To those of you who dont know me: RiDz Age 11 Firefox is a fast and safe browser. I use it all the time. Fully customizble with add-ons. Here is my set-up in Firefox: Firefox - WOT (web of trust) (add on) This is like Mcafee site advisor but more reliable. When you type something into google on the side of it will be little circles either coloured green, red or yellow. Green being the best and red being the worst. The colour depends on the ratings made by WOT's users. You can also rate websites easily by using a button on the firefox toolbar. - TACO Stands for targeting advertising cookie opt-out Basically its a cookie opt-out for targeted advertising from 90 companies including yahoo and microsoft. - Skype extension for firefox Basically lets me open skype from the browser and phone numbers from the web on skype. Mcafee Site Advisor - Basically its WOT but not as reliable as their coloured rating depends only on what their bots find not what the users rate it. And sometimes their bots are MASSIVELY WRONG! Log me in console - Basically I've asked ppl if their computers need repairing and so I use this to remotely access their PC's (with permission) to fix problems. Also when my uncle wants to show me computer tricks we use this. Lenovo Driver update engine - Automatically gets new drivers for me. Adblock Plus - Extremely useful! Reccomended. Basically it blocks annoying adverts. Which is useful as they sometimes carry malware, flash and make sounds and sometimes have weird images. Adblock Plus Pop-up add on- Self explantory. Firefox has a built in pop up blocker but I have this just for extra. Hope this helps you! |

Tell me more about the "Log me in Console". Sounds interesting. Can you actually get remote access to for example a parents computer if they are having boot up problems? Does the person have to be online for it to work?

Well the way it works is open it up and send someone an invition to remotely access your computer. Logmein sends an email from their own email. Then they can open it up and then ur computer will have a notifaction saying do u wanna let them use it. And then it does the work! It requires an network connection yes and you cant use it to fix booting up problems coz that a hardware bit. |
