Video: How to Install Ubuntu 11.04

It seems like the development of Ubuntu is a lot faster than OS X, Windows or any other operating system. With a lot of new versions being launched it is sometimes a little difficult knowing how to install the latest version of Ubuntu.

Here is a great video on how to install Ubuntu 11.04. Ubuntu 11.04 is the next version of Ubuntu that will be released to the public very soon.

Virus Infecting Mac and Linux

Koobface Trojan is back, and now it comes with a few surprises for some friends: Infecting Mac OS X and Linux OS.  Intego, the Mac Security Blog, informed that this virus is spreading through social networks and does affect Mac computers as well as Linux.

Koobface appears in social networks like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace and now they will not infect only Windows computers. One of the common messages we should receive indicating the presence of Koobface: “Is this you in this video?” once we click on the link it will try to run an applet from Java which will install a malware in the OS.

As for Windows, Koobface will run a local web server and an IRC Server, acting as a Botnet and as a DNS changer; and of course will try to reproduce to other computers.

Intego assures that the Intego VirusBarrier X6 and X5 detect and eradicate this malware, but we must avoid running any unknown Java applet in our computer, and if so, we should detect an installation is running and quickly cancel it.
