Before this, I use Nod32 antivirus (now I’m using Kaspersky 7) to protect my PC from viruses. Although Nod32 is good but my PC was once got infected by a virus and it had remove my Folder Options from the menu. Other than that, it also had disabled my Task Manager.
I thought I can get the Folder Options and the Task Manager back by using Regedit, but this virus is way too smart and it also disabled the Regedit. There is nothing I can do and lastly I format my PC.

If you want to make more money and profit from your affiliate links, you need to display them in different way. Don’t use the default link generated by your affiliate program script. Instead, hide it by using PHP file. [tags]php, html, affiliate tips[/tags]
I hid all my affiliate links in PHP file. You can see those links on my sidebar, under Featured Sites (Get Free $25USD, RM100 Advertlets Contest, Earn More Money ). Since the affiliate links are hidden, my earning from affiliate programs increase.
To create the PHP file is simple. I use Text Link Ads affiliate link for this example. Open your Notepad and paste this code.
<?php header(”location: http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=20378″); ?>
Next what you need to do is save it with .php extension and upload it to your server. I saved that file as tla.php and uploaded it to my /register/ folder on my site.
