Insert Flash Objects in PowerPoint 2010

Insert Flash Objects in PowerPoint 2010

It Seems strange that I am writing an article for PowerPoint as I always write something in .net or Silverlight but today my sister asked me that how she can insert a Flash File (swf) in PowerPoint as has to insert her company's Flash presentation into some other PowerPoint which she was making using PowerPoint 2010 so I thought to Share it.

Make sure that the Flash Player is installed on the computer. Then, follow these steps:

1.      Open PowerPoint Presentation in which you want to insert the Flash Object, in normal view.

2.      Add the Slide preferably blank slide in which you need to insert the Flash object.

3.     Now Click File Menu, and then click Options.  

4.     Then Click on  Customize Ribbon, and then check the check box labeled Developer in the right list, and then click OK.

5.     Now on the Developer tab, click the More Controls button in the Controls group.

6.     In the list of controls, click Shockwave Flash Object, click OK, and then drag on the slide to draw the control.

7.     Resize the control by dragging the sizing handles.

8.   Right-click the Shockwave Flash Object and then click Properties

9.     On the Alphabetic tab, click the Movie property.

10.  In the value column (the blank cell next to Movie), type the full drive path, including the file name (for example, C\:MyFile.swf) or uniform resource locator (URL) to the Flash file that you want to play.

And That's all we need to do, Now you can enjoy playing the file.

Here You Have' Mass Mailing Worm Spreading

Hello All,

A new kind of WORM/VIRUS is spreading, please be aware of the same. Below are the details about that please check this.

Have you received a mail recently that had the subject - 'Here you Have'? It may be a virus/ worm.

There is a new mass mailing worm out it in the wild and it is sending emails with topic - "Here You Have" or "Just For You". In addition, this also spreads via drives C: through H:. When spreading through email, the message contains a link to the worm hosted on a remote server. The file icon resembles a PDF document to maximize the chances of user clicking on it. Once the client system is infected, Win32/Visal.B uses MAPI to perform a mass mailing to all contacts that it finds on the system. Unfortunately, in a corporate environment the target audience may be extensive. As more machines on a corporate network are infected, more and more email is sent around on the local network, which can cause mail server performance degradation.

Also, once inside a corporate/ home network, it spreads by finding any accessible computer in the network, and copies itself as "N73.Image12.03.2009.JPG.scr" to drives C: to H: of the target computer. The worm creates an autorun configuration file named "autorun.inf" to run the worm copy when the drive is accessed and Autorun is enabled.

A sample email that you may receive looks like:

Subject: Here you have

Body:
Hello:

This is The Document I told you about,you can find it Here.

Please check it and reply as soon as possible.

Cheers,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft is calling the worm: Worm:Win32/Visal.B. The worm does not leverage a vulnerability in a specific product, but rather, uses a social engineering technique called URL obfuscation to trick a user to launch a malicious SCR file.

An extensive summary of the worm can be found at the Microsoft Malware Protection Center Technical Summary:

http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Worm%3aWin32%2fVisal.B

If you would like to stay safe from this, please don't click on links sent by unknown people are mails that have above structure. Microsoft has already updated their antimalware signatures and you are protected if you are running Windows Defender or Windows Security Essentials.
