Be ware of this adware.

Pursuing my life slogan: “Pass it on; Share.” I share this news.

Please take note of this warning as per a news item in pcmag.

“MySpace users who expressed an interest in patio furniture got more than they bargained for if they clicked on an ad for DeckOutYourDeck.com earlier this month.”

“Michael La Pilla, an analyst for VeriSign iDefense, was searching MySpace on July 16 when he discovered that a patio furniture ad prompted a file called exp.wmf. If installed, up to five adware programs could have landed on the users' computers. La Pilla contacted MySpace but the company's defense team had already taken the ad down and was working to find its source.”

“Any user that was browsing with Internet Explorer and had not installed the latest Microsoft patches was vulnerable to this attack. In January, Microsoft released a patch that prevents WMF (Windows Metafile) files, so users that had installed the patch were safe. Browsers using Firefox version 1.5 or later are also protected from WMF files.”

The above post is sponsored by moremouse.com. Their latest web release is quite useful for travelers who are planning for a vacation in Orlando.

I reproduce a few salient points from the web release.

Orlando is not just about world famous theme parks.
There are some very peaceful locations around lakes like Lake Eola Heights, Lake Lawsona, Lake Cherokee, and Lake Copeland.

And also there is an airboat ride in Everglades.

A 45 minute drive from the theme parks takes you to countryside very similar to the UK with rolling hills and oak trees.

Where to stay.
Forget about staying in one of the 100,000 hotel rooms.
A whole range of accommodations are offered by Orlando Vacation Rental.

*This includes real estate in upscale gated neighborhoods;
*golf course communities;
*charming, old-fashioned towns, rural communities and areas with excellent schools;
*historic homes and luxury condominiums with great views of the city;
*vintage homes in the historic neighborhoods of Thorton Park, Lake Eola Heights, Lake Lawsona, Lake Cherokee, and Lake Copeland.

Exciting theme parks, glorious white sandy beaches and a warm welcome from the locals who love to see visitors enjoying themselves.

On top of all this is the wonderful climate and year round sunshine - your family deserves a wonderful holiday and so do you too!

Backed by 20 years of property management service, moremouse.com has been the choice of tourists who would like to spend their holiday in style.
