You can easily jailbreak Ipad,iPhone and iPod touch using Spirit and then install any of your favourite apps.

What’s Spirit?
Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch on the latest firmwares.
Spirit is not a carrier unlock.
If you currently are using a tethered jailbreak, you have to restore to use Spirit. Do not upgrade if you use an unlock on an iPhone 3G or 3GS. (You can, however, restore to 3.1.2 if you have SHSH blobs for that version.)

Requirements
Any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2.
An activated device: one not stuck on the Connect to iTunes or Emergency Call screen.
Any version of iTunes 9 (including 9.1.1).
Syncing with iTunes before trying this is highly recommended.

To start the process of jailbreaking what you need to do is to first download Spirit using the following links

Windows:
http://www.spiritjb.com/win

Mac OSX:
http://www.spiritjb.com/mac

This jailbreak is real simple, just connect your iDevice to your computer via your USB cable, open Spirit and hit jailbreak, it will do it so fast you won’t notice it

Once the jailbreak has finished.Please follow the steps mentioned below.

First find Cydia on your springboard and open it, usually when you open Cydia for the first time it says it has to reorganize icons (this is normal, just let it do it and it will restart Cydia, if not just open Cydia yourself)

Next you need to go to the Manage tab then select Sources
Once in sources you need to select Edit at the top then you will notice the Manage button will change to Add, select Add.

A new window will open and already have http:// in it, leave this and just type after it. You need to type in “cydia.hackulo.us” (without the quotes) so it should look like http://cydia.hackulo.us

Once its loaded you will get some crap about the repository being illegal, just ignore this. Afer leaving the black screen where it installs some stuff you next need to go to the Sections tab.

Scroll down until you find Hackulo.us, select this.

Now you need to make sure you select the right thing here, if you are on a iPhone/iPod Touch select AppSync for OS 3.1. If you are on a iPad select AppSync for OS 3.2. Install the one you need for your iDevice. This is required if you wish to install apps which you download for free, it tricks iTunes into thinking there legit although there not but we don’t care do we? Smile Now if you want to install apps from your iDevice you can download Installous, just repeat the same step as before and install.

Before somedays i wrote a post Microsoft Security Essentials Beta.Now the time of final version has come.Microsoft has released the final version of Microsoft Security Essentials final which has some bugs fixed the number of this final version is 1.0.1611.0 .This version is supported with Windows XP,Windows Vista and Windows 7 both 32 bit and 64 bit versions available.

“Consumers have told that they want the protection of real-time security software but we know that too many are either unwilling or unable to pay for it, and so end up unprotected,” said Amy Barzdukas, general manager for consumer security at Microsoft. “With Microsoft Security Essentials, consumers can get high-quality protection that is easy to get and easy to use – and it won’t get in their way.”

Microsoft created MSE to address a very simple problem: Far too many PCs are unprotected with out-of-date anti-malware products. The company tells me there are a number of reasons for this. First, because many new PCs come with only time-limited security solutions, some users believe they’re protected even though the initial subscription period may have ended. Some don’t even activate the free, bundled solutions at all. Some–especially those in emerging markets–can’t or won’t pay for security suites, most of which need to be renewed every year.
