The Automagical DeTinyURLizer is a little hack that means that you will never again blindly click on a TinyURL or QURL and end up somewhere bad, the Automagical DeTinyURLizer intercepts the request, works some magic and gives you a clean DeTinyURLized link so you can see where it leads, and decide if you want to go there.

To use the Automagical DeTinyURLizer all you have to do is add the following line to your HOSTS file :

69.163.202.205 tinyurl.com
69.163.202.205 qurl.com
69.163.202.205 www.qurl.com


Please note that using the Automagical DeTinyURLizer makes it impossible for you to visit the TinyURL website.

The hosts file is found in :
Windows 95/98 : %SYSTEMROOT%
Windows NT/2k/XP : %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc
UNIX Derivatives (Linux, OS X, Open/Free/Net BSD) : /etc
