Bom Sabado Worm in Orkut Fixed by Google

The 'Bom Sabado' worm which had hacked through millions of Orkut accounts is now removed by Google. Google released a statement in their blog which notified all users that the worm Bom Sabado has been dealt with & Orkut is safe for now.

"Hi all,
This is to inform you all that we've contained the "Bom Sabado" virus and have identified the bug that allowed this and have fixed it.

We're currently working on restoring the affected profiles.

Thanks a ton to each of you who's made an effort to alert everyone else about this. I'll make sure to keep you guys posted on more updates"

The worm Bom Sabado which has a very ironic translation into Portuguese meaning 'Good Saturday' had affected the social networking site Orkut on Saturday 25th September. The worm did nothing like post malicious links, rather it just left scraps from the infected account to every friend's scrapbook.

The scrap read simply 'Bom Sabado'. So the unwary users just viewed the scraps & then the worm affected their cache memory leaving them infected.

Google had asked the Orkut users to not login for a while and refresh their browser cookies & cache. It was also advisable to change the password and the security question as well.

Many users were however unfortunate enough to be online when the Bom Sabado worm attacked leaving their accounts hacked. Google has promised to look into this matter and try and fix the hacked profiles in Orkut.

Protect India - Indian Economy

Hello Friends

U CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS.

Please spare a couple of minutes here... for the sake of India ... our country.



I got this article from one of my friend
s, but it's true, I can see this in day to day life,

Small example, 
Before 2 years 1 US $ = IND Rs 39
After 2 years, Now it is 1
 $ = IND nearly Rs 50

Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.


Our Economy is in YOUR hands



INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.


More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages... etc which are grown, produced and consumed, here.



A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on
 INDIAN economy.


We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use 
INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future. 


What you can do about it?


1.. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.



Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.


This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.


All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
