Most of the internet users who visit social meadia sites like twitter,digg heavily, often encounter with Shortened URLs. You usually come across such links from your trusted ones, but also from across the internet.
hence these shortened URLs become point of suspision as we don't know where we're heading until we get there and possibility of pranks or spams are pretty high.You could be made to compromise with your data if the link leads to malicious site.To prevent from happening that to you, here comes a handy tool Unshorten.It.

Below is the description on this Webapp's site :

Explaining Unshorten.It!

Is that short URL you're visiting REALLY going to contain cute kittens, or instead is it going to mug you and steal your wallet? Unshorten.It! takes any bullets for you, analysing the website for safety and letting you see it before you decide whether to proceed.

Reclaim your Nascent PC Series : Part 2

Posted by Unknown Friday, January 13, 2012 0 comments

Moving forward in our new series Reclaim your Nascent PC, here I am going to share a new tip with you. Often whenever you surf internet, temporary internet files are stored in your system for quick viewing. But with increasing time, the number of these files also increases.
Further, whenever you use a program, it sometimes saves temporary information which keeps on occupying more and more space in your harddisk.
Morever, windows keeps copies of all pictures, videos and other documents thumbnails. In addition to these, whenever your system encounters any problem or error, it stores the relevant information in files for error reporting and solution checking.

The sum of all above facts is that these useless(for a normal user :D) occupied memory space can be freed without any problem. You don’t need any particular software or utility for this purpose.
Here we go in simple steps.
  • Press Win + E key or click on My Computer. Right Click on your Operating System drive (i.e. C drive commonly) and choose "Properties".


  • In Properties Dialog box, choose "Disk Cleanup" option.



  • After clicking on that button, there will an activity like below in image.It will take few seconds.



  • Now there will be shown a disk cleanup window. Check all appropriate options and click on OK button.


  • On clicking OK button, again a window will appear showing disk cleanup process.After finishing that, you are done.

This is the whole thing you have to do.
Simple!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it? :)
If you like it,leave your precious comment as feedback.
Meanwhile you 'd like to check first post of this Series out.

See you Soon. Till then Enjoy your Nascent PC. :-)

Reclaim your Nascent PC Series : Part 1

Posted by Unknown Saturday, December 10, 2011 0 comments

Started your system and now sitting before your system and waiting for loading its services and applications (in simple language taking too long to start) takes little longer and it irritates too when you want to do your work quickly.
Sounds similar…
It occurs when you have installed application and softwares in a large number and these application makes their places in windows startup list.
Obviously too many applications in startup, too much time to boot completely.
Here is a way to get rid off from this problem and it requires not any software.

Step 1 : Press Win+R key and Run window will appear. Type “msconfig” without quotes and hit OK.



Step 2 : Go to startup tab and uncheck irrelevant and unnecessary applications from here.



Step 3 : Now simply click Apply,OK and new dialogue Box will open with two options.
“Restart” and “Exit without restart”
choose as per your wish. And now you are done.


Enjoy your system with better performance. :D
