How to secure your P1 Wimax WiFi Modem?

Happy Malaysia Day to all Malaysians… -CypherHackz-

I have been using P1 Wimax since August 2009. Personally, it is the best Internet broadband that we have in Malaysia. For Home Plus package, the average connection speed is around 120kbps-170kbps. But there were a few times where the speed dropped to 20-50kbps, and even sometimes it disconnected abruptly. If you got problem with P1 Wimax connection, feel free to read my article on Apabila P1 Wimax Bermasalah at BlogAku.Net.

The purpose I write this post is to help you to secure your P1 Wimax WiFi modem. It is actually very easy for unauthorized users to gain access into your P1 Wimax network if you did not change the modem default password, WEP key, and Access Control List. In this How-To guide, I will show you the step by step on how to secure your P1 Wimax WiFi modem. Let’s begin…

Make short URL for Google+ profile with gplus.to

gplus-01

I just have my Google+ profile account after got the invitation from Problogger and LiewCF. Currently Google+ is not open to public and new registration can only be made via invitation only. If you don’t have Google+ account, you can drop a comment below with your Gmail address and I will invite you to join into my circles.

However, Google+ does not provide friendly or short profile URL like Facebook. Instead it uses long URL with your unique Google+ ID which is really difficult to remember or share with your friends.

Custom Short Domain by bit.ly Pro

Currently I have seven .my domains that I bought from Mercumaya. All of them are not active (contain no website). But there is one .my domain that I want to use for my bitly.ProCustom Short Domain.

To use this service, I have to set my DNS A record to point to their IP address. But the problem is, there is no option for me to set the DNS A record from the domain registrar (MyNIC Domain Registry).

Luckily, I have DNS Zone Editor in my cPanel and I can set the DNS A record from there. Here I will show you how to set DNS record for .my domain by using cPanel.

In your opinion, what is the best antivirus software for Windows 7? What antivirus software do you use to protect your computer?

I am using Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. I have been using Kaspersky since 2005. From Windows XP and now using Windows 7, I still believe that Kaspersky is the best antivirus software that able to protect my computer and help me fight against the viruses very well.

Why I choose Kaspersky? First, it is light and does not use a lot of resources to run. Second, I can adjust the settings (advanced settings) and set it what I want. Third, it is compatible to run together with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware without having any problem. Lastly, because Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Jackie Chan are their ambassador (just kidding).

But yup, if you asked me what is the best antivirus software for Windows, I will say Kaspersky. How about you?

remove-facebook-lightbox-01

Facebook is now using lightbox photo viewer to view photos and albums. But this new feature is so annoying and useless.

Luckily, there are many ways that you can use to remove the new Facebook lightbox photo viewer (or “theater”).

  1. Hit F5 – When viewing any photo in Facebook lightbox, just hit F5 to refresh and it will go away.
  2. Remove &theater – At the address bar, remove the &theater from the URL and hit Enter.
  3. Facebook Lightbox Killer (Mozilla Firefox) – This is an addon for Mozilla Firefox. It will remove Facebook lightbox automatically when you viewing somebody’s photos.
  4. Facebook Lightbox Killer (Google Chrome) – Same like Facebook Lightbox Killer for Mozilla Firefox. This is an extension for Google Chrome that will kill the lightbox when viewing pictures on Facebook.

Hope this helps! :)
