Jakarta - Sebuah virus komputer yang memanfaatkan popularitas Facebook membuat korbannya bagai pepatah: sudah jatuh, tertimpa tangga dan digigit anjing pula. Seperti apa virus itu? Simak analisa Vaksincom berikut ini.

Apapun aplikasi yang paling populer akan menarik perhatian orang, baik yang beritikad baik maupun yang beritikad buruk. Ambil contoh virus PC yang mayoritas mengganas di OS Windows karena memang OS tersebut yang paling populer.

Contoh lain adalah virus ponsel dimana notabene saat ini ponsel yang paling menjadi incaran virus adalah ponsel dengan OS Symbian, alasannya jelas, karena ponsel dengan OS Symbian merupakan market leader di dunia ponsel.

Kalau sekarang ditanya, selain kedua OS di atas, apa hal yang paling populer di jagad maya ini? Tentunya anda akan setuju kalau dikatakan Facebook. Rupanya bukan cuma kita saja yang tahu kalau Facebook merupakan aplikasi yang paling populer, pembuat virus juga tahu.

Karena itu virus-virus yang memanfaatkan kepopuleran Facebook mulai bermunculan. Sebut saja Koobface yang walaupun penyebarannya tidak terlalu tinggi sudah menjadi indikasi bahwa Facebook mulai “diperhitungkan” oleh para kriminal internet untuk menjadi sarana mencapai tujuannya.

Di masa depan, Vaksincom memperkirakan aplikasi-aplikasi jahat yang mengeksploitasi Facebook akan makin marak, karena itu bila anda pengguna Facebook, ada baiknya untuk lebih berhati-hati. Saat ini, sedang marak beredar trojan yang disebarkan memanfaatkan rekayasa sosial seakan-akan datang dari administrator Facebook dan jika diaktifkan ia akan mendownload antivirus palsu atau yang lebih dikenal dengan istilah scareware.

Banyaknya penguna Facebook ini menjadikan celah baru bagi para pembuat virus untuk menyebarkan virus dengan memanfaatkan rekayasa sosial, jika kita tidak waspada sudah tentu virus ini akan dapat menyebar dengan sukses di jagat maya khususnya di komunitas Facebook, seperti contoh virus yang sedang menyebar saat ini. Kami menyebutnya virus Facebook atau Norman mendeteksi sebagai W32/Obfuscated.D2!gen.

Kenapa disebut virus Facebook? Karena mempunyai ciri di mana virus ini akan mengincar korban para pengguna internet khususnya bagi mereka yang mempunyai account Facebook, dengan dalih untuk keamanan saat ber-Facebook-ria mereka (pembuat virus) mengirimkan sebuah email yang akan datang seolah-olah dari “Admin Facebook” yang attachment untuk mereset password Facebook yang telah ada sebelumnya, karena datangnya dari admin Facebook maka sudah tentu mereka akan mempercayai email tersebut (daripada account Facebooknya di blokir :p), alhasil bukannya Facebook anda aman tetapi komputer anda akan dijadikan sebagai server zombie untuk menyebarkan spam ke alamat yang ia dapat dan menyebarkan dirinya dengan mengirimkan email yang seolah-olah berasal dari “Admin Facebook” dengan menyertakan sebuah attachment yang mengandung virus. Jadi harap berhati-hati, tetap pantau perkembangan virus dan tetaplah ber-facebook-ria.... asal tidak menggangu pekerjaan.

Apakah cukup sampai di situ?, ternyata tidak .. ibarat pribahasa “sudah jatuh tertimpa tangga ……. di gigit anjing lagi”, ternyata ia juga akan mendownload scareware / antivirus palsu yang menyamarkan dirinya sebagai antispyware dengan nama “Security Tools” yang akan terinstall secara otomatis ke dalam system komputer yang telah terinfeksi.

