  • How To: Move your Facebook Photos to Picasa

    How To: Move your Facebook Photos to Picasa

    With Google+’s popularity on the rise, a lot of users are looking for an easy way to shift their albums from Facebook to Picasa. The aptly named move2picasa.com website allows you to log in with your Facebook id and copy all your photos to Picasa. Please note that the photos would be moved without captions etc.

    If you have a lot of photos, it could take you a few hours to transfer them. Apparently, the more photos that you and others try to transfer, the slower the service will be. Despite the wait, this seems to be an adequate solution for most people. One other thing, you either move all your photos or you move none. There is no feature to select or filter which images are copied.

    Once your photos are in Picasa, sharing them with your circles is very easy. The web app was built by AmiWorks’ Aman Kumar Jain and Amogh. According to the website, some 300,000 photos have already been moved.

  • Apple Releases Update to Detect and Delete MacDefender ‘Scareware’: UPDATE

    Apple Releases Update to Detect and Delete MacDefender ‘Scareware’: UPDATE

     

     

    Yesterday, Apple released an update for Snow Leopard  to detect and warn useres if they have installed a fake Mac security software called MacDefender. The term ‘Scareware’ basically means that the software will plague users with popups and alerts warning them that their computer is infested with trojans, worms and other malware. To get rid of these popups users have to fork over $60 to $80 to purchase the registered version of the useless software.

    The update, labelled 2011-003, adds a new definition to the rudimentary virus detection engine embedded in Snow Leopard, and also increases the requency with which it checks for definition updates to daily. This brings the total tally of antivirus definitions on the Mac AV engine to 6.

    This update was only offered to users running OS X 10.6 aka Snow Leopard. Macs powered by the older 10.5 Leopard OS will not recieve the same anti-MacDefender protection. Users can download the update from the apple website or update their system using the regular ‘Software Update’.

     

    UPDATE:

    The people responsible for the fake Mac security software has already updated their “scareware” to evade defenses Apple put in place late Tuesday, a French security company Intego confirmed today. “Apple’s [antivirus] did not detect the new sample,” said Peter James, a spokesman for Intego. According to James, the new malware file is identified as “mdinstall.pkg” and if installed, plants the phony MacDefender software on the victim’s Mac.

    Intego confirmed  that the scammers had created a new version that wasn’t detected by Apple’s new defenses. “This isn’t surprising, that there’s a new variant out almost as soon as Apple released its security update Tuesday,” said James. “[The attackers] are following the news, they’re efficient.”

    How To: Remove Spam from your Website Best Captcha Alternative

     

     

    How many people have had to enter the funny squiggly text while registering on a new website? We have, and we’re sick of it. So when we went looking for alternatives, we found a brilliant piece of software. Its the same old captcha theory, with a new twist. It’s called PeopleSign. Instead of using text as a input field, it uses pictures. What you basically have to do is that you match a picture from a list of pictures. Spambots are currently programmed to decifer text captchas but they have no image processing capabilities. We have faced a huge reduction in spammers by using this captcha technology. Try it for yourself and leave your comments below.
