Microsoft on Tuesday plans to release seven security bulletins, including a fix for a zero-day flaw in Windows that is already being used in cyberattacks.
Microsoft on Tuesday plans to release a dozen security bulletins, including a "critical" one for its own anti-spyware and other security products.
As part of its monthly patch cycle, Microsoft plans to release on Tuesday eight security bulletins to plug holes in its software products.
Complexity in rootkits is growing at a phenomenal rate, allowing malicious software to burrow deep and potentially go undetected inside Microsoft's Windows platform, according to a security report released on Wednesday by McAfee.
The public release of computer code that exploits a yet-to-be-patched Windows security hole increases the possibility of widespread attacks, security experts have warned.
It takes a fair bit of nerve to charge anything to fix up a botched product, but Microsoft's $14.95 price to get a physical copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3 really takes some beating for sheer gall.
So, it seems the WOW -- for Microsoft's Windows Vista -- is not now, but sometime in the future, maybe.
As we slowly creep closer to the launch of Windows Vista, it seems that the six different versions of Microsoft's new operating system are for the benefit of the company's PR machine rather than its customers.
Microsoft's CEO points to his company's security advantages and dominance over open-source options.
The Center for Internet Security has created a benchmark and security scoring utility for Win2K Pro. With these tools, you can increase security for your Win2K-installed base.
In August, Microsoft released a dozen security bulletins, rating nine as critical threats. (The remaining three are important threats.) With that many updates in a single month, how do you know which ones to concentrate on first?
Don't let hackers overrun your network undetected. Here's how to install the open source intrusion detection system called Snort so you can catch the attackers before they get away.
In part two of 'Securing Microsoft', we learn how the company slowly became more intimate with the security community. Microsoft's slow shift to focus more on security came to a head with Vista, with more money spent in securing Vista than anybody has ever been invested into securing any piece of software before.
Microsoft has worked diligently to bring Windows together, culminating in the creation of the Home and Professional versions of Windows XP. But there are forces pulling these two OSes apart.
In many companies, valuable documents are scattered everywhere. Harnessing the information important to your company and making, it centrally available is the idea behind Microsoft’s newest server, code-named Tahoe, currently in beta release 2.
With Windows Defender beta 2, Microsoft beefs up its free antispyware app with a new name, engine and tools.
Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2007 came in dead last in our CNET antispyware testing. Ad-Aware failed to detect half of the test spyware, and unlike nine out of the 10 other antispyware apps we reviewed in December 2007, left behind traces for all but one spyware.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
