Facebook will roll out changes today that will make it easier for our users to understand and control their privacy settings. As this change will have an impact on our users, we wanted to let you, a valued advertising partner, know about it. Please note that this change will not affect your advertising campaigns and there is no action required on your part.

Facebook is a company that moves quickly, constantly innovating and launching new products to improve the user experience. The feedback we heard from users was that in our efforts to innovate, some of our privacy settings h ad become confusing.

We believe in listening to our users and taking their feedback into account whenever possible. We think the following changes address these concerns by providing users with more control over their privacy settings and making them more simple to use.

Starting today, Facebook will:

* Provide an easy-to-use “master” control that enables users to set who can see the content they share through Facebook.  This enables users to choose, with just one click, the overall privacy level they’re comfortable with for the content they share on Facebook. Of course, users can still use all of the granular controls we’ve always offered, if they wish.
* Significantly reduce the amount of information that must be visible to everyone on Facebook. Facebook will no longer require that users’ friends and connections are visible to everyone. Only Name, Profile Picture, Networks and Gender must be publicly available. Users can opt to make all other connections private.
* Make it simple to control whether other applications and websites access any user information. While a majority of our users love Facebook apps and Facebook-enhanced websites, some may prefer not to share their information outside of Facebook. Users can now opt out with just one click.

I encourage you to take a moment to read our CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s blog post and check out the new Facebook Privacy Page.

Thanks,
The Facebook Ads Team

Some users partition their hard drives in to C:, D:, E:, F:, G: and so on which is actually not necessary even for a large memory slot. Mac, Linux can easily handle partitions of all size and even the multi-terabyte memory slots that are just coming up on the market; so you don’t have to worry much for your partitioning issue just contact an experienced computer support service providers and make sensible segments for strategic data management. In case of formatted hard drive you must recover the partition plan. Data recovery software applications work to undo partitioning format.

Before performing the act, let’s know what the process actually means. Partitioning a memory slot leads to divide the storage space of hard drive into specific data areas which are termed as the partitions. Your tech support pr computer help vendor might suggest some partition editor software or program applications that can create modify and delete the partitions whenever needed. Careful management of the size of the partition is essential as the ability to change the allotment depends on the file system installed on the partition. Directories and file formats get stored in different partitions in most cases.

However, some people think that having a separate partition for the specific files help users with developed performance. But, the fact is just reverse. The system performance gets optimized, according to computer support experts, when the swap files are on the same partition as the operating system. This is mainly because the task lessens up the movement of drive ahead. Now if you make the swap file partition too small it becomes easy to underrate the amount of space slot that the operating system will need over time.

More hard drive partitions no doubt provide more control but too many of partitions may become cumbersome. Computer support technicians therefore direct their customers to partition their memory slot with a serious estimation and consideration. The process of space management, access permissions and directory searching are implemented depends upon the type of file system your tech support vendor has installed on a partition. Therefore, careful consideration is so much important as the ability to change the size depends on the file system installed on the partition.

Considering the above fact, it is always wise to contact an experienced tech support to partition your hard drive even if you have made the formatting at yourself. Difficulties can crop up anytime. Initially you may go along with a smooth access with your data management and partitioning work, but in the long run it can cause sheer difficulty in simple access. In other words, if your partition get disturbed it may cause serious consequences.

Each year, the first week of April (coinciding with “April Fool’s Day”) brings an increase in spyware and malware infections. It’s become something of an annual tradition that causes havoc for computer users, lost productivity, and overall inconvenience. Not to mention potentially costing thousands of dollars in repairs.

We’re working hard to prepare for this onslaught and we’re up for the challenge. It makes sense, however, to remind computer users to be extra vigilant during this period of increased spyware activity:

Don’t open emails, files or attachments from people you don’t know.

Be extra cautious opening emails, files or attachments from people you do know.

Don’t be fooled by “scareware” tactics. Know what software you are using, and familiarize yourself with how it delivers warnings and alerts.

If you’re considering giving your social networking activities a break, now might be a good time. No one will miss you if you take a week off.

Stay away from websites that you haven’t visited before. Think before you click!

Run multiple layers of security software. There are many free and effective solutions that will co-exist well with each other. Remember, a single solution may not be enough, especially during this period of increased spyware activity.

We’re here and happy to help if you need anything. Our management team is happy to answer any questions you may have or address issues or concerns raised by your audience. If we can help, just let me know!

