Mozilla still be proud because the newest browser, Firefox 4, downloaded 7.1 million times in 24 hours since it was launched on Monday (3/21/2011). That is, the number of people have downloaded it three times Internet Explorer 9 which recorded 2.35 million times downloaded within 24 hours after first released a few days earlier.

“We are very pleased to report that during the 24 hours since the announcement, it has been downloaded 7.1 million times,” wrote Gary Kovacs on the Mozilla blog. He said, adds to 3 million users of version release candidate (RC), which eventually released as the final version of the total reached 10.1 million people. Until now, the news was written after more than three days already on the top downloaded 22 million times.

Firefox is open source. The browser is designed to encourage Internet free, open, and accessible to everyone. More than 50,000 people have joined the Mozilla community who contributed to the further development of these browsers from one version to the next.

However, things are more important today, according to Gary Kovacs, is not just the number of users that much. Firefox 4, according to him, began to pioneer the re-defining of the browser, from a series of traditional code to display the information as simple and static links into a safe environment for users to surf the internet.

“At the moment the more we access online, we would expect more from a browser environment. We certainly hope that he knows who we are, where to visit. We certainly expect the browser to remember something as simple as a trail, passwords, open tabs , open applications, and remember what our habits, to which the usual online, what tools to use, and without entering anything more, “said Gary Kovacs.

Firefox 4 comes with a more clean than the previous version, but still gives the opportunity for users to personalize the theme of choice is varied. Its features are also added to provide more comfort while online, such as tabs that can be grouped. Speed ​​to access the web is also much faster and supports graphics look better.

In fact, Stuxnet also infiltrate into the office of Iran’s nuclear facilities and potentially a small error may trigger a nuclear danger.

Here are the top 10 malware roaming in cyberspace who successfully detected by ESET Threat Sense Lab. Perhaps one of them to infect our computers.

1. Win32/Conficker.AA. Detection Percentage Year 2010: 6.85%

Starting June 8 the next Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and the company’s web world will change their internet protocol systems from IPv4 to IPv6. The plan change was made because the system is Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) has started a full and can result in poor connectivity.

IPv4 is the type of network addressing used in the TCP / IP protocols that use IP protocol version 4. Theoretically this system can “accommodate” up to 4 billion site addresses hosted around the world.

One of the founders of the web, Vinton (Vint) Cerf, who led the global campaign to encourage providers of web services and information technology managers to switch from IPv4 to IPv6 says IPv6 offers web address capacity larger than IPv4. “There could be trillions of hosts,” he said.

In addition to large capacity, IPv6 is also expected to connect devices, such as personal computers (PCs), tablets, and smartphones virtually. However, one disadvantage of the IPv6 network addressing system is not accessible from the modem and router that only uses IPv4.

Network Engineer Google, Lorenzo Colitti said the company might have supported IPv6 systems since early 2008. “We also have used the system to YouTube,” he said in a Google blog.

Software experts claim that Android more vulnerable than Apple’s IOS for the virus attacks. Therefore, the operating system (OS), Google’s open-source so easily attacked by hackers.

“Android is open-source. Hackers can easily understand the architecture and source code in it”, said Chairman Steve Chang of Trend Micro, as reported by Businessweek.

Another distinct Android OS, Google allows application developers access to ‘inside’ the Android. While in the IOS, each application needs permission from Apple before it is sold in iTunes.

This makes the IOS is more secure than Android. “We have to give appreciation to Apple because they are very careful. Almost no viruses on the iPhone, “he added.

Chang predicts, the next few years many Android users buy security applications for mobile. As is known, Trend Micro has released an antivirus Android.

Prediction from ESET, by David Harley, Director at ESET Malware Intelligence and analysts in Cyber Threat Analysis Center (CTAC), an agency that analyzes cyber threats, as well as part of a new research body set up by ESET about trends 2011.

According to this analysis, social networking media will remain a primary target of attacks as experienced during the year 2010 either by the users of Google and Facebook. It will even have a tendency to increase in 2011 on social media sites such as LinkedIn, Orkut, and Twitter. Similarly to search engines such as Bing and Yahoo.

Occurrences up on the other side also raises new problems, and the problem will still exist if the threat eradication efforts are limited to just the symptoms by providing menus of privacy in social media such as wanted by users, so that data security remains the responsibility of the consumer but eradication was not up to clear. Danger on Facebook is still there, but still subtle.

Attacks on mobile devices will have increased, certain brands that complement their products with the application for protection will be increasingly vulnerable to malware attacks, however, that certainly is an attack of false social networking will continue.