Antispyware palsu ini akan menampilkan peringatan palsu juga seolah-olah system anda sudah terinfeksi virus dengan menampilkan sederetan nama-nama virus / trojan serem yang berhasil dideteksi (tetapi sebenarnya file/virus tersebut tidak ada), jika user mencoba untuk melakukan aksi pembersihan dengan menggunakan software palsu tersebut maka ia akan menampilkan layar agar user melakukan pembelian software tersebut, jika muncul hal ini sebaiknya Anda abaikan saja karena anda tidak akan mendapatkan software antispyware tersebut.

Security Tools, spyware yang menyamar sebagai program Antispyware

Email yang dikirimkan oleh virus Facebook ini akan mempunyai ciri-ciri berikut:

File yang di sertakan dalam email tersebut mempunyai ukuran sekitar 24 KB (ZIP) atau 30 KB (exe), file dalam bentuk exe akan mempunyai icon MS.Excel dengan type file sebagai “Application”

File induk virus

Dengan update terbaru Norman Security Suite mendeteksi virus tersebut sebagai W32/Obfuscated.D2!genr sedangkan untuk file [reader_s.exe] dikenali sebagai W32/Pandex.YE. Dengan teknologi Sanbox Norman Security Suite juga mengenali varian baru dari virus ini [possible new, unknown virus].

Jika file tersebut dijalankan ia akan membuat beberapa file induk yang akan di jalankan pertama kali pada saat komputer dinyalakan:

• C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\reader_s.exe
• C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\isqsys32.exe
• C:\WINDOWS\system32\reader_s.exe
• C:\Windows\system32\wbem\proquota.exe
• C:\windows\system32\sdra64.exe
• C:\Windows\system32\lowsec
• local.ds
• user.ds
• user.ds.lll
• C:\Documents and Settings\Elvina\Application Data\wiaservg.log

• C:\Windows\temp
• Wp%xxx%.exe (xxx ini berbeda-beda, contohnya wpv271256600826.exe)
• _ex-08.exe
• C:\Documents and Settings\Elvina\Local Settings\Temp\*.tmp
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\47543326\ 47543326.exe

Virus masuki FACEBOOK, WASPADALAH.. ...
VIRUS PALING JAHAT DARI YANG PERNAH ADA

Sebuah virus baru sudah ditemukan, dan digolongkan oleh Microsoft sebagai yang paling merusak!

Virus itu baru ditemukan pada hari Minggu siang yang lalu oleh McAfee, dan belum ditemukan vaksin untuk mengalahkannya.



Virus ini merusak Zero dari Sektor hard disc, yang menyimpan fungsi informasi-informasi terpenting.
Virus ini berjalan sebagai berikut :
Secara otomatis virus ini akan terkirim ke semua nama dalam daftar alamat anda dengan judul "Sebuah Kartu Untuk Anda"(Une Carte Pour Vous , atau A Card For You).
Begitu kartu virtual itu terbuka, virus itu akan membekukan komputer sehingga penggunanya harus memulainya kembali; kalau anda menekan CTRL+ALT+DEL atau perintah untuk restart, virus itu akan merusak Zero dari Sektor Boot hard disk, sehingga hard disk akan rusak secara permanen.
Menurut CNN, virus itu dalam beberapa jam sudah menimbulkan kepanikan di New York . Peringatan ini telah diterima oleh pegawai Microsoft sendiri.

Jangan membuka e-mail dengan judul: "Sebuah Kartu Untuk Anda"(Une Carte Pour Vous , atau A Card For You).

Kirimkan pesan ini kepada semua teman Anda atau yang memiliki grup di Facebook silakan kirim ke semua anggotanya. Saya rasa bahwa sebagian besar orang, lebih suka mendapat peringatan ini 25 kali daripada tidak sama sekali.

***AWAS!!! Jangan terima kontak dari "pti_bout_de_ chou [at] hotmail [dot] com". Ini virus yang akan memformat komputer anda. Kirimkan pesan ini ke semua orang yang ada di dalam daftar alamat anda, boleh yang ada di Facebook ataupun yang ada dimanapun Anda menyimpannya. Kalau anda tidak melakukannya dan salah seorang teman anda memasukkannya dalam daftar alamatnya, komputer anda juga akan terkena.

