  • SCP Foundation

8/24/11

This is yet another hilarious website. The SCP Foundation "To Secure, Contain, and Protect". The authors have written 999 SCP fantastic stories. It's all about using your imagination. Think about something that creeps you out, then write it. It's a tad like the movie called The Human Centipede - but in a story. Enjoy!

Norton DNS is rather interesting and a good idea. In addition to having an antivirus and anti-malware, using Norton DNS as an extra padding puts you almost at supreme protection. Just don't forget strong passwords when signing up for websites.

From Norton DNS (Malware Site Blocking):
- Automatically blocks known unsafe and infected websites you don't accidentally download online threats
- Blocks phishing websites created by cybercriminals to steal your identity and your money
- Gives you a comprehensive overview of threats found on each site

Web-content filtering (BETA):
- Lets you block Web sites that contain content that you think is inappropriate or dangerous.
- Offers over 45 different categories of content that you can choose to block.
- Includes all the features of malware site blocking.

There are two ways to set this up. Either install Norton DNS onto your computer (for the non-techies) and for those advanced users your DNS address needs to be set to 198.153.192.1 or 198.153.194.1.

  • Nitro PDF Reader

7/25/11

NitroReader is a great alternative to Adobe PDF viewer. NitroReader is fast, safe and comes with many options that Adobe itself doesn't offer. It comes in both a free, and paid version. Best part of all - its not going to cost a fortune like Adobe does.

In addition to changing our passwords often, we need to make sure that our passwords aren't stolen and published on the world wide web. Everyone must accept in the modern world, you have a risk of been hacked. Hacking is a fact of life - and even though we cannot prevent it entirely - we can reduce the risk.

An additional way to keep your account safe is to use this tool. It will check its databases to see whether your email and password has been published to the world. It won't scan every database, but it will scan the popular ones like the LulzSec and Anonymous hackers databases.

This site is trustworthy - it will not store your email address. Media organisations such as the New York Times, CBC News, ComputerWorld, and more have endorsed this site. Site is encrypted so no one can eavesdrop.

Site has approx. 1 million records on its database.

  • PrivacyChoice

6/20/11

PrivacyChoice maintains a database of companies that track you. It offers solutions to prevent yourself from been tracked online. It also offers advice on how to opt-out of search engines like Google and Yahoo! Search. This site seems to be safe and genuine.

  • Malwarebytes

6/18/11

I have never had a problem with Malwarebytes'. It is fantastic and will run in addition to other antivirus software. Malwarebytes' helps eliminate spyware and malware that often antivirus programs don't pick up. The free version is an on-demand program which means it doesn't provide live protection like Norton and Trend-Micro. In saying this, it won't stop malware from getting onto your computer but will remove it once you scan your computer. On-demand software such as the free versions of Malwarebytes' and SuperAntiSpyware are compatible with live programs such as the ones mentioned above.

  • Rockmelt

Its a fantastic social browser and would be useful for those who are heavy on social networking. The browser is on Beta 2 and focused on Facebook more than most other social networking websites. Improvement needs to me made so that it works with a variety of social networking sites. I would suggest that this browser never replaces your original, i. E. Firefox.

  • Logaway

6/9/11

OK. Some might disagree but my personal advice to everyone would be to avoid this website. Reason? Well I tried confirming the website's TRUSTe sign and it is not registered. Further to this - I checked Norton safe web and one person commented on it. Guess who commented? "Logaway". The owner of the site - very unprofessional. It is however trusted by McAfee. Thus - I won't be giving more than a two star rating.

  • Letsname

Do you have a hard time figuring out domain names, then find out they're already taken? Well look no further! Generate some free to use domain names in seconds then register it! A useful tool indeed.

  • Weebly

6/9/11

I absolutely love weebly.com. Creating websites are often daunting but programs like this can assist even a complete noob create a professional looking website in hours. No need to know your HTML coding, etc as many gadgets are provided on this website already. All you have to do is drag and drop, that easy! Of course, if you're into HTML or like adding flash programs, you can do that to.

  • Diagnosia

6/8/11

After spending some time sniffing out Diagnosia, I found the site to be both professional and user-friendly. Its the premiere European source for medical drug information, as mentioned on the website. I think this site is a good idea as it can provide patients with more information about their medication. The website was designed and written by Doctors, so I would assume it would be quite accurate.

  • Alcatraz History

6/7/11

It was an interesting read and very informative. Gives some details about the inmates and the history of the prison. However - after have 10 minutes, my eyes got saw from the black background so I had to leave the website. Thus, I will give the site three stars.

  • Rainmeter

6/7/11

I have being using Rainmeter for some time now and I have become a very satisfied customer. This website lets you install a program onto your computer and have the ability to customize your desktop. Its very flexible and not one thing you cannot change.

  • Photobucket

6/5/11

I would love to give this website more then two stars but I couldn't. I'll explain why below:

The website is fantastic in general. Great picture quality and would be a fantastic way to share my photos with friends, and even the world!

The fact is the website is so slow and puts me off. I have a good quality and fast home connection, but this website seems to slow my connection down. Further to this, I cannot put photos up onto the website when others are on their computers as their connection disconnects when I put some photos up. Lastly, it takes an average 10 minutes for every 15 photos.

  • Zoho

6/4/11

I give three stars because I found several bad reviews on the Macafee SiteAdvisor. However - I started using it recently and haven't run into any trouble yet. Fantastic CRM and does support SSL connection.

  • Win Free Stuff

6/10/12

I love this website! It lists hundreds of active competitions going in Australia. I started using this about a month ago and entered about 50+ competitions already. Most of the competitions are trustworthy. Just read the terms and conditions before entering. I also suggest that you create a separate email address for competitions as you will start receiving lots of unwanted emails.

  • WonderHowTo

3/2/12

I love this website! Joined in December 2011 and started writing my own articles for WonderHowTo. When you have set up your own world, you can start earning 100% Google AdSense revenue.

  • Palmyra-city.gov.sy

9/24/11

Fake website. Doesn't look Government owned to me even though it's using the. Gov domain. This website is owned by hacking group Anonymous as seen on the symbol on the bottom right. It seems to me that this person wants Freedom for his country - but this is the wrong way to go about it.

  • Cryptome.org

9/24/11

I recommend not even entering this website. The site is like Wikileaks. It distributes classified information to the public that has being leaked via various sources. Most information comes from hacking groups such as Anonymous or LulzSec after penetrating government systems. Even though the information has been made public, be rest assured it doesn't mean the information has being declassified. Reading or even opening these documents could result in charges or significant prison times.

  • Solarsystem.nasa.gov

9/2/11

Do you have an interest in space and NASA? Have you ever wanted to watch what's going on in space this very moment and watch space live? NASA launched this website a few hours ago to the public that lets people view space in 3D live time. Watch space missions, watch Satellites (and know where they are now). Safe website. It's free and all that you need to view the site is a little ad-on which is provided on the site.
