NEW FLASH!!

OOPS!

[SORRY ABOUT THAT, I'M SO USED TO WRITING ABOUT A NEW FLASH BUG I GOT CARRIED AWAY. LET ME CORRECT MYSELF]

NEWSFLASH!!

It was reported on PC WORLDS website that Microsoft found Malware pre-installed on new PC's sold in China which could infect thousands of computers around the world. Borrowing a quote from the article:

"The malware, embedded in counterfeit versions of Microsoft's Windows OS, is engineered to spy on users and conduct denial-of-service attacks, Microsoft said. It warned that the findings pose fresh questions over the integrity of computer-part supply chains."

One very good thing about Microsoft is they are serious about tracking down the bad guys. Please read the full article HERE.

Other things of note:

If you happen to live in Vietnam, Russia, or Mongolia, and work in fields like Military, Space, Aviation, Defense, etc. you have a virus running around called "Enfal" (modified).

Mozilla's "Firefox 18" is supposed to be slicker, faster, better, due to some Java scripting. Does anyone else see a problem in the future?

Dallas, Texas. The FBI raided a member of "Anonymous", while he was in the middle of a video chat, threatening the life of an FBI agent and possibly his children.
