  • New IM Worm On The Loose -A new worm that spreads via Microsoft's instant messaging client began badgering users Monday, several security firms said. Dubbed Funner, the worm propagates by sending itself to all the contacts listed in the user's copy of MSN Messenger, Microsoft's IM client. According to Symantec's alert, Funner may also try to contact a domain -- www.78p.com -- to download additional components. Other than reproducing, Funner's main purpose seems to be to modify Windows' Hosts file on the compromised machine so that attempts to contact any of some 937 sites -- many of them Asian porn sites -- will be redirected to the IP address that matches 78p.com. That Web site, however, was offline as of mid-morning Monday.
  • FTC Sues Alleged Spyware Distributors - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission last week filed a legal complaint against two companies that allegedly infected computers with spyware and pop-up advertising, then tried to sell their owners spyware-blocking software.

  • BitTorrent menaces Hollywood's DVD profits - A radical new technology threatens to do to Hollywood what Napster did to the music industry. It's called BitTorrent and is much faster than other file-swapping software used to exchange movies and music over the Internet.

  • AMD's 90nm Athlon 64 Have Equal Performances to 130nm Chips - An AMD representative denied any substantial architectural tweaks of AMD Athlon 64 processors manufactured 90nm fabrication technology on Monday, rejecting the rumors about higher performance of AMD64 parts produced using more advanced process technology compared to 130nm parts. According to AMD's web-site, the company's lineup of 64-bit desktop processors include chips that are made using 90nm Silicon-on-Insulator process technology. Currently the company lists there microprocessors rated at 3800+, 3700+ 3500+, 3400+, 3200+ and 3000+ for Socket 754 and Socket 939 infrastructure. Such chips function from 1.80GHz to 2.40GHz clock-speeds.
  • Athlon 64 3200+ 90nm review - I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this CPU to anyone considering an upgrade at this time. I feel that the stars have aligned, so to speak, to make this my recommended CPU for most persons upgrading their computers. Finally, we have motherboards that can scale to high HTT speeds giving the newer more overclockable Athlon64 Socket 939 chips long legs on which to run. New performance memory from companies such as OCZ, Corsair, Kingston, Mushkin, and G.SKILL (a relatively newcomer to the performance scene) are providing ram modules that allow us to not only maintain livable latency but scale to impressive MHz levels.
  • SimpleTech PC3700 Nitro Series Memory review - CoolTechZone has posted a review of SimpleTech PC3700 Nitro Series Memory.
  • Socket 939 Motherboards - MSI and nVidia vs. ABIT and VIA - With regard to price, both of our competitors today fall into the same category. The MSI board as tested can be found online for around US$139 while the ABIT board can be had for around US$129 as shown on DealTime. Considering the pricing of most modern motherboards (regardless of chipset and processor support), these boards will fare well against other possibilities on the market.
