Not a good day at the office for me! A massive and deadly Facebook scam/virus is attacking the walls and inboxes of me and all my friends :(  Now ofcourse there're two kinds of facebook users, "The laymen" and "The tech geek". 


My advice for the Laymen :P : Guys and girls! This is important! If you reveive any facebook message or link with a questionable subject line , do not dare to click on the links found in the bodies! These questionable titles are like "Hey! You're great!", "Your ass look's not bad in the video", "Someone has a hot crush on you ", and other links like "Hey ! I can see you Shall we hang out? ". These links lead to a serious trojan virus and we strongly recommend not clicking on these links or otherwise the consequenses maybe very harmful or embarrassing.  


Now for my fellow tech geeks out there! ;) This trojan virus is actually a trojan worm which sort of hypnotises people, showing them that the mail is from facebookmail.com, where as it actually originates from a dangerous scam network! People of all ages , especially young people including young boys and young girls are enticed to click on the picture or video links , mostly because these links are made attractive either by using nudity, seduction or some money making techniques! Once a user click's on one of these scam links , what happen's is that , strange nude video and other dangerous links are posted on the walls and inboxes of all users in the friend list of whoever clicks on such links. One user clicks on suck a link and the link gets delivered on his or her's behalf to all the friends in the friend list , and the chain goes on and on. This is getting embarrasing and dangerous! Has your privacy been so insecure ever on facebook as it is now? You can leave an answer in our weekly polls ! 

Now what the virus actually is in software terms. Recently, antivirus giants Symantec declared that this trojan virus works through a worm called W32.Koobface.A that searches for cookies in the user's machine. 


On finding the appropriate facebook cookie, the user's account and profile settings are automatically modified. This results in links to malicious sites being created on the walls and inboxes of our buddies without us even knowing anything! Our only fault is that we clicked on the link! The link mostly looks like a youtube video link. The link is made nude or convincing by other means, and the users are attracted to clicking it. On clicking it, the user is taken to a page where he or she prompted to install a video software to play the video :O. This completely fools teh user! This is a fake installation and installing it does the trick for the scammers! On installing it the files and settings of the user are breached resluting in his or her's facebook account getting destroyed! 


The sad thing is that so many users are clicking such links everyday which is resulting in an increase in this trojan virus which is spreading lightning fast all around the world's facebook! And the even more sad thing is that there has been no official comment or reaction by facebook regarding the situation!.

Pakistani sensation Veena Malik has appeared in a fresh scandal today as she has been featured totally nude in the FHM men's magazine in India. The picture shows Veena posing nude for the cover and it also shows a tatoo on Veena's arm labelled "ISI"! PRETTY SHOCKING!

The 33 year old celebrity has denied claims of posing for any such magazine and has made it clear that the picture shown on the FHM magazine is an edited/morphed picture. The strange thing is that the chief editor of FHM India says he's fully confident of the 
truth behind the situation! Kabeer said that a video of the photoshoot was carried out between veena and FHM. Kabeer also declared that the company recieved an email from the actress which confirms the authenticity of the nude picture.

Veena who is currently in Mumbai, India said very boldly and angrily that she has never done such a thing in her entire life. "I have never posed nude for any magazine. My manager and the rest of the team is investigating the whole thing , and are looking to take legal action against the culprits. The Picure has been morphed! Its not me! Definetely not!". 

What makes this controversy even more intense is the response from Kabeer Sharma, who said : "I also have an email from Veena in which she's saying tha she has seen the pictures and is happy with them, and is looking forward to seeing the cover,".



The massive magazine cover has now become a massive discussing point all over the two countries, and the news is rapidly reaching Pakistani homes and all sorts of places! Links have started showing up on social networking sites to the picture! This is getting huge! Everywhere the news of "Veena Malik posing nude for FHM Magazine" is breaking out.

A very funny thing surrounding the scandal is another Pakistani actress Meera's tweet on Twitter , which says "Completely mad woman.".This is still fresh news which means one cannot say anything yet! Nothing has been proved or confirmed yet! The bottom line is that on the latest cover of FHM India mens magazine 
it is "Veena Malik posing nude".


Hava a Look..! interview of Veena Malik.

Ever since it's release many non professional computer users have been declaring Windows 7 as mere copy of the previous version - Vista. I personally declare these people wrong. I do agree with them in a way that Windows 7 looks very much like Windows Vista, but there are many things and goof features that we are overriding when we say that Windows 7 is almost the same as Vista.


No! It isn't the same as Vista. This time Microsoft seems to have paid more attention to the feedback that was provided earlier, and have not built just an operating system, but a very capable operating system in Windows 7. So for those non professional computer users out there, What's there in Windows 7 that wasn't in Vista? Well! Here are some of the very  cool and massively useful things Windows 7 is capable of doing :


1 ) Windows 7 has the ability to open several windows open at the ame time e.g like 15 notepads, two Microsoft word windows, and 40 windows outlook windows. It also has the ability to minimize all these windows except the most important one! 


2) JUMPLISTS. Now this is something new to windows users. It is a massively useful feature. What it does is that it gives the user an option to view the list of recently opened files in any application. An example of the use of the jumplist feature is that we can access one of our favourite playlists in Real Player without even starting up Real Player. This can be done by right clicking the real player shortcut! If you are having problems accessing jumplists by right clicking then you can also access them through the start menu where they get integrated automatically alongside a particular shortcut ! EASY!

3) Hovering over a minimised window just got more advanced! In Vists while hovering on a minimised window you got just got the preview of that window, but in windows 7 along with preview we also have the close button which gives us the feature of closing the window without maximizing it or right clicking it. To switch between previews we can use the win + T shortcut.


4) Resizing of windows had also moved a step further. This time around instead of taking the mouse pointer to the far end of the screen to maximize a window, we also have the option to drag the window towards the top. Doing so will automatically maximize the dragged window. We can also drag it to the right or left to resize it so tha it fits on half the screen.  


5) The new XP mode feature! Now all the worries of xp compatible programs not running on windows 7 have faded away , as we now have the XP mode. This mode can be downloaded free from Microsoft's website.


  
6) Multiple Displays. Win + P is the shortcut for this all new feature in Windows 7. Shifting displays from one monitor to another now takes seconds using just one shortcut key. Man! It doesn't get any simpler than this!


7) Screw the notification area. Sick and tired of the clock and notification icons on the bottom of your screen? Yes! Now you can remove these. Click the arrow that is there in the notificaions area. And then click customize. From here you can hide any icon or even the entire bar depending on your choice! 


8) Weak Eyesight? If you or someone else has vision problems, then there's the Windows Magnifier is there at your aid. The magnifier has a small size and doesn't take up much area. 


9) Now you can have a preview of your media files without having to open them in a player. The preview player is now more advanced as it has everything form the album art to the basic music functionality. It also has a link which opens up the full media player. Pretty COOL!


10) Streaming media directly to another PC/laptop. Doesn't get any better than this ! Whhich music lovers wan't to listen to music on their stupid laptop speakers? :P Now we can  stream music direcly to another computer if both are connected to a created homegroup(which is created in windows 7). This way we can play music on our laptop and get the sound output form our cool 7.1 surround speakers which have been connected to our PC.! WOOHOO! 


GUYs! There are many other things that Windows 7 can do, and Windows Vista cannot! I will post them most probably in the next article!
