				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Guest Post by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rakesh.menon1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rakesh</a></em>: Here are 5 iPhone apps (they are available on Android also) which I can&#8217;t do without daily. There are a lot of top quality and popular apps out there for your smartphones, but at the end of the day for most users like me it boils down to few apps which I use daily no matter where I am until the battery dies out. Here are my top 5&#8230;</p>
<h3>Any.DO </h3>
<p><img src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/any-do-app.jpg" /></p>
<p>Oh did you forget to pay your credit bills , and you are to be penalized for it ?<strong> </strong><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/any.do-to-do-list/id497328576?mt=8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Any.DO</strong></a> is a calendar cum day organizer, with its intuitive UI, will help you manage your task and will also remind you . It helps you categorize to work, personal folders and allows you to create new folders to streamline them further. It also extends you invite your friends if you are doing a group activity. Recently they added Any.DO Moment, a smart and fun way to plan your day. </p>
<h3>True Caller </h3>
<p>Are you getting calls from unknown number ?? Do you want to avoid calls from unknown marketing companies? Well , then you have a revolutionary application here which will help you do exactly the same. <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/truecaller-global-phone-directory/id448142450?mt=8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">True Caller</a> recognizes the call from an unknown source and displays the name and other information available about the number. </p>
<p><iframe height="309" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9Le9GI7dnc8" frameborder="0" width="550" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The interesting part is you do not have to have the number in your contacts all you need is internet access and you will have the person’s number . Pretty amazing eh ? But the downside is that it saves your contacts to a central server, which is used as a dynamic directory. Which app doesn&#8217;t do that nowadays, anyways?</p>
<h3>Temple Run 2: Oz </h3>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; display: inline; float: right" alt="games like temple run" align="right" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8217/8295532819_8848b5264a_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" />Ever since Imangi Studios launched the endless running play Temple run iOS and automaton, it created certain that we have a tendency to never stopped running. The app has four different version with the sequel (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/temple-run-2/id572395608?mt=8&amp;uo=4&amp;v0=WWW-NAUS-ITSTOP100-FREEAPPS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Temple Run 2</a>) launching in January this year. </p>
<p>With just few days into the market the game broke record of <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds/id343200656?mt=8&amp;v0=WWW-NAUS-ITSTOP100-FREEAPPS&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Angry Birds</a> (50 million downloads in 13 days). In the new OZ version of temple run , you are no longer chased by monkeys , it&#8217;s the balloons that keeps chasing you while you are running away. So Run Forest Runnnnnn&#8230;&#8230; </p>
<h3>Angry Birds Goes Free </h3>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 8px 10px; display: inline; float: right" align="right" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5455/7394261682_5983e52329_t.jpg" /><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds/id343200656?mt=8&amp;v0=WWW-NAUS-ITSTOP100-FREEAPPS&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Angry Birds</a>, one of the most favored game that started it all for Rovio, is now on the market at no cost on iPhone and iPad. this can be the primary time that the first game is being offered at no cost since the launch of the game in 2009. Moreover, this app has conjointly got an update that more fifteen new unhealthy Piggies levels for gamers to master. </p>
<h3>Google Maps is Back</h3>
