Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users' names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Viacom wants the data to prove that infringing material is more popular than user-created videos, which could be used to increase Google's liability if it is found guilty of contributory infringement. |

This current trojan attack is being called the largest fake media file outbreak in three years. Over 500,000 people have been fooled into opening this phony music or video track which is actually a spyware-infested Trojan horse.
This trojan portrays itself to be a music track with an MP3 file extension but what it actually is, is a file that acts like an installer that requires a special codec and a special media player to play back the file.
Once you Install the codec, what you end up getting is a screen full of pop-ups delivered through a variety of malware programs. This attack is mainly being distributed through peer-to-peer networks.
We've heard of attacks like this in the past but the reason this is getting so much press is because there have been 500,000 attacks in just one weeks time. This is huge.
According to McAfee, only about 10 percent of those who downloaded the infected file actually installed it.
The infected file uses a multitude of file names. So for now the best thing that you can do is to make sure that you are up to date on your antivirus software and make sure that you have configured it to do real-time scanning.

The Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program first rolled out in October of 2006, as an effort from Oracle to provide support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) customers. Oracle also offers its own Oracle Enterprise Linux which is essentially RHEL, without the Red Hat trademarks included (logo, name etc.).
The new Veritas certifications for Oracle's Linux include: Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0; Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle 5.0; Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System 5.0; Veritas Cluster Server 5.0, Veritas NetBackup 6.0 Client and Veritas i3
"This is an important milestone for Symantec data center customer as they now have access to support through this program and they can move to Oracle Linux support," Kumar said. "We expect to see an uptake of Symantec customers as a result of this certification and we are hoping that this certification will allow users to realize the potential of Linux while lowering cost by moving to Oracle Linux."
