Yahoo! has hidden this option way deep inside somewhere but I'm declaring it here in case there are people who want it anyway.
* Go to this address and click the "Cookies" link under the "Special Topics" column.
* Click the "Web Beacons" link under the "Reference Links" Column.
* On this page, click the "click here to opt out" link toward the end of the third paragraph under the "Outside the Yahoo! Network" title.
* After a while, a page that says you have been out of the monitoring program will load. Without doing anything, close that page or continue your usual surfing by typing another address in the address bar. (Do NOT click the "Cancel Opt-out" button, your action will be cancelled!).

The right mouse button is probably under utilized. Windows neither gives you good tools/features that can be accessed from the right click menu nor does it give options to customize the same.
Add some power to the right mouse button by using the following apps and tools. They could save your time, get tasks done quicker than you think and over the course of time, become so essential.
#1. Send To Flickr Upload photos to Flickr straight from the right click menu. A preview windows shows the progress of the upload.
#2. Send To Gmail Enter your Gmail login credentials, right click on any file and send it to your Gmail account. A quick backup solution.
#3. Send To Google Docs Right click on any document to upload it to Google Docs
#4. DeleteOnClick Adds an option to the right click menu to securely delete files so that they will not be recoverable later.
#5. Unlocker Windows gives an annoying File Cannot be Deleted message if you try to delete any file that is being used by a process. You can just right click and select the Unlocker tool to override this warning and proceed with the deletion.
#6. Image Resizer XP has got its image resizing Powertoy tool, but this one is for Vista users and users on 64 Bit OSes. Right click, choose the dimensions
#7. FileMenu Tools This app adds a whole lot of goodies in your Explorer sidebar.
Also, check out a similar tool called Open++ that can be used to add a range of custom options to your right click menu.
#8. ClickZap Double click on your right mouse button to quickly perform actions like muting speaker volume, shutting down Windows, minimizing or closing all Windows, or logging off.
#9. Clickie Path Name Copier Right click on any file/folder to copy its path to the clipboard. Can also be used to open the MS Dos Command Prompt in the selected directory.
#10. Rightload Adds right click context menu options so that you can upload pictures to Flickr, Imageshack, Tinypic, or an FTP server very, very quickly.
Bonus: If your right click menu is loaded with lots of options that you seldom use, check out Moo0 Right Clicker so that you can clean them up.
If you know of any other tools that add features to the right click menu, do suggest them in the comments.
Well, most of u must be knowing about RapidShare(commonly known as RS by geeks) already. Its the most popular file sharing site today. You have loads of stuff there uploaded by users around the world. These files includes possibly every game, software, movie or application on this planet.
How ?
But the question is why the hell does rapidshare allow u to upload the files on their server. Well its simple, i upload it n u download it. The more u download from RS, the more u are dependent on RS for your download needs. Now here is the catch, as a free user u have some limitations. You have a download limit, no multiple connections, no resume nor download manger support , limited bandwidth, limit of 100mb per file and the worst captchas(the images of letters u have to see n fill the letters in the box ).
Now u can get rid of them for that u need to buy an RS premium account which is not cheap. Thats how RS earns.
Want Premium Rs accounts for Free ?
Well, who doesnt like free stuff. You can get a free RS premium account for yourself. Create a free collectors account on RS and upload files n share with others, by posting links on internet forums, websites etc as RS doesnt provide any search engine to search its database(but you can still search RS read on). The file u upload must be greater than 5mb in size n needs to be downloaded by user using free accounts. You get one point for each download, and an account for i think around 8000points. Now that may be a little tiring, so u can try using your brain for earning points quickly.(my next post will be how to earn points quickly)
How to Search RS in Google ?
Just go to Google.com and punch “site:rapidshare.de/www.rapidshare.com” followed by:
“inurl:pdf” for Ebooks in PDF Format.
“inurl:avi|wmv|mpg|nva” for Movies.
“inurl:mp3|ogg|wma” for Audio Files.
“inurl:exe” for executable application.
“inurl:zip|rar|7zip|tar” for RAR, ZIP, 7ZIP or TAR compressed archieve.
There are sites like fulldownloads.us etc which index RS links n other download links, which you can use. But these sites normally need premiums which you need not buy coz i will give it to u if u want, just ask in comment with ur mail id.
Alternatives ?
Yes, there are altenatives as well but then with kind of popularity RS has, it seems to be zipping far n far ahead of competition. Few other examples of upload sites include megaupload, 4shared, megashare n many more...

