Hackers discovered most serious bug on orkut and that’s too orkut’s most accessed area – scrapbook!
What makes it most serious is that this time user do not need to click or perform any action anywhere to trigger vulnerable codes.
Many users suffered from this. Most of them getting logged out of orkut by just visiting their own scrapbook. Worst they can not delete blank or suspicious scraps either! 🙁
The bug is not fixed yet and this can be used by malicious hackers to gain access victims orkut account so details about this bug will be posted after it gets rectified, till then lets use following solution to save yourself!
Objective: Blocking flash content [on orkut atleast] 
# Firefox User:
- Install Flashblock firefox extension!
- You will need to Restart Firefox.
Internet Explorer:
- Go to the Tools Menu -> Internet Options
- Click on the Security tab
- Click on Custom Level
- Disable Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
Additionally delete scraps from your scrapbook if you are getting logged out of orkut on just visiting your own scrapbook!
Thanks Kee Hinckley for timely post on issue!

How do u define a bug?
And your post has same code as in this post! 😀
i can’t able to post scrap,in the left most bottom it says -javascript void 0,but i have even enable javascript still having same stupid problem since 6 months.you really have to sort out my problem as soon as possible.otherwise i will become bad towards orkut.
@Meha
6 months is too much…
Try this thing first with 12 hours gap atleast…
Log into your account from different PC or browser and try to post a scrap.
If error comes again, then it means your account is disabled by Orkut.
In that case you can only delete it and create a new account. 🙁
Also the problem is not with orkut. Its problem with your PC and some virus/script on it.
