I read a news today that aware me the posibility of my computer vulnerabilty to virus. Due to rampant fake MP3s, mostly on P2P networks, such as Gnutella used by Limewire. Though the possibility for me is not that risky for I’m not using a P2P in my computer for downloading MP3, instead I’m using the power of Google search engine.
According to the news hundreds of media files was also uncovered being used to trap the downloader, once you click the download button it will lead you to freemp3player.com, but others lead to different sites distributing adware and other pose as a codec installers that when run, display a fake error messages and download and starting to install silently tons of tons of dirty files, including many different adware packages, such as the following list below:
Adware-BB
Adware-Beginto
Adware-Isearch
Adware-Mirar
Adware-SrchExplorer
Adware-Zeno
Domains linked to from the media files include:
mediaprovider . info
missing-codecs . com
seonomad . com
vidscentral . net
While sometimes a user’s must accept a EULA before proceeding, others contain no EULA at all.
Better always be aware where are you surfing and know what you are dealing on when you are on the P2P networks. I can say to be safe is to follow your instict, when in doubt dont click it. I recommend Google search engine is the best alternative for finding a free MP3 files on the net and so far it was safe.

This PC mod is just perfect for the opening day of movie Iron Man this coming May 2, 2008. I don’t know if he only want to get piece of the action or what, but this is really the best move he can do. Iron Man Mark 1 case mod specification in the innards is really cool, but the outside looks doesn’t give me a high five, I don’t know maybe I’m not just a big fan of Greasy Metal finish and with my first impression with Titon knowing he created a case mod in Louis Vuitton concept is really crazy for me, excuse my accent.
And btw if you think this is all about the Iron Man movie concept, I don’t know exactly. Well, it’s all about Iron, that’s all I know. In fairness, Titon really did a good job on this one, in three weeks he finish everything with a cool specs and the paint finish is really well done.I advice better check the pictures and worklog and you decide.

HacknMod inspired us once again by modding this xbox controller. Something for us to think about owning one and maybe to create our own mod. Below is the features of his creation:
• Add LEDs to the buttons
• Rapid-Fire Mod
• Custom Paint Job
• Integrated Messenger Kit (above)
• Tilt Controller
Tilt controller, of course, isn’t a pure Wii-style hack, but it is pretty cool (see the movie). Most everyone could get the custom paint job right. Everything else after that requires some serious skill or acceptance of the fact that you will probably ruin one controller before getting it right on another.

This is another wicked job from the master himself Benjamin Heckendorn (aka Ben Heck). After the XBOX 360 laptop, now it’s the Playstation 3 laptop with amazing chrome paint finish, consider the most polished work he done compare to xbox 360 laptop.
Right now the detailed has not been revealed since he don’t give any detail right now. But he note that “In the coming weeks the “Making Of†articles will follow”.
Some quick specs:
- Original 60 gig PS3 model with backwards compatibility.
- 17″ HDTV 720p screen, with HDMI connection. (Same as last Xbox 360 laptop)
- Built-in keyboard and stereo audio amplifier.
- Measures 17″ x 13.75″ x 3″ (actually thinner than a stock PS3) and weighs 16 pounds!
Quote:
This unit was built by their request and is intended to be auctioned off for charity - more details to come. Since I am already busy with other things, I will not be making any more of these. Feel free to email and ask for other custom design work or inquiries, however!
