...Whatever you do, watch out for spyware that's pretending to be anti-spyware. There are some 200 rogue anti-spyware applications out there, says Webroot CEO David Moll. Surreptitious software hijacks a user's computer, then pops up a little box-looking for all the world like it's been generated by Microsoft-warning the computer has been infected. It then asks the user to click on a link to download anti-spyware. The money goes into the rogue's pocket, and the computer is still sick. "That's as sneaky as it gets," says Moll.

...team,” Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. “We didn’t need her to score last night, so that’s okay. Laura’s a player who does not take bad shots...They must have looked at the Columbia box score and said Laura can’t score.” If so, they thought wrong. Although the Big Red narrowed the gap to one point with five minutes left in the first frame, Harvard calmly responded with a Robinson three-pointer, followed by a layup and block...
