Run AdwCleaner. AdwCleaner is a free program that will target any malware installed into your browser. It should only be downloaded from the developer's website to ensure that you don't download a fake program.

• AdwCleaner is a small program, and doesn't need to be installed in order to run.
• Close any browser windows before running AdwCleaner.
• Run the scan. This may take several minutes to complete.
• Check the report. Once the scan is complete, you will be shown a report of all the programs and registry entries that will be removed. If you don't see anything on it you need to keep, click the "Delete" button.
• Reboot your computer.

     Run Malwarebyte Anti-Malware. This is another free program that will scan your computer and remove malware. It is important to run multiple programs, as none of them are perfect. Unlike AdwCleaner, Anti-Malware will need to be installed before you can run it. Only download this program directly from the developers, do NOT download it from sites such as Download.com or Softpedia.
     • Scan your computer. This scan can take several minutes. You don't necessarily need to run the full scan.
     • Remove any results. Make sure all the results that appear are checked, and then click the "Remove Selected" button to delete them.

India set to deliver first defence export order, a warship to Mauritius

India will export its first defence equipment, a warship to Mauritius, in December.

The off-shore patrol vessel developed by the State-owned Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd (GRSE), is currently undergoing sea trials.



The warship, christened CGS Barracuda, will be handed over to the Mauritius coast guard, and is expected to cost $50 million (or Rs. 300 crore under current exchange rates).

According to AK Verma, Chairman and Managing Director, GRSE, the defence public sector utility is also looking at exploring the export scenario. Preliminary discussions have begun with several countries in Africa, the Far East and Latin America.

“Our first export order, a warship, will be delivered to Mauritius by December this year. We are also looking to tap the export segment in the coming days. Preliminary discussions have begun with some countries,” he said. Verma was speaking on the sidelines of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)-organised seminar on Defence-Industry Linkage.

Kolkata-based GRSE is a mini-ratna PSU functioning under the Ministry of Defence. It reported a turnover of Rs. 1,600 crore for FY-14 and is looking at a “little increase” in revenues this year.


Order-book size ::
Meanwhile, the company has received 16 orders amounting to Rs. 10,000 crore from the Navy. The orders are expected to be completed over the next few years.

According to Verma, the order-book includes four anti-submarine warfare ships, eight landing craft utility ships, and four first-attack crafts.

Of these, one anti-submarine warfare ship was delivered to the Navy earlier this year, while the second one is expected around June–August in 2015. The ships have as high as 90 per cent indigenisation, he said.

Deliveries of the landing craft utility ships and first-attack crafts are expected to begin from the “middle of next year”.

“We are hopeful of an increase in orders from the Centre in the coming days,” Verma said.

Russia expresses interest in aircraft production in India

NEW DELHI: Russia has expressed interest in production of civil and light transport aircraft in India with their technology, Parliament was informed on Friday.

The Indian government has welcomed the Russian interest and is committed to enhancing bilateral investment and trade cooperation, commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.

"The Russian side expressed their interest in production of civil aircraft, light transport aircraft and helicopter in India with Russian technology," she said.

The eighth session of the Indian-Russia Forum on trade and investment was held here on November 5.

Replying to a separate question on coffee industry, she said that stem borer pest is amongst major constraints affecting cultivation of Arabica variety of coffee.

"The combined effects of higher temperatures, reduction of shade for increasing the yield of pepper grown as intercrop and lack of timely control measures by the growers have led to increase in the incidence of the pest," she said.

About 3,200 hectares of productive area in Karnatka are reported to have been affected by stem borer due to long dry spell from November 2013 to May 2014 and resultant high temperatures.

She added that several steps have been initiated to address the problem of pest in coffee cultivation.

"The government has approved a two year action plan (2014-15 and 2015-16) for combating the stem borer in affected areas," the minister said.

