolute to add a shortcut to that handy cleaning utility to our menu. Once you’ve produced your new key, highlight it, and again choose New, Key from the menu. Make a further new key named command.
Next, highlight command and once again you’ll see that an automatically produced default string value now appears in the right Regedit pane. In the right pane, highlight (Default), right-click it, and choose Modify from the menu. In the Edit String dialogue box that opens, enter the path to the executable for the application that you’d like to run; in our case we entered “C:\Program Files (x86)\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe” (including the quotes). Click OK, and then close Regedit. Henceforth, anytime you right-click your desktop or the social class of a folder, you can launch the application with a single click.
Disable Notification Balloons
Few equipment are more annoying to experienced users than the balloon tips that pop up in the notification area on a freshly installed copy of Windows. Thankfully, they are simple to disable with a quick Registry hack.
Open the Registry Editor, navigate to the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced folder, and highlight Advanced. You’ll see a number of strings and DWORD values listed in the right Regedit pane. Right-click a bemused part of the right pane; choose New, DWORD Value from the menu; and name it EnableBalloonTips. After making the new DWORD value, highlight EnableBalloonTips, right-click it, choose Modify from the menu, and enter a value of 0 (the value will probably be set to 0 automatically). Close Regedit, restart your machine, and the balloon tips should be gone for excellent!
Have Disk Cleanup Delete (Effectively) All Files
By default, when you run a disk cleanup on a Windows 7 system, the operation will limit itself to deleting temporary files that are at least seven days ancient. Since there are few reasons to keep temp files for that long, but, let’s look at how to arrange to delete any temp file that’s at least one day ancient.
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Temporary Files key. Click the Temporary Files key to highlight it, and in the right Regedit pane you’ll see a DWORD value named LastAccess that has a value of 7 associated with it. Highlight LastAccess, right-click it, and choose Modify from the menu. In the edit dialogue box that opens, exchange the Value data to 1, and click OK. Exit Regedit, and you’re done. After you’ve made that exchange, a disk cleanup will delete any temporary file that is more than one day ancient.
Add ‘Take Ownership’ to Right-Click Context Menu
Quicker or later you’ll probably come across a file that you can’t access for some reason, despite being logged in as an Administrator. In situations like this, taking ownership of the file or directory can help you gain access to the file, but the administer is somewhat tedious. With some Registry control, but, taking ownership of a file or directory is just a right-click away.
Instead of walking you through this administer, though, to a fantastic degree clarify how to complete it in one fell swoop. First, select and copy all of the text listed below:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
@=”Take Ownership”
“NoWorkingDirectory”=”"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]
@=”cmd.exe /c takeown /f \”%1\” && icacls \”%1\” /grant administrators:F”
“IsolatedCommand”=”cmd.exe /c takeown /f \”%1\” && icacls \”%1\” /grant administrators:F”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@=”Take Ownership”
“NoWorkingDirectory”=”"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@=”cmd.exe /c takeown /f \”%1\” /r /d y && icacls \”%1\” /grant administrators:F /t”
“IsolatedCommand”=”cmd.exe /c takeown /f \”%1\” /r /d y && icacls \”%1\” /grant administrators:F /t”
Once you’ve copied all of that text, paste it into a new Notepad (or any basic text editor) document, and save the file with a *.reg extension; name it take-ownership.reg, for example. After saving the file, double-click it, follow the on-screen prompts, and add all of the keys to the Registry. Now you can right-click a file or folder and choose Take Ownership from the menu if you can’t access or edit for some reason.

Nokia Windows 8 Tablet PC to Arrive in Q4 2012

Nokia Windows 8 Dosage PC to Turn up in Q4 2012 – Finnish mobile buzz maker Nokia is getting ready for the release of a dosage PC in succession under Microsoft’s new Windows 8 platform, and might have it launched before the end of this year.Some of the newest reports around the web suggest that the mobile buzz maker could release the device in the fourth split up of the year. But, no specific details on the launch date have emerged until now.The upcoming device should hit the market with a dual-core Qualcomm SoC inside, and is expected to feature a 10-inch touchscreen show.

 

According to a recent article on DigiTimes, the fourth split up of the current year is the original timeframe Nokia would have the said device available for buy.This comes in line with Microsoft’s supposed launch timeframe for the next-generation operating system.Windows 8, currently available for a free download as a Consumer Preview, is expected to hit full release status sometime in the last split up of the year, most probably in October.

When released, the platform will be loaded on touch-enabled devices too, including dosage PCs that feature x86 or ARM application processors.Apparently, Nokia too has teamed with both Microsoft and Qualcomm to have its own such device available for buy, and it might unveil the dosage as soon as Windows 8 is officially launched in a final flavor.

Sources familiar with the matter aver that the company will outsource the production of 10-inch tablets to Compal Electronics, and that it already expects initial shipments of over 200,000 units.Nokia’s WoA (Windows on ARM) device will certainly help Microsoft’s plans to gain market share on the dosage segment, where Android and iOS are the current leaders.

For the time being, nothing has been confirmed on the said Nokia dosage PC. But, this is not the first time we hear rumors on it and, agreed the tight relationship between the Finnish vendor and Microsoft in the smartphone area, we would not be bowled over at all if the formal publication is made soon.
