Spanish Orkut Virus

Orkut has changed the lives of people, usually only geeks would roam the internet searching for whatever found their fancy. Now the scene has changed, everyone seems to be orkutting and feeling on top of the world for the same reason.

But recently a bug/virus/spyware seems to have hit orkut, people who get infected complain that testimonials and scraps are sent automatically from their accounts to all their contacts. The virus is clever, excluding the http part of the URLs with the viruses so orkut does not ask for captcha verification which is usually asked for whenever a URL is posted onto Orkut.

Messages such as these are best avoided and deleted ASAP.


Oi , como vai?
Acho que realmente estamos cada vez mais perto do fim do mundo. Nunca tinha visto massacre igual àquele que aconteceu na universidade Politécnica de Virgínia nos Estados Unidos. Fiquei chocado quando assisti às imagens dessa atrocidade.
Segue o link do vídeo da tragédia, feito pelo celular de um aluno:

São imagens chocantes.
Um abraço!
