Spyware-Removal Program Tagged as a Trap
Spyware experts such as Turner and Howes don't dispute Simmons' explanation of the problem, and say that the version of the program that is available on the SpywareNo Web site is at least easy to remove. But that doesn't excuse SpywareNo of responsibility, they said. "I'm not sure what the case is, but SpywareNo has a terrible problemto have rampant reports of stealth installs and spyware and SpywareNo running on the same desktop. These are just unconscionable practices," Howes said. Reputable spyware vendors that use affiliates to promote their wares have strict terms in their affiliate agreements that specify what kinds of behaviors, such as stealth installs, are not acceptable, Howes said. "Reputation is one of the most important things you possess, especially when you're dealing with adware or spyware victims whose trust has already been violated once," he said.

Experts urge calm over multiplying Mac Trojan
If users thought the Mac-targeted Trojan discovered last week was a one-off, they'll need to think again � security firm F-Secure has discovered 32 variants of it, but claims about its powers have been wildly overstated, acccording to experts. "Looks like the Mac Trojan we posted about last week was not an isolated incident. The gang behind it seems serious about targeting Mac users as well as Windows users. And they keep putting out slightly modified versions of the Trojan for the Mac too," writes Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure. Last week, Mac security software vendor Intego discovered a Trojan designed for Mac OS X being distributed via porn sites. The Trojan is being disguised as a codec � a device used to decode digital streams.
Colours in various hues spell success
Creating a brand image is key to the success of any business as this is what distinguishes one company from the other in today's competitive environment. A few weeks ago Emirates Business had highlighted the importance of choosing brand names keeping the global business environment in mind. Today we look at another aspect of branding: colour. While research says colour increases brand recognition by up to 80 per cent, experts say firms with global business interests should choose colours carefully as they have different meanings in different cultures, awaken emotions, change attitudes and can create preference towards a product or service. Landor Associates one of the world's leading strategic branding and design consultants, which has helped several companies in the UAE create their brand image, says colours are an integral part of a brand strategy.

Is your home filled with constant fussing and fighting, and sometimes, physical abuse? Some experts say domestic abuse is a form of terrorism for our children. For the fifth year, WTHR Channel 13 is Shattering the Silence on domestic abuse – bringing the issue out of the shadows. Domestic abuse affects one in four American families, and children who live in homes filled with abuse have a greater risk of repeating the cycle – becoming abuse victims or abusers. Our station's 2007 Shattering the Silence campaign will run throughout July and August with special news series, public service announcements urging victims – men, women and children - to seek help, and donation drives for area domestic abuse service agencies. This year, our stories will include compelling testimonies from prominent – even famous - men who witnessed horrific domestic violence in their homes as children.
List of evangelical kingmakers may signal shift in politics, opinions
NEW YORK, N.Y. As the battle for the Republican presidential nomination takes shape, it is revealing a "seismic shift" in the way evangelicals shape their opinions, political observers say. A recent story by the Religion News Service, in an effort to "identify the religious leaders who'll play major roles in the primary elections," named the top 10 kingmakers of the Religious Right. Experts say the people includedor omittedfrom its ranks could indicate a shift in the way evangelicals will vote for president. The list, released April 18, includes a suburban mother of two who happens to direct Iowa’s chapter of Concerned Women for America. But it doesn't include Old Guard evangelicals like Pat Robertson and Ralph Reed. Also missing from the list was Jerry Falwell, who died May 15, a month after the list was released.
