Tech News Beats

Facebook was serious right from the beginning about security. It had taken measures like one cannot see your complete profile unless you add as a friend. At the turn of 2010 Facebook again upgraded it security and privacy features. I found a few good tips which can help you. So thought of sharing it here. Recently, I saw in Rediffmail asking its users prominently not to click on any suspicious link in their account. Likewise, do not click on any link in facebook if you feel suspicious. As Facebook also allows various applications to connect to your account, so you should be careful while deciding which application to allow.

It came to notice earlier that if your account is hacked then it may be used to sent unsolicited comments on other’s wall which lead to you being labeled as a spammer. So follow the best practice be safe. Happy social networking!

Review your security at Facebook from time and try keep yourself updated. Go through the complete privacy settings to have a first hand understanding. This way you will know where you stand.

I am glad to break the news that technewsbeats.com is now out of the harmful site list of Google search engine. As I mentioned in the earlier post, the issue was with some malicious codes which were there in the free website templates I was using. This malicious codes downloads stuffs on the website users computer without their permission and sometimes even redirect users to other sites. It also attacked my wordpress installation files and injected malicous codes over there. However, you can clean than as I did. This things happen mostly when your FTP password is compromised. So first change your FTP password and then remove any malicous codes you may find apart from codes which are required for the template. The codes may have “eval”, “escape” and may have number of digits and alternating %. Just remove them and upload the newly saved file. To clean the wordpress, you will have to remove all the old wordpress installation files and uploaded a newly downloaded one. This should do the job. In case Google has flagged your site, then after cleaning the site, file for a review. If they find your site clean, Google will clear it.

So as I mentioned technewsbeats.com is has been cleaned and cleared by Google of any badware. It is fully safe now.