<p>After creating a disappointing failure of Apple Maps, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/google-maps/id585027354?mt=8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Google Maps</a> has finally arrived for iPhone and its fabulous. One of the major problem with Apple maps is the underlying data connected to the app. </p>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; display: inline; float: right" alt="iPhone offline Google maps" align="right" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2562/3712892119_5f35bb090c_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" />Though Google and Apple worked on creating a complex database , each of them get satellite feed and other data from companies . But the problem is , the world is never constant . So the data is never absolutely correct . But Google has perfected its Maps over the years , many Google workers have spent years hand-editing the maps, fixing thousands of errors that folks report on a daily basis. In the new app you can report a bug by simply shaking the phone. And since 2006, Google&#8217;s Street read vehicles have trawled 3,000 cities, photographing and confirming the fashioning accuracy of 5 million miles of roads.</p>
<p>But Google maps lacks Siri integration , When you talk to Siri for directions, apple maps opens up automatically. This could be the only black mark on Google’s point of view. Finally, though Google Maps runs fine on the iPad, it&#8217;s simply a blown-up version of the iPhone version. there is not however not yet an iPad-specific app. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 5px 0px 10px 10px" align="right" src="http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4049/4369336197_23929f9a7e.jpg" width="250" height="166" />For those of you who are not aware, <strong>Spotify</strong> has been available for some time on Windows Phone 7. However, it is now more popular as it has been made available on Windows Phone 8. It is available on the Windows Phone Store for downloading. Spotify was originally developed way back in 2006 by a dedicated team in Stockholm, Sweden. The company is now headquartered in London; however, the research activities are still confined to the offices at Stockholm.</p>
<p>It is surprising to note that the company reported a loss of $4.4 million in the year 2008, when it launched the application that was accessible by the public. Free accounts were made available strictly by invitation, though paid subscriptions were thrown open to everyone. In spite of signing licensing deals with several major music companies, Spotify could not breakeven that year.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.spotify.com/int/freetrial/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 5px 10px 10px 0px" alt="spotify-logo" align="left" src="http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4035/4349671648_e3046fa1c2_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" /></a>As of December, 2012, there is access to over 20 million songs on Spotify through searches for genres, titles, songs, labels, artists, and albums, offering access to music tracks from major labels and other independent sources. However, there still exist some artist who are finicky and do not wish to be accessed through Spotify, for reasons best known to them. You may not be able to get access to The Beatles, whichever way you search, as they have an exclusive distribution agreement with Apple’s iTunes. However, the desktop client at Spotify allows you to import music from iTunes, which can be synced with your smartphone.</p>
<p>With <a href="https://www.spotify.com/int/freetrial/"><strong>Spotify</strong></a> downloaded, you can share playlists that you will first need to set up. Alternatively, the collaborative software allows you to edit the music involving different users. You can drag the link for playlist to your email or IM window. All the recipient needs to do is to follow the link to download into Spotify on their devices. Once downloaded, the playlists get automatically updated each time the author adds new tracks or deletes any existing ones. There are exclusive websites devoted to Spotify where active forums exist for sharing and discussing current favorites.</p>
<p>Spotify on Windows Phone 8 will be available with options that allow syncing over 3G as well as on an offline mode. The Windows Phone Live Tiles help updating with the title or album that is playing now. You also get the options to pin playlists that have been created by you on to the Start Screen. The app can be downloaded from the Windows app store free of any charges. One can avail the 30-day free trial offer, after which a payment of$9.99 per month becomes applicable. Spotify on Windows Phone 8, which is in Beta mode, is similar the apps available on Android and iOS. The music experience that one can enjoy is quite good, and Spotify app joins the ever increasing list of apps on the Windows App store that has crossed 125,000 already.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Packed with Intel Core processors and solid state drives, ultrabooks have set to conquer the realm of personal computing, providing the unhindered performance of a desktop PC inside a light weight, slim and sleek package. They have the convenience of a regular tablet, and the potential of a workstation. Ultrabooks are something beyond the ordinary laptops. Their uniqueness in design and performance has resulted in more demand, followed by more supply. Market is flooded with ultrabooks offering diverse features, under different trade names, under different price tags. </p>
