  • Your Mobile Phone Is Safe- Kaspersky Labs brings attention to the spread of a rumor among Internet users regarding a new computer virus that infects mobile telephones and renders them junk.

  • Network Worm "Roron" - Red Alert!  - "Roron" spreads using several data transfer channels: via email as an attached file, via local area networks and the KaZaA file-sharing network. Systems become infected only if a user manually launches (opens) the file containing the worm that was received via one of the aforementioned sources. When penetrating a computer, "Roron" creates a copy of itself in the Windows system directory and Program Files and then registers one of these files in the system registry's auto-run key. In this way the worm ensures its activation the each time the system is booted.
  • Notre Dame Math Whiz Cracks Certicom Code Contest - Consider the work that went into cracking a secret code developed by Toronto-based Certicom Corp. CIC.TO , which makes wireless encryption software.  It took the power of 10,000 computers running around the clock for 549 days, coupled with the brain power of a mathematician at Indiana's University of Notre Dame, to complete one of the world's largest single math computations. Certicom had challenged scientists, mathematicians, cryptographers and hackers to try to break one of the encryption codes the firm uses to protect digital data. The solution, rewarded with a $10,000 prize and even richer bragging rights, was reached at 12:56 p.m. on Oct. 15, said Notre Dame researcher and teacher Chris Monico.

The latest official Intel App Accelerator is at version 2.2.2(http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/). The beta is currently in 2.3. So I probably won't risk getting this version from Asus(?)... But anyway, check intel's webpage on IAA, I didn't know IAA does so many wonderful things...

you quoted the wrong part in relation to the virus hoax. what you quoted makes it sounds as though it actually exists. should have used 'Kaspersky Labs reports that this virus does not exist, thereby classifying "Ace-?" with other such virus rumors as a hoax. We recommend users refrain from further spreading this unfounded virus rumor and to in turn inform colleagues and friends that this is actually a "non-existent" or "hoax" virus.'

The old comment system has been replaced. Use the regular FORUMS!
