Beware of fake Facebook 'dislike' button
Lots of people think the Internet is a bit too chipper -- so much so that they've clamored for a "dislike" button on Facebook, which, to date, only officially allows people to "like" content on its site.
Now, some social-media spoilers are trying to turn the public's desire for that dislike button into a scam, according to a security researcher.
Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant at the British security firm Sophos, wrote in a blog post on Monday that fake dislike buttons are going viral on Facebook.
Watch out for posts that look like this, he says: "I just got the Dislike button, so now I can dislike all of your dumb posts lol!!"
That statement on Facebook is typically followed with a link, Cluley writes, that takes people to a fake Facebook application.
Instead of installing a dislike button, Cluley says, the application uses a person's social network to continue spreading the fake program.
"If you do give the app permission to run, it silently updates your Facebook status to promote the link that tricked you in the first place, thus spreading the message virally to your Facebook friends and online contacts," he writes.
The tech blog Mashable writes that the fake dislike button app indirectly points Facebook users to a real add-on for the browser Firefox, which can be used to install a dislike button.
The blog offers general security advice for Facebook users:
"As usual, we advise you not to click on suspicious links on Facebook, especially if they promise something that sounds impossible or unlikely. Do not give away your personal information, unless you're absolutely sure why and who you're giving it to," says Mashable, which is a CNN content partner.
Cluley says the fake dislike button is part of a recent trend of Facebook scams whose titillating links play on tech memes and themes from pop culture.
"It's the latest survey scam spreading virally across Facebook, using the tried-and-tested formula used in the past by other viral scams including 'Justin Bieber trying to flirt,' 'Student attacked his teacher and nearly killed him,' 'the biggest and scariest snake' and the 'world's worst McDonald's customer,' " he says.
Typically, such schemes are designed to steal information from Internet users. That information then can be sold to other parties. The scams also can be used to co-opt an Internet user's social network contacts.
If you accidentally installed the fake application, click on the "account" button at the top right of the Facebook home screen. Navigate to the option that says "application settings," and disable the fake "dislike" application.
If the app has posted to your Facebook wall, go to your profile page and delete those posts to stop the scam from spreading further. Mashable also recommends checking your "interests" and "likes" settings from the "edit my profile" menu, to be sure that the app hasn't lodged itself there as well.
Or Facebook may do all of that for you.
The company says it is trying to block the "dislike" app.
"We're working hard to block and remove malicious applications that claim to provide dislike functionality and inadvertently update people's statuses," a Facebook spokesman said in an e-mail to CNN.
"It's important to keep in mind that there is no official dislike button. Also, don't click on strange links, even if they are from friends, and notify the person and report the link if you see something suspicious."

How to Set Up a Client Computer to Log Into a Domain Controller
The domain controller is the central Windows computer that controls user permissions and computer log-in resources. Before the Windows client computer logs in to the domain, the computer's system information needs configurations. The system is configured to connect to the domain each time it boots up. The domain works differently than the default workgroup. Domains are typically used for larger networks, while workgroups are for small home or office networks.

