Windows Live Messenger: Beware of Unsolicited Messages Sent From Your Friends’ Live Account
Recently (Starting from the beginning of the year), I received quite a lot of messages with links from my friends' Live account on Windows Live Messenger. The messages were sent by my friends' intention and some of the messages were sent as offline messages.
As discover by a few other bloggers (LiewCf and CyberHQ), the links in the messages will redirect you to a MSN phishing site and ask you to key your Live account's username and password. The phishing site tries to trick you by showing you "your images" that have been uploaded to Live website if you login into your Live account.

“Invalid Update Control CTF File” When Updating AVG Anti-Virus 8.0
From the AVG forum:
You need to rename/remove the CTF temp files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avg8\update\download…. Dont delete all the .bin files in there unless you want to re-run all updates since your original installation (reinstallation seems to cause a problem in IEs Link Scanner which causes IE to Crash). Only rename/remove the avginfo files that end with .ctf.
Google Chrome Bug?
Have been using Google Chrome for few weeks, I found that it is quite fast and stable. One of the thing you might not notice is the title at the tab of Google has some minor problem.
