  • Klez threat upgraded to 'severe' - Symantec has been tracking an average of over 3,000 infections a day in the last few days. By comparison, the SirCam epidemic peaked at only 1,500 infections a day. As a result, Klez and its variants have been upgraded to a level four threat, which translates as 'severe'. Level five is the most dangerous. The latest variant spreads as an email attachment via the Windows Address Book, ICQ and local files and shares. Security firms have also warned that the virus may try to delete all files on a local drive on 13 September or 13 March.
  • Training the cyberwar troops - Military cadets attempt to defend computer networks in cyberwar games staged to mimic attacks by foreign intruders. What security lessons are there to learn at the anti-hacking boot camp?
  • The Future Of Gaming And Computer Graphics - ZDNet UK has posted an interview with Dave Kirk, Nvidia's chief scientist as he talks about the future of PC and console graphics. "Last year we took a scene from 'Final Fantasy,' dumbed it down a bit and were able to render it in real time at 12 to 15 frames per second. That same scene runs at well over 30 frames per second on a GeForce4, so now, if we did it again, we should be able to render the original scene from the movie at 12 to 15 frames per second. We are less than one year away from rendering it with full details and at full speed of 30 frames per second on PC hardware."
  • Intel christens 64-bit McKinley chip - The chip maker on Thursday announced it has named its next 64-bit Itanium processor "Itanium 2," Formerly code-named McKinley, Intel's upcoming Itanium 2 will be the second chip of the company's 64-bit line of Itanium processors. Stronger and faster than Itanium, Itanium 2 should offer as much as twice the performance of its parent chip, according to Intel.
  • Club3D announced SiS Xabre 400 based board - Club3D introduced the SiS Xabre 400 based videocard in Taiwan. Their solution works at 250/250 MHz for core and memory and utilizes 3.3 ns Hynix chips. The board is equipped with VGA, DVI-I and TV-Out connectors. As the SiS301 chip is also present, the board supports multi-monitor functions.
  • Hands on with the PDA-killer Sony P800 -  The P800 resembles its Symbian predecessor, the R380, sporting an LCD that takes up much of the front of the device, with a flip down keypad that mechanically touches the LCD. The camera is built into the back, but unlike Nokia's 7650 camera phone, there's no lens cover, which could leave the device vulnerable to dirt and dust (or in my case, stray tobacco).
  • Hardware reviews Round-Up - Triplex Millennium Silver GeForce4 Ti4600, eVGA GeForce4 MX440, MSI GeForce4 MX G4MX440-T, ABIT KR7A RAID,  SOYO KT333 DRAGON Ultra, Thermalright SLK-600 CPU Coolers, Cooler Master ATC-201 Aluminum Case, Socket Cooler Round-up, DiskOnKey 128MB USB, Neteasy NetCam, Samsung Syncmaster 171MP LCD/TV, P4 Cooler Roundup, Mobile 120 GB: FireWire Hard Drive From WD.
  • ABIT AT7 Tweak Guide - OC Workbench has published their tweaking guide for ABIT AT7.
  • Optical Drive Tweak Guide - Just like with the BIOS on your motherboard often times the manufacturer will find problems with the product after it has already begun shipping. They will apply the fixed BIOS to future shipping models and also post the updated BIOS to the web for us to download. You will need to know the model number of your drive before you can do this. Just like with BIOS updates, if it's not broke don't fix it! For firmware updates you will have to visit the manufacturers website and lookup your drives model number in their support sections.
  • WinXP Network Troubleshooting  - This article applies to Windows peer-to-peer networks using the TCP/IP protocol in a workgroup. It doesn't specifically address problems with other protocols or with Windows NT/2000 domains.
  • Unchecked Buffer in SNMP Service ~ Win98 patch - Microsoft released an updated version of the bulletin annoucing the availability of a patch for Win98 and Win98SE and to advise customers that the work-around procedure is no longer needed for that platform.

  • Scripting Hole In MS Word/Outlook Combo (Patch)- The company said the vulnerability, which could allow an attacker to launch his or her own script on a victim's computer, affects only installations of Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2002 for which the user has chosen Microsoft Word as the editor of choice for rich text or HTML mail - a combination Microsoft calls WordMail. More info & patch.

  • FlashFXP 1.4.4 Beta Build 848 - This new build fixed problem where sometimes FlashFXP incorrectly identified folders as files in the local view.
  • ZoomPlayer 2.6b1 - ZoomPlayer 2.6b1 has been released. As usual there's a long list of changes, here are just a few of them: Setting deinterlace and audio options for the Intervideo filters, faster folder/DVD image resize code, faster gradient draw, cycling subtitles now works for VobSub subs as well, Ogg audio and subtitle languages can now be selected (but it doesn't work together with VobSub) and the enter key can now be used to play an item in the playlist editor and chapter/bookmark editor.
  • TVTool 6.0d beta - The tool helps with the TV ouput of Nvidia graphic cards. The main problem is the black borders around the picture on the TV screen. They are very annoying for most applications like e.G. DVD-playback. 
  • VobSub 2.14 - VobSub 2.14 supports all common color space formats and a property page to switch between them. The SMI support also won't crash when you have control code like characters in the subtitle file. A few days I reported about the MFC-CD maker. Now there's a DirectShow filter that permits you do read these 800MB files directly from the CD.
