New Worm Targets Myspace & Facebook

Apparently, there is a new worm being spread via Myspace and Facebook. It is spreading through messages that contain what seemingly looks like video links. If you click it, a prompt will show up for a download of a supposedly “latest” flash player when it’s really not. Those who actually does click it and downloads the executable file is infected and the next time they login to their social networks site, their account would spread the same malicious messages they received to all their friends. Be careful about downloading anything from your computer. Just a warning.

10 Helpful Sites for College

Since I’m heading to college in a little over a month, why not start it off with a post for college! So I was browsing some articles online and I came across this interesting list of sites that would solve some issues you might have. These sites may not provide all the solutions to your problems but it will definitely help.

Here they are:

* Campusi.com – Instead of looking through dozens of different websites for books, this websites finds the cheapest books offered on the internet, and shows the prices from all the other websites as well.
* GetChunkit.com – Instead of clicking from link to link, this add-on is able to mine every link on a web page and pulls out the information for you. Makes researching 10x faster.
* Instacalc.com – Online calculator that can do everything, and allows you to share your calculations with others online.
* Ottobib.com – Enter the book’s name or ISBN, and this website does your bibliography for you in any format.
* Bugmenot.com – Bugmenot lets you find and share disposable logins for popular websites that force you to register. Also use “email.bugmenot.com” for quick disposable email accounts.
* Teleflip.com – Have your emails forwarded to your phone as text messages.
* eFax.com – Nobody has a fax machine in school. So when you want to receive faxes, just use eFax. eFax will give you a phone number that you can give to people, and your faxes will show up in your inbox.
* Qipit.com – Take a photo of your school notes or other documents, and this service will turn them into a readable, taggable document.
* FranceRadio.net – Because you need to stop using Youtube for your music. And because downloading at school is a no-no.
* Zoho.com – If you love free things and can’t stand Microsoft, then this office suite (and much more) is for you.
