What's frightening about the spread of this Trojan is not the worm itself - it's really nothing new in terms of malware - but the way its being spread. Over the years people have learned to be suspicious of unknown links and attachments in their emails, so the virus writers turned to hit us where we're more vulnerable: on our social networks. Here, many people still have a feeling of comfort and security. They don't always have their guard up. picked by muppet 11 months ago tags facebook myspace network social comfort friends |

Here's a link I had to look up for a friend today. It's an online service where you can upload a file you want to check and it will scan the file with 20 different virus scanners and give you what each one reports on the file. This was pretty helpful back when my brother ran a random .exe which happened to include over 30 viruses. picked by Ross 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share technology |

Hardly surprising that a liberal democrat would want to tax more of your income. Of course reverting social security to something close to its original intent might help, but a plan like that wouldn't buy many votes from the entitlement-minded demographic. picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago 22 comments edit related share politics |
