Own Your Space–Keep Yourself and Your Stuff Safe Online — Digital Book for Teens
Microsoft has released a free (!!! :D) ebook covering a wide range of security topics.The book , which is for teenagers offers a good look at using the internet safely, and it’s perfect for anyone looking for a primer on internet security.
Help teens ‘own their space’ online. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, or educator, you can keep up with the latest computer and online safety issues and help kids learn to avoid them. In partnership with security expert and author, Linda McCarthy, we offer a free downloadable version of her new book, “Own Your Space – Keep Yourself and Your Stuff Safe Online.” Written for computer and Internet savvy “tweens” and teens specifically, this book is also a useful resource for the adults they rely on.
I must say that Microsoft has done an admirable job with the book. The text is a comprehensive guide for teenagers (and new computer users) that covers everything from how to spot phishing tactics to setting up your browser to protect against browser-based exploits to dealing with cyber-stalking. It also provides interesting history and real world examples of the harm that can come from security vulnerabilities.
The 253 page book is a free download. You can download the entire book at the link below or just the chapters you want to . So did you like the book ?? …. Let’s hear about it in the comments.

Disable Google Instant Search
Scenario : Google rolled out Something New and it was fun for sometime but now you find it really annoying and want to disable it.
Solution : Google Instant is the new search enhancement that can display instant search results as you type. The ultimate aim of this search enhancement is to help users to get faster and better search results even as they type. But many users instead feel annoyed with this feature. But fear not that your familiar google’s appearance has been tarnished cos Google does allow users to turn off or disable the Google Instant Search feature.
The easiest way for users who do not want to have the instant result is to turn it off by clicking on to the link “Instant is on” next to the search box on any search result page. Users can click on to the link which will then prompt users with the option to either switch on/off the Google Instant feature.
Alternately, users can visit Google’s Preference page via http://www.google.com/preferences, look for Google Instant, and then click on “Do not use Google Instant”.
