You Will Hate Rihanna After Watching This Video! | Rihanna’s First Scandal – Facebook Scam
I’m not a big fan of Rihanna, but whosoever is, will hate this new scam spreading on Facebook. The scam claims to show a leaked video of Rihanna making out with someone. The scam has the title – “WOW – You Will hate RIHANNA after watching this video!” followed by a link and a description that reads – “You Will Lose All Respect For RIHANNA After Watching This.”
Please beware that this is a fake message that is being spread across the social network. When users click on the scam link, they are taken to a fake page, which appears like Facebook and contains a video player. Clicking on the play button will not load the video, but will ask you to share the video link with your friends on Facebook .
However, after “sharing” the post on your Facebook Wall, you will be provided with a set of online surveys, which you are asked to complete before you can watch the video. Please note that even after completing the surveys there is NO video shown. Please DO NOT waste your time in completing online surveys. Scammers generally create such scams to get users to complete online surveys. They get paid as commission when they get users to complete surveys like this.
Sometimes it may result in downloading malware programs or other malicious files, which could possibly harm your computer. These files are programmed in a way to steal your personal and confidential information without your knowledge.

Firefox 8 Officially Released! Download Now [Direct Links]
Finally after a series of betas and a candidate release, the official release of Mozilla’s Firefox 8 is now available for download.
The two main features of this latest release are Twitter Search as well as heightened security with increased add-on control.
Allowing consumers to be fully in control of the browsing experience has long-since been a fundamental part of Mozilla’s mission statement, and Firefox 8 takes it to the next level it would appear. Previously, third party vendors could be added to extend the capabilities of Firefox. Now, though, such add-ons are disabled.
Now of course, the browser can opt to enable add-ons, but as Mozilla programmer Justin Scott blogged, add-ons are not always beneficial to those browsing the Web.
“These add-ons installed by third parties present a number of problems: they can slow down Firefox start-up and page loading time,”
“They clutter the interface with toolbars that often go unused, they lag behind on compatibility and security updates, and most importantly, they take the user out of control of their add-ons.”
Firefox 8 is – as has always been the case – pre-loaded with add-ons, but this time around, users will be able to see from the onset which ones they particularly want / need, rather than unwittingly persevering with a slower browsing experience cluttered with unwanted extensions. When Firefox 8 is installed, a dialog box is fashioned, which lists add-ons, and asks which to enable and which to disable.
With Mozilla’s regular release schedule, it’s hard enough for us to keep up with the versions, and apparently developers behind add-ons also experience such troubles, leaving many bereft of updates through new versions and suffering compatibility issues. Smooth? I think not!
In addition to the add-on controls, Twitter Search integration will make it a lot easier for Tweeters to discover new topics, #hashtags and @usernames, although is initially limited to the English, Portuguese, Slovenian, and Japanese releases of Firefox 8. According to Mozilla’s official blog page, though, more languages will be rolling out during the course of the next few weeks.
Here are the download links for those of you wishing to update to the box-fresh browser.

How to Click Great Photos with Your Phone
Phone camera is the most handy tool one can have to click pictures. As it is not so convenient for everyone to carry their DSLR / Point To Shoot cameras every time or sometimes the DSLR/ Point To Shoot camera is not just easily available at the moment when there is a good clickable view is available. So it is necessary to get the most out of a phone camera and get the best possible shot out of a phone camera. Here are some points which to me makes sense which can be considered while clicking a picture from your phone camera.
Keep the Phone steady
Hold the camera motionless and steady so that it doesn’t shake while you click. Keep both of the elbows steady and at the side to get some support from the body. Take a deep breathe, settle down and gently trigger the shutter release of your phone.

[Security] New Fake Adobe Flash Malware Disables Apple’s Malware Updates
According to security researchers at F-Secure, a new variant of an existing Trojan Horse posing as a legitimate Flash Player installer (named Flashback.C by F-Secure) is designed to disable updates to the default Mac OS X anti- malware protection system, potentially leaving the system open to the manual installation of other malware without any system warnings.
Once installed, Flashback.C first checks to see if the user is running “Little Snitch,” a firewall program that could alert the user of its actions. If it is found to be installed, the trojan deletes itself. If it doesn’t find Little Snitch, the malware then tries to connect to a remote host in order to obtain other installation files and configurations. F-Secure notes that “the remote host is up but it does not [yet] push anything.” If and when the site becomes active, it could deliver a payload that the trojan could use to disable the system’s auto-updater, using Safari or Firefox to deliver the malicious code via an LSEnvironment variable that loads when the browser restarts. The local system would be unable to obtain the latest anti-malware definitions and could subsequently be infected by other malicious programs the user installs without seeing the warnings that Mac OS X’s XProtect feature is designed to present.
If you fear that you might have been infected, you can see removal instructions given by F-Secure here. Also, always download softwares from original company’s websites to remain protected from Trojan horses like this. Read our tips to keep your computer Safe and Secure here.