<p>For a first time buyer it seems almost impossible to select the ideal ultrabook he or she&#8217;d love to have, due to the massive competition between manufacturers out there. Following is a concise guide to the top 5 ultrabooks of 2012, to assist any one wanting to select the ideal ultrabook for him or her. Here are the top 5&#8230;</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.apple.com/in/macbookair/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple MacBook Air</a></h3>
<p>On the ultra portable laptop arena, Apple MacBook Air has always received a top notch spot, for its sleek elegant design and lightness in weight. The newest member of the lineup packs a third generation Intel core i5 processor clocking at 1.5GHz, 4 GigaBytes of RAM, 64 GB SSD drive and a 11 inch display with a 1366 by 768 resolution under the same lustrous iconic design, and weighs merely 2.3lbs.MacBook Air is equipped with a thunderbolt port and 2 USB3.0 ports for establishing faster connections. The 720p FaceTime camera that sits on top bezel of the bright display is ideal for video calling your friends and family.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2176/2249097127_50eeac5f20.jpg" /></p>
<p>MacBook Air is powered by the Mac OSX, and the special track pad supports multiple multi-touch gestures which synchronize with the OSX to provide you a seamless experience in working with the Mac. MacBook Air isn’t the most powerful machine in the league; however it gets the job done in most cases. While the limited flash memory would soon run out of space if you use it as your primary Mac, and do not depend heavily on cloud storage, Mac Book Air is a good secondary Mac for anyone expecting something beyond an iPad.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.flipkart.com/hp-envy-6-1002tx-sleekbook-3rd-gen-ci5-4gb-500gb-win7-hb-2gb-graph/p/itmdb5hshpgnfhk5?pid=COMDB5CG7AGHTPZT&amp;affid=snaphowgma" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HP Envy Spectre XT</a></h3>
<p>HP Envy Spectre XT, packing a third generation Intel core i5 processor clocking at 1.7 GHz, a solid state drive of 128 GB and an Intel HD 4000 graphics engine backed by 4 GB of RAM is a direct rival to the MacBook Air. HP has crafted this ultrabook, with a sleek metallic design that looks and feels premium, squeezing USB2.0, USB3.0 ports and a SD card reader into the slim slate that bears the backlit keyboard. Thanks to the beats audio engine, HP Envy Spectre XT offers superb audio, enhanced by the four speakers glued to the metallic frame. Image quality of the 13 inch display with a resolution of 1366 by 768 is satisfactory, though not the best that could’ve been achieved.</p>
<p>HP Envy Spectre is powered by Windows 7 out of the box, but could easily be upgraded to Windows 8. The performance of the ultrabook is pretty decent for a beast in its league, backed by a huge 8 hour battery life. The buyers get to enjoy Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements software and free Norton 2012 Internet Security licensed for 2 years along with the package, at no extra cost. HP Envy Spectre XT is a great ultrabook, offering the much anticipated portability and a wide array of features for a price tag below $1000.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-np900x3a-a01in-laptop-2nd-gen-ci5-4gb-128gb-ssd-win7-hp/p/itmd67pzv2mw62hy?pid=COMD67PNXBASVZQZ&amp;affid=snaphowgma" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Samsung Series 9 &#8211; 13 inch Ultrabook</a></h3>
<p>Samsung Series 9 -13 inch version encapsulates an Intel core i5 IvyBridge processor clocking at 1.7 GHz, 128 of solid state drive and an Intel HD 4000 graphics core backed by 4GB of RAM inside a sleek iconic design. Weighing merely 1.16kg this unique ultrabook reigns as one of the lightest ultrabooks out there. The display with a stunning resolution of 1600 by 900 pixels reduces the glare and produces richer colors even at extreme viewing angles, proving that Samsung has engineered a state of the art display for the series 9- 13 inch ultrabook.</p>
<p>This unique ultrabook records one of the fastest boot times in its league, snapping into life within seconds of powering up.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 8px 10px; float: right;" src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/live-free-or-die-hard.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="133" />I&#8217;m sure you have heard a lot of incidences about your PC / laptop getting stolen when disaster happens. In times of these emergency situations, it takes long to get back your normal life, sans the important data stored in your PC. It happens, we read about it, but we seldom take action. This is your checklist to get prepared for when disaster strikes. However, you can bail yourself out of this situation if ever faced.</p>