� How to prevent future infections from a computer virus
What is a computer virus?
A computer virus is a small software program that spreads from one computer to another computer and that interferes with computer operation. A computer virus may corrupt or delete data on a computer, use an e-mail program to spread the virus to other computers, or even delete everything on the hard disk.
Computer viruses are most easily spread by attachments in e-mail messages or by instant messaging messages. Therefore, you must never open an e-mail attachment unless you know who sent the message or unless you are expecting the e-mail attachment. Computer viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread by using downloads on the Internet. Computer viruses can be hidden in pirated software or in other files or programs that you may download.
Symptoms of a computer virus
If you suspect or confirm that your computer is infected with a computer virus, obtain the current antivirus software. The following are some primary indicators that a computer may be infected:
� The computer runs slower than usual.
� The computer stops responding, or it locks up frequently.
� The computer crashes, and then it restarts every few minutes.
� The computer restarts on its own. Additionally, the computer does not run as usual.
� Applications on the computer do not work correctly.
� Disks or disk drives are inaccessible.
� You cannot print items correctly.
� You see unusual error messages.
� You see distorted menus and dialog boxes.
� There is a double extension on an attachment that you recently opened, such as a .jpg, .vbs, .gif, or .exe. extension.
� An antivirus program is disabled for no reason. Additionally, the antivirus program cannot be restarted.
� An antivirus program cannot be installed on the computer, or the antivirus program will not run.
� New icons appear on the desktop that you did not put there, or the icons are not associated with any recently installed programs.
� Strange sounds or music plays from the speakers unexpectedly.
� A program disappears from the computer even though you did not intentionally remove the program.
Note: These are common signs of infection. However, these signs may also be caused by hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a computer virus. Unless you run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, and then you install industry-standard, up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, you cannot be certain whether a computer is infected with a computer virus or not.
Symptoms of worms and trojan horse viruses in e-mail messages
When a computer virus infects e-mail messages or infects other files on a computer, you may notice the following symptoms:
� The infected file may make copies of itself. This behavior may use up all the free space on the hard disk.
� A copy of the infected file may be sent to all the addresses in an e-mail address list.
� The computer virus may reformat the hard disk. This behavior will delete files and programs.
� The computer virus may install hidden programs, such as pirated software. This pirated software may then be distributed and sold from the computer.
� The computer virus may reduce security. This could enable intruders to remotely access the computer or the network.
� You receive an e-mail message that has a strange attachment. When you open the attachment, dialog boxes appear, or a sudden degradation in system performance occurs.
� Someone tells you that they have recently received e-mail messages from you that contained attached files that you did not send. The files that are attached to the e-mail messages have extensions such as .exe, .bat, .scr, and .vbs extensions.
Symptoms that may be the result of ordinary Windows functions
A computer virus infection may cause the following problems:
� Windows does not start even though you have not made any system changes or even though you have not installed or removed any programs.
� There is frequent modem activity. If you have an external modem, you may notice the lights blinking frequently when the modem is not being used. You may be unknowingly supplying pirated software.
� Windows does not start because certain important system files are missing. Additionally, you receive an error message that lists the missing files.
� The computer sometimes starts as expected. However, at other times, the computer stops responding before the desktop icons and the taskbar appear.
� The computer runs very slowly. Additionally, the computer takes longer than expected to start.
� You receive out-of-memory error messages even though the computer has sufficient RAM.
� New programs are installed incorrectly.
� Windows spontaneously restarts unexpectedly.
� Programs that used to run stop responding frequently. Even if you remove and reinstall the programs, the issue continues to occur.
� A disk utility such as Scandisk reports multiple serious disk errors.
� A partition disappears.
� The computer always stops responding when you try to use Microsoft Office products.
� You cannot start Windows Task Manager.
� Antivirus software indicates that a computer virus is present.
How to remove a computer virus
Even for an expert, removing a computer virus can be a difficult task without the help of computer virus removal tools. Some computer viruses and other unwanted software, such as spyware, even reinstall themselves after the viruses have been detected and removed. Fortunately, by updating the computer and by using antivirus tools, you can help permanently remove unwanted software.
To remove a computer virus, follow these steps:
1. Install the latest updates from Microsoft Update on the computer.
2. Update the antivirus software on the computer. Then, perform a thorough scan of the computer by using the antivirus software.
How to protect your computer against viruses
To protect your computer against viruses, follow these steps:
1. On the computer, turn on the firewall.
2. Keep the computer operating system up-to-date.
3. Use updated antivirus software on the computer.
4. Use updated antispyware software on the computer.

Peng Shulin met with an accident and his body was cut into two in 1995. It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life.
Bedridden for years, doctors had little hope for him to live normally again. And recently, the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about his plight and devised a plan to get him walking up again.
They created a casing for his lower part of the body shaped in an egg and used two bionic legs for walking. Mr Peng is learning how to walk with his new lower part and he is delighted with the device.
