Know To Disable Error Reporting In XP

The error reporting feature in Windows XP is turned on by default but you may want to disable error reporting for privacy concerns, if you're not connected to the Internet all the time, or to simply stop being alerted by it.


Error reporting works by prompting you after a critical error in the operating system or in other programs and asking permission to notify Microsoft about it. This way, Microsoft can gather technical information about serious errors from millions of users, helping them develop fixes and service packs.

If you'd like to disable error reporting, follow the easy steps outlined below.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: Disabling error reporting in Windows XP usually takes less than 5 minutes

Here's How:

1.Click on Start and then Control Panel.

2.Click on the Performance and Maintenance link.

Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, double-click on the System icon and skip        to Step 4.

3.Under the or pick a Control Panel icon section, click on the System link.

4.In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.

5.Near the bottom of the window, click on the Error Reporting button.

6.In the Error Reporting window that appears, choose the Disable error reporting radio button and click the OK button.

Note: I would recommend leaving the But notify me when critical errors occur checkbox checked. You probably still want Windows XP to notify you about the error, just not Microsoft.

7.Click the OK button on the System Properties window

8.You can now close the Control Panel or Performance and Maintenance window.

Tips: Not a Windows XP user? See How Do I Disable Error Reporting in Windows? for specific instructions for your version of Windows.

News:Facebook to undergo privacy checks for 20 years

WASHINGTON: Social networking giant Facebook will be subjected to two decades of regular privacy checkups and other penalties, as part of a settlement finalised by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The FTC agreement implicated that Facebook must now obtain 'consent' before sharing a user's information with advertisers or others, which differs from its current privacy settings, and also bars the social site from misrepresenting its privacy and security practices again.

The settlement has the same outlines as the agreement, which FTC reached with Google in 2011 over that company's botched rollout of the Buzz social network, Politico reports.

The FTC faulted Facebook in 2011 for the way the company had handled users' private information, and allowed access of third-party apps.

Among other slip-ups, in December of 2009, Facebook changed its site in ways, which resulted in the private information of users being available to the public, the report said.

The FTC also charged Facebook with misrepresenting the sort of information that it shared with advertisers, and said that the social site wasn't clear with users about the fate of their photos and videos, upon deletion of their accounts, as some of the content didn't disappear, contrary to what the site states, it added.

How To Change The Footer Link Of Blogger

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have not checked the Blogger Terms and Conditions to find out whether you are allowed to remove the Attribution.   Even if they don’t mention it today, a requirement to keep the statement could be added tomorrow.   This advice does not mean that I, or Google/Blogger, are saying that you should/can/may/must remove the attribution statement.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Frnds here is the way of changing or removing blogger footer link.

1  Go to Design > Edit HTML.

2  Take a backup:

Download a copy of your template:  this is a backup – save it somewhere safe, in case things go wrong.

3  Click Expand Widgets, so you can see all the code

4  Find this section in the template:

<!– outside of the include in order to lock Attribution widget –>
<b:section class=’foot’ id=’footer-3' showaddelement=’no’>
<b:widget id=’Attribution2' locked=’true’ title=” type=’Attribution’>
<b:includable id=’main’>
<div class=’widget-content’ style=’text-align: center;’>
<b:if cond=’data:attribution != &quot;&quot;’>
<data:attribution/>
</b:if>
</div>
<b:include name=’quickedit’/>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>

4  Comment-out the code that displays the Attribution gadget, by putting it inside these characters  <!–   –>    so it ends up looking like this

<!– outside of the include in order to lock Attribution widget –>
<!– <b:section class=’foot’ id=’footer-3' showaddelement=’no’>
<b:widget id=’Attribution2' locked=’true’ title=” type=’Attribution’>
<b:includable id=’main’>
<div class=’widget-content’ style=’text-align: center;’>
<b:if cond=’data:attribution != &quot;&quot;’>
<data:attribution/>
</b:if>
</div>
<b:include name=’quickedit’/>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
–>

5  Preview the template change, to check that everything is ok.  If not, fix the problem.

6  Click Save Template

7  As the template tries to save, you will get a warning message:

Warning: Your new template does not include the following widgets:
Attribution3
Would you like to keep these widgets on your blog or delete them?
Deleting widgets cannot be undone.

Click Keep Widgets:  This will leave an attribution Gadget in the set of Widgets that your blog has data about, even though it’s not actually showing it on the screen.

Kaspersky :Virus found in Middle East that can spy on finance transactions.

BOSTON: A new cyber surveillance virus has been found in the Middle East that can spy on financial transactions, email and social networking activity, according to a leading computer security firm, Kaspersky Lab.

      A new cyber  surveillance virus has been found in 

      the Middle East that can spy on financial

      transactions, email and  social networking 

      activity, according to a leading computer 

      security firm, Kaspersky Lab.

Dubbed Gauss, the virus may also be capable of attacking critical infrastructure and was built in the same laboratories as Stuxnet, the computer worm widely believed to have been used by the United States and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear program, Kaspersky Lab said on Thursday.

The Moscow-based firm said it found Gauss had infected personal computers in Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian Territories. It declined to speculate on who was behind the virus but said it was related to Stuxnet and two other cyber espionage tools, Flame and Duqu.

"After looking at Stuxnet, Duqu and Flame, we can say with a high degree of certainty that Gauss comes from the same 'factory' or 'factories,'" Kaspersky Lab said in a posting on its website. "All these attack toolkits represent the high end of nation-state-sponsored cyber-espionage and cyber war operations." 

Kaspersky Lab's findings are likely to fuel a growing international debate over the development and use of cyber weapons. Those discussions were stirred up by the discovery of Flame in May by Kaspersky and others. Washington has declined comment on whether it was behind Stuxnet.

According to Kaspersky Lab, Gauss can steal Internet browser passwords and other data, send information about system configurations, steal credentials for accessing banking systems in the Middle East, and hijack login information for social networking sites, email and instant messaging accounts.

Modules in the Gauss virus have internal names that Kaspersky Lab researchers believe were chosen to pay homage to famous mathematicians and philosophers, including Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, Kurt Godel and Joseph-Louis Lagrange.

Kaspersky Lab said it called the virus Gauss because that is the name of the most important module, which implements its data-stealing capabilities.

One of the firm's top researchers said Gauss also contains a module known as "Godel" that may include a Stuxnet-like weapon for attacking industrial control systems.

Stuxnet, discovered in 2010, spread via USB drives and was designed to attack computers that controlled the centrifuges at a uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, Iran.
