  3. Windows Media Player on Online Videos May Conduct Viruses · · Score: 0

    That link suggests that it's Windows Media Player, rather than WMV, it is there any issue , due to embedded IE. It also specifically mentions quicktime as an exploitable format. It also says there are exploits in second life (that's a new one on me actually). So, list of places windows users will probably pick up nastyware .

  5. Re: impact on Most Users Think They Have AntiVirus Protection, While Only Half Do · · Score: 1

    Anti-virus programs are able to scan opened files in addition to sent and received e-mails 'on the fly' in a similar manner. This practice is known as "on-access scanning." Anti-virus software does not change the underlying capability of host software to transmit viruses. Users must update their software regularly to patch security holes. Anti-virus software also needs to be regularly updated in order to prevent the latest threats. For example, Linux requires specific software to write to NTFS partitions, so if one does not install such software and uses a separate installation of MS Windows to make the backups on an NTFS partition (and preferably only for that reason), the backup should remain safe from any Linux viruses. Likewise, MS Windows can not read file systems like ext3, so if one normally uses MS Windows, the backups can be made on an ext3 partition using a Linux installation.

  10. Re:human error on PEBKAC Still Plagues PC Security · · Score: 1

    Among other companies bought and sold by McAfee (formerly known as Network Associates) is Trusted Information Systems, which developed the Firewall Toolkit, which was the free software foundation for the commercial Gauntlet Firewall. But antivirus should update online frequently. Keep on update only, can patch by McAfee. The more safe thing is use NAT(Network ADDRESS Translation) is a technique of transceiving network traffic through a router that involves re-writing the source and/or destination IP addresses and usually also the TCP/UDP port numbers of IP packets as they pass through. Checksums (both IP and TCP/UDP) must also be rewritten to take account of the changes. Most systems using NAT do so in order to enable multiple hosts on a private network to access the Internet using a single public IP address (see gateway), this much more secure..... rather than anti-virus.

  13. IM risk to use on Despite AOL's Claim, AIM Worm Hole Still Wide Open · · Score: 1

    The widespread use of instant messaging (IM) continues to increase the security risks for both organizations and individual users. While instant messaging can be a very useful communication tool, it is also subject to many security concerns. Recent attacks include new variations in the establishment and spread of botnets, and the use of compromised instant messaging accounts to lure users into revealing sensitive information. Variants of e-mail worms (such as the Mytob family) have also been spread through the use of instant messaging. The general risk areas related to instant messaging are:

    Malware -- Worms, viruses, and Trojans transferred through the use of instant messaging. Many bots are controlled via IRC channels.

    Information confidentiality -- Information transferred via instant messaging can be subject to disclosure along any part of the process.

    Network -- Denial of service attacks; excessive network capacity utilization, even through legitimate use.

    Application vulnerabilities -- Instant messaging applications contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited to compromise affected systems.
