403 forbidden:The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.
Why Does 403 Forbidden Happen?
There’s actually a number of reasons why these annoying little buggers happen, but the most common is caused when new programs are installed over all old ones without the old ones being completely uninstalled 100% first, causing registry pile ups. Another reason, is damage that’s been done by malware/spyware/adware programs, attaching themselves to your PC and wrecking havoc, deleting crucial files from your PC.
work around in firefox: click tools -> options -> privacy
click show cookies button, open twitter.com folder, delete _twitter_session cookie.
There are several reasons. On the server side, that could mean:
• Congested server and/or network and/or datapaths
• Errors in accessing database, files, network and other resources that are badly handled (meaning: not sufficient, even not at all).
On the client side, it could be that
• Your browser doesn’t behave as it should
• Your connection is congested
I don’t want to scare you, but I need to ask this since you appear to ask from a Windows-based machine: Have you checked your system recently on malware (Rootkits, Virus, trojans), and do you run a virus-scanner that is up-to-date?
The reason is that these ‘products’ can cause a lot of traffic without you knowing it. It could lead your ISP and certain sites to block you – causing more or less permanent 403 pages.
Ruling out your PC as cause of trouble: Is you wireless connection protected (access key, encryption)? It’s another possible source of abuse.
You may well be using a proxy server and a firewall, whether you realize it or not. Various of these capabilities can exist in your WiFi router, and the ISP can configure these into its network.
This could be malware, or it might not. It’s also possible that there are parental controls, a routing problem, or a device hardware or software or configuration error within your WiFi device.
Borrow a Mac laptop or a Linux box from somebody and see if that works; Mac and Linux boxes are not usually vulnerable to typical Windows pestilence.
Any of these borrowed boxes can be used to troubleshoot the configuration; to determine if there’s a problem with your router, your network, or elsewhere.

BOM SABADO!
If you are amongst the few who still give a damn about Orkut, you might have noticed something fishy going on over the past few hours. A large number of users are randomly flooding their friend’s scrapbooks (Orkut’s equivalent of Facebook Wall) with the following message:
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the “Bom Sabado!” messages are automatically generated by a script. However, it is not clear if this is simply a script exploiting vulnerability in Orkut, or have the accounts sending the automated scraps been compromised.
If you are amongst those affected, it’s highly recommended that you follow the steps highlighted below:
Switch to the “older version” of Orkut.
Log out of Orkut.
Clean your browser’s cache and cookies.
Log in and change your password and security question.
If you haven’t been affected yet, it is strongly advised that you avoid Orkut until the issue has been resolved. I managed to trigger the same exploit while researching this article. Recently other high profile websites like Twitter and YouTube also fell victim to XSS attacks.
This is a developing story; we will update this topic as soon as we learn more. In the meanwhile, stay tuned to Techie Buzz and don’t forget to share your experience, if you have also been affected.
Update 1: The worm appears to have originated in Brazil, where Orkut is still exceptionally popular. Many of the affected users are noticing the Brazilian flag on their status messages. Additionally, the word ‘Bom Sabado’ means ‘Good Saturday’ in Portuguese, which is the official language of Brazil. We are still awaiting an official response from Google.
Update 2: ‘Bom Sabado’ is now trending on Google.

the latest orkut virus..."bom sabado!"
Bom Sabado! This name reminds me of my next door kid who keeps on yelling those “Power Rangers” chants! But it’s not! And this “Bom Sabado” is shaking the entire Orkut from past few hours.
Bom Sabado means “A Good Saturday” in Portuguese language (thanks to Google translation feature). But it’s surely a bad Saturday for many Google’s Orkut users, as this Bom Sabado virus compromised thousands of accounts in India and in Brazil as well.
What is Bom Sabado all about?
It’s just the name of the new worm which is eating up the Orkut accounts. If you are a fulltime Orkut user, you are well aware of those virus infections. This is just another Orkut virus, but it’s biggest and you don’t need to click any links to get hacked!
Bom Sabado Orkut virus infected profiles are automatically posting virus scraps on to the other’s scrapbooks. A near watching of Bom Sabado scrap in your scrapbook or in your friends’ scrapbooks is more than enough to get your account hacked.
Gone are the days where you have to click on a link to get hacked! This time the hackers used the XSS technology to target one of world’s popular social networking platform Orkut.
The best way to keep your accounts safe is not logging onto the Orkut for some time. Orkut didn’t responded on this issue, but I am pretty sure they would have started working on it to fix the issues.
If you find your account hacked, don’t get panic. Revert back to the old Orkut layout, unjoin from the Brazilian communites, and change your password.
If you can’t access Orkut, simply cleanup the cookies and the temporary internet files from the PC, and try to login.

Trojan Remover aids in the removal of Malware - Trojan Horses, Worms, Adware, Spyware - when standard anti-virus software either fails to detect them or fails to effectively eliminate them. Standard antivirus programs are good at detecting this Malware, but not always good at effectively removing it.
Trojan Remover is designed to work on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7. The program is not compatible with any 64bit version of Windows. (A version still compatible with Windows 98/ME can be downloaded from here).
The majority of Virus and Trojan Scanners are well able to detect malicious software - Trojan Horses, Internet Worms, Adware/Spyware etc. - but are not always very efficient in removing them once they have been triggered.
Trojan Remover is designed specifically to disable/remove Malware without the user having to manually edit system files or the Registry. The program also removes the additional system modifications some Malware carries out which are ignored by standard antivirus and trojan scanners.
Trojan Remover scans ALL the files loaded at boot time for Adware, Spyware, Remote Access Trojans, Internet Worms and other malware. Trojan Remover also checks to see if Windows loads Files/Services which are hidden by Rootkit techniques and warns you if it finds any.
Download Trojan Remover
