Google is giving web masters access to the malicious code

Google is giving web masters access to the malicious code it finds in their web pages. If the Google bot detects malicious code when indexing a web page, search results pointing to this page will be tagged with an appropriate warning. Website operators can now use the Webmaster Tools to access detailed information about the affected code and trace a problem more quickly. To do gain access to these tools web masters must first validate their web presence by associating it with a Google account.

Google points out that the presented malicious code can only serve as a starting point for a comprehensive web page or server decontamination process. Removing the suspect code without closing the security hole that allowed it to be injected into a system will probably result in a re-infection.

Another new feature in the Webmaster Tools is "Fetch as Googlebot", which presents the content of a page the way it is seen by Google. The information available there, for example concerning a page's ranking and key words, can help web masters optimise and migrate their web pages.

wbar: a quick luanch bar( similar to avant and cairo dock)

wbar is a quick-launch bar (not a dock) that has an appearance similar to Avant Window Manager and Cairo Dock. It is GTK (Gnome) based but can work in all desktop environments. It does not require a compositing manager to be installed and is therefore quicker and more suitable for low-end hardware systems. It is the default in the Google gOS desktop and is available as a .deb package from Google. Download and install (from the command-line Terminal): wget http://wbar.googlecode.com/files/wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb Start wbar with custom start options (e.g. by pressing alt+F2). Here is an example: wbar -isize 48 -j 1 -p bottom -balfa 40 -bpress -nanim 3 -z 2.5 -above-desk Here is another example: wbar -above-desk -pos bottom -isize 60 -nanim 1 -bpress -jumpf 0.0 -zoomf 1.5 For a full list of command-line startup options, see: wbar --help Tip: If you want the "wave" effect just increase the -nanim value. I like the icons to just pop up so I do...
