Double keys for Gmail account safety!

In these days of much email usage hacking of passwords is frequent. So, security of email accounts has become of utmost importance to everybody using them. Gmail has come forward to offer its users a safe and secure process like that used by Internet banking services. It is a two step verification feature that identifies you as the real owner of the account. The first verification is done by using the password that you enter and the second one is done with a code sent by Google to your mobile phone through SMS. To opt for this double security service, enter 'Using 2-Step verification' through your Account settings, Personal settings and Security. It takes about only 15 minutes for the enrolling process. After enabling the verification, each time you log in a code will be requested. Then the code sent to the mobile should be entered before being allowed into the account usage.

Defying Malware's urging!

As I was searching for images in Google.com with the search words, ‘Spit bugs’, I clicked on an image that displayed a dracula-like woman. It led me through a website (www.dale.se/msi-aquatic-bugs/) to another one (www.islandeyes.com). Then a web page that exactly resembled MY COMPUTER page (of Windows XP) appeared. In it each folder was shown in red coloured words to have a varying quantity of viruses. Then, a dialogue box opened and urged to click on the ‘remove’ button to remove all those viruses from the folders! I was worried and stunned first. But I then deleted the page by clicking on the Close button (X). I scanned the computer for any infecting viruses. But there were no viruses at all. That proved that there was a malware or a spy ware programme. To get a screen-shot of the website, I repeated all it again. But I could not get that web page again! Do you have such an experience? Share it with me.

Easier file uploading in Google Docs

In my earlier blogging experience with Google Docs, I met with much difficulties in uploading and getting any computer file-copy in it. (Read about them in my earlier posts in this blog). Then I had to make the file suitable in Google Docs, and even in Blogger's Post Editor, before publishing it as a blog post. Now Google Docs has made it simpler to convert it to its own format. How does it provide this conversion? Read on:
Click the tab, Upload .. and in the page of Upload File, use 'Drag and drop files here' box for transferring copy of your file. Check boxes for converting the file to Google Docs format. Click on 'Start upload' tab ---> You have now your file copy in a Google Docs file page! Save it and use it as you wish.
