How to opt-out all ads in browser using AdChoices?

-
There are ads everywhere. The Internet is not the same as it was some years ago. AdChoices is a self-regulatory program for online internet-based advertising that exists in the United States, Canada and across Europe. The program calls for advertising companies to establish and enforce responsible privacy practices for interest-based advertising, aimed to give consumers enhanced transparency and control. Companies adhere to a set of principles that are enforced by accountability programs.

So, there we go. Let's dig into it.

When you're seeing any ad just click on the AdChoices icon to get to your settings. Or alternatively you can directly goto the site of YourAdChoices.

AdChoices Logo

On the home page, head over to Control.

Now select Visit the Consumer Choice Page



It will redirect you to WebChoices.


Then follow the steps in the wizard.

It will take some time and show you the results.

Then hit Continue.


Opt-out the ones you want or simply select all.


After completion, you'll be shown:



Then View Updated Results.


That's it.


This will work until your cookies are preserved. So to prevent your required cookies from bing deleted you can install the Extension Protect My Choices for your browser. This one is for Chrome:


 You can find the extention for Firefox, Internet Explorer or any other easily.

So that's how we do it.

How to verify your downloaded files using MD5 Checksum on Windows?

-

MD5 stands for Message Digest version 5 . The MD5 algorithm takes a file (the “message”) of any size, and reduces it down to a code that looks like this: “ac30ce5b07b0018d65203fbc680968f5″ (the “digest”). The brilliant thing about the MD5 algorithm is that if the message changes by so much as a single byte, it will produce a completely different digest. An MD5 sum is a string of letters and numbers that acts like a fingerprint for a file. If two files have the same MD5 sum, the files are exactly alike - which is why MD5 "fingerprints" can verify whether or not your downloaded file got corrupted in transit, hence it is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare th...

The World of Technology

Without technology, our lives wouldn't be just the usual walk in the park daily routine. Technology is a huge contributor to the well being of human kind. Just try to imagine how hard it would be to make it through the day without the simplest of technologies. We have grown by using the luxuries that technology provides that many wouldn't know how to adapt to the traditional and simpler methods. Technology has surely proven itself to be very beneficial, if not necessary. Some people may be confused on what exactly technology is? Technology is the systematic study of the methods and techniques employed in industry, research, agriculture, and commerce. These studies are then put to use in order to make daily life much easier. Some might think that technology is not necessary due to the opinion that it brings out the worst in people. The earliest technologies of all time are said to be made during the Paleolithic Era. When these technologies were made, language was a key factor in...

How to check your anti-virus is working or not using anti-malware testfile?

-

Say, you want to test your anti-virus program on your PC. Using real viruses for testing in the real world is rather like setting fire to the dustbin in your office to see whether the smoke detector is working. Such a test will give meaningful results, but with unappealing, unacceptable risks. Since it is unacceptable for you to send out real viruses for test or demonstration purposes, you need a file that can safely be passed around and which is obviously non-viral, but which your anti-virus software will react to as if it were a virus. The good news is that such a test file already exists. A number of anti-virus researchers have already worked together to produce a file that their (and many other) products "detect" as if it were a virus. It's called EICAR.COM anti malware testfile. It is also short and simple - in fact, it consists entirely of printable ASCII characters, so that it can easily be created with a regular text editor. So, without any further ado, lets get d...