<h3>Save Important Data in the Online at Dropbox</h3>
<p>The easiest &amp; safest bet to store your data with the help of online archives, is at <a href="http://db.tt/ojg3oDR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> and similar <a href="http://www.snaphow.com/4965/top-5-free-cloud-storage-services-with-best-referral-space-bonus">cloud based storage</a> services. Register yourself soon, if you haven&#8217;t. This one could act as your base in the probable &#8216;emergency&#8217; situation. Plus it makes sharing and access of data easy from anywhere in the world.</p>
<p>Also a good tip is to create the &#8216;Emergency&#8217; folder containing encrypted digital versions of your important documents, list of accounts and passwords and scanned copies of most important hard copy documents like certificates, agreements etc.</p>
<h3>Hardcopy of Important Documents</h3>
<p>It is further advisable to maintain on paper, the serial numbers, important passwords, contact details, numbers &amp; emails, etc. Always maintain separate copies of this paper &amp; confide with one copy to your family member or friend.</p>
<h3>Install Prey &amp; Undercover</h3>
<p>These are security services which are a must to be installed on your PC. After installing <a href="http://preyproject.com/">Prey</a>, you can enable the webcam &amp; thus know who used your PC in your absence (see <a href="http://www.snaphow.com/2858/use-your-webcam-for-security-surveillance-motion-detector">webcam for security surveillance</a>). Check out, <a href="http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/index.html">Undercover</a> works with the local police, as soon as your report your PC or laptop as stolen.</p>
<h3>Lock your PC with Password Protection</h3>
<p>It is also a must to have very secure &amp; safe passwords for your PC. You can also enable password protection, whilst unlocking your PC. If you&#8217;re looking at an easy solution to remember all different passwords, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/1password-for-iphone/id285897618?mt=8">1Password</a> will make things quite convenient for you.</p>
<p><em>Tip: </em><a href="http://www.snaphow.com/4194/free-softwares-to-hide-files-folders-or-password-protect-secret-folders"><em>Hide or Password Protect Private Files and Folders</em></a></p>
<h3>Backup</h3>
<p>Storage of your documents in the cloud, is one way to address this. But, it is even more useful to have a real local back-up. A plethora of back-up tools in form of external hard drives exist, and it&#8217;s intelligent to reply on ones which are integrated and most non-intrusive.</p>
<p>Also take a System Report, for a windows user, the Control Panel will have the Performance Information and Tools of your PC. Click on the left link titled ‘Advanced Tools’, scroll below to ‘Generate a system health report.’ Click it. Once this report is generated, take a screenshot or print the content, which will have all details about your PC.</p>
<p>Doing the above, will ensure the next emergency (disaster scenario) will be nothing more than a minor hiccup, for the data recovery of your PC / laptop.<br />

Under one roof of Google Drive and SkyDrive from Windows Live, one can store documents, spreadsheets, presentations from your mail-attachments in Gmail and Hotmail respectively and view them in the browser itself. Dropbox is even more amazing in its own ways like <a href="http://www.snaphow.com//4928/google-music-alternative-droptunes-stream-play-mp3-songs-in-dropbox" target="_blank">streaming mp3 music</a> or <a href="http://www.snaphow.com//4870/download-torrents-remotely-auto-initiate-utorrent-using-any-dropbox" target="_blank">download torrents automatically</a>.&#160; </p>
<p>That being said, users should consider having atleast one of these apps in their system, because not only are they free, but you don&#8217;t need to scar about the loss of important data in your laptop/computer hard drive. Plus it makes sharing and access of data easy from anywhere in the world. </p>
<h3>Include any Sync Folder from Dropbox, Google Drive or SkyDrive in your Right-Click Context Menu&#8217;s Send To option</h3>
<p>After installation Google Drive and Dropbox is automatically available under the normal favorites section in left sidebar of the windows explorer. While you can drag drop file here but still if you have a deep folder hierarchy, it requires extra efforts to put your files in the right locations. </p>
<p>But for quick access to a particular folder in your Dropbox structure you can use this tip and add it to your right-click context menu&#8217;s <code><strong><em>Send to</em></strong></code> option. This way you can select one or multiple files and folders, right click and send them directly to your cloud storage for safe-keep. If you are a developer you know useful this is to check-in a new or updated file to any synced and shared folder on your Dropbox. </p>
