How to Contact a person who has Blocked you on Facebook.


I was blocked by a friend  on Facebook  so I couldn't contact her,  I thought of creating another account so  that I could send a new friend request but midway I changed my mind. So the question popped.....
How can we send messages on facebook to anyone if we are blocked by them?
It is quite easy actually I researched and came across this awesome way of contacting them through email.
Log into your email account.
Compose a new mail
In "send to:" enter username@facebook.com
(eg: fb/rodgwizzideas, replace username with rodgwizzideas, so it looks like this rodgwizzideas@facebook.com)
Send it
Have fun your message will reach in their inbox. ASAP!

How To know if your antivirus Aint a decoration on your PC

--How to Test the Working of your Antivirus – EICAR Test--

We all have Antiviruses installed on our PC's but mostly they are rendered useless after sometime coz of various reasons like outdated virus definition databases etc.....It could begin to detect normal files as malware especially if it has been updated with a faulty antivirus signature database.

Have you ever wondered how to test your Antivirus software to ensure it’s proper working? Well here is a quick and easy way to test your antivirus. The process is called EICAR test which will work on any antivirus and was developed by European Institute of Computer Antivirus Research. This process can be used by people, companies and antivirus programmers to test the proper functioning of the antivirus/antimalware software without having to deal with the real computer virus which can cause damage to the computer. Here is a step-by-step procedure to test your antivirus.

1. Open a notepad (New Text Document.TXT) and copy the following code exactly onto it, and save the notepad.

EICAR Test code

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

2. Rename the file from New Text Document.TXT to myfile.com

3. Now run the antivirus scan on this myfile.com file.

If the antivirus is functioning properly on your computer, then it should generate a warning and immediately delete the file upon scanning. Otherwise you may have to re-install your antivirus.

NOTE: Most antivirus will pop-out a warning message in the Step-1 itself

Good-luck with yours......RODGWIZZ!

How to Visit blocked sites in school and Download YouTube Videos


How to visit blocked sites in school and Download videos from YouTube Simplified Edition.
Hey guys, it’s been long since I posted something but today I thought of sharing this awesome trick.
So I was actually looking for a way I could visit my favorite sites in school where they’re blocked/ filtered i.e. Facebook, YouTube and not to mention other much more…the list is actually endless.
 I’m gonna try and explain to my understanding how this works.
STEP 1
Download ultrasurf, Download
This will bypass your network restrictions
*UltraSurf is a lightweight freeware program designed as an anti-censorship tool. It allows to circumvent firewalls using proxies and employs encryption protocols for privacy. Other applications include protecting your security on public WIFI, hiding your IP address and encrypted communication.
 When started, Ultra Surf automatically finds proxy servers from a range of servers globally and builds a connection through an encrypted tunnel. The software executes without installation from a hard drive or portable media, for example USB drive, memory card or CD, and leaves no registry after shut down. Internet Explorer and Firefox are the currently supported browsers UltraSurf runs through.
STEP 2
Launch Ultra surf and visit your favorite site, I prefer you use Internet explorer since it doesn’t require any add-in unlike Firefox.
The good thing that I like about this trick is that you can download YouTube videos while using ultrasurf, without using any third party software. I tried a couple of times to use IDM but then I was caught in the middle since it could not bypass the network restrictions.
I guess I’ll explain that in the next step.
STEP 3
*Using Internet explorer go to youtube and search the video you want to download
*Now you have to make a small change in video link [ Replace "www" to "ss"]
For example
http://www.youtube.com/video link
http://ssyoutube.com/video link
*After that it will direct you to a site http://en.savefrom.net/
*From that site now you have to choose the format of the video like mp4,3gp,flv and also shows the video quality like 240p,360p,720p,1080p
From there I can say “Mission accomplished” Try this and let me know if it works for you.
