Transliteration : When in Bangla?

Google recently added four more Indian languages in transliteration mode for blogger.com/blogspot.com blogs.  So, as a whole it became 5 of them. Hindi was the only language in blogspot which was default language if transliteration is enabled. This tool will help blogging in Hindi, Kannada, Malaylam, Tamil & Telugu easier for even novice bloggers.

It is a matter of regret that we still didn't succeed adding our language Bangla in the list. Had this been done we could just write "Aami Tomake Bhalobaasi" to automatically show this –

Some of the beloved sons of Bangladesh started blogging in Bangla like www.somewhereinblog.com and www.pechali.com .  But we really need to add the aid to blogspot to let people write bangla in their blogs in this highly popular blogging engine.

Phishing lines more clever, more prevalent

By John Wilkens

PHISHING LINE

Fishing is all about tricking the prey into taking a bite at something it thinks is real. So is phishing.

Many of us have seen the bait float past in recent years. It arrives via e-mail, with an official-looking logo from a bank or credit union or retail company:

"We recently reviewed your account, and suspect it has been accessed by an unauthorized third party. As a result, your account has been frozen. To regain access, please take these steps ...

Our Technical Services Department has installed new security software. To upgrade your account, please do the following ...

There is a pending charge on your account. If you dispute this charge, you must ... "

The e-mail then instructs you to click on a link that will take you to a Web site - again, very official looking - where you're asked to log-in with your password, verify your date of birth and social security number, and so on.

Take the bait and you're well on your way to having your identity stolen, a potentially costly and time-consuming aggravation.

Financial institutions, government agencies, computer experts and the media have been warning people about phishing for several years. There's even a global consortium, the Anti-Phishing Working Group, to combat the problem.

But it persists. A record 20,109 unique phishing "attacks" - each involving e-mail sent to thousands of potential victims - were reported in May to the Anti-Phishing Working Group. That was up from 17,490 attacks in April.

About 80 percent of the May attacks involved attempts to mimic e-mail from 20 major "brand" companies, such as Bank of America, Washington Mutual, Chase Manhattan, PayPal and eBay. (In all, a record 137 brands were "hijacked" in May.)

Paul Stephens, a policy analyst with the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a consumer-protection agency, said phishers use well-known companies because more people are likely to have relationships with those firms, and therefore are more likely to take the bait.

"If enough e-mails go out, chances are they'll hit you with something that seems like it belongs to you," he said. "They just keep getting more and more clever."

Peter Cassidy, secretary general at the Anti-Phishing Working Group, which is based in Cambridge, Mass., said "what keeps us up at night" is the increasing use of "crimeware" by identity thieves.

"Crimeware" is a tracking program that gets secretly installed on a computer when the victim clicks on a link in a phishing e-mail and is directed to a fraudulent Web site. The tracking program enables thieves to learn passwords and account numbers when the victim later visits legitimate sites.

Cassidy said the best way to prevent being phished is "to use all that stuff people have been yelling at you about for years: anti-virus programs, spyware blockers, firewalls. They really matter now. And make sure they're updated."

Other tips:

- Be wary of e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. Call the company on the telephone to verify that the e-mail is legitimate.

- Be careful using links in e-mail to get to Web pages, especially those involving financial accounts. Use your Web browser to make sure the site is genuine.

- Always make sure you're using a secure Web site when transmitting credit card numbers or account information - look for "https://" in the address bar, not just "http," and look for the padlock icon in the lower right corner.

- Regularly check your bank and credit-card statements to make sure transactions are legitimate.

How to remove Win32/NSAnti, d.com virus (Autorun virus, AVMO virus, Hidden Files problem)

Recently a virus called d.com is spreading with the pendrives a lot. Here I'll discuss how to remove the infection without any use of antiviruses.

If your system is infected by this virus you can't see hidden files and folders , even after applying the settings in "Folder Options" show hidden folders. This setting is reverted back to Don't show hidden files and folders by the virus.

This happens because virus protects the two hidden ,system files called d.com and autorun,inf which are created by amvo.exe and amvo0.dll , amvo1.dll which resides in system32 folder on the OS drive (hard disk partition on which windows operating system is installed).

Solution: In order to get rid of the virus you will need to delete all files the virus creates and resides into. Here's how you will do it.

1. Open Start>>Run and type cmd and press enter. This will open windows command prompt window. On this window, type as directed in steps further and press enter at the end of each step.
2. type cd\
3. type cd windows\system32
4. type attrib -r -h -s amvo.exe
5. type del amvo.exe
6. type attrib -r -h -s avmo0.dll ,repeat the steps 5 and 6 again to delete avmo1.dll
7. now type d: and press enter for d: drive partition.
8. type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf
9. type del autorun.inf
10. type attrib -r -h -s d.com
11. type del d.com

Similarly repeat from steps 8 to 11 for all your hard disk partitions to remove the files created by the virus.

The above is manual method but for who dont have command prompt level understanding they can use the method below:

3. Check the above entry and click on the button which says Fix Checked and click yes on the prompt.
4. Uncheck amvo.exe from msconfig>> startup (type msconfig in run and click on the startup tab) also and restart your system
5. Open my computer and go to folder options >> check the option show hidden files and folders. Also un-check the option Hide protected operating system files (This will give a warning message, confirm by pressing yes button). After this click Ok.
