safe secure password
How Does Password Theft Happen?
There are several ways that hackers can gain access to your passwords, including:
  • Guessing them: Many passwords, such as sequences (1234), login names, your birthday, name or social security number, child's name, pet's name, etc., are easy to guess (particularly if you've shared this information with someone in an online chat room). Criminals also use sophisticated software programs that can guess thousands of potential passwords in just a few minutes.
  • Phishing scams: A phony e-mail or pop-up message that tricks you into divulging personal information, including your passwords.
  • Online storage: Thieves can sometimes find passwords stored online, which is why you should avoid using online storage.
  • Keystroke logging devices: Criminals can easily attach a keystroke logging device to a public computer (in a library, Internet cafĂ©, computer lab, etc.) that will allow them to see everything you've typed, including your passwords.
    Because a password is often all that stands between your personal information and a potential thief, it is imperative that you choose a good one. Here are 11 tips to create secure passwords (and how to remember them):

Acer unveils dual screen laptop

Acer has launched the Iconia, a laptop-cum-tablet computer with two touch screens. The new dual-screen laptop has two 14 inch displays, including one in place of a traditional keyboard.
The Iconia, which was unveiled at a press conference in New York, features two touch-screens protected by ultra-tough Gorilla Glass.
The device can be used like a traditional laptop, with the second screen doubling up as a virtual keyboard, or can serve as a tablet-style computer, reports the Telegraph.
A tablet computer is a portable computer equipped with a touchscreen as a primary input device.
Users can spread the desktop across both screens, or use one to watch a video or surf the web, and the other to write an email or edit photos.
The device features palm sensors to detect the position of the user’s hands, and automatically launch the virtual keyboard when needed.
Acer said the Iconia, which runs Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system, would introduce “a brand new tablet experience”.
“This level of commitment to touch technology is something no other PC vendor can compete with,” said Jim Wong, president of Acer.
The Iconia, which goes on sale in Britain Jan 8, will cost 1,499 pounds. The device uses Intel Core i5 processors, and a minimum of 4GB memory and up to 750GB hard drive.
The success of Apple’s iPad has prompted scores of consumer electronics manufacturers to launch their own rival devices.
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, which runs Google’s Android operating system, is considered one of the closest competitors to the iPad.

How to remove Virus from USB Drives



One of the ways by which a virus can infect your PC is through USB/Pen drives. Common viruses such as ’Ravmon’ , ‘New Folder.exe’, ‘Orkut is banned’ etc are spreading through USB drives. Most anti virus programs are unable to detect them and even if they do, in most cases they are unable to delete the file, only quarantine it. Here are the things which you can do if you want to remove such viruses from your USB drives

Whenever you plug a USB drive in your system, a window will appear similar to the one shown below

Don’t click on Ok , just choose ‘Cancel’. Open the Command Prompt by typing ‘cmd‘ in the run box. In the command prompt type the drive letter: and press enter . Now typedir /w/a and press enter.

This will display a list of the files in the pen drive. Check whether the following files are there or not

  • Autorun.inf
  • Ravmon.exe
  • New Folder.exe
  • svchost.exe
  • Heap41a
  • or any other exe file which may be suspicious.

If any of the above files are there, then probably the USB drive is infected. In command prompt type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* and press enter. This will remove the Read Only, Archive, System and hidden file attribute from all the files. Now just delete the files using the command del filename. example del Ravmon.exe. Delete all the files that are suspicious. To be on a safer side, just scan the USB drive with an anti virus program to check whether it is free of virus or not. Now remove the drive and plug it again. In most of the cases, the real culprit turns out to be the “Autorun.inf” file which mostly gets executed when someone clicks Ok in the dialog window which appears above. Thus the infections can spread
