Remove Information Bubble from Embedded Google Maps Iframe

If you've ever tried to insert google maps iframe at you webpage, you've probably used google's own tool to personalize map viewport. There's possibility to alter viewport size, zoom and position, type and probably even more. But if you have open information bubble on your map, then even if you close it, it's still there when you insert generated code into your webapage. The solution is simple. Look at the src attribute of your iframe tag. There will be "iwloc=A" string somewhere (or possibly a different letter). The only thing you need to do to get rid of the bubble is to delete that letter.

Cisco VPN Client Blue Screen upon Connection

I’ve suffered with Blue Screen on my Windows XP when trying to connect with Cisco VPN Client. The crash happened right after the connection. Turned out there was two firewalls fighting - my Comodo Firewall and Cisco’s own firewall. Luckily, solution was found:
Cisco VPN client installs ZoneAlam Firewall and thus it conflicts with Comodo Firewall causing BSODs.

Resolution:
1 - Search your computer for vsdatant.sys and vsruledb.dll files.
2- Delete these files
3- Reboot your PC
