As part of its monthly patching cycle, Microsoft plans to release on Tuesday two security bulletins with fixes for flaws in Windows.
Microsoft has released an updated version of a faulty Internet Explorer patch to fix a serious security flaw introduced by the original version.
The animated cursor vulnerability in Windows could also affect those using Firefox on Windows machines, according to one of the security researchers who discovered the flaw.
Last Tuesday's critical security fix for Internet Explorer is causing trouble for users who have been testing the new IE 7 browser.
Microsoft issued a "critical" security alert about a hole in its Internet Explorer browser that could allow hackers to use an outdated Internet protocol to seize control of people's computers.
Microsoft is going to let everyone -- even people with an illegal pirate copy of Windows XP -- download IE7 because the software giant really cares about the safety and security of all Internet users. (But don't mention Firefox ...)
Microsoft's August security announcement only saw one bulletin, MS04-026, "Vulnerability in Exchange Server 5.5 Outlook Web Access Could Allow Cross-Site Scripting and Spoofing Attacks." Here are the details.
Since its November 2004 release, the first full version of Firefox has seen more than 25 million downloads in 100 days. But the popular browser has not been free of vulnerabilities.
In a single day, Microsoft recently released seven Security Bulletins--five of which were labelled Critical.
From Blaster Worm to Blue Hat, we bring you a complete retrospective on the evolution of Microsoft's security strategy over the last decade. Step onboard as we chart the triumphs and tragedies as the Microsoft engineers battled the tides of internet hackers, transforming them from adversaries to unlikely allies.
Microsoft's delayed reaction in fixing the latest Internet Explorer flaws has resulted in users taking a page out of the open-source movement's book by releasing their own patches.
With Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista, Microsoft shores up Internet Explorer's crumbling security status and takes aim at its biggest rivals.
