Some Macintosh users have encountered a security program whose function and Web site have the tell-tale signs of a scam.Visitors to the Web site selling the program, called MacSweeper, are offered a free security scan of their computers. The scan, which only works on Macs, highlights supposed security problems with the computers. It offers to remove the problems with the purchase of a $39.99 lifetime subscription.But the awkward English on the program&#39;s Web site, and the way the program operates, have raised doubts over its legitimacy, users and security researchers say.&quot;The imbibed set of features locates all the junk and useless data on your computer and deletes them to reclaim the wasted space,&quot; according to the pitch on MacSweeper&#39;s home page.Security company F-Secure wrote on Tuesday that the program, called MacSweeper, may be the first rogue application for Macs.Windows machines have been more frequently targeted by similar software, sometimes labeled &quot;scareware&quot; since users are warned their computers will be in danger unless they purchase the software. Among the more notorious scareware for PCs is Winfixer, also known by the aliases ErrorSafe, WinAntiVirus, and DriveCleaner.The MacSweeper Web page is hosted on a server in Kiev, Ukraine, said Patrik Runald, security response manager for F-Secure, who is based in Malaysia. Information on the site about MacSweeper&#39;s company, Kiwi Software, has been plagiarized from Symantec&#39;s Web page, Runald said.&quot;They just ripped that information straight off there,&quot; Runald said.The same text is also used on Cleanator.com, which sells a Windows-compatible version of the same kind of program, Runald said. Another security vendor, Sophos, classifies Cleanator as a &quot;potentially unwanted program.&quot;Once MacSweeper is running on a Mac it will often pick odd items, such as language files, and label them as being a privacy risk, Runald said.In at least one instance an F-Secure researcher visited the MacSweeper site and clicked a button labeled &quot;Free scan.&quot; The scan highlighted Mac-related problems, even though the researcher was using a PC.MacSweeper doesn&#39;t use any tricks to get onto a machine other than trying to persuade users to download it, Runald said. Nonetheless, F-Secure typically contacts Finland&#39;s Computer Emergency Response Team when it finds scams such as MacSweeper, Runald said.A user on one of Apple&#39;s discussion boards wrote that their Safari browser kept redirecting to the MacSweeper site, a sign that malicious scripts may be involved.&quot;If I click on anything it&#39;ll try downloading the software,&quot; the person wrote. &quot;How do i get rid of this? It&#39;s really annoying. I don&#39;t want it, and I&#39;d wish it would leave me alone.&quot;

From the PHP in Action blog today, there's a new post that (briefly) shows how to run your tests directly from a popular unix text editor - vim.   I created my own test runner to run tests inside Vim, I can't remember how long ago. Must be a year or two. I never shared it with the world. It was too primitive for anyone else to use. Then, recently, I decided to try re-implementing it in a more serious way.   The "more serious way" meant using Vim script to its full potential, including the ability to work with objects and already has its own testing framework. He includes a screenshot but no download just yet. It looks promising and makes running tests as simple as hitting F11 and watching it go.

On his site, blogZero, Douglas Clifton shares his method for authenticating a Googlebot in both Perl and PHP. Basicslly, making sure that the bot hitting your server with the user agent containing Google is, in actuality, really from the search engine.    Following a tip from Russ I was pleased to find an interesting post on the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog titled How to verify Googlebot. In a nutshell, it explains how to use the Unix shell program host to authenticate that an IP address copied from your Web server log file really is a Googlebot and not some email harvester (or whatever).  I decided to take this a step further and demonstrate how you can automate this procedure using a scripting language.     He looks at methods using both programming languages and decides on showing off the PHP version first. It uses a simple method, made even easier by two of PHP's internal functions, gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr. The Perl version relies less of the "higher level" that PHP's functions use and opts for making an actual Socket object to handle the incoming request.
