Googleplus or Facebook

Google+, the new social networking from google is now talk everywhere. Well but whats all the discussion about? Did you get

an invite for Google plus? Ok if now you can eaily created one within minutes.

Myself, as a facebook addict because of the advertisements, scrolls and news running all around the internet, i too peeped into

this Googles new profile. From my observation I dont feel that google is really a competeter for facebook. Noway, Facebook is

facebook, it has got a certain flavour which will just rob the young minds.

The main attractions of the site being Circles, Hangouts and Sparks. Adding friends in circles is fun but going long it will be a bit

boring too. With hangout, you can do group videochats with friends on G+, and the Sparks which is just like following a page in

facebook.

Ofcourse , Google plus comes from the Googles stable, and hence you can find a "+You" button on the top of your inbox, but still

it doesn't mean that it cannot pull the crowd from others.

I personally feel that google is declaring itself as a strong competetor for facebook.After reading all this dont think I am opposing

or hating this. No Social network is fun without friends and G+ is no exception.

TEST THE WORKING OF YOUR ANTI VIRUS

Hi, here's a simple procedure to test the working of your antivirus.

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



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

You can also place the myfile.com file in a ZIP or RAR file and run a scan on it so as to ensure whether your antivirus can detect the test string in the compressed archive. Any antivirus when scanning this file will respond exactly as it will do for a genuine virus/malicious code. This test will cause no damage to your computer even though the antivirus will flag it as a malicious script. Hence it is the safest method to test the proper functioning of any antivirus.

I used to be active blogger fairly long time back, but later with the increase in work, could not spend much time to find resources for continuing it. Now again after reading several blogs and certain articles regarding this topic, today I want start with this as my first post in http://theharsha.blogspot.com/ .
