10 Tips For Computer Safety When Browsing The Internet

The Internet is a scary place—and it’s only gotten scarier in the last few years of professional fraud and scams, so we’ve written down 10 tips for computer safety when browsing the Internet to help you keep yourself safe. Previously we have written about how to protect your computer from viruses, virus removal software, and even tips to speed up your computer, however the following tips are important for computer safety when browsing the internet.

Conversion and backup your bookmarks easily with Transmute

 Ways to move bookmarks between Internet Explorer (IE) to Firefox is clear in theprevious guidance of our so also between other browsers such as Chrome, Safari,Opera ..., why? In this case, you can ask to Transmute.


>> Convert bookmarks between IE and Firefox As you know, the bookmark is a list offavorite sites are marked on your browser for easy access later. However, sometimeswhen you are using this browser and want to switch browsers to use a newer but stillafraid because they do not want to take time to "move" my bookmark list.

Backup your bookmarks Google Chrome

In Google Chorme unprecedented "export" bookmark. That will surely cause discomfortto transfer bookmarks to a different computer, backup etc ...


A program to support implementation of the above, you can download the programhere. But that still does not satisfy those who use Google Chorme because someoneused the shortened version (portable) or the installer should also differ on how to savebookmarks.

Here is a manual, which is on the path:
For Windows XP: C: \ Documents and Settings \ User Name \ LocalSettings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome \ User Data \ Default\Bookmarks.
For Windows 7:  C:\Users\User name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks.


There is a filecalled bookmarks, copy it into the corresponding folders on the new machine or newinstallations. Good luck!

30 Days With...Google Docs: Day 30

Day 30: What I Learned from Spending 30 Days With...Google Docs
Well, I made it. After a decade of daily reliance on Microsoft Office, I managed to survive an entire month using Google Docs. So, what has the 30 Days With...Google Docs project taught me, and what do I do now that the project is over?

I have to admit that the experience has given me much greater respect for Google Docs. As I pointed out in the Day 29 post, there are a number of things that I found to be unique benefits of Google Docs that Microsoft engineers should be looking to emulate in Microsoft Office.
Google DocsGoogle Docs performed admirably over the course of the last 30 days.On the other hand, there were also a number of things I really didn't like about Google Docs. One thing that didn't even make the list--because it is a proprietary issue that is probably not the fault of Google Docs--is that I repeatedly ran into formatting issues copying and pasting text from a Google Docs document into the PCWorld content publishing tool. Annoying things would happen, like taking a multi-word URL link in an article, and instead linking each individual word. Suddenly, five links in an article would turn in to 30 links, and I would have to go back through and manually clean those up.

30 Days With...Google Docs: Day 29

Day 29: Five Things I Like Most About Google Docs
The 30 Days With...Google Docs project has been a worthwhile experiment for me. Despite mycomplaints, pet peaves, and whining, there were also many things about Google Docs that pleasantly surprised me. Here are the five things I liked most about using Google Docs this month.

1. The Cloud. Having access to my productivity apps and data from virtually any Web-connected device, anywhere, and any time has its advantages. Google Docs provides a relatively consistent experience across different devices from Windows and Mac PCs, to Android smartphones and tablets,and on my iPad and iPhone--although Google Docs from theiPhone had some issues.
Google DocsIt wasn't all whining and pet peaves, there are some things I like about Google Docs too.2. Collections. It took a little getting used to, but once I familiarized myself, the idea oforganizing and categorizing files in collections rather than the files and folders I am used to on my PC made great sense. A file can only exist in one folder (although you could place copies or shortcuts in other folders), but the Google Docs collections let you organize a single file in a variety of ways. For example, a spreadsheet calculating expenses for a golf league can be tagged as a "spreadsheet", "expenses", and "golf" collections so that you can find and work with it in whatever way makes sense to you.

30 Days With...Google Docs: Day 28

Day 28: My Five Biggest Google Docs Complaints
We've come down to the wire on 30 Days With...Google Docs. The final three days will be spent reflecting on the experience, starting today with my five biggest pet peeves about Google Docs.

1. Browser Tabs. While many readers commented--some more nicely than others--or sent me emails to explain that there is an option in Document Settings to open new items in the current window, that setting seems to have a very limited scope. Although opening a document will use the same tab Google Docs is already in, clicking Documents from that open document will open Google Docs in a new tab.

30 Days With...Google Docs: Day 27

Day 27: Google Docs Scripts and Power Tips
With the month coming to a close on the 30 Days With...Google Docs project, I think we have established that Google Docs is more than adequate for creating simple documents,spreadsheets, presentations, and other content. Now, let's take a quick look at some of the features that power-users might appreciate.

For more advanced users, Google offers Google LookUp and Google Finance to automatically search for and add information to cells in your spreadsheet.By adding Google LookUp syntax to a spreadsheet cell, you can populate the cell with information stock data, country demographics, celebrity details, planets of the solar system, and more. Google says that the data can come from any Web site, but that certain sites like the CIA Factbook and Wikipedia tend to appear as sources more often than others.
Google DocsGoogle Docs has advanced features for power users too.To use Google LookUp, type "=GoogleLookUp("entity";"attribute")" in a cell. For example, if you want to populate a cell with "=GoogleLookUp("Michael Jordan" ; "average points per game")" Google LookUp searches to find out what Michael Jordan's average points per game was, and automatically populates the cell with "31.5".
