In the third and final part of series of articles about how to make you anonymous on the Internet, you can read about Dold.se. There is a Swedish anonymization that both encrypts your traffic and gives you an anonymous IP address.

Dold.se has since the launch progressed a lot. Originally offered the service only anonymous surfing with the browser and required the installation of a client to work.Nowadays Dold.se just as competitor Relakks make all traffic on the Internet from your computer anonymous.

To use Dold.se register an account on the site and then pay 50 crowns a month. After you register and pay up your machine to open a VPN tunnel to Dold.se's servers. The traffic sent between your computer and Dold.se's servers is encrypted and then outwardly makes your computer an anonymous IP address. The service has previously been criticized for being slow, but the capacity has been continually expanded and when I tested the service it worked as fast as competitor Relakks.

Little difference in the standard surf and chat is not marked and the total bandwidth loss, for one, stayed at around 1.5 Mbit / s. Worth pointing out is that I have a fairly slow DSL connection, probably get performance loss become more noticeable if you sit on a 100 mbit connection.

The hard drives in our computers is spinning at a substantial , and as with any other mechanical gadgets wear occurs. An ordinary hard drive in a desktop computer, rotates at 7200 rpm when it's working, while a regular drive in a laptop spins at 5400 revolutions per minute. You can calculate how many rotations it is about for a long workday.

The fact is that Windows and its file system keeps pretty good track of faulty areas on your disks, and lets just get to use them. The advantage is that you do not have problems. The disadvantage is that you rocked into a belief that one's hard drive works great and is flawless. A disk that has a few years old are rarely flawless ...

One sign that a hard drive is about to break, is that it sounds terrible. In the end, the coup de grace, with no loud clicking sound, followed by error message that you can not read or write to the device. Anyone who has been through a hard drive crash knows what I'm talking about. These would not come, and then it's good to replace worn-out hard drives in a timely manner .

You download CrystalDiskInfo from home. There is a link to a zip file that you download and unpack. Remember to unzip it into a new folder. The program needs no installation and can run directly. The tool is very easy to use, and I do not read much about it.

HD Tune

The program HD Tune is more advanced than CrystalDiskInfo. There are a limited free version, and a professional version which costs just under 300 dollars. If you are a home user who just wants to get basic information about your disk health, free version works great.

The interface is not as good as in CrystalDiskInfo, but there are more features. In the dropdown menu, select the hard drive you want to check. You can then switch to the tab, Error Scan and then click Start to do a scan for bad tracks on the disk. Please tick the Quick Scan for a simpler but faster scanning.

Try the programs and test how your disks are doing! Perhaps, the system hard disk to collapse completely, and then it's time to change before it goes too far.

Although many people make use of passwords in a responsible way, are still too many who only use an access key to any type of service.

Unfortunately, this is a technique that can lead to unpleasant consequences, bad because many of the network, continuously seeking new ways to steal passwords and exploit them to their advantage.

For some time the bad computer, make use of fake emails asking for confirmation of passwords and usernames and then access to bank information and other personal information. With exponential growth, even the social network for excellence, Facebook has become a favorite target from bad to get users' passwords. Undermining the Facebook account, criminals link to access email users, thus achieving a considerable amount of confidential data. People who use the same password for all online services, have much more to lose.

For passwords, it is recommended not to use information in profiles on Facebook, such as date of birth, your name or pet, and try to create passwords that are difficult to detect such mix letters and numbers is a great way to get access keys safer. Making use of secure passwords, delete e-mail confidential and be aware of how to move the bad guys, are all steps that we can put into practice. Moreover, it is advisable to use a single email account for business transactions, such as everything related to the bank, and another in place to register for various online services like Facebook. Of course, in addition to these behavioral techniques, use security software that can curb the virus attacks that try to infect computers, it is essential to reduce a phenomenon that in recent years has grown exponentially.

This action was taken to Saudi Arabia first, but other Arab states announced that they follow this path, such as the United Arab Emirates have announced that RIM will interrupt the service in October.

In Saudi Arabia some local news agency reported experiences of users, who no longer had the possibility to send SMS and access to e-mail services on the Blackberry. This is because the services of the house does not meet the requirements of Canadian law, and of course Saudi RIM has no intention for this to change its policy. But something seems to move. In fact, after four hours of offline, the services were restored. According to some sources, the mobile operators in Saudi Arabia, STC and Mobily, did everything they could to restore service, so that the interruption of BlackBerry service had not yet been officially notified, despite threats of Communications Authority to the Blackberry.

Currently there are no other reliable information, but it would seem that RIM is working on an agreement with the Saudi government to prevent a new block. The request by the Arab states is only one: RIM move servers within their own country so that governments can easily handle all the traffic data from users Blackbarry.
