This one happened to my friend. He was directed to go to www.LovelyMovies.com to get the password of some file but never received it. Instead he was redirected to some online selling site.
If you are redirected to obtain passwords of some protected files to www.lovelymovies.com, be sure that you won't get it. It is a scam to get you to online shops under the reference of this site.
I checked out this site to find what it was doing. I did this in a sand-boxed Firefox running on a virtual machine to ensure that my computer will be safe.
This site first shows up a page saying that the password is saved in a secure location and it is being retrieved and the site will serve you with the password in no time. But when you click the enter button, you will be redirected to a survey page and asked to fill in a survey.
If you aren't a person who backs out, you will find that the survey is not actually a survey, it is a link to a online selling site. In my case I was redirected to snapdeal.com.
And this was a dead end. Only thing you could do is close everything. You won't get any passwords thats a surety.
What to do.
If you see anywhere that you need to go to www.LovelyMovies.com to obtain a password, just delete the file. And never go to that site because god knows what scripts are hiding in that site.

How to take screenshots in HTC Explorer without root(Video)
this is a short tutorial on taking screenshots in HTC Explorer, HTCs new addition to the low-midrange section.
You will be using two buttons for taking screenshots in the Explorer. One is the power button located on the top of the phone and the home button located at the left most part of lower touch sensitive buttons.
For capturing a desired screen, you need to hold the power button and then tap the home button. Once the screenshot is taken, there is a camera click sound and the screen mo monetarily whites out. A message 'Screenshot is saved to Camera Shots folder' is also shown. See the video below
Once you press and hold the power button, you have a 2 second window to tap the home button. If you delay, the power options will be displayed and further tapping of the home button won't result in a capture.
You can take screen shots even when the phone is under lock with the same method. Only difference is the absence of visual clues like the whitening of the screen and the message. But the click sound would still be heard and the image will be saved to the same 'Camera Shots' folder.
The captured screens can be viewed by going to the gallery app. You can see all the screenshots in the Camera Shots folder ( see video)
