Be aware of "Koobface" virus on Facebook and Myspace

Hey, I have this hilarious video of you dancing. Your face is so red. You should check it out.

If you've received a message like that through Facebook or MySpace, you may have been exposed to the "Koobface" virus. "Koobface" comes through an e-mail sent by one of your social networking site friends inviting you to scope out a video.

Once the URL is clicked, "Koobface" prompts you to update your Flash player before the video can be displayed. Therein lies the virus, cloaked in a "flash_player.exe" file. According to the Kaspersky Lab, an antivirus organization working closely with Facebook, "the worms transform victim machines into zombie computers to form botnets."

The McAfee Security Blog explains that when "Koobface" infects your computer, it prompts a downloaded service named Security Accounts Manager (SamSs) to load on start-up. SamSs then proxies all HTTP traffic, stealing results from popular search engines and hijacking them to lesser-known search sites.

A clear eye for fraud will help you avoid this mess. You can usually spot phony e-mails by their titles. Kaspersky found the following: Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf On The Street; Examiners Caught Downloading Grades From The Internet; You must see it!!! LOL. My friend catched you on hidden cam; Is it really celebrity? Funny Moments. My own "Koobface" attack came in an e-mail entitled, lool, yoour blushingg afce is so funny! Checkk out. Obviously, Paris Hilton never threw dwarves, and in all likelihood, my 26-year-old friend knows how to spell more than two words. These are clear indicators you're being attacked.

Facebook has posted instructions about how to remove the "Koobface" virus: give your computer an antivirus scrub-down and change your Facebook password. Check out http://www.facebook.com/security

One of the biggest Jewelery theft in Paris

Armed robbers have pulled off one of the world's biggest jewelery thefts at a Paris shop, making off with diamonds and valuables worth $102m.

The four robbers, two of whom were disguised as women, stole nearly all the jewellery on display at Harry Winston jewellers on the Avenue Montaigne, just off the Champs-Elysees in the French capital. The robbery was well-planned, a source from the investigating team told AFP, the French news agency. The men knew the names of some of the shop's employees and the location of some hidden storage cases for jewels.

The robbers managed to elude a high-security surveillance system and burst into the boutique at 1630 GMT on Thursday, during the busy holiday shopping season. Brandishing weapons, they threatened some of the dozen employees and customers and herded them into a corner. Investigators said some of the employees had suffered blows.The haul, initially estimated at up to $79m, was revised early on Friday to $102m, making it France's biggest jewelery heist by far.

Is Mariah Carey Pregnant?

Ellen DeGeneres put Mariah Carey on the spot today regarding rumors that the songstress is expecting her first child with hubby Nick Cannon. When Mariah insisted that's not the case, Ellen pretended to let her off the hook, but then handed the Grammy winner a glass of champagne and suggested that they toast to her ... not being pregnant. Um, awkward!

The flustered singer hesitated, noting that bubbly is fattening. "This is peer pressure!" she exclaimed. As Carey pretended to sip her drink, Ellen declared, "You're pregnant."

"No, no, no," said Mariah. "We will let you know when we're going to have a family."

Then why refuse a drinky drink? "It's too early for me. I only drink after 3 p.m.!"

I love Ellen, and Mariah has opened up to her in the past, even saying that both she and Nick do want kids, but c'mon. I don't think anyone should be forced to announce their pregnancy before their ready. Of course, I still can't resist asking the question: do you think Mariah is preggers?

12 Surprising And Productive Brain Exercises

Dorothea Brande was an American writer and editor, well known for her books "Wake Up and Live" and "Becoming a Writer".

Here are Dorothea Brande's twelve mental exercises. Note: she wrote these in 1936, so you need to adapt of few of them.

1. Spend an hour each day without saying anything except in answer to direct questions, in the midst of the usual group, without creating the impression that you're sulking or ill. Be as ordinary as possible. But do not volunteer remarks or try to draw out information.

2. Think for 30 minutes a day about one subject exclusively. Start with five minutes.

3. Write a letter without using the words I, me, mine, my.

4. Talk for 15 minutes a day without using I, me, my, mine.

5. Write a letter in a "successful" or placid tone. No misstatements, no lying. Look for aspects or activities that can be honestly reported that way.

6. Pause on the threshold of any crowded room and size it up.

7. Keep a new acquaintance talking about himself or herself without allowing him to become conscious of it. Turn back any courteous reciprocal questions in a way that your auditor doesn't feel rebuffed.

8. Talk exclusively about yourself and your interests without complaining, boasting, or boring your companions.

9. Cut "I mean" or "As a matter of fact" or any other verbal mannerism out of your conversation.

10. Plan two hours of a day and stick to the plan.

11. Set yourself twelve tasks at random: e.g., go twenty miles from home using ordinary conveyance; go 12 hours without food; go eat a meal in the unlikelist place you can find; say nothing all day except in answer to questions; stay up all night and work.

12. From time to time, give yourself a day when you answer "yes" to any reasonable request.
