Malicious programs...

For someone like me who craves for once in a while hindi movies, I am often attracted to sites offering "free movies online". Temptations has been described in our vedas and the holy bible as evil and often discouraged but as a matter of fact cannot be ignored. Even Adam and Eve couldn't resist the apple then who I am? A poor little damsel of 21st century! And finally I know why.

I have been hearing about the Viruses, adwares and malwares which the attackers are so intrested in finding a new home for. Its like this you walk by the petsmart with no intention of goin inside and you realise its saturday, the day when all the rescued dog/cats are on display. You glance over a cute pup which you think you like and then bang the hard truth hits you right in the head!!! You reaiise for once the pup you are looking at is put there by humane society who so diligently works day and nights, creating intresting posts, crafts an intresting picture and adds lines which makes one feel completely guilty of its presence there and of its mere existence. It affects the mind which can never rest in peace until you got the pup home! And all hell breaks loose. The pup is not house trained so there you go.. you have a new job cut out. Its the same case.. well, somewhat similar. I have nothing against the humane society nor the rescued animals. They are doing a wonderful job and thanks to them there are no animals running loose on the street.
But this whole episode of adwares and malwares making themselves at home is my story. Now I need to go back and figure out a way with antivirus progs and get worried if any of my files, pictures or videos got affected and the extent of the problem.

Anycase, carefully watch and read this article in Yahoo..
