Koobface: An emerging threat for computer security

Computer security is a big thing in the age of internet. No one wants their private information to go public or their important banking data stolen. Still there are people who intentionally develop malwares that are designed to do just that.

Over the years, a technique that the IT managers have been using to avoid these attacks was to isolate the most important computer systems on a separate platform. But now that we know there are cross-platform malwares, some very dangerous ones among them, the concept of computer security needs a revision. A notable malware among this class is called Koobface.

Photoshop Slice Tool 

Today we are going to take a look at one of the most essential tools in a web designer’s photoshop arsenal, the slice tool. I say this tool is essential because you have to slice images to make them an individual image in a theme or layout in a web design. This allows for you to give that segment a particular property and name to allow you to find it easier in the mix of all your other images. Also in this video I will be showing you how to save for web and devices which allows you to use those images or convert the images for a web format. This can also be essential in decreasing file size to make the image load quickly on the web. I hope you find this lesson somewhat useful. Thanks for watching.

It’s a fun to play game where you can attempt your driver’s licensee by completing the set amount of tests. It’s a very simple concept, and you’d think that this would be an easy game to complete, right? Well let’s get into the main killer of the game for me.
