Downadup - a virus

Hi all,

A virus which has affected 9m computers around the globe. 

Drives such as USB sticks infected with the virus trick users into installing the worm, according to researchers.

The "Autoplay" function in Vista and early versions of Windows 7 automatically searches for programs on removable drives.

However, the virus hijacks this process, masquerading as a folder to be opened. When clicked, the worm installs itself.

It then attempts to contact one of a number of web servers, from which it could download another program that could take control of the infected computer.

[itsdifferent] ✈ ▌▌- Google Trend

Yesterday, Google Trend became victim of a 9/11 symbol. 

Although if you search Google on ✈ ▌▌ no results are retrieved, this is just an ugly stunt .
Someone tried to search on "sketch of an airplane flying into two towers"

And they published this to everyone, and the trend got hotter, however this is not the first time someone tried this kind of prank, last July a Swastika appeared on Hot trends as well.

Google Trends, is a service that shows the relative popularity of search terms.

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Fugitives

All,

 

US government is starting a different kind of most-wanted list — for environmental fugitives accused of assaulting nature.

 

These fugitives allegedly smuggled chemicals that eat away the Earth's protective ozone layer, dumped hazardous waste into oceans and rivers and trafficked in polluting cars.

 

And now the government wants help in tracking them down.

 

See most wanted 23 fugitives at http://www.epa.gov/fugitives/
