Do you know what the CNN.com Daily Top 10 email is?

DESCRIPTION

The CNN.com Daily Top 10 email downloads the Trojan-Downloader.Agent.EL Infection onto your computer. We have discovered that a spam email message titled “CNN.com Daily Top 10″ is circulating over the internet and ultimately downloading a Trojan Downloader file.

In non-techie terms: Spammers commonly use catchy subject lines and spend a great deal of time making the fake email look legitimate. In the case of the CNN.com Daily Top 10 email message it looks like it came directly from CNN.com expect the senders domain address does not coincide. If this email is opened and a link is clicked it will redirect you to a malicious website that offers a viewing of a video. If you attempt to play the video on this site it will prompt you with a message that asks you to update the Flash Player in order to play it. The Flash Player download that it provides drops the get_flash_update.exe file. If the get_flash_update.exe file is executed it will then download the Trojan-Downloader.Agent.EL infection.

Demo: Previous Versions of files in Windows Vista

Today, Esther is going to show off the Previous Versions. This feature is part of the Shadow Copy feature in Windows Vista. This is a really helpful feature that has saved me numerous times!   It essentially makes incremental back-ups of your work - so if you accidentally delete content, you can find it again and recover it with a single click.  Anyone who has modified a document and clicked "save" instead of "save as" will appreciate Previous Versions!


Video: Windows Vista Demo: Previous Versions

Let me know what you think of this and the other features we've discussed this week (Search and Live Icons) - we'd love your feedback!

PowerAntiSpy Removal Guide

Do you know what PowerAntiSpy is?

DESCRIPTION

PowerAntiSpy or Power AntiSpy, is fake anti-spyware designed to trick you into spending your money on a licensed version of this malicious program when it is not necessary. PowerAntiSpy should defiantly not be your first choice of programs for removing spyware because it does a very lousy job at it. Actually, PowerAntiSpy does not remove any spyware, only the money from your wallet.

If you end up with PowerAntiSpy installed on your system then you may be greeted with a plethora of popups or system alert messages that claim you have infections on your computer. We found these messages to be untrue. PowerAntiSpy is the actual parasite or program that should be removed from your computer.

In non-techie terms: You should never install or purchase PowerAntiSpy under any circumstances. PowerAntiSpy is a waste of time and money. Why spend $30 to $80 on a program that is as useless when you can use that money to fill your gas tank?

Aliases: PowerAntiSpy, Power AntiSpy, Power-Anti-Spy.

Computer Freaks will Always Want Higher Specs

For some reason, computer geeks want the top of the line desktops and with the works. Normally, there is no reason for it. They just want to be equipped with desktops with high-end peripherals such as video cards, processors and memory chip modules. Perhaps one reason here is that with the vast array of software and things they can do with a computer desktop, they want to be a step ahead.

Such is a logical reason for a computer wiz that spends most of his time behind the keyboard. Programming, image editing or simple blogging for that matter are the potential reason that most people consider. It may be an overkill for most people but the level of satisfaction for people who want to get a lot from computers is a given in this modern age.

Computers and peripherals change as fast as technology evolved. We know that something new is coming out everyday and once that happens, old parts suddenly find themselves needing a price drop. For people, this area for consideration is something they don’t consider. All they care about is getting the latest parts at all cost and regardless of how much they would be.

Call it fickle-minded
