Wintutis, a Victoria-based start-up is about to launch an add-on for Internet Explorer that can not only stop the browser from being hijacked by spyware, it can protect users from keyloggers that have already infected the computer.
For the first time, the amount of malicious software being released has outstripped that of legitimate software, according to new research.
Check Point claims its ForceField security product, which is due for release later this month, will not only protect against drive-by download attacks, it also allows users to discretely view porn or "buy gifts" without getting caught.
A Flash flaw discovered this month could change the face of Web security by allowing criminals to infect users of any browser or operating system with malware without making their browser or application crash.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
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 ...)

Internal employees are becoming the biggest threat in organisations, according to the annual FBI and the Computer Security Institute computer 2004 crime report. But attacks and costs are down.
We put the two top contenders in the spyware-shredding category head to head. Which one will leave your PC with that sparkly-fresh 'new pc' feeling?
A security start-up is borrowing a technique from the research labs to try to give Internet Explorer PCs relief from Web-based attacks.
Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.
If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.
While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.
