Gmail tips and tricks
Recently I found out a trick in gmail that I felt very interesting.The trick is like having a gmail address and making many gmail addresses by using the simple operators like .,+.
Gmail doesn't differentiate between the following addresses
raghubharat@gmail.com
raghu.bharat@gmail.com
r.a.g.hu.bharat@gmail.com
some other mail id with . in middle
The trick here is suppose you have a gmail id yourname@gmail.com you will recieve the mails sent to any combination of your email id with . operator
2) The second trick is using the + operator.You can add some random text using the +operator to your gmail id
FOR EXample: raghubharat+yourtext@gmail.com
Hence beware of spammers who can send emails to these.I recommend you to keep some random number to have a unique id.

If you discover a suspicious file on your machine, or suspect that a program you downloaded from the Internet might be malicious, you can check the files here.Indicate the file to be checked; it will automatically be uploaded from your computer to a dedicated server, where it will be scanned using Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Multiple independent tests and publications acknowledge the solution to have exceptional detection rates. Updates every three hours ensure that even the very newest viruses can be detected.
Only one file of up to 1 MB can be checked at any one time. If the file is too large, a window with an error message will be displayed. Type the name of the file in the window at the top of this page, or find the file using 'Browse'. Then click on 'Submit'.If you have several potentially suspicious files, you can check them one after the other, or create an archive file (in zip, arj or similar format) and check that. The archive should not be larger than 1 MB
