------------------------------------
Whether you are considering buying a luxury sport utility vehicle or a new blender, this site offers invaluable, unbiased consumer product
information. ConsumerSearch.com strives to provide "the latest and best competitive analysis of products" for free. The site divides goods into basic, logical categories, and for each product, offers three distinct and related services. Fast Answers is an at-a-glance compilation of reviews (gleaned from other sources) of each specific product; it also rates the best products according to the reviews. For an in-depth analysis of both the product and the experts that reviewed the products, readers will want to peruse the Full Story section. Finally, All the Reviews Reviewed consists of the ConsumerSearch.com's editors's descriptions, ratings, and opinions of each of the review sources. At present, the list of products on ConsumerSearch.com is not very extensive. However, the products that are covered are reviewed thoroughly and responsibly. New users to the site may want to browse the FAQs and the About ConsumerSearch.com section, in order to learn more about the company, its mission, and services. As the site continues to expand, users may choose to subscribe to the ConsumerSearch.com free newsletter which will send email alerts for the latest product reviews. [EM]

Jargon buster (Computers in Classrooms #2 May 02)
------------------------------------
Some of the terms used in this newsletter may seem a bit arcane to anyone living outside the UK, so here is a quick guide DfEE..........Department for Education and Employment
GCE...........General Certificate of Education
GCSE..........General Certificate of Secondary Education
GNVQ..........General National Vocational Qualification
ICT...........Information and Communication Technology
IT............Information Technology
NGfL..........National Grid for Learning
Ofsted........Office for standards in education

The UK Education System (Computers in Classrooms #2 May 02)
------------------------------------
In the UK, schooling ages are categorised as follows:

Early Years Age 0 - 5     National Curriculum Key Stage 1    approximately age 5 to 8,
                Years 1 to 4     National Curriculum Key Stage 2   approximately age 9 to 10,
                Years 5 to 6     National Curriculum Key Stage 3   approximately age 11 to 13,
                Years 7 to 9     National Curriculum Key Stage 4   approximately age 14 to 15,
             Years 10 to 11     Post-16

The "Year" refers not to the child's age, but to his/her position on the rungs of the National Curriculum. Thus, a Year 11 pupil is not 11 years old, but 15 or 16 years old, and in Key Stage 4 of the National Curriculum. Similarly, a pupil in Year 6 is 10 or 11 years old, and at Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum. In terms of the American system, age ranges correspond as follows:
USA Year ... USA Phase ..... Age .. UK Year ..UK Key Stage
K ........... Kindergarten ........... 5 ....... 1 ........... 1
1 ........... Elementary .............. 6 ....... 2 ........... 1
2 ........... Elementary .............. 7 ....... 3 ........... 1
3 ........... Elementary ............ 8 ....... 4 ........... 1
4 ........... Elementary .............. 9 ....... 5 ........... 2
5 ........... Elementary .............. 10 ...... 6 ........... 2
6 ........... Jnr High/Middle ..........11 ...... 7 ........... 3
7 ........... Jnr High/Middle ..........12 ...... 8 ........... 3
8 ........... Jnr High/Middle ..........13 ...... 9 ........... 3
9 ........... High Freshmen ..........14 ...... 10 .......... 4
10 .......... High Sophomores ......15 ...... 11 .......... 4
11 .......... High Juniors ..............16 ...... 12 .......... 4
12 .......... High Seniors ............ 17 ...... 13 .......... 4

Raging Search (ResearchBuzz #76 -- May 4)
----------------------
Another search engine!! Another search engine? Yes, yet another Web search engine has come online, but this one isn't just business as usual. For one thing, there are no graphics, no banner ads, and no fancy portal features, so Raging Search loads very quickly. Another thing that makes it stand out is the ability to customize various parameters like the number of results displayed per page or the amount of detail returned for each result, and have those preferences "stick," so users need not reset them every time they enter the site.
Also through this customization interface, users can select the languages of resources they want to search for (including support for various non-English character sets) and opt to include a "translated version" link along with each search result. And last, but certainly not least, all of the above runs atop an AltaVista search engine, consistently rated one of the best search tools on the Web, enhanced with Google-style link analysis technology to help identify the most useful sites. Overall, if you're serious about tracking something down on the Web, then Raging Search is definitely worth a look. [EA]

