Strong passwords: How to create and use them,do it yourself!
Sunday
Your passwords are the keys you use to access personal information that you've stored on your computer and in your online accounts.
If criminals or other malicious users steal this information, they can use your name to open new credit card accounts, apply for a mortgage, or pose as you in online transactions. In many cases you would not notice these attacks until it was too late. Fortunately, it is not hard to create strong passwords and keep them well protected. Password Strength & Password Security Your passwords are the keys you use to access personal information that you've stored on your computer and in your online accounts. If criminals or other malicious users steal this information, they can use your name to open new credit card accounts, apply for a mortgage, or pose as you in online transactions. In many cases you would not notice these attacks until it was too late.
Fortunately, it is not hard to create strong passwords and keep them well protected. What makes a strong password To an attacker, a strong password should appear to be a random string of characters. The following criteria can help your passwords do so:
Make it lengthy. Each character that you add to your password increases the protection that it provides many times over. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is ideal.
In general, passwords written on a piece of paper are more difficult to compromise across the Internet than a password manager, Web site, or other software-based storage tool, such as password managers. Create a strong, memorable password in 6 steps
Use these steps to develop a strong password:
#Think of a sentence that you can remember. This will be the basis of your strong password or pass phrase. Use a memorable sentence, such as "My son Aiden is three years old."
#Check if the computer or online system supports the pass phrase directly. If you can use a pass phrase (with spaces between characters) on your computer or online system, do so.
#If the computer or online system does not support pass phrases, convert it to a password. Take the first letter of each word of the sentence that you've created to create a new, nonsensical word. Using the example above, you'd get: "msaityo".
#Add complexity by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. It is valuable to use some letter swapping or misspellings as well. For instance, in the pass phrase above, consider misspelling Aiden's name, or substituting the word "three" for the number 3. There are many possible substitutions, and the longer the sentence, the more complex your password can be. Your pass phrase might become "My SoN Ayd3N is 3 yeeRs old." If the computer or online system will not support a pass phrase, use the same technique on the shorter password. This might yield a password like "MsAy3yo".
#Finally, substitute some special characters. You can use symbols that look like letters, combine words (remove spaces) and other ways to make the password more complex. Using these tricks, we create a pass phrase of "MySoN 8N i$ 3 yeeR$ old" or a password (using the first letter of each word) "M$8ni3y0".
#Test your new password with Password Checker. Password Checker is a non-recording feature on this Web site that helps determine your password's strength as you type. Password strategies to avoid................

Downloaded some files in the internet!? and feared of virus?backdoors? there are some tools which offer online virus scan for the files.. for free of cost well cheq these sites for online virus scan
# TREND MICRO : If you are being attacked by popular viruses, than you need to scan your PC with Trend Micro Housecall. This scanner easily finds and kills popular viruses. But on the other hand, rare viruses usually aren't found by “Housecall” and Trojan horses escape too. “Rootkits” has even bigger chance to hide from this program. visit |trend micro|
# F-SECURE : No virus will survive against F-Secure. Program perfectly kills viruses, Trojan horses and backdoor programs. Spyware and rootkits has a better chance to hide from F-Secure, that's why I also recommend scanning your PC with an anti-spyware. You should use Internet Explorer, because other browsers are not supported. If you are using Firefox 2, you can install an extension, which is called “IE tab”. It will make F-Secure think, that you are using IE. visit |f-secure|
# NORTON : norton is official file scanner for yahoo and i think no need of details. visit |norton|
# PANDA: “Panda” scanner will save us from popular viruses. Another good thing is that it scans our e-mail too. But on the other hand, this scanner doesn't perfectly detect Trojans and backdoors. visit|panda|
# Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner: That is the only one scanner, which works with Windows Vista. It perfectly detects popular viruses, but most of the spyware, Trojans, rootkits and other pests were not detected. And we also need Internet Explorer to use Windows Live Scanner. visit |microsoft virus scanner|
# Softwin Bitdefender Online Scanner: It kills all popular viruses, but most of other pests were not detected. I recommend this scanner only if you don't have many free HDD space, because this scanner needs only 13 MB. visit |bit defender|
# Symantec Security Check :“Symantec Security Check” is the worst online scanner. It perfectly detects viruses, Trojans and spyware, but the problem is that to remove any pests, you need to buy an ordinary anti-virus. visit |symantec|

We used to upload loads of files to various file uploading sites ( eg. rapidshare.com) for sharing among our friends for warez .... But all these services will have some time and downloading limits /you cannot download more than two files at a time/ . To overcome this we need to create a number of mirrors/alternate links for the same file/ of the same file in different services. But manually uploading the same file in different uploading services via a web interface is a tedious job./you need to bypass the waiting time limit,!!hell'O/ To make this easier there exists a service, the FTP2SHARE!
How to...... well this is a simple process.. you need to have one account for this it's free signup here., well register for a free account and upload your file,you will be receiving one url then simply pass it to your frens with whom you want to share that file
