Beware of the Fake Trojan Detected Email
Minutes ago I received a fishy email from a so called Trojan detection robot. What is odd is I have never implemented let alone subscribed to such a service. Therefore I prompted to do some investigation on this spoof trojan detected email.
The email sounded rather authentic and unknowing email users may easily fall prey to this. Worst part of all is this email requests you to download an executable file. A file like this will automatically install in your computer without prior notice if activated. The email content sounded really convincing but I discovered something amiss.

New Blog Redesign Coming 2008
If I think back really hard, the last time this blog was redesigned was back in 2003-2004. Back then, I was still using the MovableType blog publishing system and only heard about the simplicity Wordpress was offering in competition.
Then not long after, MovableType soon became more commercially focused and that is the opportunity which gave the overwhelming success Wordpress needed. But now I’m not here to give a history lesson, it has just been so long since I redesgined my blog. The teaser is inside this entry.

Farewell, Year 2006 - Hello, Year 2007
Happy New Year to everyone from us over here.
As usual the year had passed us quickly. The hours in the day seemed slow but each minute still made it through the day. Anyway, let’s not look back so much of what might have happened but what could happen in this year, 2007.
And there’s going to be something happening in 2007, on this website as well. An announcement of joint venture, maybe an update or even a change to this blog, new insight of the website industry in Malaysia and many more. So come back soon and hopefully it’ll all be revealed at the end of this month.

Q: Oh no! I clicked on one of the links in the Aunt Edna email! What should I do?
A: First thing: delete the email. Then use a newly-updated virus scanner to check your machine for any infection. Next, download the free version of Ad-Aware, and check your computer for spyware and adware. And finally, if you really want to be safe, you should stop using Internet Explorer (which is very, very unsafe to browse with nowadays) and download Firefox, which is a safer, faster, more modern and totally free browser from the fine folks at Mozilla.Source: 1001Postcards.org
If you’ve recently received a postcard allegedly from the provider 1001postcards.com, make sure you double check the suspiciousness of it being sent by a family member. I recently received one and curiosity led me to the finding of the Aunt Edna virus.
