Now mobile users of 45 countries including India can access Facebook on mobile phones on Reliance & Videocon networks.

Facebook has tied up with Reliance Communications and Videocon telecom operators to make the site available for mobile users with no data charges.

The new site “o.facebook.com” optimised for speed has launched for free access.

On Wednesday, Sid Murlidhar (Programme Manager for Facebook Mobile) wrote in a blog “Today, we are launching … ‘0.facebook.com’. “It, initially, is available through more than 50 mobile operators in 45 countries and territories with zero data charges”.

Google has introduced encrypted search which gives user the option to use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to prevent packet whiffing.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology is formulated to protect from illegitimate groups from whiffing data traveling between a user’s computer and a server.

The service also uses its own Google logo, so you can be sure that SSL is there.

When users search from the URL https://www.google.com, the SSL creates an encrypted connection between the user’s browser and Google to better shield user’s search terms.

When you search using SSL, you won’t see links to offerings like Image Search and Maps that, for the most part, don’t support SSL at this time, the post continues.

SSL connections require additional time to set up the encryption between your browser and the remote web server, your experience with search over SSL might be slightly slower than your regular Google search experience.

Benefit is that searches can’t be intercepted & are not archived in history and won’t appear in the autofill during a subsequent search.

The desktop market does not offer anything new but leading PC manufacturers innovated and made the All in one PC more popular. They are trying to change the concept of the product and present them as a lifestyle products offering features of both a TV and a computer.

The All-in-one PC is a desktop computer that comes with a CPU and monitor.

They are setting the product as the second TV at home due to large screens of the products in the segment.

Dell India executive director and general manager (consumer) Mahesh Bhalla said, “The desktop PC market, which became very boring, is suddenly getting a lot of fizz with the roll out of all-in-one PCs, The way the segment is growing, all-in-one PCs can indeed lead a revival in desktop PC sales.”

According to Microsoft support Lifecycle policy for Window service packs which states that “when a new service pack is released, Microsoft will provide 24 months of support for the previous service pack for products that belong to the Windows product family“, The company announce that support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 will end of Microsoft’s official tech support on July 13th.

This means users of both operating systems will no longer receive security updates, support assistance, or help from paid support. But still have access to self-help online support for at least another year.

To continue support, Windows 2000 users will need to install the new recent version of Windows while XP SP2 users can upgrade to Windows XP SP3 via Windows Internet explorer Update utility.

A new Worm spreading through Yahoo Messenger & Skype.

Yahoo Messenger and Skype users needs to be very careful before clicking on the link received from relatives or even his friends.

How it can enter in your system :

The Worm can enter your system via various messages that you would be receiving with the Yahoo or Skype IM. Like these messages “Does my new hair style look good? bad? perfect?” or “My printer is about to be thrown through a window if this pic won’t come out right. You see anything wrong with it?” . The message guide you to a web page or a rapidshare download & download file contains the worm W32.Skyhoo.Worm

Once entered in your system, worm automatically sends malicious links to your Skype or Yahoo Messenger contacts & also infect your MS Word and Excel files.

How it is spreading :

Yahoo IM and skype users receives a message from a contact to download photo but it is malware instead of photo that installs a backdoor on Windows systems and spreads to a victim’s IM contacts.

The link represents a file ending with. JPG as making people think it is an image file.

If the user clicks on the link, an executable file will be downloaded. If the user runs the file, the computer will become infected and the malicious message will be distributed to all of the IM contacts.

According to Symantec, “Once run, the worm copies itself to %WinDir%\infocard.exe, then it adds itself to the Windows Firewall List,” modifies registry keys, and stops the Windows Updates service.

According to Bkis the “W32.Skyhoo.Worm,” disappears if the computer does not have Skype or Yahoo Messenger installed.
