Sometimes I just come across several posts that I think everyone should take a look at here are a few that I thought were worthy of your attention.
ReadWriteWeb asks Is Your PC Part of a Botnet? Botnets are a collection of computers that have been compromised by malicious software installed via a trojan or worm. If your computer seems inexplicably slow while connected to the ‘Net, it may be “zombified.” Read the article here on ReadWriteWeb.

Mashable had a great How To article last week on using Twitter to look for jobs.
