Gmail doesn’t need any introduction. Going through hundreds of emails a day without sweat is only possible with Gmail. When Google launched Buzz in earlier this year, it tried to take the easy route to the critical mass by placing the social media service inside Gmail. The 176 million or so users who opened their email accounts to find their contact lists compromised might not have been too pleased but they shouldn’t have been too surprised.
Gmail has always been packed with all sorts of extra goodies from video chat to SMS messaging, including many that few people are aware of. In previous posts, we told you How to Use Multiple Gmail Accounts from One Account and 4 Tips to Send .exe Files via Email.

Spring-cleaning is usually relegated to attics and garages, but this season is the perfect time to attack the dust that has taken over your home or office PCs. You should clean your equipment at least once a year, more frequently for particularly dirty areas—but often, this aspect of equipment maintenance is pushed to the back burner.
However, the cleaning of the computers should not be for the sake of cleaning only, rather it has to be done in such a way which doesn’t prove harmful for your computer.

Have you ever tried to email an .exe file? EXE (executable) files run and execute embedded contents on a single click. This poses serious security risks and most mail servers provide anti-virus protection. This means they scan file attachments of emails you send and receive. Some providers even go as far as to block a number of file extensions by default.
For example, Gmail won’t let you send .exe files, even if they are archived in a .zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, or .gz file. Messages sent to you containing an .exe file will be bounced back to the sender.
So how do you unblock attachments to send or receive .exe files?
There are several simple tricks. (more…)

When we set-up the mouse2house blog we were sure we wanted to protect our blog from a hackers’ attack. After all, we didn’t want our valuable posts to be hacked in a couple of minutes. So we have created a Top 10 list, full of useful tips to protect your blog:
Hackers normally hack those blogs which are using an outdated version of WordPress or any other blogger platform. Therefore upgrading to a new version will reduce the chances of hacking. WordPress – the best and popular Content Management System – constantly keeps its database up to date with security measures.
Plugins are third party applications and WordPress is not responsible for any issue or risk that is related to any plugin. Hackers can try to hack your blog through installing plugins in your blog. You should only install trusted plugins in your blog and keep it updated to the latest version. (more…)
