Este analista Thomas Mendel da pesquisa de Forrester da semana publicou um relatório que reivindicasse esse Windows Vista “fosse rejeitado” na empresa e sugerisse a seus clientes que devem reavaliar suas distribuições de Windows Vista e as considerar esperar Windows 7. Não surprisingly, este é algo que nós, nossos milhões de clientes da empresa, e um grupo de statistics pesky não concordamos com. O Heck, mesmo Forrester não concorda com o Forrester! Deixe-me explicar:

Primeiramente, este relatório não reflete o ciclo normal do adoption do ósmio da empresa. O adoption da empresa de OSes foi sempre muito mais lento do que o adoption do consumidor. Apesar de tudo, promover o PC em seu quarto vivo é fácil, mas promover um infrastructure dianteiro e traseiro inteiro da extremidade aos milhares dos usuários sem downtime é muito mais complexo, e esse faz exame do tempo. Computerworld autor contribuindo (e sócio de Microsoft) David Feng apenas escreveu um artigo sobre isto, demasiado. O relatório de Mendel, entretanto, skims simplesmente sobre este conhecimento comum.

O que é ainda mais confundir é esse Sr. O relatório de Mendel contradicts diretamente um outro relatório de Forrester intitulado, “Construindo a caixa do negócio para Windows Vista,“que foi escrito pelo cinza de Ben do analista do companheiro. Este relatório esboça as cinco razões principais porque as empresas devem começar a migração da sua companhia

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
