Avast Antivirus Redistributable Download Link

May 1, 2015 Windows Jesin A 2 Comments

avast redistributable thumbnail

The download link available on the official Avast website links to the web installer of Avast free antivirus. Installing Avast using this file requires an active Internet connection for the full package to be downloaded. Googling “Avast redistributable download” brought up a lot of spammy looking websites which hosted the file on file sharing sites.

I got hold of the direct Avast redistributable download URL:

Blocking Google Analytics and Statcounter

June 28, 2013 Domains Jesin A 4 Comments

Web analytics software available today are designed with one quote in mind “Information is power”, so they collect a ton of information about you, the Internet user. This includes your location (Country and City), web browser used, referred page, your IP address (Google Analytics doesn’t show this info to webmasters), time on site and a wealth of other information. While there are lots of web analytics software available the two most popular of them are Google Analytics and Statcounter. There are lots of browser plugins and software available to block these but if you use this method you don’t have to install “yet another software” without reading its privacy policy and be worried about it collecting information about you.

While this article tells you how to block Google Analytics and Statcounter you can also use this method to block other web analytics scripts. Also note using these methods will prevent client-side scripts (like Javascript) from tracking you but server-side scripts (like PHP) can still track you.Continue Reading…

Windows devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices

This tip will show the non present devices in windows operating systems. When a device is plugged the driver for that device is installed for the proper functioning of that device, but later when you unplug it the device entry disappears from the Device Manager but the drivers still exist in the system. This becomes a hindrance in some situations. Recently I myself came across the error “Cannot rename this connection. A connection with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different name.” when renaming a LAN connection, even though there was no other connection by that name. This was because earlier I had an Ethernet card with a connection by that name, even after the card was removed the operating system refused to forget it :). So applying this trick worked for meContinue Reading…