So... Why not try this way, its harm ur self anyway...

Pastinya sudah sering dengar kan yang namanya Zynga Hold'em Poker??
Itu lohh aplikasi pihak ketiga yang ada di situs pertemanan terbesar saat ini, Facebook!

Saya rasa semuanya sudah tahu tentang memboomingnya game online dari Zynga ini.

Bukan hanya game biasa saja, tetapi banyak juga yang memanfaatkan game ini sebagai pengeruk keuntungan pribadi.
Apalagi jika Anda pandai memainkannya, ditambah hoki yg besar, tentu saja Anda akan mendapatkan banyak keuntungan disini.



Bagaimana caranya??

Beberapa teman saya memang penjudi kelas teri, tetapi dia bisa menghasilkan sampai jutaan hanya dengan memainkan game ini.

Yaa... jutaan!! karena mungkin dia memang beruntung atau mungkin karena keuletan dia membaca kartu lawan? Dia memang sering sekali menang disetiap game yang dia ikuti.
Otomatis chips dia akan semakin bertambah bukan??

Nahh, dari chips itulah yang menghasilkan jutaan baginya. Karena setiap 1M (kalau di Indonesia 1M = 1 Juta) bisa dijual dengan harga Rp. 10.000 - Rp. 15.000. Lumayan kan?
Tentu saja nilai yang besar, kalau untuk saya. Sebab jika kita bisa mengumpulkan sampai 100M, berapa yang akan kita dapat?

1M = Rp. 15.000
100M = 15.000 x 100 = Rp. 1.500.000,-

Bukan main kan?? Apakah Anda tertarik memainkannya??
Kalau Saya sihh sangat tertarik. Tetapi keberuntungan selalu tidak berpihak kepada saya. Hehehe...

Nahh, menurut saya, dengan adanya kemungkinan kita meraup rupiah yang bisa sampai jutaan ini, akan banyak pula yang menginginkan chips-nya bertambah banyak dengan cara cepat.

Di artikel ini, saya mau sedikit berbagi kepada kawan2 semua tentang Cheat Zynga Hold'em Poker.

I recently installed the RTM of Windows 7 x64 onto my laptop… Impressed with how it picked up all my hardware and “just worked” I assumed all other drivers and hardware wasn’t going to be a problem… I decided to use it as my daily work laptop…

First day of use, I decided to use the web using my Vodafone Mobile Connect K3760 3g stick (Also goes by the name of Option K3760) on a customer site… The Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software installed without a hitch… When I tried to connect, it didn’t detect the modem at all and showed “No device” the K3760 was not recognized by Windows 7 x64…

I re-booted the laptop and messed around un-plugging the device, re-installing the software in all sorts of combinations but to no avail… I started hunting around Device Manager and noticed the following which seemed really odd…

The Vodafone K3760 USB modem was shown under DVD/CD-ROM drives in Device Manager as a ZCOption HSUPA Modem USB Device, when it clearly isn’t a CD-ROM drive! As the K3760 has a Micro-SD card slot it looked like it was being detected as just a storage device and the modem hardware was not getting a look in…

In Device Manager under USB Devices there was a USB Mass Storage device listed, when I didn’t have any USB sticks attached or external drives… Hmmm…

The FIX:

With the Vodafone K3760 attached to your system, open Device Manager and browse to the Universal Serial Bus Controllers section and locate the USB Mass Storage Device highlighted below, right click it and disable the device, as shown below… (NOTE: Make sure you don’t have any other Mass Storage Devices connected at the time, or you could disable the wrong one!)

Right click the now disabled USB Mass Storage Device and select Update Driver Software when prompted choose Browse my computer for driver software and then select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

It will then show two compatible drivers as shown below:

Highlight GlobeTrotter G141x and click Next. It will run through the driver installation and then once complete click Continue.

Your driver should now be installed and you should now be able to see and manage the USB Modem in the Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software…

To confirm everything is OK, check in Device Manager that it is now listed correctly, it should appear in Network Adaptors as “GlobeTrotter G141x – Network Interface”.

