December 24th, 2008 by Root

I would like to greet everyone who visits this website page called “Frienster Indonesia”. In case you’re searching for Frienster, one of the best social networking website in the planet, you just found one of official frienster fan site!

Frienster is a privately owned internet social networking website and the first online social network.[1][2] Its headquarters are in Mountain View, CA, US.. In case you’ve been to Wikipedia, that’s what you should have read.

And just like any other social networking site, Frienster is focused on helping people meet new friends, stay in touch with old ones and sharing online content and media. (But you can’t dowload copyrighted materials, of course).

The website is also used for dating and discovering new events, bands, hobbies, and more. Users can share content including videos, photos, messages and comments with friends via their profile and their network.

If there is Facebook in the Americas (North America/Pacific Region), here in Asia, Frienster is superior and dominant.

Over 90% of Friendster’s traffic comes from Asia. In Asia, Friendster has more monthly unique visitors than any other social network. The top 15 countries accessing Friendster today are the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United States, Singapore, Canada, India, Australia, the UK, Hong Kong, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, China, Taiwan and Korea.

Now you know why my title if “Welcome! Frienster Indonesia Malaysia Philippines”. That is because those are the countries in Asia that has the most incoming traffic in Frienster.

Buy why FRIENSTER instead of FRIENDSTER? Well, if you’re new here, you might ask that. But if you are an old time, a frequent visitor, you’ll know why I used the word FRIENSTER instead of FRIENDSTER.

KoobFace Virus/Worm on FaceBook and MySpace

December 12th, 2008 by Root

Koobface virus is on the loose! Facebook and MySpace users please beware. The koobface worm or virus, once it gets into your computer (or infects it) will take your private data, like credit card numbers and other internet activies.

The news of this threatening virus was first discovered in the first days of December and after almost 2 weeks, the Koobface worm or virus is still going strong and continues to torment and spy on MySpace and facebook users. So the management of Facebook (through Barry Schnitt, the spokesperson) He said that there had been a lot of viruses that attempted to use Facebook to disseminate themselves. However he made it a point that only a very small portion of the whole Facebook population had been directly affected.

How Does the KoobFace Worm/Virus Work?

Just like any other worm, trojan and virus, the Koobface virus must be activated and executed first on the host’s local PC.. How they do this? Well, they first spam a Facebook/Myspace contact with comment title such as such as “Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf On The Street” and “My friend catched [sic] you on hidden cam”or “You look just awesome in this new movie.”

Once the user clicks the link, he will be redirected to a page where he will be requested to download an update of Adobe Flash Player (apparently).. and there you go, you’ll be infected with the Koobface virus. Pretty clever.

But not to worry. McAffee and Facebook and Myspace told users that they are doing everything to stop and eliminate this menace.