Stay safe online, and thanks again,

Mike

EUGENE, OR (January 19, 2010) – SUPERAntiSpyware.com, a Pacific Northwest developer of state-of-the-art security software, has released a new, portable version of its popular SUPERAntiSpyware anti-spyware/anti-malware solution.

“With the increasing complexity and variations of spyware and malware we are seeing, the infections often prevent all scanners from installing or working – we had to come up with a solution,” said Nick Skrepetos, founder of SUPERAntiSpyware.com. “The portable scanner, which can operate on highly infected systems, is effective as it does not need to be installed, does not require an Internet connection and can run from a USB drive.”

The new portable scanner harnesses the same powerful anti-spyware engine as the Professional Edition of SUPERAntiSpyware and references a spyware definition database that is updated at least once per day. It is free for personal use, and technician and corporate licenses are available. SUPERAntiSpyware Portable can be downloaded from http://www.superantispyware.com/portable

SUPERAntiSpyware, in use by nearly 25 million users worldwide, is an innovative product that protects users from Spyware, Malware, Adware, Trojans, Rootkits, Homepage Hi-Jackers, Worms, Dialers and Parasites. SUPERAntiSpyware focuses on detecting hard to remove spyware which other products often miss, or are unable to safely detect and remove.

In addition to the new portable scanner, SUPERAntiSpyware.com offers an online scanner and two versions of SUPERAntiSpyware. The SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition, a 100% free product, will detect and remove potentially harmful software from a user’s computer. In addition, the Professional version provides real-time protection against the installation of new threats, scheduled scanning and removal of threats as well as additional protective features not available in the free edition.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free and Professional Editions will detect and remove the latest rogue/fake anti-spyware products as well as the toughest of spyware infections such as Virut, Vundo, Rustock and well over 1,200,000 other harmful application components. SUPERAntiSpyware definitions are updated daily to protect users against the latest zero-day threats.

SUPERAntiSpyware is used by computer technicians worldwide to clean end user systems at companies such as Dell, HP, and AT&T. SUPERAntiSpyware is also recommended on popular security forums such as MajorGeeks.com, Wilders Security and thousands more.

SUPERAntiSpyware Professional is priced at $29.95 for the general public and includes updates for one year. SUPERAntiSpyware is available for immediate download from www.superantispyware.com. SUPERAntiSpyware is supported by Windows 2000, XP Home/Pro, Media Center, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista and Windows 7.

About SUPERAntiSpyware.com

Founded in 2004, SUPERAntiSpyware.com is led by Nick Skrepetos, a 30 year industry veteran, who is also the creator of the popular SUPERAdBlocker and SUPERFileRecover series of products.

It is generally assumed that script kiddies are juveniles who lack the ability to write sophisticated hacking programs or exploits on their own, and that their objective is to try to impress their friends or gain credit in computer-enthusiast communities.

200 OK

The request has succeeded.

201 Created

The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created.

202 Accepted

The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed.

203 Non-Authoritative

The returned metainformation in the entity-header is not the definitive set as available from the origin server, but is gathered from a local or a third-party copy.

204 No Content

The server has fulfilled the request but does not need to return an entity-body, and might want to return updated meta information.

205 Reset Content

The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset the document view which caused the request to be sent.

206 Partial Content

The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource.

300 Multiple Choices

The requested resource corresponds to any one of a set of representations, each with its own specific location, and agent- driven negotiation information (section 12) is being provided so that the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation and redirect its request to that location.

301 Moved Permanently

The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD use one of the returned URIs.

302 Found

The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.

303 See Other

The response to the request can be found under a different URI and SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource.

304 Not Modified

If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code.

305 Use Proxy

The requested resource MUST be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field.

307 Temporary Redirect

The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.

401 Unauthorized

The request requires user authentication.

403 Forbidden

The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.

404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI.

405 Method Not Allowed

The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI.

406 Not Acceptable

The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.

407 Proxy Authentication Required

This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the client must first authenticate itself with the proxy.

408 Request Timeout

The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time.

409 Conflict

The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource.

412 Precondition Failed

The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server.

413 Request Entity Too Large

The server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process.

414 Request-URI Too Long

The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret.

415 Unsupported Media Type

The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.

416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

A server SHOULD return a response with this status code if a request included a Range request-header field, and none of the range-specifier values in this field overlap the current extent of the selected resource, and the request did not include an If-Range request-header field.

417 Expectation Failed

The expectation given in an Expect request-header field (see section 14.20) could not be met by this server, or, if the server is a proxy, the server has unambiguous evidence that the request could not be met by the next-hop server.

500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

501 Not Implemented

The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request.
