Are you Using the Indian version of orkut (www.orkut.co.in) ?

Well I would recomend Don't.. Instead Just change to www.orkut.com .A few people were asking me How ? Its quite Simple ...


Why Should You Change ?

* So that you can Use the GreaseMonkey tricks On firefox.
* .com pages load faster.
* If you are in the .co.in domain and then recieve a link as a scrap with .com domain then visiting that link, creates problem for your Browser, to change the domain from co.in to .com .



How to change ?

* Go to the bottom of your page. See the screenshot.

Orkut Helping people finding solutions to problems

This is just great orkut is not only helping people in socializing with their friends but people are also logging on to share not only their personal problems but also to find solutions for them.

"Orkut has been a great strength of support for me. I had lost all faith in destiny till I logged on to a kidney transplant community where people with similar problems pepped me up by writing down their experiences," says Sarath Kumar from Hyderabad.

Sarath, who is looking out for a kidney donor for himself adds, "They were people who told me what to do, what all precautions I should take and even suggested names of some good doctors that I could get in touch with."

There are many communities on orkut which are not only filling in their members to show off, but they are really and truly helping people which are having the problems and they are collectively finding solutions for it.

Not only do these communities attract a large number of members who indulge in periodical discussions to offer help to the one seeking, many also take part in these discussions as non-members.

"The whole purpose of my community has been to reach out to people who face similar problems. Many of the freshers had joined my community and we discussed everything from anti- ragging rules to how to go about with their admission procedure," says Sashank Nair, who had set up a community for first year under-graduate students.

W32.Scrapkut Orkut Worm spreading to millions of users

Friends how many of you have fallen victim to a worm, which apparently looks like this in your scrapbook, but let me warn you its a deadly worm, recently renamed to W32.Scrapkut, uses active code injection as a vehicle to propagate to the Orkut friends of its unfortunate victim.

Wondering how this thing happens, heres the whole story about it:
> a malicious scrap is posted to the victim’s scrapbook, containing a link to what appears to be a YouTube video
> When a victim clicks on the link, they are redirected to an external site which prompts them to download the file “flashx_player_9.8.0.exe”.
> When executed, flashx_player_9.8.0.exe retrieves the files windosremote.exe, logservicess.exe and win32chekupdate.exe from http://[REMOVED].ifastnet.com. These files download additional files that perform a variety of malicious actions, but logservicess.exe is the main executable for further propagation. Logservicess.exe first copies itself as maindwxp.exe to four different locations on the system to ensure it is executed on startup.
> Maindwxp.exe then checks in with the command and control server via a GET request with specific parameter values. Interestingly, the page returned simply contains the word “Rastreados” followed by a number. In Portuguese, “rastreados” means “crawled” - at last check the number was 13559.
> Maindwxp.exe then executes and begins checking for an active browser window, waiting for the victim to visit Orkut. Once the victim is in an authenticated Orkut session, maindwxp.exe injects Javascript code into the active Orkut web session.
> This Javascript code which is actually based on a popular Greasemonkey script is then executed within the context of the Orkut domain and the user’s authenticated session, resulting in the malicious scrapbook entry being sent to all the victims’ friends, and the cycle begins again.

This way the malicious worm is spreading virally on the orkut, So how you can be saved from this malicious worm now, well in past i have posted about "how to surf orkut without javascript" which would help in prevention from such viruses and always remember not to use any javascript that are posted in your scrap even by your trusted friends...
