Este analista Thomas Mendel de la investigación de Forrester de la semana publicó un informe que demanda ese Windows Vista “se ha rechazado” en la empresa y sugiere a sus clientes que reevaluar sus despliegues de Windows Vista y los consideren el esperar de Windows 7. No asombrosamente, éste es algo con el cual nosotros, nuestros millones de clientes de la empresa, y un manojo de estadística pesky no convenimos. ¡El Heck, incluso Forrester no conviene con Forrester! Déjeme explicar:

Primero, este informe no refleja el ciclo normal de la adopción del OS de la empresa. La adopción de la empresa de OSes ha sido siempre mucho más lenta que la adopción del consumidor. Después de todo, el aumento de la PC en su sala de estar es fácil, pero el aumento de una infraestructura delantera y trasera entera del extremo a los millares de usuarios sin tiempo muerto es mucho más complejo, y ese toma tiempo. Computerworld autor que contribuye (y socio de Microsoft) David Feng apenas escribió un artículo acerca de esto, también. El informe de Mendel, sin embargo, desnata simplemente sobre este conocimiento común.

Cuál es aún más desconcierto es ese Sr. El informe de Mendel contradice directamente otro informe de Forrester titulado, “Construyendo la caja del negocio para Windows Vista,“que fue escrita por el gris de Ben del analista del compañero. Este informe contornea las cinco razones principales por las que las empresas deben comenzar la migración de su compañía

In case you have been living under a rock for the past month you have most likely heard about the DNS cache exploit recently discovered by Dan Kaminsky. This might be one of the most severe flaws discovered as it was cross platform affecting everything from Windows to Linux, UNIX, Cisco IOS etc.... It was so big in fact that all the major vendors worked together to get the patch issued on the same day. The flaw would allow an attacker to insert a malicious DNS record into the cache. As an end user you type in www.technet.com and rather than get the proper IP address the cache delivers the malicious IP address sending you to ???? You can find out more on the details of the flaw at Dan's blog.

You should also make sure that you are patched. Make sure that your upstream ISP DNS servers are patched by calling them or using Dan's DNS Checker at the top of his website.

So why all of a sudden a rush to ensure you are patched? Well the patches issued by the vendors have been reverse engineered and exploit code has been published! Dan has

Do you know what XLG Security Center is?

DESCRIPTION

XLG Security Center was discovered to be a clone of XLGuarder which is a rogue anti-spyware program causing issues for computer users all over the world. XLG Security Center pretends to be a full security software suit that helps you remove or prevent spyware and other infections. XLG Security Center is far from doing any of this.

XLG Security Center tries it’s best to get you to purchase the full version of the XLG Security Center program through popus, system alerts and fake scan reports. XLG Security Center may also spread the XLGuarder program onto your system which is no better than having XLG Security Center installed. XLG Security Center has a silhouette of a woman which we think is part of the voice that you hear when XLG Security Center is run. This most deceptive thing about XLG Security Center is that you cannot close the program unless you end process or completely remove it.

Aliases: XLG Security Center, XLG SecurityCenter, XLGSecurityCenter.

In non-techie terms: XLG Security Center is not much different from many other rogue anti-spyware programs that are infecting computer users today. The web site xlguarder.com is
