Hi, The Most Dangerous Web Sites For Your PC! Internet security company Norton Symantec has come up with a list of Top 100 Dirtiest sites, which could infect your computer with malware. Malware is a software that can damage or compromise a computer system without the owner's consent. Natalie Connor, spokeswoman of the anti-virus company, said that even visiting any of the named web sites could expose a computer to infection and put the personal information into the hands of unwanted people. "What people don't realise is when you type in a website, you're bringing down information on a page and with it could be malware," News.com.au quoted her as saying. The list was compiled with the help of global data collected on Norton Safe Web, a site that analysed web sites' security risks. The infected sites had on average 18,000 threats and 40 per cent of the sites had more than 20,000 threats, while 75 per cent of web sites on the list were found to be spreading malware for over six months. According to Connor, most web sites in the list had adult content with unprintable names, suggesting they contained hardcore pornography. Some others sites include those on ice skating, deer hunting, catering and legal services. Hackers can apparently obtain personal information using keystroke-logging software from both PCs and Mac computers. The reps said that hackers are a force to reckon with as cyber crime is increasing rapidly. She added: "The last thing we want to do is scare people, we want to educate them so they know how to protect themselves. "It's not about the fame any more of creating viruses and getting in the media. They're making money." Norton released a sample of the dirtiest web sites: * 17ebook.com * aladel.net * bpwhamburgorchardpark.org * clicnews.com * dfwdiesel.net * divineenterprises.net * fantasticfilms.ru * gardensrestaurantandcatering.com * ginedis.com * gncr.org * hdvideoforums.org * hihanin.com * kingfamilyphotoalbum.com * likaraoke.com * mactep.org * magic4you.nu * marbling.pe.kr * nacjalneg.info * pronline.ru * purplehoodie.com * qsng.cn * seksburada.net * sportsmansclub.net * stock888.cn * tathli.com * teamclouds.com * texaswhitetailfever.com * wadefamilytree.org * xnescat.info * yt118.com More Info http://www.hindustantimes.com/The-top-100-dirtiest-sites-enlisted/H1-Article1-445162.aspx This post has been promoted to an article

Hi, Hands On: 12 Quick Hacks For Firefox 3 Think you've seen all there is to see of Firefox 3's new features? Wait, there's more -- check out these cool and useful hacks. Firefox 3 has been out for two weeks now, so get with the program: It's time to hack it. The newest version of Mozilla's browser has plenty of new features, including the site identification button, the Bookmarks Library and what has become known as the "Awesome Bar" -- and I'll show you how to hack them all. You can also force the browser to use Gmail for mailto: links, discover a hidden "Easter egg" and more. So fire up your browser and get ready to teach it some new tricks. A note before we begin: One of the best ways to hack Firefox 3 is via about:config, which lets you change a wide variety of Firefox settings and preferences. Many of the hacks in this story make use of this nifty and practical utility. To use about:config, you'll always repeat a few basic steps: 1. In the address bar, type about:config and press Enter. 2. A message will appear reading "This might void your warranty!" Ignore that nonsensical warning and click "I'll be careful, I promise!" 3. In the filter box, type the name of the setting you want to adjust. You'll see that entry appear in the area below. (If the name of the setting is very long, typing the first part of it will generate a list; you can then pick the setting you want.) 4. Make changes to the setting as instructed. 1. Klaatu Barada Nikto! You may not know it, but Firefox has a mascot -- a robot that you can find in a hidden Easter egg in Firefox 3. In the address bar, type about:robots and you'll see the cheerful metal guy. The robot-related quotes displayed are from books and movies in which robots play a significant role, such as Blade Runner and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . If you look at the title for the page, you'll find what at first glance may seem to be gibberish: Gort! Klaatu barada nikto! In fact, that's the phrase used by Helen Benson in the science fiction classic The Day the Earth Stood Still , ordering the robot Gort not to destroy the Earth. 2. Tell Firefox 3 to Have Yahoo Mail Handle mailto: Links Until Firefox 3, if you used a Web-based e-mail account such as Yahoo Mail or Gmail, you were left out in the cold when you clicked a mailto: link. Mailto: links automatically begin an e-mail message to a specific sender, using your default e-mail handler. But with previous versions of Firefox, those links worked only with client-based e-mail software, and not with any Web-based e-mail programs. With Firefox 3, that changes. The browser includes built-in integration with Yahoo Mail -- if you know where to look. And although it doesn't have the same integration with Gmail, there's a way to hack it to make it do so. 1. Select Tools -- Options and click the Applications icon at the top of the page. 2. Click mailto, and select Use Yahoo! Mail. 3. Click OK. From now on, when you click a mailto: link, you'll be sent to your Yahoo! Mail account and a new e-mail will be created, to be sent to where the mailto: link directed it. (If you're not already logged into Yahoo Mail, you'll have to type in your username and password first.) 3. Tell Firefox 3 to Have Gmail Handle mailto: Links Gmail, surprisingly, doesn't show up in the Firefox list of mailto: handlers. But you can add it. Just follow these steps: 1. In the address bar, type about:config and press Enter. Ignore the warranty warning. 2. In the filter box, type gecko.handlerservice. 3. From the entries that appear, double-click gecko.handlerServiceAllowRegisterFromDifferentHost. This will change its value from false to true. 4. In the address bar, copy this code, exactly as you see it, then press Enter: java script:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto", "https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail") 5. Below the address bar, you'll get a message asking if you want to add Gmail as the application for mailto: links. Click the Add Application button. 6. Next time you click a mailto: link, a screen will appear that lets you choose an appropriate application. Select Gmail, check the box next to "Remember my choice for mailto: links," then click OK. From now on, Gmail will handle the links. As with Yahoo Mail, if you're not currently logged in, you'll first have to type in your e-mail and password, and then Gmail will create the e-mail.
