  1. Some Poking Around by paultag · · Score: 1 · on Norton Users Worried By PIFTS.exe, Stonewalling By Symantec

    It seems that it sends data to http://stats.norton.com/n/p?module=xxxx where xxxx is an integer. http://stats.norton.com/n/ requests auth from a tomcat server, for "statistics" Just thought this was a bit odd. Perhaps they have a nice web interface to aid in their world takeover.

    No it's not it's silently collecting stats. Check out: http://stats.norton.com/n/p?module=2667&product=NSW&version=200.10.0.109&e=1.4.5.91&f=1.4.5.91&g=0&h=2&i=0&j=1.4.5.91

    Give it bad input, and you will see that it's just a Tomcat server that takes REST URIs.

    While I'm happy the US courts were sane, Microsoft has already stopped all plugin support except for ActiveX crap. I'm sure it was because ActiveX is sooooooo secure, you can even write a virus scanner that runs in your browser, sheesh.

  6. No one writes software for the mac... by Theaetetus · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft's Home Of Tomorrow Has No Bathroom
    No one writes software for the Mac except Apple. So basically, if Apple doesn't provide something - you're screwed

    You're so right. No one writes software for the Mac.

  7. AV solutions by ReluctantBadger · · Score: 2, Informative · on Anti-Viral Software Recommendations?

    At work, we use Sophos for Windows 2000 and 98 workstations. Antigen for Exchange 2000 (which utilises McAfee & Sophos engines in our config, but there are more). Norton with wrapper for Mailsweeper. Personally, I use Sophos on my Win2k workstation. It is constantly updated, and the support from Sophos is great. Plus it's a UK company ;) so I'm biased!
