Look for status updates,wall posts and comments.If the user hasn’t updated a status for quite a long time and hasn’t been involved in any wall posting or commenting of other statuses,it means that the profile is likely to be fake. 3.  Look at the recent activities.If it is that the user has just been adding randomers and making new friends,and that there are no pages liked or groups joined,it suggests that the user is determined in jst adding people and hence the profile is fake. 4.  Check out the friend list.If found that maximum of the friends are of the opposite gender,it can be assumed that the profile is used either for fun or for random dating. 5.  Check the info.If found that there is no ideal links given regarding school or education institutions or workplace and that the user is looking for dating and interested in both men

As your work and play converges even more on a digital device - a tablet, smartphone or the laptop, beware of the increasing threats.  Android   devices are now the highest selling mobile devices in the Asia Pacific market and hackers will take advantage of that by developing mobile malware. Consumers aren't the only ones at risk of mobile threats. Enterprises, particularly those embracing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), are also at risk. Overall, non-Windows attacks will increase in 2013. Software security expert  McAfee , an  Intel  company, in a release, looks at the threats to computers in 2013:  Top 10 Enterprise Security Predictions   1. Targeted Attacks: 2012 saw an increased growth in targeted attacks that proved successful in disrupting service and fraudulently obtaining significant amounts of intellectual property.

Computer viruses are written by a variety of perpetrators. Historically they have been brilliant teenage kids or desperate people in search of attention. They are typically male and in their teens or early 20s. However,  David L. Smith , author of the famous  Melissa virus , was 30 when the FBI caught up with him. Still, I like how Jack Sebbag, a vice president at the  antivirus software company McAfee, characterizes virus writers: "They're 14-year-old kids who can't  get a date , but have incredible talent and  are looking for  a challenge to bring (millions of) computers down just to get a little notoriety." And some, as it turns out, are looking for work. In one variant of the MyDoom worm, there was a message to the antivirus software industry that said, "We [sic] searching 4 work in AV industry."
