[AI] skype virus
Skype has learned that a computer virus called W32/Ramex.A is affecting users of Skype for Windows. Users whose computers are infected with this virus will send a chat message to other Skype users asking them to click on a web link that can infect the computer of the person who receives the message. Please note that Skype users ONLY become infected after they have downloaded the link and run the malicious software. The chat message, of which there are several versions, is cleverly written and may appear to be a legitimate chat message, which may fool some users into clicking on the link. Skype has been in contact with the leading antivirus software companies about this worm and currently FSecure, Kaspersky lab , Symantec and Spyware Terminator have already updated their antivirus products to detect and remove the worm. Here's a more detailed look at the situation for those who understand techier talk: list of 1 items . When a Skype user receives the chat message - either from their Skype contacts or users not on their contact list - it includes an internet link. Instead of a .jpg image that it seems to point to, the link actually leads to a virus file. By clicking on the link, the Windows Run/Save dialog box will pop up, asking for permission to save or run a .scr file. This is the virus file and should not be downloaded or run. list end If the user accepts the file, however, their Windows PC will be infected with the w32/Ramex.A virus. The worm uses Skype's public Application Program Interface (API) to access the PC. There are two ways to get rid of the worm: the normal way and the techhead way. Most users should NOT attempt to edit their computer's registry manually. For most people, downloading and/or updating their anti-virus software, and scanning their computer to detect and remove the worm, is the way to go. Expert users only expert users who know what they're doing can also remove the worm manually. OR Download new version of Symantac or Kaspersky lab or Spyware terminator or FSecure list of 8 items 1. Restart the PC in safe mode 2. Run regedit 3. Go to HKLM/software/ microsoft/ windows/currentv ersion/runonce find entry with mshtmldat32. exe. Delete this entry. 4. Go to Windows\System32 directory and delete following files: wndrivs32.exe, mshtmldat32. exe, winlgcvers.exe, sdrivew32.exe 5. Go to windows/system32/ drivers/etc 6. Find file hosts 7. Open it with notepad, ctrl+a and delete all entries (this will resume your antivirus updates), save, close. 8.

[AI] research on blind soft ware
The Towerlight, MD, USA Wednesday, August 29, 2007 Research focuses on software programs for the visually impaired By Daniel Gross Towson professor helps blind A Towson University professor's research is changing the way blind people use the Internet. Jonathan Lazar, professor and director of computer and information sciences, has been conducting research with the National Federation of the Blind to change Web design. In Lazar's research, 100 blind or visually impaired Internet users volunteered to document all of the frustrations they encountered while using the World Wide Web. This is one of the largest studies of blind computer users ever undertaken, according to Lazar. Most studies have only five to seven volunteers, he said. Lazar found that the volunteers had many frustrating concerns. Most of the problems found for blind users were technically easy to solve, Lazar said. Will it take a lot of time? Yes. But technically it is easy. There are a number of software programs for blind people to use the Internet such as Jaws and Window-Eyes. These programs use audio technology and are known as screen readers, said Lazar. They are strictly using audio. These programs help users navigate Web sites by reading through all the material on the site. For example, when browsing through a Web site, while having a screen reader program on the computer, the program will read off whatever information is in the heading of the site and then list each of the following links to the user. Essentially it reads any text and backend code, said Lazar. Lazar said that one of the problems with the Internet use among the blind stems from Web developer's faulty designs. He said that Web developer's leave out descriptions for each link that screen readers would normally speak Some pages are misleading, while others don't work at all, Lazar said. The study found that the Web developers for many sites do not label links in a way that screen reader programs can easily communicate to a blind person. Lazar said this is an easy fix to correct for those Web sites, but it does take time. For example, when tabbing to different links and boxes on a Web page, a computer user might highlight an image on the site, but instead of describing what the image is, it might say, click here when selected. This just doesn't do you any good, Lazar said. He said it is all a matter of spreading awareness to the Web developers. Lazar, the NFB, and numerous other organizations are working toward training Web masters. We need the Web masters to spread the word, Lazar said. Lazar said he hopes his conclusion of his research is working and that Web developers will see the need for better design and coding in Web sites. Not all are convinced that accessibility is important, Lazar said. The key is informing people. http://media.www.thetowerlight.com/media/storage/paper957/news/2007/08/27/News/Towson.Professor.Helps.Blind -2942970.shtml To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Govt. plans insurance scheme for disabled
there is no specific mention for the scheme being in place for the blind. however, i presume it will b applicable? smile! muffi. - Original Message - From: Sameer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Access India accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 8:13 PM Subject: [AI] Govt. plans insurance scheme for disabled Govt plans insurance scheme for disabled Sreelatha Menon / New Delhi September 14, 2007 May implement the Rs 2,400 crore programme this fiscal. While the social security Bill for the unorganized sector may take a long time in becoming a reality, the disabled in the country may get their own insurance scheme funded by a unique corpus soon. The disabled who have been denied insurance cover by companies all these years stand to get insurance as a right once the scheme is in place this year. The source of the funding of the insurance scheme is also unique. It is to be funded through a Rs 2400 crore corpus that has accrued to the Ministry for Social Justice and Empowerment from public sector banks. These banks, which had made a profit while rounding off their accounts, had been asked by the Supreme Court to spend the money for public good specifically for the disabled after a PIL three years ago. The ministry, which has started receiving the money, plans to implement the insurance scheme in this financial year using the funds. Interest from this corpus would be used for various disability welfare schemes and the insurance scheme will benefit from this fund, officials said. The National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental retardation and Multiple disabilities and the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities are working out the social security cum insurance cover with various insurance companies. A three-member team of experts, including Pradeep Ghosh of the NGO Oasis Bhopal, Dr T V Ramesh of Insurance brokering firm Alegion in Chennai, and Shyamala, director of Adi (formely Spastic Society of Northern India, has been working on the insurance scheme with the actuaries of insurance companies for the last four months. Pradeep Ghosh, one of the experts working out details of the insurance scheme with actuaries, said it was likely to be implemented on a pilot basis in one or two districts to begin with and would be spread out to the rest of the country in phases. Ghosh added that it was a big achievement for the disabled as they had been denied insurance cover by all companies so far. Ghosh himself an Ashoka social entrepreneur who was formerly with the IT sector said the insurance companies came forward for a Governemnt-supported insurance scheme after disability activists and lawyer Colin Gonsalvez threatened last year to move the court on the denial of insurance cover to disabled. Poonam Natarajan Chairperson of the National Trust said that the scheme was being processed and she would not be in a position to give details now. However sources said that the insurance cover would later incorporate products like endowment policies which would provide pensions to the disabled. The two national agencies on disability would be sending a proposal of demands to the insurance companies and the scheme is likely to be implemented in this financial year, sources said.
