Password Protect Bookmarks in Google Chrome

Want to protect your bookmarks from unauthorized access?? There is an easy way. Secure Bookmarks is a nice Google Chrome extension which allows users to add a password protection to their bookmark list. This is really a nice idea, if you share your computer with others. With the use of this extension, you can protect your favorite links from others.

After installing this extension to your Google Chrome web browser, You will see a star icon near the address bar. Clicking on this icon first time will take you to a new page which asks the password. Now you are ready to secure your bookmark list.

Whenever you want to save any link as bookmark, simple click at the star icon of the extension and then click on "create new bookmark" button. Save as many links as you can. To change the position on the list, you can simply drag the bookmark link to the new place.

You'll find three more icons in the top right corner of Secure Bookmarks.
  • First icon is to delete all bookmarks. You will be asked for confirmation if you press this button.
  • Second icon is to visit the Secure Bookmarks settings page.
  • Third icon is to Sign off to end your Secure Bookmarks session.

When you are done and going to close your browser or giving your system to someone else, click on sign off button.

Next time when you will try to access your bookmarks, it will ask for the password. Enter the password to access your bookmarks again.

NOTE: This extension does not allow any type of password recovery. In case you forget your password, you will have to reset the extension. And you will lose your saved links.

If you want to enjoy this extension in incognito mode, go to Tools >> Extensions (or type chrome://settings/extensions in the address bar) and expand the Secure Bookmarks entry. Tick the 'Allow in incognito' checkbox.

Set permanent delete on delete key

DEL key is used for delete and file and send it to the recycle bin in windows. Recycle is used to recover those files which have been deleted accidently. But most of the people do not use only delete button to delete files. They use shift+ del to delete the file permanent. For those people, it is better to set permanent delete on DEL key. Thus they do not need to press shift+ del key to delete a file permanently.


Follow these steps:


  • Click on start and then run.
  • Type gpedit.msc in the box and press enter. It will open a group policy window. 
  • Navigate to the User Configuration - >Administrative Templates
  •   >Windows Components>Windows Explorer
  • In the right side settings menu double click--Donot move deleted file to Recycle bin.
  • >click OK.

Now you have done. Delete the file anytime and it will not go to the recycle bin

Monitor goes out of frequency and does not display anything

Problem:
Monitors have a limit of maximum supported frequency (Refresh rate) for each resolution setting at which display is refreshed. When you set a high resolution with a high frequency that is not supported by the monitor, it displays a message Frequency out of range. Within a few seconds of setting the frequency if you press Esc key it will revert back to the previous resolution.
But what if when you are stuck with the same Frequency out of range and your monitor does not display anything.
Don’t worry, we have the solution if your monitor doesn’t display anything

Solution:
1. Boot in VGA mode by keep pressing F8 key during boot-up.
2. Un-install the display driver
3. Set the display settings to some supported value
4. Restart, install display (video) driver and set the appropriate settings which your monitor supports.
5. Restart again and it is Fixed.
Tip: Most of old monitors don’t support 1024×768 at a refresh rate greater than 60Hz, so avoid setting this resolution at a frequency higher than 60 Hz if your monitor is an old CRT monitor.

How to check for safe file before downloading


On the Internet we download many files a day. Some of these are safe but some are infected by virus or other malicious programs. Although we use Antivirus programs to protect our system, but it will be much better to scan a file before downloading on your system. If the download source is unknown or new, then you must check.


VIrusTotal is an online security website which can help you in this. This website scan download links Worth more than 40 different security tools to check whether the file is safe to download or infected.
To scan for a file, right click on the download link and select Copy link address.
Now open new tab in browser and write Virustotal.com and press enter. In the new website, paste the link in the text field and click Submit URL. VirusTotal will send the link to its engine which will check the link against several URL analysis tools to see if the site is black listed as a malicious site already. 
After few seconds, it will show you the scan result. If nothing is detected in the scan, you can proceed with the downloading.




Integrating it with FireFox: This security tool is also available as add-on for the FireFox which is called VTZilla. So you do not need to go to the website each time you want to check a link. After installing this tool in your FireFox, you will see a new toolbar from which you can see the status of the website. It also add an option in the right click menu. just right on the link you want to scan and you will find an option " select Scan with VirusTotal." This option will open the scan results in the new tab for the selected URL.


Although the security tool use more than 40 scanners to check the website but you can not blindly trust on it. There may be the new threat on the link which is not listed in all the scanners. So you should use a good antivirus and Internet security solution on your system.


If you are Google Chrome user, you do not need to go for this tool. Just update your web browser. Latest version of Google Chrome has this security service in-built which notifies user when they try to download files from malicious sources.
