I got advice once again today from iMamoo si r , he was annoyed I clicked a red site. Do you know what is a red site, let me tell you..

I keep searching internet for information day in day out. I do not know what kind of sites they are . Some may be good and some bad and some very bad. When I visit a bad site it will infect my system with spyware / malware. Once the system is infected it will send out a lot of spam mails from my system to a lot of mail ids. I will not even be aware that my system is being used for spamming These bad sites are called red sites. I am not supposed to open any red site. I hope you too don’t do this mistake. iMamoo goes red if you do..

He told me how to keep away from red sites. There is a small tool called SITE ADVISOR. It is freely available. Site advisor is a tool from Macafee. You can download the tool and install it. I say it is very simple. After installation open your browser. You have a surprise. You will find colors against each website – green, yellow, grey and red.

Green is a good site
Yellow is a, hmm… going to be a bad site
Grey… site which is not checked
Red …iMamoo… no I mean it is a bad site

Use the links below to download Site Advisor

Did this help you? Send it to all your friends who do not want to get infected. In return I ask for a favor? Is there a tool to check when iMamoo is red?

Mascots – The Design Element

What is a mascot?

A mascot is a symbol,groups or organizations use for good luck. The symbol could be a person, an animal or an object. Schools and sports teams often have mascots. Mascots are also used as fictional spokespeople for consumer products. The companies imbue the design with a character which inevitable has some sort of personality. The amazing thing is that these characters need not be animated in any way to effectively fill this roll.Mascots perhaps communicate more powerfully, this character will break the overly technical stereotypes of the type of product and puts it in a much more relaxed setting. Mascots can most certainly be a powerful tool to help set the mood you want to have for the site or a product.

Why Mascots?

Mascot costumes are what helps us to recognize a particular brand or root for a specific team. Where would McDonalds be without Ronald? Notre Dame without the Fighting Irish? Geico without its gecko? Mascots are important! They give us a sense of familiarity and a feeling of relation to a particular team or marketing brand.

Sure, you may feel sorry for the college kids standing outside of the local El Pollo Loco sweating in chicken costumes in the August heat. However, you might not patronize those businesses without the familiar characters. Likewise, you might not buy the merchandise for those particular sports teams were it not for the cute, powerful, or menacing team emblem. Mascots, as goofy as they may be, are important when it comes to generating enthusiasm .

What do mascots symbolize?

Mascots often symbolize something important in an organization’s name, history, or location. Eagles, hawks and lions and other powerful animals are often selected because they are symbols of strength. Mascots may also be chosen because they are funny and make people laugh.

Why are mascots important?

Mascots are fun. They help create spirit – for example, team spirit and school spirit. When people see other people with a sweatshirt, cap or t-shirt with that mascot they know they like the same school or team. Mascots help people feel like they are part of a group. They can make people laugh. They can make people feel proud.
