"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, " "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing "

    Bing Search Engine

    Bing Search Engine
    A couple of weeks ago, It was all about the new Wolfram Alpha search engine and it was news chatterr all over the web for nearly 2 weeks. This week, Microsoft’s new Bing search engine is getting a lot of press.

    At first glance, the Bing search engine looks clean and fresh. Searching is ultra-fast and easy to read. Like Google, however, the Bing search engine also presents many ads at the top and sides of the search results. In fact, the layout of Bing and its results eerily (or blatantly) match that of Google.


    The true test of this new search engine will be the results it provides. I will test it from time-to-time, but it will take awfully good search results to tear me from Google.


    What about you? Have you tried Bing? What are your thoughts on its design and results?

    'Gumblar' web attacks spreading quickly

    Posted by: Webmaster on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 09:13 AM 14 Reads
    Malware Threats
    The attackers behind a series of rapidly spreading website compromises have begun using a new domain to deliver their malicious code, security experts said on Monday.

    The attacks, collectively referred to as 'Gumblar' by ScanSafe and 'Troj/JSRedir-R' by Sophos, grew 188 percent over the course of a week, ScanSafe said on Thursday. The Gumblar infections accounted for 42 percent of all infections found on websites last week, Sophos said on Thursday.

    Over the weekend, the Chinese web domain used to deliver the malicious code — gumblar.cn — stopped responding, according to Unmask Parasites, a service used to detect malicious code embedded in web pages. The attacks' malicious payload has, however, continued to be delivered from a different source, the martuz.cn domain, Unmask Parasites said in an advisory published on Monday.

    Windows 7 RC gets its first bug, and it's a doozy

    Posted by: Webmaster on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 - 09:49 AM 20 Reads
    Microsoft

    The first documented bug in the Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) is a doozy.

    Yesterday, Microsoft published Knowledge Base article 970789, which provides details of a problem that affects the 32-bit (x86) English-language version of Windows 7 build 7100. The problem, in short, is that the installer incorrectly sets access control lists (ACLs) on the root of the system drive. The longer version is described as follows:

    In the English version of Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) 32-bit Ultimate, the folder that is created as the root folder of the system drive (<var>%SystemDrive%</var>) is missing entries in its security descriptor. One effect of this problem is that standard users such as non-administrators cannot perform all operations to subfolders that are created directly under the root. Therefore, applications that reference folders under the root may not install successfully or may not uninstall successfully. Additionally, operations or applications that reference these folders may fail.

    Conficker Worm Plays No Tricks On April Fools' Day

    Posted by: Webmaster on Friday, April 03, 2009 - 07:27 AM 36 Reads
    SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - The Conficker worm's April 1st trigger date came and went without the bedeviling computer virus causing any mischief but security specialists warn that the threat is far from over.

    Conficker did just what the "white hats" tracking it expected -- the virus evolved to better resist extermination and make its masters tougher to find.

    "There are still millions of personal computers out there that are, unknown to their owners, at risk of being controlled in the future by persons unknown," said Trend Micro threat researcher Paul Ferguson.

    "The threat is still there. These guys are smart; they are not going to pull any obvious strings when there are so many eyeballs on the problem."

    The "No Bull" Guide to Conficker

    Malware Threats

    I usually have a pretty good idea of how widespread a particular piece of malware is by the number of incidents of infection that I come across. But when it comes to the Conficker worm (aka Downadup or Kido), I get the feeling that while there’s a lot of hype surrounding this latest bit of malware, actual infections are much lower than some would want you to believe. However, over the past few days the number of enquires I’m getting in relation to Conficker has skyrocketed
    Some antivirus companies love to hype malware because it’s a great way to sell security products. While Conficker isn’t new (it’s been around since November last year), the April 1st trigger date gives security firms the opportunity to ratchet up the hype a couple of more notches (and help drive concerned users straight into the hands of cybercriminals). However, it’s important to note that it’s unclear right now as to what will happen come the trigger date. However, what is clear is that you will need to be infected to be at risk of anything happening at all.