Arjun Mk.2 MBT

India's Arjun Mk.2 MBT To Enter Final Trial Leg

Add caption

On display at Defexpo this year, the Arjun Mk.2 main battle tank sits on a razor's edge: from Delhi it will be transported back to Rajasthan, where it will undergo two more critical trial phases supervised by the Indian Army. Like the Mk.1, the new tank is a monster. Got a chance to clamber onto it today for some shots. A DRDO officer at the tank display said the final two phasespertained to mobility in water (medium fording), mobility across obstacles, missile firing and fresh regular ammunition firing routines. These rounds will be undertaken with the onset of summer from next month and will continue till the middle of the year. User trials began in May 2012. The Indian Army has indented for 124 of the Mk.2 for two tank regiments, though the DRDO is trying to get the Army to more than double that order. Things remain toughthough.

Indian Light Copter Bid Extended 7 Times, Could Exasperated Airbus Eject?

Two days after India's new government took office on May 26, Airbus Helicopters(formerly Eurocopter) wrote the latest in a string of exasperated letters to the head of the Indian MoD's acquisition wing. The letter, like every one of those before it, nearly pleaded for an early decision in India's light helicopter competition that has remained more or less adrift for six years since bids were first submitted.

The competition for 197 light reconnaissance and surveillance helicopters (RSH) -- 133 for the Army and 64 for the IAF -- began in July 2008. Airbus' letter last month is only the latest instalment of what has for a while been a painfully protracted graveyard spiral. The letter devotes a paragraph to grave support issues vexing the Cheetah/Chetak fleet of light choppers in service with the IAF and Army at high altitudes (this newspaper report two daysafter Airbus' letter draws attention to precisely that), where the new choppers are intended as replacements. Last year, the deal was singed by investigations into India's now infamous AgustaWestland VVIP copter deal. It was an ambiguous mess until the two companies -- the other RusHeliCo for the Ka-226T Sergei -- were told around Christmas last year that things would move forward.

Airbus sources says the company's commercial bid, first submitted in December 2008, has been extended a record seven times. Reluctant to extend the bid for the seventh time last year, the company was told by the MoD that there was 'positive movement' and persuaded to extend the validity of its bid for the AS 550 C3 Fennec by six months. That bid expires at the end of the month we're in. Again, no breaths held.

