I've been writing a lot about confiker and how to remove it on my blogs and websites, now lets talk about another danger and important to remove thread "Net-Worm.Win32.Kido.ih" which is only another name of Confiker with another style of work:

Net-Worm.Win32.Kido.ih Information:

OpenDNS is a free DNS service to replace your ISP provided DNS service, a DNS server is simply a computer that converts domains like Google.com to an IP number then connects you with the right server by it's IP number, this happens on the server so you basically just type Google.com and find it on your face.
OpenDNS will do the same thing but including a lot of freebies that your ISP wont give you.
The first thing is protecting you from Confiker, Confiker Worm aka "Downup" takes orders from a main master computer so if you block it's way it will do nothing, OpenDNS will block Confiker from connecting to more then 10000 infected domains since it will be the gate between you and the domains world.
other benefits by using OpenDNS are protecting you from fishing domains, faster DNS resolving and no more "Connecting to website", if you register you will gain access to reports about your network like top requested domains, filter domains and time wasters, protect your kids from Adult related domains, make shortcuts to domains.

You can configure your DNS easily by modifying settings of your DSL router which is the best way in case you are using it at a home network.
It's so easy to get started no matter what kind of connection you use to connect to the internet.

I wont take anymore of your time, go to OpenDNS.com and find out your self.

What is AdSense for domains?

AdSense for domains allows publishers with undeveloped domains to help users by providing relevant information including ads, links and search results.

With AdSense for domains, users can find relevant information rather than see empty pages or "page not found" errors. To ensure positive user experience and the quality of our network, these sites are monitored for policy compliance and prohibited from using text and images designed to confuse users.

AdSense for domains provides advertisers with additional opportunities to find their customers, and ads on these pages convert well. In addition, we regularly receive requests from advertisers who have found domains to be an effective way to reach their users.

If you have undeveloped domains, then AdSense for domains can help your users. To get started, check out our setup instructions, and visit our Help Center for more information.

Q: What domains are eligible for AdSense for domains?
A: AdSense for domains can be used on any domain that adheres to Google’s policies.

Q: Is Google involved in the selection or registration of the domains in the AdSense for domains program?

A: Google is not involved with the selection or registration of these domain names, and is not in a position to arbitrate trademark disputes between the registrants, our partners, and trademark owners. Accordingly, we encourage trademark owners to resolve their disputes directly with the registrants or registrars. As a courtesy to trademark owners, Google provides a simple publicly available complaint procedure and, once notified of a legitimate complaint against a specific domain, Google will no longer serve ads to that domain. For instructions on how to file a complaint, please refer to the Trademark Complaint Process page. Additionally, a copy of our publicly available trademark policy is available online.

Q: Where can I find more information about the AdSense for domains program?

A: Please refer to our Help Center for more information.



Edit:

It's possible, I found out that there is a folder on my system called:
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\My Google Gadgets - Windows vista it might look like
c:\documents and settings\UserName\My Google Gadgets "Just a guess" if you didn't find it search for it.

all you have to do is to drop your .gg files there, close and start Google desktop again, click the add gadgets button (+) and chose your gadget > add, Enjoy, this was so simple I wonder why nobody posted a solution before.

My old post as a reference only:
install/open ".gg" Files on windows, First of all, if you are a windows user you must use the (+) add gadgets button on top of your Google side bar, but you can only chose from the available ones already there so you can't install them for the bad of luck. .gg files are only for Mac "Macintosh" running OSx or later and Google gadgets as you can see in Google answers:



I have downloaded a Google Gadget (.gg) file. How can I install it on my Mac?

To install a Google Gadget (.gg) file on your Mac:

1. Double-click the Google Gadgets application to start it (if it's not running already).
2. In the Finder, locate the file called .gg.
3. Drag the .gg file to the Google Gadgets icon in the Dock and drop it there. After a moment, Dashboard appears, and you'll see the gadget.

Note: To install applications, use the Google Gadget List displayed by the Google Gadgets application, rather than downloading the .gg file separately. Gadgets that you download outside the Google Gadgets application have not been screened for Mac compatibility.

Also Linux "KDE or Gnome" environments, and there is absolutely no way to convert them to windows yet, all you can do is to be satisfied with the ones provided by Google.
