Facebook Virus strikes again

By Paul | Dec 4, 2008


“Look you were filmed all naked!” read the subject header on one iteration of the virus-spreading message, which is being sent automatically from infected accounts to the “friend” list for that account. Clicking the link usually takes users to a page that looks like YouTube, and a pop-up message advises the user to download a Flash plug-in. The download contains the virus, which replicates by contacting everyone on the victim’s Facebook friend list and advancing the hoax.

This is a good social engineered attack, they seem to have you download a virus into your system.  I Keep talking about how you need to be careful with emails.  I also suggest that you do a complete Virus scan if you think you’ve been hit with this.  There is only one way to prevent yourself from getting this little facebook virus and that is not to click it. Some other things to consider if you found out this was a virus is to contact the person who sent this to them so they to could do a virus scan on their system.

Youtube gets ready to Launch “LIVE Event!!” 5pm PST/8pm EST

By Paul | Nov 21, 2008

As the time approaches for the live even for Youtube. There are many confirmed and only one I want to see right now. As many people will agree that Mythbusters is the best show on Discovery Channel. They have been confirmed to be there tomorrow.

They are getting ready!!!

Some of the major players confirmed to be there are Mythbusters, Soulja Boy Tell’em, Katy Perry, Esmee Denters, Akon, FRED, and Will. I. Am.   Now I don’t know all these stars.   I do Know Mythbusters and I’ve heard of FRED.   I’m just stating who is going to be there.

Then the Obvious question comes to my mind and I am sure this is being asked by everyone right now.  Is Mythbusters shows coming to Youtube?  I would say from what all is going on with Youtube, they might become a competitor to Hulu.  With them adding High Defination Viewing and allowing bigger video to be uploaded. There is no question that Youtube and Google is getting ready to release a major statement, or change there direction.   So be ready tomorrow at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST and let’s see what happens.

Sites that you need not Visit:

By Paul | Nov 2, 2008

I’ve had some Anti-virus problems in the past few weeks and have been trying to see if it is my system or if it was just luck of the draw.  So I did some research and found some sites that you should not go to, or download from.   These sites have been know to spread the fake anti-virus malware software.   So I wanted to warn people of some common websites that have been known to have viruses on them:



  • hxxp://movieportal2008q.com/freemovie/Movie/xxxx/x/ — this site usually tries to send you the “Trojan.HTML.Zlob.AG” Virus.
  • hxxp://porntubedot.com/xxxxxxxx/WatchFreeMovie.php –This site usually tries to send you the “Trojan.Dropper.SMN” Virus.
  • hxxp://handballfondi.it/xxxxxx1.php — This site is one of the new Malware sites that looks like Youtube,   When you go to this site they say you need a special to play a video clip.  Most of the time when you get something like this, it is going to try to install Malware. A good broad set of Codecs that you may want to download is called Klite Mega Codec, which if you us that you should never need to download any other codec to play a movie clip from any site online.

Harold and The Purple Crayon

I thought this was really good animation.   What do you think?  Cute littel animation for kids.  I might go by the book at Amazon.  Clement Hurd was a childrens illistrator and I think he also made this book also but not entirely sure.  Does someone know?

Get over it, You’ve got no Privacy on the net!!

By Paul | Jul 12, 2008

I’ve been talking to my friends at work and in other places, they’ve all asked the same question from time to time.  “Is privacy on the internet a possibility?”  and in short my answer is “No, you’ve got no privacy on the Internet!“  This is what I like to refer to as people wanting privacy to be on the internet.  Let’s face it folks, there is no privacy on the internet.  People are worried about Youtube debacle and I understand! In today’s society and time there is no privacy.  If let’s say you’ve come to my site.  What would I find out you?

  1. Your IP
  2. What you searched for in Google, Yahoo, AOL, to get to my site!
  3. Type of Operating System (Windows, Linux, or Macintosh)
  4. Where you just came from, unless you’ve chosen to come to my site directly
  5. You screen resolution
  6. You browser your using!

I don’t tell you this to make you not want to visit my site.  This type of stuff is always going to be recorded by almost 95% websites you visit.  It’s always going to be an unspoken understanding.  I have to keep up to date on what happens on my site.  It’s just normal to get the information and be able to see where everyone is coming from.