<p>To do it, Go to this folder path <em><strong>C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo </strong></em>or use Windows <strong>Start &gt; Run</strong> and type in this command&#160; <strong><code>%APPDATA%/Microsoft/Windows/SendTo</code> </strong>and hit the OK button. </p>
<p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Add Specific Dropbox, Google Drive Folders to Send-To Menu: Copy Files Easily" alt="Add Specific Dropbox, Google Drive Folders to Send-To Menu: Copy Files Easily" src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/add-specific-dropbox-google-drive-folders-send-to-menu-run.png" /></p>
<p>After opening the <strong>Send To</strong> folder, navigate to the folder you want to add. Right click that folder and keep holding the right click and drag it an open area in the <strong>Send To</strong> folder and release. Select <em><strong>Create Shortcut</strong></em> from the context menu. Only shortcuts should be placed in this folder. </p>
<p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Add Specific Dropbox, Google Drive Folders to Send-To Menu: Copy Files Easily" alt="Add Specific Dropbox, Google Drive Folders to Send-To Menu: Copy Files Easily" src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/add-specific-dropbox-google-drive-folders-send-to-menu-folder.png" /></p>
<p>Now test it by right clicking on any file you want to upload and select Send To and the folder you just added. And it should work fine. </p>
<p>You can also use a special app called <a title="http://rbsoft.org/downloads/right-click-enhancer" href="http://rbsoft.org/downloads/right-click-enhancer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Right Click Enhancer</a> to further enhance the capabilities of your right-click Send To menu like adding a collection of folders in one sub-menu group etc.</p>
<p><strong>Words from Author: </strong>(<strong>Diana</strong>,who is a blogger by profession and loves writing, reading and travelling and contributes her writing to <a href="http://raulgorrinseguroslavitalicia.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Raul Gorrin Seguros La Vitalicia</a>). Since these cloud services are open, surely there will be security concerns. Individual prevention will help to overcome that. One should not store sensitive data and if it needs to be stored, one need to follow encryption mechanisms and <a href="http://www.snaphow.com/4194/free-softwares-to-hide-files-folders-or-password-protect-secret-folders" target="_blank">password protection for the files of folders</a>.</p>
<p>One should accept the modern trends since traditional methods like copying and transferring files external hard drives, CDs, flash drives etc., are outdated, and there is no guarantee for the permanent persistence of the data. But there is&#160; more guarantee if the data is stored in reliable cloud services like Dropbox or Google drive. Plus all of them provide free desktop apps for using them, it let us use them effectively with folder sync and other features. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.indianrail.gov.in/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Indian Railways</a> operates the biggest &amp; most complex network of trains across the world. To add on to the complexity, it is also one of the most geographically spread networks too. In this kind of a complex system, it would be a difficult job to track your train &amp; it&#8217;s location. And, I am quite sure that there are people like me, who have faced difficulty in doing so.</p>
<p>Previously, Indian Railways did have their own website, which would help you track a train, it&#8217;s schedule, the start &amp; the end stations, etc. To make things easier, the user was provided with an option to either remember the name of the train or key-in the train number, to access the relevant details.</p>
<p>But now with combining technology and location based systems, Indian Railways have come up with an useful solution to internet users at home or on mobile. The <strong><em>Centre For Railway Information Systems (</em></strong><a href="http://www.cris.org.in/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong><em>CRIS</em></strong></a><strong><em>)</em></strong> has recently launched the modified version of the pre-existing website <a href="http://www.trainenquiry.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>TrainEnquiry.com</strong></a> which would help you locate the current position of the train. Go to the site and follow the steps below:</p>
<ol>
<li>Type in a relevant train name (eg. Rajdhani or 12301).</li>
<li>All the train names with the word &#8216;Rajdhani&#8217; will automatically be displayed. You would have to choose the one train which you&#8217;re looking for.
