Add-Ons For Opera

Now there is no such thing really as an “Add-On” for Opera because it is not called an Add-On. Rather, it is called a Widget and there are hundreds of them to download. You can visit Opera to download any of the thousands of widgets. One widget that I personally use is called Dotoo which is a reminder tool. I often forget about homework for my online classes which hurts my grade. For this reason, I started using Dotoo to create To Do lists so I do not forget. There are many other useful widgets on the site such as the one that will allow you to use change between proxies. To access your widget after you download it, just hit the Widgets tab between the Tools and Bookmarks button.

Completely Erase A Hard Drive

Did you know it is possible to recover a significant amount of data from a hard drive that was recently formatted? The reason so is because the data that was previously there was not completely written over, allowing thieves to recover the data. The only way to completely erase all the data from a hard drive is to use programs such as Darik’s Boot and Nuke, also known as DBAN. DBAN works differently from formatting a computer because it can completely write over the whole hard drive with random numbers. You cab boot from DBAN with either a flash drive or a CD/DVD. If you are ever going to sell your computer or give it away, make sure you completely erase all the data using DBAN.

Run Files From FireFox

The majority of my friends prefer to use FireFox but they always question me how to run files instead of save. When you open any sort of .exe file you will have the option to save it on your desktop then run it. This is tiresome because every time you want to run a file you have to download it and then open it. Luckily, there is an Add-on for FireFox that changes this. It is called OpenDownload and can be downloaded from the FireFox add-on page. How it works is, it will download the file onto your temporary Internet folder and then run it. After a certain period, the file will be deleted.

Download Limewire Pro For Free

Lets face it, Limewire is one of the most popular P2P softwares out there. It has been downloaded more then 140 million times at Download.com. What is funny is that Limewire Pro is not protected by a CD key or any other mechanism of software protection. Another thing is that Google indexes the pages of customer’s sales link, meaning you can download Limewire after someone elses purchased it. I am not condoning it but merely showing that a secuirty flaw for Limewire. To see for yourself, type “Sales.limewire.com” in Google using the ”site:” function. Click repeat the search with the omitted results included.

Now, most of the results will come up with nothing, but 1 or two links will allow you to download the pro version.

BSOD stands for the Blue Screen of Death and it represents  an error screen when a critical system error occurs. Moments after your computer will shutdown because it cannot run anymore.

Ironically it is made by Microsoft and it is completely free.

Human growth hormone deficiency can be a serious illness. HGH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that is responsible in the growth of us during puberty. When we are deficient in human growth hormones, many serious defects can arise from it. Luckily for us, their is a synthetic for of HGH called somatropin. When we do not produce enough HGH, it can lead in underdeveloped muscle and a short stature. Somatropin is an FDA approved supplement that can help people who are not producing enough HGH, however, it is not currently approved for those who are at normal production level of HGH. If you are athletic, obese, or aging then you can benefit from this supplement.

Free Webroot Firewall

Webroot, the developers to the award winning anti-spyware program is offering their Desktop Firewall at no cost to you. You might say, “I already have a firewall built in with Windows” but did you know that this firewall isn’t secure? Windows XP’s firewall is considered a one way firewall, meaning that it can only protect people from breaking in. In other words, Windows cannot stop programs from breaking out. This is where Webroot’s firewall comes in. It can protect you from people on the outside and programs on the inside because it is a Two-way firewall. This firewall can protect you from programs that run in the background and send your information out.
