Download AntiRansomware Tool 2.0 build 13


Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents or limits users from accessing their system. To make the infected system usable again, the victim is forced to pay (a ransom) to a remote threat actor thru certain online payment methods. Users may encounter this threat through different means. They can either download ransomware unwittingly by visiting malicious or compromised websites. It can also arrive as a payload, either dropped or downloaded by other malware.

How to Add Space Before or After your Paragraphs

Microsoft Word
In many instances you may have documents that need extra spacing between your paragraphs, if for no other reason than not wanting to hit the old Enter key as if you were using a typewriter! Believe it or not, those folks exist and still hit that Enter key twice between their paragraphs.

How to download Facebook Videos without using any Software

Facebook is a social platform where is is possible to share and watch any video. But, the problem begins when we want to download and save a Facebook video that has uploaded by friends, news portals or any facebook user. Unfortunately, Facebook does not provide any direct option or feature to let users download or save any video to their Windows PC. This article will show how anyone can download Facebook videos without the use of third party software, script or any online video downloading service. The process is tricky, yet not very difficult to carry out.

Download Facebook Videos

Facebook does not give any direct option to download videos, like images. But we have an oblique feature of Facebook that does the same with videos. For that, you will have to use the mobile version of Facebook. Let’s get started!
To start with, choose a video that you would like to download. The default URL of any Facebook video looks like the subsequent URL,
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=[unique ID]
If you have this kind of URL, you will get the PC version of Facebook website. You simply need to open the same video with the mobile version of the website. To do so, just replace the “www” with “m” – without quotes.

Google Chrome 42 released, now available for download



The web browser is arguably the most important piece of software on your computer. You spend much of your time online inside a browser: when you search, chat, email, shop, bank, read the news, and watch videos online, you often do all this using a browser.
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Use one box for everything--type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. Google Chrome also uses a brand new JavaScript engine (V8), which is much faster than existing javascript interpreters. This means you can create more complex and more intensive AJAX applications with fewer speed and processing constraints. Finally, Google Chrome is built on top of WebKit, so Google Chrome users will benefit from the CSS3 features being added to WebKit as those features are released.
