As I write this I am filled with excitement. About a year ago, I tried to download Linux onto Windows with no avail but I finally was able to fulfil that dream with the help of a Sun (Java) product called VirtualBox.
VirtualBox lets you manage multiply Operating systems with one computer. I ran over VirtualBox by accident and so learnt that I use it to download operating systems like Ubuntu (Linux for average users!)
Ubuntu is a free source Linux distribution operating system. It is FREE and effective! It is also a useful tool for people who are switching over to Linux!
To download Ubuntu visit: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and make sure to choose desktop version with a server in your country or close to it! Its a long download, 2-3.5 hours on a decent internet connection.
To download VirtualBox visit: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and make sure to choose your APPROPRIATE default operating system! That is your current operating system! Its a quick 5-15 minutes download on a decent internet connection.
I hope you enjoy using this!

Cyber Busting!
New Post!
A Pakistan based forum that offered black hat hackers a place to exchange information and wreak havoc on our world has been attacked and is now off line thanks to a group of white hat hackers called "War Against Cyber Crime." The forum let black hats skim and plan co-ordinated attacks on various sites around the world. The group that brought the site down has expressed hope that law enforcement agents will investigate the leaked information that was offered by the black hat hackers and make arrests. Meanwhile pakbugs.com remains off-line and I believe it would not show its face ever again!
Heres the site and title:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/18/carder_forum_hack_attach/ -

Hoax
New Post!
We are warned off fake adverts like Evony and what they can do to our computers! But, what we don't expect is a REAL life encounter! These women were unfortunate to have witnessed such an event! This is another reason to THINK before you CLICK!
"
Nine young women have been duped into appearing in internet pornography after starring in a fake Big Brother-style show.
The 16 to 24-year-olds were locked in a house and filmed round-the-clock for two months.
But instead of fame and fortune from becoming reality show stars, naked pictures of the women were sold on the internet.
The scam in Turkey was uncovered when one anxious set of parents contacted police.
The victims had all responded to an advertisement on the internet asking for contestants for a new Turkish show called Somebody's Watching You.
They signed contracts agreeing to stay at the house for the two-month period and to pay a forfeit of £20,000 if they walked out.
Initially, the women were delighted after moving into the luxury villa, complete with swimming pool.
The victims were released on Sunday and one Turkish man was arrested, as the investigation continued. "

ALERT! ALERT! SECURITY BREACH!
BREAKING NEWS!
New evidence is showing Evony, an online popular gaming site as a fraud and a fake!
SITES:
This isn't new, it has been widely rumored that Evony was a scam but now has been proven.
Detail and user recalls give expericences best related to Trojans and Adware:
“Something happened this morning. Just when i logged in my account to play Evony, my Anti-Virus detected 4 trojans horse in explorer.exe. They came right when i entered my server. I am no expert about virus so I don” - An Evony user
“Hello, i would like to inform ye that your site is infested with Adaware. http://www.pctools.com/mrc/infection…e.Mostofate.E/ Every time i log onto evony this comes as part of it. I have tried it several times, deleting it THEN just opening up evony and presto its back on my Computer. Its the “monitors the users browsing activity.” that im not paticulary fond of !” - Another Evony user
First on the list of issues is that is had been alleged that the developers of Evony have been linked to a Chinese gold-farming company called WoWMine. The company that developed the game is Universal Multiplayer Game Entertainment (UMGE). A quick search of the web for information about this company showed up nothing. The websites for UMGE are currently unavailable as of the writing of this article.
Second on the list is that the viral ad campaign itself contained a trojan called SHeur.AYRM. It would appear that a computer could be infected with this trojan by clicking through on some of the Evony ads hosted on the game. The infected code has been removed from the game as noted by an administrator on June 8, 2009 on the GameAxis forums and Evony has submitted for a review from Google to be cleared.
