Mozilla has stopped distributing a language pack for Firefox after discovering it had been infected by malicious code for over two months.
Microsoft said on Sunday night in the US that it is planning to make available this week a patch for a Windows flaw that has already been used in an attack.
Microsoft has issued patches for 21 flaws in its software, saying all but two of them could let an intruder run malicious code on a compromised computer.
Clicking the fraudulent update could install malicious code on your desktop.
31 new security fixes are available for Mac OS X.
Rootkits, which alter the kernel of an operating system and allow malicious code to hide from security software, seem to have stumped the security industry.

You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.
AVG Internet Security 8.0 provides strong protection against malicious Web sites, but its full-system scans sometimes tax system resources and produce false positives.
AVG Anti-Virus 7.5 Professional Single Edition is a pretty good, no-frills virus scanner. But you'll need to purchase antispyware software for complete malware protection.
Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.
