Buddylist virus

The narrow mindset changed as Vmyths picked up reputation and users of anti-virus programs began asking questions like: "Why doesn't my software detect 'Bud Frogs' or 'BuddyList? Indeed, what do you say when everyone knows it is the way of anti-virus software to miss new viruses until its next update? Hence the need for a-v pages which separate the real from the imagined.

It has and always will be a game of catch-up and no matter how much information one makes available, people have to be shown it again and again.

But spam filters have become an unexpected and pitiless foe -- complicating the battle by their fiendishness. The worst are prone to killing all e-mail that contains any mention of virus hoaxes by name. Subsequently, Vmyths now finds that sending out hoax alerts to people who had requested them regularly results in thousands of bounces when, unknown to the requestor, their ISP spam filter mindlessly declares such a bulletin unlawful.

So, Vmyths was a good ride while it lasted but it comes to an end when Rosenberger ships out for the Persian Gulf theatre of the war on terror tomorrow.

Updates of the service will stop and there'll be no more hands-on debunking. The archives will remain; others elsewhere might pull up some of the slack. Hoaxes will persist but those preyed upon by them will make it through.

He also edits the Crypt Newsletter and has written extensively on viruses, the genesis of techno-legends and the impact of both on society. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company TSMC will hike capital spending by a nearly third in to build out production capacity in the expectation that demand for chips keeps flooding in.

The top line was driven by demand for semiconductors manufactured with TSMC's 5nm process technology. This contributed to 23 per cent of TSMC's total wafer revenue in the quarter, while those made using its 7nm process accounted for a further 27 per cent. These advanced technologies therefore made up half of TSMC's total wafer revenue during the quarter.

It appears that today's victim of the Chocolate Factory axeman is legacy Google Voice for personal accounts. To be fair, and despite Google's apparent delight at killing off services , this one has been on the cards for a while, certainly since the company overhauled the user interface in with its "modern experience. However, some users have stuck with the legacy web version of Voice despite warnings that bits of it would stop working in In July, the company said in a not-at-all-threatening manner:.

IM-Age did not document for us any methods for adding anti-virus products into its software. Also becoming more prominent is spam, coined "spim" in the IM arena. FaceTime and IMlogic have functions built into their products that explicitly deal with spim. IM clients can, of course, be configured to accept messages only from people on a buddy list. But this feature will stop programs that simply try to get on the buddy list of every user it can find.

If someone is already on your buddy list and they send you spim, you can just delete them from your list. IMlogic manages a blacklist of users to block on the three public IM systems.