INDO US NUCLEAR DEAL ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE

There are lot of talks about 1 2 3 Agreement between India & USA and it almost led to the topple of Central Government.Indo-US civilian nuclear agreement is the name commonly attributed to a bilateral agreement on nuclear cooperation between the United States of America and the Republic of India. The framework for this agreement was a Joint Statement by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and U.S. President George Bush, under which India agreed to separate its civil and military nuclear facilities and place its civil facilities under IAEA safeguards and, in exchange, the United States agreed to work toward full civil nucleear cooperation with India.Reason for taking Nuclear deal Signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are granted access to civilian nuclear technology from each other as well as nuclear fuel via the Nuclear Suppliers Group in exchange for International Atomic Energy Agency-verified compliance of the NPT tenets. India, Israel, and Pakistan, however, have not signed the NPT, arguing that instead of addressing the central objective of universal and comprehensive non-proliferation, the treaty creates a club of “nuclear haves” and a larger group of “nuclear have-nots” by restricting the legal possession of nuclear weapons to those states that tested them before 1967, who alone are free to possess and multiply their nuclear stockpiles.India insists on a comprehensive action plan for a nuclear-free world within a specific time-frame and has also adopted a voluntary “no first use policy”.
In response to a growing Chinese nuclear arsenal, India conducted a nuclear test in 1974 (called “peaceful nuclear explosion” and explicitly not for “offensive” first strike military purposes but which could be used as a “peaceful deterrence”). Led by the US, other nations set up an informal group, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), to control exports of nuclear materials, equipment and technology. As a result, India was relegated to a pariah status within the international nuclear order. India conducted 5 more nuclear tests in May, 1998 at Pokhran.What is 123 Agreement?This is called 123 Agreement because this comes under USA’s Atomic Power Act Section 123.Let’s see how India’s (Indians?) Sovereinty & Independence are pledged…(1) After this Agreement USA will supply all fuel, machinery / equipment & technology to India for producing Nuclear Power.(2) All these days from about 22 Nuclear Power Plants, India is producing power as well as Atom. It’s a high security / secret that from where which is produced, how much is produced, where it is supplied, what research is being done with that, etc. to anybody. But if we sign this Agreement, we have to disclose these secrets and also agree to 14 of our Nuclear Power Plants to be under the scanner of International Atomic Power Organisation.
(3) The fuel utilised to produce Atomic Power can be recycled for reuseand this plant will be under direct supervision of IAPO.If India does nuclear test, this agreement gets cancelled. But(1) USA will take back all the machinery / equipments / technology supplied to India thus far.
(2) Those 14 plants will continue to be under scanner irrespective of the status of the agreement.On the other hand, if any of the commitments given by USA is breached by them, then there is no clause for cancelling this agreement.
Why this aggrement is facing opposition in india?Although many mainstream political parties including the Indian National Congress support the deal along with regional parties like Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Rashtriya Janata Dal its realisation has run into difficulties in the face of stiff political opposition in India. Also, in November 2007, former Indian Military chiefs, bureaucrats and scientists drafted a letter to Members of Parliament expressing their support for the deal. However, opposition and criticism continued at political levels. The Samajwadi Party (SP) which was with the Left Front in opposing the deal changed its stand after discussing with ex-president of India and nuclear scientist Dr A P J Abdul Kalam. Now SP is in support of the government and the deal. Indian Government survived a vote of confidence by 275-256 after communists withdrew their support to the government over this dispute.Bharatiya Janata PartyThe main opposition party BJP which laid the groundwork for the deal criticized the deal saying that the deal in its present form was unacceptable to BJP and wanted the deal renegotiated. The BJP the current main opposition party in the Indian parliament has asked the government not to accept the deal without a vote in the parliament. However, the government remained steadfast on its commitment to the deal and has refused to back down on the agreement, leading to the possibility of mid-term elections in India. 81 year old veteran BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani, in a statement to the Indian Express newspaper, seemed to indicate willingness to support the government provided some legislative measures.However his party refused to follow that line and stuck to its earlier stand.
Left FrontThe primary opposition to the Nuclear deal in India, however, comes from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and its parliamentary allies (CPI, RSP, AIFB) November 17 the left parties had provisionally agreed to let the government initiate talks with the IAEA for India specific safeguards which indicated that they may support.The CPI(M), an external parliamentary supporter of government as it stipulates conditions that in some areas are more severe than the clauses in either the NPT or the CTBT. The left front formally removed the support to UPA-led government on July 8.OthersIn 2006, some Indian ex-nuclear scientists had written an appeal to Indian Members of Parliament to ensure that “decisions taken today do not inhibit India’s future ability to develop and pursue nuclear technologies for the benefit of the nation”. United Nationalist Progressive Alliance (UNPA)The UNPA was divided over support of the nuclear deal. While the SP supported it after consultations with Abdul Kalam, the other members of the UNPA led by the TDP opposed it saying that the deal is against India’s interest. The SP was eventually suspended from the UNPA.
Bahujan Samaj PartyThe BSP also opposed the nuclear deal, saying that it was anti-muslim. The party joined hands with the Left Front and the TDP in voting against the government in Parliament on the nuclear deal. The IAEA approvalThe IAEA Board of Governors approved the safeguards agreement on August 1st 2008, and now the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group must approve a policy allowing nuclear cooperation with India before President Bush can make the necessary certifications and seek final approval by the U.S. Congress. There were objections from Iran, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland and Austria at the IAEA meeting
Requirement of PowerThe most important requirement for India’s Economic Growth in the coming years will be the power & nfrastructure. The argument put forth favouring the 123 Agreement says that we need Nuclear Power Production to be increased to meet the demand.
Power Production in India Presently following are the figures:Thermal Power66%Hydel Power26%Solar & Wind Power5% – Presently Rs.600 Crores are spent for producing this power.Nuclear Power3% – If this is to be increased to 6%, it requires additional Rs.50,000 Crores.
Naturally it will be wise to increase other 3 modes of power production rather than the expensive & dangerous Nuclear Power. Isn’t??URANIUMWe used to import Uranium from various other countries.After the Pokran Test,we are not getting it.To augment the supply,we need to sign the 123 Agreement to get Uranium from USA.Bt we ill have to declare to USA from which power plant India takes raw material for producing Atom Bomb.Why should we disclose our internal secrets to those rascals? Will any one allow an outsider to continuously monitor what’s happening in your Hall & Kitchen of your house?Other study reveals that Uranium is available in India aplenty.
