  • Spam clients outed, credit card details published - Anti-spam activists have upped the ante in their fight against junk email by publishing the details - including credit card information - of people who've ordered spamming services online. Activists published details from order forms left on a monumentally insecure spam services Web site (http://202.63.201.239), run by notorious American spammer Robert Soloway, on the newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email (NANAE). Names, addresses, phone numbers of seven "would-be spammers" were published on the newsgroup last week. Three of those who ordered a $129 spam run or bulk mailing lists from the site come from the UK, three from the US and one from Germany.
  • Kinko's spy case: Risks of renting PCs - For more than a year, unbeknownst to people who used Internet terminals at Kinko's stores in New York, Juju Jiang was recording what they typed, paying particular attention to their passwords.  Jiang had secretly installed, in at least 14 Kinko's copy shops, software that logs individual keystrokes. He captured more than 450 user names and passwords, and used them to access and open bank accounts online.
  • US passports to carry digitally signed images  - US citizens will be issued with "smart" passports carrying a digitally signed photograph by late 2004. Frank Moss, deputy assistant secretary for Passport Services at the US Department of State, says the first digital passports will be issued in the US by 26 October 2004. Moss announced details of the plans at the Smart Card Alliance Government Conference and Expo in Virginia last Tuesday. The new passports will include an embedded microchip that stores a compressed image of its owner's face. These microchips will be designed to prevent tampering and each digital image will be cryptographically signed to guarantee its authenticity.
  • Taipei Computex 2003 expected to be largest ever - The Computex 2003 exhibition, which will be held from September 22-26, is expected to be the largest ever, according to organizers Taipei Computer Association (TCA) and China External Trade Development Council (CETRA)
  • Microsoft Office 2003 Beta Build 5507 -  According to Xbetas.com, Office 2003 Professional Edition build 5507 has been sent to specific beta testers. This update contains minor updates to the VBA engine from the B2TR build.
  • Advanced Networking Pack For Windows XP - The Advanced Networking Pack for Windows XP updates IPv6 and installs the Internet connection firewall for IPv6. By default, no ports are automatically opened in the firewall after the update is installed. Use the Advanced Networking Pack for Windows XP if you have software that requires this functionality or if you want to develop custom programs that use the Windows Peer-to-Peer networking infrastructure.
  • (!)DirectX 9.0b End-User Runtime - In earlier versions of DirectX, there is a security issue in DirectShow. This vulnerablity (Unchecked Buffer in DirectX Could Enable System Compromise) allows an attacker to execute code on a user's system. Microsoft has fixed that issue in DirectX 9.0b. This is a buffer overrun vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could, in the worst case, run code of his or her choice on a user's system. The attacker's code would run with the same privileges as the user: any restrictions on the user's ability to change the system would apply to the attacker's code. There are two ways to obtain that fix, either you download a small download package which fixes the security issue in DirectShow or you can download the whole DirectX 9.0b End-user runtime package (official download link). In both cases, your DirectX version will be updated to 9.0b and build number will be updated to 4.90.00.0902. The only difference is that DirectX 9.0b can not be uninstalled while DirectX 9.0a patch can be uninstalled if you want to restore your previous version of DirectX.
  • MySQL 4.0.14 - MySQL 4.0.14 (download ~ changelog) has been released.
  • AIM v5.2.3281 - AOL Instant Messanger has been updated to version 5.2.3281.
  • VMware 4.0.1 Build 5289 - VMware Workstation (history ~ Win32 ~ Linux.tar ~ Linux.RPM)  is virtual machine software for technical professionals. It lets you run multiple versions of operating systems simultaneously on a single computer.
  • Avant Browser 8.02 Build 007 - Avant Browser (download) is an upgrade to Internet Explorer. Avant Browser is a fast, stable, user-friendly, versatile multi-window browser. Avant Browser is freeware.
  • TVTool 8.0 - TVTool (download) was developed to replace the poor support video card manufacturers had for TV_OUT. TVTool works with most NVIDIA based cards such as TNT, TNT2, TNT2 Ultra, GeForce cards with BT86x (e.g. Viper 550, Erazor 3, Xentor 32, 3D Prophet, etc.). The main problem is the black borders around the picture on the TV screen. This new version adds support for MV TV encoder (internal encoder from NVIDIA), and GF-FX/GF4-MX 420,440,460/GF4Go, GF-FX Go and more.

Avant Browser is great. I recommend anyone to try it over regular IE. Latest versions have been somewhat buggy though. Im still on 7.0.5.2.

I havent tried Avant Browser, but i would also like to suggest Opera over Internet Explorer. http://www.opera.com/ Also, this might be some useful info for some people, i got it sent to me from my local bank. ************************************** ************************************** Dear Client From 30th June Microsoft will no longer be providing an option to download Internet Explorer 6 for the following operating systems: Windows 98 Windows 98 2nd edition Windows NT 4 This change will also apply to Windows Millennium edition, from 31st December 2003. What effect does this have on me? Sometimes Microsoft make changes to their browser versions or operating systems to allow for different bugs' etc. These changes are called Service Packs. If you continue to use the above operating systems using a browser version below Internet Explorer 6 and Microsoft have to make a change, they will only issue a Service Pack for Internet Explorer 6 or above. If you choose to use Windows XP or Windows 2000 and Microsoft have to make a change they will issue a Service Pack for all browser versions including versions below Internet Explorer 6. Our website is at present compatible with the above operating systems and with Internet Explorer 4 or above, however if you continue to use these operating systems with a lower version of Internet Explorer than version 6, you may encounter problems with our website in the future. How do I download or upgrade to Internet Explorer 6? If you would like to upgrade your browser to Internet Explorer 6 please log on to www.microsoft.com/ie Please note that the time taken to upgrade your browser version depends on the speed of your Internet connection.

Zzz...that wasn't funny. I hope you don't think you're funny; because you sound like an idiot.

Avant Browser makes complete usage of IE, so don't expect it to be faster. It's just Internet Explorer with some more bloat added.

ie is pathetic. Opera is way better you don't need to open a NEW fucking window everytime you want to see multiple pages simultaneously. Opera creates subchannels inside the same window. As for "Opera sucks java junk it is". Java is a totally different program than Opera and is used by ie too. so what are you trying to say. That statement makes no sense at all. Your just an idiot.
