The True Stella Awards
Definately NOT the Stella
Awards
... The Stella Awards newsletter is free, and VERY interesting.
The Stella Awards, named in honor of 81 year-old Stella Liebeck, the woman
who sued McDonald's and won $2.9 million for spilling a cup of McDonald's
coffee on herself. This column by Randy Cassingham (author of This is True
- a wonderful and hilarious colletion of strange but true stories), which
reviews and exposes the kind of lawsuits that stem from the American
tendency to believe that we are never at fault for anything that happens to
us. Most of the country has heard of the Darwin Awards given annually to
the individuals who do the most for mankind by removing themselves from the
gene pool. Now, we have the Stella Awards given to the individuals who win
the most frivolous lawsuits ever. Ever since the New Mexico jury awarded
Stella $2.9 million in damages the name "Stella Award" has been applied to
any wild, outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits -- including bogus cases!
Stella Awards is a project of This is True® -- a weekly news commentary
column featuring bizarre-but-true stories from newspapers all over the
world, all with snippy commentary by Colorado humorist (and Society of
Professional Journalists professional member) Randy Cassingham. If you like
the Stella Awards, you'll love the weird-but-true stories sent out once each
week in This is True.

Your HouseCall Virus Check-Up
... Trend Micro's free on-line virus scanner will scan all of your
hard drives, including network drives. It works very well, and has
discovered viruses that Norton Anti Virus has missed. If it detects one on
your computer, it will provide you with options of removing it. The
HouseCall Virus check-Up is a site that uses what some would call a security
hole to scan your hard drive via the Internet. However, if your anti-virus
software is not up to date, and you suspect your computer is infected with
something, this may be a reasonable approach to diagnostics. But remember,

Spyware/Adware
Spyware frequently attempts to remain unnoticed, either by actively hiding or by simply not making its presence on a system known to the user. Spyware can be downloaded from Web sites (typically in shareware or freeware), email messages, and instant messengers. Additionally, a user may unknowingly receive and/or trigger spyware by accepting an End User License Agreement from a software program linked to the spyware or from visiting a website that downloads the spyware with or without an End User License Agreement.
Spyware is programs that facilitate delivery of advertising content to the user through their own window, or by utilizing another program's interface. In some cases, these programs may gather information from the user's computer, including information related to Internet browser usage or other computing habits, and relay this information back to a remote computer or other location in cyber-space.
... Adware can be downloaded from Web sites (typically in shareware or freeware), email messages, and instant messengers. Additionally, a user may unknowingly receive and/or trigger adware by accepting an End User License Agreement from a software program linked to the adware or from visiting a website that downloads the adware with or without an End User License Agreement.
... Phishing and Pharming
Both pharming and phishing are methods used to steal personal information
from unsuspecting people over the Internet.
Phishing typically involves fraudulent bulk e-mail messages that guide recipients to legitimate-looking but fake Web sites and try to get them to supply personal information like account passwords.
Phishing attacks uses both social engineering and technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials. Social-engineering schemes use 'spoofed' e- mails to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security numbers. Hijacking brand names of banks, e-retailers and credit card companies, phishers often convince recipients to respond. Technical subterfuge schemes plant crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly, often using Trojan keylogger spyware.
Pharming (crimeware) tampers with the domain-name server system (DNS hijacking or poisoning) so that traffic to a Web site is secretly redirected (misdirected) to a different site altogether (fraudulent sites or proxy servers), even though the browser seems to be displaying the Web address you wanted to visit.
To help avoid pharming, make sure the Web site has a valid certificate of authority, from a service like VeriSign, that matches the site's name before you enter any personal data.
