A PIECE OF SPAM which pretends to warn of a Microsoft critical update contains a link to a site hosting a nasty Trojan horse.

The missive, with "MS07-0065 - Critical Update" as its subject, pretends to come from "update@microsoft.com." It doesn't.

It comes from dastardly spammer who wants to take over your machine.

Beware. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
