SlideShow: Nokia's 808 PureView Symbian smartphone with 41 Megapixel camera

A mobile photographer's dream device, the Nokia 808 PureView features a 41-Megapixel camera that can capture great detail in photos and HD video. Currently a Europe-only handset, the Nokia 808 PureView shows us a glimpse of what is possible in future Nokia handsets. Having used the device for a few days now, I can say that the camera is superb and has a good range of control. Symbian may not be everyone's cup of tea these days but the 808 PureView is a solid all around phone and makes it possible to leave that point-and-shoot or video camera at home. I like it so much, I might order my own. This is the bold and forward-looking Nokia we know and love.

McAfee offers free detection for massive DNSChanger Trojan scheduled to hit tomorrow

Thousands of Internet users worldwide could lose access to websites, email, chat and social networking tomorrow after the FBI shuts down temporary servers that were used to replace fraudulent servers operated by hackers.

This blackout will affect all systems infected with the DNSChanger Trojan, a malware program created to redirect the Internet traffic of unsuspecting consumers to websites from which these cybercriminals could profit.

Most users who are affected by the trojan should have long ago been alerted by their Internet Service Providers that they need to correct their DNS settings and remove the rootkit infection that is responsible. 

McAfee announced the release of free tools to help consumers check to see if their computers have been infected by the Trojan, and to help them modify and restore their Internet settings if they test positive. Consumers can simply visit www.mcafee.com/dnscheck and click a button to run a check. Take a look at this blog post from Robert Siciliano, Online Security and Safety Evangelist to McAfee, for more information:
