Winapp2.ini Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Microsoft--a deep-pocket company that has also used the courts in its battles against fake antivirus or "scareware" ads, malvertizing, spam, and phishing via IM, and e-mail spam--was able to convince the judge to order VeriSign to redirect traffic trying to reach the Waledac domains to Microsoft instead, Boscovich said. This enabled Microsoft to see the IP addresses of infected computers so it can work with Internet service providers and computer emergency response teams in different countries to alert the computer owners to the problem, he said. That is brilliant! winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishi Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think software companies should be a little more careful when dealing with stuff related to Microsoft and security because Microsoft is getting more persistent on this sort of stuff recently. And yeah, I think Microsoft has their own obligation to improve security. I want to expect more from them. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

Makes me respect Microsoft and even lawyers more. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