Open the Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software and click on the Manage Devices tab on the left hand side… You should now see you Modem as an application interface and set as default.

You should now be able to connect up to the net with your USB modem!…

4. What are the common mistakes of a website?

Lets face it! If visitors get lost or become confused while attempting to surf your website, they might hit the back button, and look for a more user- friendly website. People do not like to think, when it comes to finding their way around websites. Don’t make them tick. You need to plan your website from stage to stage, and make a difference between between a very poor website and a very good website.

Let us now see – what are the pitfalls inherent in designing and setting up a website? You may know some of them already, but by avoiding and correcting them, you can be sure to keep constant flow of visitors entering and re-entering into your portal! The list of most common errors is unending but invaluable for new designers, web developers and content writers – who need a list for their website spot check.

1.Site best viewed:

New designers usually use this “site best viewed” with a disclaimer statement regarding which web browser or screen resolution they designed their site, for best viewing. It does not impress the visitor. Instead, invest in skilfully designed website that renders well in multiple browsers, and in any screen resolution.

2.Shabby lay-out and glaring design:

Some sites are totally unbalanced in their lay-out and overloaded design. The designs do not match the page content and appears misplaced and misfit in the entire scene. Give your pages a pleasing appearance, with just the necessary facts and place your design out-lay with a professional touch. Always take screen shots of designs in different resolutions, before uploading the appropriate one.

3.Horizontal scrolling:

The horizontal scroll makes it extremely difficult to read the content on your site, and often your visitors will lose patience and leave. Check your website in a site resolution viewer. A professional website can be viewed without horizontal scrolling in, both, a smaller and larger screen resolution. User's find scrolling from the top to the bottom of your pages, more clear to view and easy to read.

4.Free Web Hosting:

This is a common web page mistake you definitely need to avoid. Often business owners claim that the business is "just starting”, and that is why they have not yet moved their site to a domain host. Do not use free web hosting if you want your business to be taken seriously. It reflects on your image and credibility.

To resolve this issue, you must choose and purchase a domain name if you, already, do not have one. You also need to choose a professional domain host. There is no getting around this one. If you want to run a successful online business, you absolutely must have a reliable domain host.

5.Appalling Images

Don’t allow your visitor view badly shaped or terribly cropped images and missing graphics files. Optimize your images, using the best height and width. Keep your files in the best formats - j peg for Photographs and gif for artwork.

6.Blaring and ghastly color schemes:

Avoid using ghastly and loud colors that does not match your website concept and mission. Although your text may be easy to read, overly-bright colors distracts and repels the reader away from your site's purpose. Your designs must reflect class and designer quality, with state-of-the-art designs and pleasantly eye-catching color schemes for your web pages.

7.Slow loading:

If your page does not download rapidly, visitors will quickly move on to find another site. Take action now to reduce the "weight" of your pages . Each image on your site must be correctly sized and optimized for web use. Keep your pages lean and fast for the visitor to move on quickly, with interest.

8.Spell check:

Always spell check the text , keeping it free of grammatical error, punctuations and spelling mistakes. Without spell check, the site looks amateurish and shabby.

9.Ineffective Text Content:

A major mistake is to fill the pages with long text, without any headings and sub-headings. Do not cram your web pages with loaded decorative words and hi-funda text. Readers do not have time to fill their heads with all details.

Make your text more effective. Keep your text simple, crisp and to-the-point. Use decorative words in the right context. Your language should spell clarity, consistency and coherence in content, style, structure and font. The pages should be easy to read and simple to understand, with a smooth flow. The fonts should be rightly used, with appropriate side-headings and the text need to be phrased in short paragraphs, giving a pleasing feel to the reader.

Your website must provide a clear message with a goal-oriented direction, setting you apart from your competitors. Your content should easily answer his question - “what's in it for me?” The reader must be able to identify with your write-up and find you as his 'partner' for addressing his solutions.

10. Absence of an Email Subscription Form:

This critical aspect is often neglected by most website owners. It is very important to have a lead generation for your website via Email subscription form, for optimal business returns. Having a mailing list gives you several advantages like maintaining a visitors list who allow you to contact them, build a relationship, and establish yourself as an expert for solving their problems.

