- Spielberg's Falling Skies Not So Original
This Forbes emerging markets page is probably no space for a TV show review, but when aliens land in Boston I take it personal. The aliens' high tech malware shuts down all US communication, so if America had used Russia's Kaspersky Lab security software maybe Massachusetts would have been spared. That being the only connection to the general emerging market bias of the BRIC Breaker page, I digress to review "Falling Skies", the TNT original series financed by Steven Spielberg at Dreamworks. このフォーブス新興市場のページには、おそらくテレビ番組のレビューのためにスペースはありませんが、ときに私は個人的なそれを取るボストンに外国人の土地
- Apple Won't Let Kaspersky Develop Tools For iOS
This sounds like a slightly strange decision by Apple: they'll not let Kaspersky develop anti-viral tools for iOS. Kaspersky himself thinks that this is one of the things that will enable Google's Android to leapfrog Apple. There are going to be some infections or malware at some point and without preparation such could be disastrous.
Eugene Kaspersky is “a little bit disappointed … Apple won’t let us” develop antivirus software for iOS devices, as he feels it is only a matter of time before criminals target the operating system. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40
- DNSChanger Trojan: is your computer infected and what to do if it is
An estimated 45,600 Americans could lose internet access on Monday if the DNSChanger malware is not removedAn estimated 45,600 computers infected with the DNSChanger Trojan could lose internet access on Monday when the FBI removes a temporary fix for computers infected with the malware. An organized criminal group called Rove Digital deployed the virus, which rerouted internet traffic, generating $14m in revenue for the group. In 2011, seven were charged for the internet fraud scheme that infected more than four million computers across the world. At least 500,000 of those computers were in the US and include computers owned by government agencies, businesses and individuals. Six of those charged were arrested, one remains at large.To keep victims from losing internet access, the FBI worked with a non-profit to provide victims with a temporary solution, which expires on Monday.

- Are You Seeing Ads on Wikipedia? You've Got Malware
Wikipedia does not carry advertisements which means that if you're seeing ads on the site then you've almost certainly got a machine infected with malware.

So if you're getting click through ads popping up the problem is in your machine, not at their site.

- Mac and Android Users Beware: The Malware is Coming For You!
As we would expect with new operating systems or with old ones becoming more popular there is a rise in the various types of malware aimed at Macs and systems running Google's Android. It isn't that these systems are more vulnerable than our leaky PCs, they're not, but rather that with the rise in population of them they are becoming a more tempting target for malware writers. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

- Another Android Trojan: This One Downloads Paid Apps For You
As some of us have been predicting we're seeing more malware for the new operating systems out there. This particular one is an Android trojan. One that, when downloaded from an apps store, then goes off and downloads other apps from a store. Your phone bill thus ends up rising as the apps are charged to it. Presumably the writers of the trojan are being cut in on the revenues from the downloaded apps.
On the 4th of July 2012, we uncovered a new malware that can download paid apps and contents from China Mobile’s Mobile Market. It placed orders automatically on behalf of users and could cause unexpected high phone bills. TrustGo Security Labs named it as: Trojan!MMarketPay.A@Android.
It has to be said that there's not a huge amount for most to worry about. The malware is China specific, it can only cause you any problems if you have an account with China Mobile. While China Mobile is indeed a large company the vast majority of us do not have accounts there. null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40