A Funny Way of Showing It ILoveYou Worm is Most Damaging Virus Yet (The Scout Report -- May 5)
------------------------------------
Vast numbers of users yesterday were doubtless disappointed to find that not only did they not have a secret admirer, but they had caught viruses in trying to open their "love letters." A new destructive worm swept computers around the world on Thursday, infecting systems in the Pentagon, the CIA, Parliament, and Ford Motor Company, to name just a few. Like the Melissa virus and so many of its other predecessors, the ILoveYou Worm comes most often in the form of an email attachment entitled, in its initial incarnation, "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs." Today, several imitators have been spawned with names such as "Mother's Day Order Confirmation," "fwd Joke," and "Very Funny." Of course, there's nothing funny about the virus, a Visual Basic script that, when it executes, replaces certain files (.jpeg, .mp3, and others) with copies of itself, and sends copies of itself to others via mIRC and Microsoft Outlook. Costs to clean up the damage the worm has caused are estimated in the billions, making it the most expensive computer virus yet.
Perhaps needless to say, online coverage of the ILoveYou worm is extensive, with ZDNet one of the more comprehensive sites devoted to the virus. The Resources button here leads to an extensive list of download patches. Reuters covers the latest incarnations of the virus, while yesterday's _New York Times_ article details earlier developments. Users wanting more information on the ILoveYou virus and how it works should turn to F-Secure or CERT, both of which have posted detailed advisories. McAfee has a patch for infected systems, and once their systems are clean, users may want to turn to MSNBC's virus horror story site to read about others's ordeals (including an assortment of amusing prank posts) or post their own trauma via the Tell us your tale link at the bottom of the page. Finally, the true techies can take a peek at the code, posted at SANS Institute Resources's site. [TK]

en français, le message spécial de F Jarraud dans EPI.Net  (http://www.epi.asso.fr )
------------------------------------
Attention ! Une nouvelle famille de virus, dont le plus celebre est "I love you", circule par le courrier electronique. Ces virus n'infectent votre ordinateur que si vous utilisez Outlook 98 ou Outlook 2000, ou Microsoft Exchange Server 4, 5 ou 5.5. Si vous n'utilisez pas ces logiciels, vous n'etes pas infecte.

- Comment circulent ces virus
-----------------------------
Ils parviennent dans des messages presentant un fichier attache avec comme extension .vbs Voici les 3 messages les plus repandus :
sujet fichier attache
ILOVEYOU LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs
fwd joke very-funny.vbs
Mother's Day Order Confirmation mothersday.vbs
N'ouvrez pas ces fichiers attaches !
Ils arrivent egalement quand vous utilisez le logiciel de chat Mirc.

- Que font ces virus
-------------------
Ils effacent les fichiers ayant comme extension .vbs, .js, .jse,.css, .wsh, .sct, .hta, .jpg, .jpeg, mp3 ou .mp2 Cela se traduit par des pertes de fichiers et un disfonctionnement de l'ordinateur.
Ils envoient en votre nom un message porteur du virus a vos correspondants.

- Que faire si vous etes infecté
--------------------------------
Microsoft vous explique comment eradiquer le virus a

http://www.symantec.fr/region/fr/iloveyou.html

- Quelques regles
-----------------
Les concepteurs de virus privilegient les outils Microsoft. Il y a d'autres logiciels pour lire le courrier. Mefiez-vous toujours des fichiers attaches meme quand ils semblent parvenir de proches. Ne les ouvrez que quand vous etes certain du contenu.