Many Of us wonder how our Antivirus software scans for Virus,Worm,Trojan.We scan a Folder Or Local Drive for Virus but what actually happens during the Virus Scan Period??
5 techniques used by Anti virus program to detect malware:
1.Signature Based Scan.
2.Heuristic Based Scan.
3.Threat Sense Technology.
4.Artificial Intelligence (Behavioral Antivirus Programs).
5.Proactive Defense.
1.Signature Based Scan:
Traditionally, Antivirus solutions have relied strongly on signature-based scanning,also referred to as "scan string-based technologies". In signature based scanning anti virus program searches within given files for the presence of certain strings (also only in certain regions).If these predefined strings are found,then antivirus report A Threat has been detected.
Fact:
According to Macfee Lab, approximately 250 virus are released every day, so it's very difficult to catch all those viruses every day.So a new technologies are used to detect unknown threats as explained below.
2.Heuristic Based Scan:
The first heuristic engines were introduced to detect DOS viruses in 1989.Heuristic (hyu-ˈris-tik) is an adjective for methods that help in problem solving.A heuristic scan is used to detect new, unknown viruses in your system that have not yet been identified. Only some anti viruses can do this type of scan, the majority are only able to detect known viruses.
In this scanning, anti virus program searches instructions or commands within a file that are not found in typical good application programs. As a result, a heuristic engine is able to detect potentially malicious files and report them as a virus.
3.Threat Sense Technology:
In past when a virus was released it was detected by antivirus experts after 15-30 days. Till then virus had done enough damage to millions of users like "I love you worm". Then anti virus experts started using Threat Sense Technology.
In this technology , when a certain files does specious activity in computer, Av program doesn't perform any action and keep eye on that file. Next, when you update your anti virus these files are send to security experts of that anti virus that you are using. They analyze the file, if it is a virus then they make it's signatures. By this a virus is caught within 3-4 days.
4.Artificial Intelligence (Behavioral Antivirus programs):
These programs monitor you computer activities. If any dangerous or specious activity occurred by a file, they inform user and give some option to perform certain action.Now user has to take decision that is it a virus file or helpful file. Some times, if user takes wrong decision then the software which is reported by anti virus get corrupted and antivirus quarantined.
5.Proactive Defence:
One more technology is "Proactive Defense". It was first used by Kaspersky(My Most Trusted Friend).When a program or process gets executed, "Proctive Defense" tells the user about the activity of the program and asks it to allow or Block.
The Most advanced Proactive Defense is Provided by Comodo Internet Security.
Some Additional Information:
* Eset NOD32 uses Threat Sense Engine. Since it doesn't responds to the activity of the program till it get it's info from the Internet, it can be dangerous to the Computer.
* Kaspersky(My Most Trusted Friend) provides hourly updates. So it is Best in signature based detection.
* Bitdefender has a most powerful Heuristics analyser and Bitdefender 2009 has Behaviour based detection also. So it is a very good choice.
* "Norton Antibot" has world's best Behaviour Based Detection Engine and it stood 1st in the test conducted by CHIP Magazine with 100% detection rates. It is totally based on Behavior Analysis ,therefore never requires updates.
Now you can watch full-length Hollywood, bollywood movies and TV shows on Youtube.Youtube is a popular video sharing platform owned by Google. Youtube has partnered Sony, CBS, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, BBC, and independent film studio Lions Gate Entertainment to bring movies and TV shows via its Youtube video network.
Until now, Youtube was very popular for user generated videos.But now Google has decided to offer premium content in the form of movies and TV shows freely via Youtube. Apart from the Hollywood movies, you can also watch bollywood movies like Hera Pheri, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke and Deewana. However the movies and TV shows will be sponsored and supported by ads and the revenue shared with content owners.
Google had to find ways to monetize Youtube as it loses heavily on bandwidth costs through this video sharing platform.Youtube almost accounts for two-thirds of all video views in the U.S. It is also one of the most visited video sites across the globe. Youtube hopes to generate more revenue through these ads that are also placed into the ad breaks of TV programs, watched online.However the content that is currently offered, is more than a decade old, and it can only hope to do better than sites like Hulu, if it offers the latest movies and TV shows.
You can expect to see more Hollywood and and Bollywood movies on Youtube.Enjoy watching your favorite movies at http://youtube.com/movies !!

This tutorial shows how to bind .exe and .mp3 file to .exe ,and the file can be played.Maybe you know that,I'd just like to share my idea.My tool is the iexpress.exe.It can be found on your own PC,if you are using Windows NT/XP/VISTA.It can be run from the "run" window.(windows key + r).I search on the web, but there's no good method to bind them.So,Here is my method.
1. If you have an existing .exe file to bind then well good enough or else just create an .exe file.Open the notepad type something and save it with .exe file extension.
3. Run the iexpress.exe.
anything.Confirmation select No prompt.others as default.
5. Add your file.It must include 1 .mp3 file.1 .exe file(I test it with notepad)and 1 mp3 player(it can be found here C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe,also u can add your player)
6. Here the most important thing is the Install program it shoud be "wmplayer.exe \Villu-Daddy_Mummy.mp3" and the post file shoud be ur rats! Here it is TESTING.exe.
7. Final step Show window select Hidden. others keep default setting untill this step.
8. Package name and options must select "Hide File Extracting Progress Animation from User" next step select No Restart. then next untill create ur pe file.
9. At last let's change the icon of exe file.open the file with reshacker or other preeditor. change the icon. save the file :)
10. Double click the exe file (the file which u have changed the icon as Mp3 file) and enjoy the music from player and see the hidden .exe file which runs in task manager :)
