In an article covered by ZDNet today, the Federal Government is temaing up with the Internet Industry Association to curb the number of trojan or worm-infected computers (otherwise known as “zombies”) on the Internet.

Facebook Privacy Scanner – What Information Are You Sharing?
One of my friends brought this to my attention today (ironically through Facebook, thanks DJC!) and I thought that this would be a worthwhile piece of information to share. Facebook have had a recent habit of tweaking privacy options under the guise of allowing users finer control over their personal information whilst the default settings …