<p>I chose &#8216;Kolkata &#8211; New Delhi&#8217; Rajdhani Express with Train No 12301.<img style="margin: 8px auto; display: block; float: none;" title="Locate Trains in Indian Railways: Find Current Position Status" src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/locate-trains-indian-railways-current-position-status.png" alt="Locate Trains in Indian Railways: Find Current Position Status" /></li>
<li>Click on the train name &amp; select the starting date of the train which you intend to locate.</li>
<li>On clicking the date, Nov 5; the current train status (location) is accurately displayed. All relevant details about the delay status, the stations which would next arrive with their Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) is mentioned.<br />
<img style="margin: 8px auto; display: block; float: none;" title="Locate Trains in Indian Railways: Find Current Position Status" src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/locate-trains-indian-railways-current-position-status-2.png" alt="Locate Trains in Indian Railways: Find Current Position Status" /></li>
<li>It also shows the stations which are left behind.</li>
</ol>
<p>Indian Railways has also launched another tracking system into the website called<strong> </strong><a href="http://railradar.trainenquiry.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>RailRadar</strong></a>, that shows the current location of any running train in India on a Google Map. Click on any train on a route on the map and it shows the location and details&#8230;</p>
<p><img style="margin: 8px auto; display: block; float: none;" title="Locate Trains in Indian Railways: Find Current Position Status" src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/locate-trains-indian-railways-current-position-status-map.png" alt="Locate Trains in Indian Railways: Find Current Position Status" /></p>
<p>RailRadar is an interactive map which allows users to watch movements of trains which are currently running in India. You can also use search to find your train.</p>
<p>These are great and useful services from the Indian Railways. So the next time you travel by a train, do not forget to use this website &amp; follow the steps mentioned above, to locate the exact location of your train.</p>

Earlier websites used to show pop-ups. But these pop-ups were by default blocked by many <a href="http://www.snaphow.com/category/internet/browsers">browsers</a>. To circumvent this limitation, websites started showing layers on the web pages. Layers are formed with javascript. They cannot be blocked by the browsers. Some layers are so annoying that users cannot even close them without submitting forms embedded in those layers. In this article we take a look at how to get rid of these layers and increase <a href="http://www.snaphow.com/5696/best-useful-apps-tools-to-do-more-work-multitask-productively">productivity</a>.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s first try to understand different types of forms and overlay layers. Most overlays have a form embedded in them. The intention of these layers is to get the user details before they get to use the website. Many layers allow users to close them without filling details. Some allow users to close them by clicking on any area outside of the layer or by pressing escape key. If you get no response on following these steps, you need to take a harsher steps.</p>
<h2>3 Ways to Remove Embedded Survey, Sign Up Forms which Block Webpages</h2>
<h3>1. Using Development Tools in Chrome to Delete the Layer </h3>
<p>This is the easiest way to get rid of the popup form layer. Let&#8217;s take an example of a layer shown above. Now follow these steps -</p>
<ol>
<li>Select any text on the embedded form overlay or popup.  </li>
<li>Press F12. This will open developers tool and show the exact HTML behind the text selected.  </li>
<li>
<div>Navigate the HTML tree and see the elements of the layer high-lighted on the screen.<br />
      <br />For example <i>&lt;div id=&quot;MB_window&quot;</i> and <i>&lt;div id=&quot;MB_overlay&quot; </i>in the image below. </p>
<p><img style="margin: 10px auto; display: block; float: none" title="Remove Survey Popups, Sign Up Forms that Block Webpage Content" alt="Remove Survey Popups, Sign Up Forms that Block Webpage Content" src="http://media.snaphow.com/images2/remove-survey-popups-sign-up-forms-block-webpage-content-chrome.png" /></div>
</li>
<li>Once you reach the element that is behind the entire layer (this is generally a DIV), right click and select &quot;Delete Node&quot;. </li>
</ol>
<p>You will see that they layer is deleted. In some cases the background is covered with another semi-transparent layer. You can use above steps to locate this transparent element and delete it.</p>
<h3>2. Disable JavaScript in Browser</h3>
<p>Another way to get rid of the layer is to disabled the javascript. Since layers are rendered through javascript, if you disable javascript, the layers would never be shown. The downside of this approach as compared to previous approach is that many other important and useful javascript functions will not be available. To disable javascript on chrome, follow these steps -</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to chrome://chrome/settings/ from the address bar. </li>
<li>Click <em>Show advanced settings </em></li>
<li>Under <em>Privacy</em> section, click on <em>Content settings </em></li>
<li>Under javascript section, click <em>Do not allow any site to run JavaScript<br />
