Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer

A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage.
What you can do:
Go to your home page

I have checked all the add-ons installed and I could not find any malicious addon listed there. Did a simple search on Google, the solution is quite simple. It seems Microsoft decided to add some extra security to Internet Explorer 8 by guessing which websites are insecure.

Open Internet Explorer 8 –> Tools –> Internet Options –> Advanced.

Uncheck the option ‘Enable Memory Protection to help mitigate online attacks’. This can be found under Security section.

For those using 64 bit version of Windows 7, Mozilla has some good news. Mozilla has started offering 64 bit builds of Firefox nightlies for Windows as well.

But since not all plugins like Java and Flash are available in 64 bit versions, you need to run 32 bit versions of the plugins. You can grab the 64 bit builds for the Firefox trunk here.

After installing the Firefox 64 bit build more than likely you will see a missing DLL (MSVCR100.dll) error while starting Firefox.

This can be fixed by installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package from Microsoft. Once that is done, just look at your about screen of Firefox Win 64 bit build.

Oxygen Molecule GTK+ theme based on the pixbuf GTK+engine, does a better job at skinning GNOME / GTK apps in KDE. After installing the the theme all GNOME GTK applications look like using the Oxygen style and become a part of your KDE desktop. The theme is available for download on kde-look.org. The download also contains installation instructions for copying and using the theme.

Loving the look of Firefox on KDE now.

If you want to install them on Kubuntu, fire up Konsole and type the below command:

aptitude install ubuntu-wallpapers

Or if you prefer KPackageKit, then search for ubuntu-wallpapers package and install it.

You can then find the new wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds.

Not using Lucid or Linux but want the new wallpapers? You can download all the new Ubuntu Lucid wallpapers in compressed format from here.

Here is a teaser screenshot of my desktop with one of the new wallpapers.

While looking at this post on my own blog, I just couldn’t help noticing the Google Adsense ads that were being displayed there.

On top of the post, there was the Google Chrome ad. Not surprisingly, Google is targeting web pages which have the word Firefox in them.

And below of the post, there was the ad thanking me for using Firefox and asking me to upgrade to Firefox 3.5. Talk about upgrading, I am already using 3.6 ! When Chrome is using so much publicity to improve its market share, I think Mozilla can do with updating its ads.

On Windows 7 particularly Firefox looks great now. Firefox now comes with:

• Support for tab previews in the Win 7 Superbar
• Aero Glass in the toolbar without any extension.
• The Stop and Reload buttons have been merged now.

Here are some screenshots from my Windows 7 machine.

Though there still seem to be issues with the Aero Glass feature (some rendering issues on the page portion just below the tab bar), it looks great. Expect the look to get more refined once the nightlies progress.
