You have to click on enable

Here's a look on post on their official Gmail blog

We're always looking for new ways to protect Gmail inboxes from spam and phishing. Last year, we started taking extra steps to protect you from fake eBay and PayPal emails, requiring that any email claiming to come from one of eBay's or PayPal's domains actually comes from them. We do that by looking at the "From" header, and when it says "ebay.com" for example, it means it really did come from ebay.com. Anything else is rejected; it won't even appear in your spam folder because Gmail won't accept it.

Right now this feature only checks on ebay and paypal ,but more will be coming soon

Ways To Access Blocked Websites

Hi friends today i am back with you with some internet tips not with the usual tips of my blogging.As you would have seen while accessing some sites you are blocked from opening them,if you surfing them from your school ,college or from an office if you are employed.While when i was in college we were blocked from using social media sites like orkut and in offices you will be blocked from using many sites like these to get surf.So we got to use proxies at that time to access them but it may not work always,so i am sharing many ways to get access these websites and implement it according to your need to make it work.You may also find an important tip on how to make slower internet connection browse faster.

1) Using IP Instead of URL

This depends on the software/application used. Sometimes blocked sites are stored as a list of URLs (eg. www.yahoo.com, www.donwload.com,etc) and typing the IP instead of the URL might sometimes work. In a local computer, doing a ping domain.com command in Command Prompt (Mac users use Terminal) will return you the IP address. You can also do it online via www.whatsmyip.org.

2) Redirection with Short URL service

Sometimes the URL you intend to browse might be ban, but converting them to another a shorter URL with short URL services might just help you to bypass the settings.

Here’s 2 Short URL service you can use – MooURL, SnipURL

3) Google Cache

Search engines like Google and Yahoo cache webpages and these cached pages are stored in search engines themselves, which likely will be added to the blocked list. Click on the ‘cache’ will bring you to a cache version of the page, as updated as how Google caches it.

4) Internet Archive – Wayback Machine

Wayback Machine is a internet service that periodically keeps a copy of almost all websites in the Internet way from the date they’re started. Clicking on the latest copy of what Wayback Machine have should be somewhat similar to the real site. Another way to access blocked sites via caches.

5) Anonymous Surfing

Some site allows you to take advantage of their proxy or domain to surf other sites as anonymous. Just search proxy websites on google and you get a list of them.

6) Use Proxy in Browsers

There are tons of sites out there that distributes free proxies of almost any country. Here’s an example. Check out the following methods on how/where to insert proxies in your web browsers.

Proxy Surfing – Firefox

Under Advanced tab, select Network tab, then click inside Connection Settings. Select Manual proxy configuration, put proxy under HTTP proxy.

Proxy Surfing – Internet Explorer

Go to Tools -> Internet Options. Select Connections tab. Click into LAN Settings, check Proxy Server. Insert your proxy URL inside Address.

7) Bypass with Translations services

Online translation services like AltaVista BabelFish, Google Translate allows you to translate a website from one language to another and display the translated results on their own page.The trick here is to enter the URL (website you’re blocked), retranslate it even if you don’t need to and let Google or AltaVista fetch you the content.

8) Subscribe to RSS Feed

This might not work for all sites, but if the site you intended to visit provides RSS feeds, you can subscribe and read it with a RSS reader, or have it regularly send the contents to your email.

9) Retrieve web pages via Email

Web2Mail is a free service that sends websites you want to read right into your inbox. All you need to do is send an email to www@web2mail.com with the URL as subject title.

Free Zemana Antilogger

Today giveawayoftheday offers an interesting Zemana AntiLogger Host Intrusion Prevention System otherwise shareware but today-only free for everyone.The only limitation is that you have to download and register it today.So grab your free 1-year license key, and protect yourself from trojans, keyloggers and all kinds of nasty digital annoyances with this powerful HIPS.

For a while back while it was still in beta stage I tested Zemana AntiLogger and I have to say it looked very interesting.
Zemana AntiLogger now covers pretty much every aspect of Windows including registry modification and dll injection prevention and protects Windows from other spyware-related techniques with Anti-Keylogger, Anti-SreeenLogger, Anti-WebLogger and Anti-ClipboardLogger tools of its own. Another useful feature this apps has is while-list approach (in contrast to Anti-Virus blacklist approach) meaning it automatically recognizes "safe" programs and does not treat them as "suspects"

My words on Zemana Antilogger. Grab it and do yourself a favor. Although with a similar goal like majority of Anti-Virus apps, this little utility offers much more advanced and different approach to protect one's computer from malware.
