Today Orkut has been attacked by a new worm named Bom Sabado.(Bom Sabado means "Good Saturday" in Portuguese).It is actually a new script indeed.
This script is believed to be generated from Brazil where Orkut is most popular social networking website. Earlier mysterious links were spreading on Orkut and creating huge problems, that almost made Orkut users quite Orkut!
This new worm spreads on Orkut which sends a scrap with words “Bom Sabado” in it. There are some HTML content also there.
If you open your scrapbook, same scrap will be sent to all your friends from your account.
How it works?
When any one opens a orkut page that is infected by this worm,a javascript will run automatically on that page. Your browser will be hanged for some minutes or seconds. That script will automatically join you some communities.
For Preventive measures you can do the following:
Change your password .
Delete all of your cookies .
If you want to use Orkut then follow these steps :
Open your Host file with notepad :
Windows 95/98/Me C:windowshosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro C:winntsystem32driversetchosts
Windows XP Home C:windowssystem32driversetchosts
Windows 7 – C:windowssystem32driversetchosts
Add this code at the end
127.0.0.1 tptools.org
127.0.0.1 www.tptools.org
127.0.0.1 convites.001webs.com
