  • Average PC Plagued With 28 Pieces Of Spyware - The average computer is crammed with nearly 28 pieces of spyware, according to a report released Thursday by Atlanta-based ISP EarthLink and WebRoot Software, a message privacy and protection provider. Over the three-month period from Jan. 1, 2004 to March 31, EarthLink's and WebRoot's spyware and adware detection software sniffed through over a million systems and found more than 29 million instances of spyware.
  • Cisco fixes latest WLAN flaw - Earlier this week, the networking company acknowledged a previously discovered vulnerability in its Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) that makes it easier for hackers to launch dictionary attacks to guess common passwords used to access wireless LANs. The company is now recommending that customers use a new security protocol called EAP-FAST (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) , which it said helps reduce this threat.
  • WinSCP Denial of Service - WinSCP is "an open source SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure CoPy) client for Windows using SSH (Secure SHell). Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer". A malicious attacker can send an email containing a link that will cause WinSCP to crash.
  • Microsoft DCOM RPC Race Condition - eEye Digital Security has discovered a critical remote vulnerability in the way Microsoft Windows handles DCOM RPC requests. This vulnerability is a separate issue from vulnerabilities described in Microsoft Security Bulletins MS03-026 and MS03-039.
    Windows Local Security Authority Service Remote Buffer Overflow - eEye Digital Security has discovered a remote buffer overflow in the Windows LSA (Local Security Authority) Service (LSASRV.DLL). An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with system-level privileges on Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines. The susceptible LSA functionality is accessible via the LSARPC named pipe over TCP ports 139 and 445.
  • New mysql packages fix insecure temporary file creation - Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in mysql, a common database system. Two scripts contained in the package don't create temporary files in a secure fashion. This could allow a local attacker to overwrite files with the privileges of the user invoking the MySQL server, which is often the root user. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.23.49-8.6.
  • Off-topic: Microsoft plans to invest 'tens of millions' of dollars in Chinese software - Microsoft Corp plans to invest "tens of millions" of US dollars in developing  China's fledgling software industry, a leading executive at the American software giant said. In related news, Chipmaker AMD said on Thursday that it will invest up to $100 million to expand its testing and manufacturing facilities in China.
  • Off-topic: Storage limits found on brain's visual hard drive - Scientists have discovered the region of the brain responsible for the old adage, "out of sight, out of mind." The amount of information we can remember from a visual scene is extremely limited and the source of that limit may lie in the posterior parietal cortex, a region of the brain involved in visual short-term memory, researchers say. "Visual short-term memory is a key component of many perceptual and cognitive functions and is supported by a broad neural network, but it has a very limited storage capacity."
  • Off-topic: Big Bang glow hints at funnel-shaped Universe - In the model, technically called a Picard topology, the Universe curves in a strange way. One end is infinitely long, but so narrow that it has a finite volume. At the other end, the horn flares out, but not for ever - if you could fly towards the flared end in a spaceship, at some point you would find yourself flying back in on the other side of the horn (see diagram).
  • MP3 Players Get An Anti-Theft Protection Feature - Mobile devices like MP3 music players are very attractive to thieves and are also commonly lost and stolen items. However, PoGo! MP3 players are protected against theft and loss by SmartProtec premium, which is a protection service that acts as a security feature of the device.
  • Kingston intros 1GB Compact Flash card - Kingston said it has released a 1GB member of its Elite Pro family in the Compact Flash format.
    The format is probably most suitable for people using digital photography, and Kingston said it will transfer data at a write speed of 5.2MB/second and a read speed of 6.1MB/second.

  • Powercolor Radeon 9800XT review - DukGamers take a look at Powercolor’s Radeon 9800XT graphics card which is the current high end model. The 9800XT is basically Radeon 9800 Pro with faster core and memory clocks and 256MB of memory, so lets see how this card will perform in some of the latest games and demos.
  • Plextor 8x DVD Burner review - When comparing it to all our standard DVD reading drives (lite-on, LG, MSI, NEC) it is quieter by far. If you have Set Top DVD drives which use DVD+R media, I would highly recommend this unit (money permitting). If you are one of the unlucky few like me with all DVD-R Set Top DVD players but wish to have the latest and greatest you might want to look at the new Plextor 12x burners which will be shipping in May... Another option would be to take your luck with a Sony or Lite-On 8x drive...
  • 96kb first person shooter - For those of you old-timers who spent days and nights trying to get your code fit into 64Kb, here's the first beta of the .produkkt's next FPS: .kkrieger (96kb).
  • GIMP 2.01 - The GIMP (GNU/Image Manipulation Program) is a very nice graphics manipulation application that works on many operating systems.
  • PHP 4.3.6 Final - The PHP Development Team is proud to announce the release of PHP 4.3.6 (download). This is is a bug fix release whose primary goal is to address two bugs which may result in crashes in PHP builds with thread-safety enabled. All users of PHP in a threaded environment (Windows) are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release.
  • IrfanView 3.90 - IrfanView (download) is a very fast freeware (for non-commercial use) 32-Bit graphic viewer for Windoze 9x/ME, WinNT, Win2000 and Windows XP.
  • [!] Total Commander 6.03 -  A new version of Total Commnader (download) is available for download. This minor update corrects some problems (mainly with the new functions introduced with Total Commander 6.0), corrects an incompatibility between the big file copy mode (in Configuration - Options - Copy/Delete) and certain Adaptec RAID5 controllers which can cause data corruption.

Every Windows computer is guaranteed to have two items of Spyware -- Windows Activation, and Windows Update. The amount of Adware is countless... every Microsoft product is full of "pro-microsoft" advertising and (tm) this and (tm) that. =D That is why Windows is the easiest Operating System to use, and the most fun! =D