11.Using a weak message 'join my newsletter':

Your content , design layout and solutions should be so user-friendly such that it compels the reader to subscribe your mailing list. Do not use a weak message like – “join my free newsletter”. The reader would wonder “Why?” and “If I subscribe, will you give me a bonus, or a free gift instantly, as soon as I join?” If your design and text work impresses the reader for availing your services, you would automatically get email subscriptions for a membership, from your visitors. It speaks on your credibility.

12.No Contact Information - Just giving your email id and the web address is not sufficient for your readers – who may be prospective clients. Keep your detailed contact information easy to find and easy to read. Inclusion of a site-map works wonders for your business.

13.Advertising – Advertisements provide huge revenue but it should be placed skilfully and with reference to the current times. Appropriate advertisements should be placed - reflecting the different verticals of your business. Do not overload your page with ads, especially the big flashy banners. Well placed, well designed ads are okay, if you don’t overload the page.

14. Prices –. Don’t waste your time, hoping you will get email inquiries on your prices. The moment a visitor sees your product or services, his prime question will be “what is the price of this item?” Do not keep the visitor guessing the price; it will give him an opportunity to jump into another website where the price is mentioned and you may end up losing a prospective customer. You need to include a price with the item description, if you sell something.

15.Under Construction - Avoid having a “closed – under construction” or “yet to open” website. Give your visitors atleast a single page of content, with a notice - when the whole site will be open.

16.Music: Include a soft and soothing music or that which is relevant to the content. Do not include music, if it is not needed. Music should not be out-of-control and keep the control buttons easy-to-use. Music can turn one's mind on but at the same time put your mood off, if it is not rightly timed, controlled and soft.

The list of common mistakes are innumerable. The above general tips gives you an idea of what to avoid and how to resolve. By keeping your website design in good shape and ensuring your web content writing is in good taste, you will find more people visiting and enjoying your website!

Burned by your Internet history? What do you mean? Perhaps you are not aware but your personal computer is one big, powerful recorder of all your computer activity. Whether you are searching the Internet, browsing the Internet, having chat sessions, sending or receiving files or doing whatever your computer is capturing every keystroke and recording your tracks about where you have been, what you have viewed and what you have done.

Oh, you say that is no big deal. I’ll just delete my Internet history and temporary files with the tools offered by my favorite browser. Well, think again. Are you aware that there are numerous visible and hidden files where all this information is written and stored? Unfortunately, the tools offered by your favorite browser do not erase or eliminate all these files and it’s not all your Internet browser’s fault.

Did you know standard Windows file deletion options utilized by your browser do not physically delete the files? What are deleted are the index records detailing the file’s location and physical properties. The physical or actual file is still there and ready to be recovered by data recovery software that can be successfully used by both novice and experienced users. Until the original deleted physical file has been overwritten by another physical file, the original physical file is recoverable.

So what does all this mean to me? Absolutely nothing if you have not been visiting websites or doing activities that could create a compromising situation if discovered by your employer, spouse or significant other. Now, if you have been to websites, sent questionable emails or had off-color chat sessions that you shouldn’t have then you are in position to be placed in an embarrassing and compromising situation if discovered by the wrong individual. Perhaps, you are in this last situation and don’t want to get burned by your Internet history and tracks?

If so, then protect your privacy by using a privacy control software solution that insures the elimination of Internet and computer activity history on your personal computer. Don’t rely on the deletion tools provided by your Internet browser or Windows! Their shortcomings may be your downfall as you get burned by your Internet history creating personal anguish or employment troubles.

Don’t get burned by your Internet history. Get your privacy control software tool today and insure your privacy and confidentiality!

Search engine optimization is the process done to generate traffic through search engines. It became a need for websites because 80%-90% of visitors come from major search engines. Higher rankings mean greater number of visitors. The same concept applies to blogs. However, many blog owners are not aware of their chances of being more visible on the web. They just update it once in a while and that's it. Considering the great number of blogs on the net today, from personal to corporate blogs, all their efforts will just go to waste if they do not optimize it.

