Kaspersky is my all time favorite Antivirus/Internet Security, I’ve been using it since from three years and I’ve got not a single problem with it, I tried Many antiviruses like Norton Antivirus, AVG, Avast etc but non of them really helped to keep my computer clean and running, either they used to slow down my computer or fail to catch under covers worms & Trojans.

Best part of it is that it is dirt cheap and they keep on updating it every hour. I always suggest my friends to buy it instead of trying to find some crack or key generator day and night. Today I was using Google Keyword tool to find how many people really search about Kaspersky Key and I noticed that lots of people are out there who wants free lunch and one funny thing is that they don’t even know the spelling of it like many people search keys with following names -

• key kasper 2009
• karpesky
• karspersky
• karpersky
• karpersky
• karspesky
• kasperskey
• karpesky 2009
• kaspersy
• kasperksy
• kasprsky

and it’s not by a single person but thousands of people are searching for it with wrong spelling. So I thought I should also search as my friends too keep on asking for it and intrestingly on first search with keyword “Kaspersky Key” I got to know about “Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 license key for 6 months“.

This promotion is nearly a year old but still it is active and you can actually get free license key -

To get one license key for you,

1. Visit this promotional offer page : http://kaba.msn.com.cn. (it is in Chinese language you can use Google Translator to translate it.) There they have given 3 different ways to get the key but I liked 1st one better .
2. You need to login with your Live or MSN Account and then Click on large orange button of 1st option:
3. After that they’ll send you Keys on you Live or MSN Account
4. You’ll get your activation Keys on your email address –

Now time for bad news, it only works with certain Chinese language version the software which you can get that at : http://www.kaba365.com/4640000.asp

but good news is that you can change Chinese version into English version by changing language settings, but you need to keep in mind that activation key will only work with Chinese language of Kaspersky,

1. So first Download Chinese version of Kaspersky Antivirus 2010
2. Get the Activation keys
3. Activate it
4. and the Change Chinese Language to English Language

How to Change Chinese Language to English Language

1. Open Kaspersky>Settings>Options, Uncheck ‘Enable Self Defense’ option.
2. Click Ok and Exit from Kaspersky.
3. Goto C:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010\Skin\loc
4. You’ll see 2 folders “en” and “sch”. Rename en to sch & sch to en and Restart your computer.
5. Done
6. Enjoy

One Last tip : The best way to enjoy 100% protection of Kaspersky is to buy license Key it is cheap and once you buy it you’ll get 100% peace of mind as Protection of computer is something which can’t put on stake with key generators or trial resetters and trust me these Kaspersky guys are very smart enough to put each and every loose Keys into black listed keys list.

This question really bothers me so I’m writing post on it -

To reset your administrator password, please begin with these steps:

1. Go to the control panel login page for your domain, or enter your domain name in the box below and click Go to get to the proper login page.
   

   https://www.google.com/a/youdomainname.com

2. Click I cannot access my account.
3. Click Reset your admin password.

If you were not able to make it this far, you might have gotten a Server Error when navigating to the control panel login page. If your control panel login page says Server Error, click herefor instructions.

By clicking Reset your admin password, you should reach a password assistance page with a CAPTCHA. Type the letters in the picture and click Submit.

If the reset your password link takes you to the help center instead of the page with a CAPTCHA, the automated password reset option is disabled for your domain. All domains with more than 500 user accounts do not have access to the automated password reset option. If you have more than 500 user accounts and can’t access your control panel, click here.

I Just figured it out!!!

Although it was launched 2 months back but I always thought it is based on invitation basis and only for selected silicon valley’s Geeks, but today I figured out that everybody can use it, the only catch is that for the time being it is bundled with Google product only (Google Chrome/Feedburner/Google Toolbar)

I don’t use Google toolbar as it is only available for Internet Explorer and Firefox. So for me best way to use Google URL Shortener is to use it with Chrome.

For that you need Google Chrome and Chrome Extensions, Once you install Chrome extension for Google URL Shortener, you can create Goo.gl short URLs with a simple click.

[Update : 20.02.2010] : Use Google’s URL Shortener in any Browser

Similaryly you can choose to deactivate following services

Today Ive created my Facebook username www.facebook.com/rajesh.rana, at first I intended to make rajeshrana, but it was showing unavailable later I found that facebook does not read “.” (dots).

like if you open http://www.facebook.com/raj.esh.ra.na then you’ll be lead to same page of my above profile

first I felt there is some bug cause I’ve got two user names for similar profile but later I found that facebook just can’t read dots in between the usernames.

So once you select an username for yourself you’ll automatically end up with two or more usernames apparently distinguish by dots.

Yesterday I installed Ubuntu Linux OS, everything went smooth, it hardly takes few minutes to install Ubuntu. Later I installed Wine to run Windows apps (Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix). First I tried to run UltraSurf cause without it I can’t even able to breathe coz our network pipeline is so much choked with firewalls and censorship I can’t even check my mails on Gmail.

So here is easy steps to run Ultrasurf in Ubuntu and Mac

Ultrasurf for Ubuntu Linux OS

1. Install Wine

http://www.winehq.org/

2. Download the necessary dll files
mfc42.dll
msvcp60.dll

Note: you can easily find them by Googling but when I downloaded from a site and used them it showed following error:

“The ordinal 6880 could not be located in the dynamic link library MFC42.DLL”

so my suggestions is to copy them from your windows operating system from file location ->C://windows/System

3. Copy the two dll files to
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

Note: if you go to file system and type ~/.wine at location bar then your hidden wine folder will get open then you can find above folders for pasting your necessary dll files.

4. Now run latest Ultrasurf and make sure settings like following screen shots.

Note: Goto options-enable Do not use IE option, set your networks proxy setting and then exit

5. Goto system-preferences-Network Proxy, Change your system proxy address to 127.0.0.1 and port to 9666

6. Now run Ultrasurf once again and enjoy the freedom

Note: while running Ultrasurf in Ubuntu it takes sometime cause it process through wine, just have little patience if it ain’t run.

Ultrasurf for Mac OSx

Just install the wine for Mac version and follow the above steps.

Good news Ultrasurf is much faster in Ubuntu than windows.

Here you can download latest version of ultrasurf

Download :  UltraSurf 9.95 (11750) and UltraSurf 9.92 (23677)
