Cool new Firefox update!

Firefox will now automatically check for updates to Adobe's Flash plugin (the app that lets you watch youtube and a plethora of other streaming video).

Thanx, Mozilla! Your browser rocks again!

(Mozilla's Firefox developers are already working on getting the same type of functionality to its other plugins. Yea!)

Not from around hee-ah or the Homeland Security folks

Subject: New Usama Bin Ladin Speech Directed to the People of Europe

Subject: Intelligence Bulletin No. 267

Subject: Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate

Interesting subjects, eh?

All three head up some emails that promise to give you inside dope on military & world policing matters.

All three have files attached (audio.exe; bulletin.exe and reports.exe respectively).

All three files contain malicious software (malware) that will steal your personal data right off your PC and steal your face (if you're too close to the screen).

As a general rule-of-thumb, regardless of who sent it (it can be disguised to have come from a friend or colleague), don't click on any files that end with .exe (the file name should be revealed as you move your mouse over (WITHOUT clicking) the linked file) unless you went out of your way to download that file (e.g., to download a BIOS update).