Yes, blogs can be optimized, too. It should be done for the benefit both of your readers and search engine spiders. Although the process is quite similar with the standard website search engine optimization, it is a bit different. Here are some tips that you can do to start:

Consider the Design

It is not advisable to use the default template being offered by blog publishing sites. You wouldn't want to bump into a girl in a party wearing the same dress, do you? Same thing goes to blogs. You can hire a designer to do the work for you. If running a tight budget, you can always look for free templates offered by web design companies and you can customize it a little to make it unique.

Optimize the Tags

Use the most substantial phrase for your blog in the hard code of the title tag. Also, you have to double check that each entry's title appears on the tile tag. This is sometimes overlooked.

Keywords

You should always use your keywords in the blog post titles and categories. You can also use many categories in one entry if appropriate.

RSS Feed

It is best that you have RSS subscription button available on your blog. This would be more convenient to your readers because it will publish your recently updated work. If your blog publisher don't have RSS automatically available, there are RSS feed button creation tool on the net. But make sure that you place it where the readers can easily see them. You can put it in your sidebar. It is already on the blog owner's prerogative if he/she wants to full or partial RSS.

Use Email

Because there are some people who are not familiar with RSS feeds, go the extra mile and offer them something else with the same benefits. I'm talking about You can have your blog post via email. Free tools are also available online to do this.

Compelling Introduction

Introduction about the blog post is sent out via RSS feed. Make sure that it is compelling to enough to make your readers want to have more of it so that they would click the “more” button and read the entire article. Therefore, it should be interesting.

Check you CSS

It is common that blogs come with overwhelming amount of CSS or Cascading Style Sheets. The solution to this is to place it in an external CSS file to avoid clutter in the main template and for the main entry not to go further down.

Keywords-rich Anchor Texts

In placing links in other sites/blogs and even in putting internal links, make sure that you are using keyword-rich anchor text. Remember that it is always better to use your keywords than “click here” or “more”. It would benefit you when search engine spiders crawl your blog.

Keep Your Posts Bonded

If your blog post is somehow connected to your previous posts, link them to each other. The idea is that if your reader is interested in this particular topic, then he/she probably can also be entertained of a different story with the same subject matter. You can use Related Posts Plugin for this.

Do the same in other blogs. If you see a blog entry or an article on the same issue, make them knowledgeable of your existence by placing a link going to your post.

Purchase a Domain

We all know that blog hosting companies will only be around for such a time. Once they close their business, they will be closing your blog as well. If that happens, where will your loyal followers find you? Or there are change in the domain of your blog host, it will surely affect your rankings.

In case you have limited resources and can only settle to free hosting companies, look for those who offer to display your own domain rather than displaying their own like Wordpress and Blogger.

Proper URL Naming Convention

It is always a bad idea to use dynamic URLs whether on websites or blogs. You should always take advantage of any chance you have to use keywords, without keyword stuffing, including this one. Meaning, instead of using “www.xyzblog.com/?246”, you can consider “www.xyzblog.com/blog-post-keywords-here”. When you cannot do anything about it, use mod rewrite.

Good Navigation

If your blog is just a part of a website, it is not ebough that you a have a link going to your blog's main page. Use the sidebar to syndicate your new posts because the visitors of the website might get interested in your articles if they see the titles.

Fast Page Load

The amount of time involved for a page to load all depends on your host. There are some blogs that takes about half a minute just from the snippet of RSS feed to the full article. You can lose a lot of readers just because of this reason alone.

Moderated Trackbacks and Comments

Spammers are everywhere. They always find a way to abuse your blog by putting non-sense comments with links going to their website. It is annoying and it can also affect your rankings. There are numerous tools available online which you can use to moderate and avoid comment and trackbak spam.

Don't just create a blog to share great information or to prove that you know a lot about the field you are into. Do not settle on the number of followers your blog has. Start to optimize now and see the great changes on the next few months.
