A word of advice about SPAM emails

Well, you should all know about spam emails. But I know of a few people including myself, that have been getting a new wave of spam emails.

These emails state that they are from USPS, DHL, Facebook Support, just to name a few. These emails usually come with a .zip attachment to the email.

Here are what they usually look like:-

#1

Unfortunately we failed to deliver your postal package you have sent on the 16th of January in time because the recipient’s address is erroneous.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.
United Parcel Service of America.

#2

The courier service was not able to deliver your parcel at your address.

The delivery advice is attached to this e-mail. Print this label to get this package at our post office.
Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox!
Thank you, DHL Global Forwarding Services.


Now all of these contain .ZIP files, and most of us I imagine check our emails with an email Client, and to prove that they were infected see this:-

Note:- This was my computer, I had not even opened the emails, they just were In Spam Emails.

So basically, let me spread the word, do not open any of these attachments, because they are just infected and a waste of time. Why compromise your whole system due to these emails.

If you get these sorts of emails, run a virus scan, and ship the files off to the virus chest/quarantine (Depending on your AV program)

Stay Safe :)

Game Review: Run

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/run

Ok who admits to playing this when you should be working on something else?? - Hands? - I admit that I have

Run, by the people at Albino Black Sheep is just an addictive game. I mean its all about this character that must run and jump from one end of the level to another. If you fall into a hole, you basically restart the level. (Even when you see the finish, and you fall into the last hole)

Personally I get stuck on a lot of levels, and just either walk away, say a few words, but never... ever and I stress this enough edit the level... That just makes you low life scum. (Its basically cheating)

If you want to give this game a try, and escape from modern day stress (or even create it more) - Then give it a go, its a fun game to try (but not when you keep failing levels)

Enjoy :)

Movie Review: The Secret Life of Bees

Read the book??

Then this is a must see!

Cast:-

Dakota Fanning ... Lily Owens
Queen Latifah ... August Boatwright
Jennifer Hudson ... Rosaleen Daise

(Poster:- http://www.movieposterdb.com/poster/7fb60604)

Based on the book by Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees tells the story of Lily and how she is treated at a very young age. It also addresses the issue of Racism in the '60's.

Although there is slight differences between the movie and book... (what situation is not like that?) This movie is well worth the watch. It has a nice mix of moments where you will cry, and moments where you will be very happy, and I think this is important in a movie.

Enjoy :)
