  1. More Info:

    Comments made by vinzenz.ewido - ewido rep - @ Wilders :

    Keep cool. For our customers nothing will change. ewido anti-malware will still exist.
    This means the company ewido network was accquired by Grisoft, not only our technology.

    So we're now part of Grisoft, but the product ewido anti-malware will still exist and the development will be continued.

  2. How to Post Updates

    Our Updates forum, unlike some others, is open to all members who are welcome to post updates.

    The guidelines and practices followed by the Update Experts exist for good reasons: the safety and security of the members and the board, as a service to members who need and use security programs and softwares, as an enhancement to the life of the board and the support the board provides to our members and the general public.

    When posting an update please collect and post the information issued by the vendor/author(s) with a link to the vendor(s) web page - update page, changelog page or download page. Please add any relevant information that the vendor has issued about that update which will be beneficial to the readers. (Please do not link to third party sites.)

    Topic Titles:

    Program Version Upgrade:

    Program Name & Version; ie: Ad-aware SE 1.70 released!

    Detections Update:

    Program name & Detections File #; ie: MS Antispyware Defs. #5719; Ad-aware SE1R101, etc.

    -or where no detections file # -

    - Program name & date - a-squared(a2) - 04/10/2006

    (Date format= mm/dd/yyyy)

    Update Post:

    Program Version Upgrade:

    Program name, Version #, Changelog and link to vendor download page, plus any other information issued about the upgrade.

    Detections Update:

    Information issued and link to that vendor page.

    (A good reference and wealth of information for guidance exists right here in the many updates previously posted.)

    If some important information is omitted or helpful, it will probably be added by one of the staff updaters.

    Standard Rules/Practices:

    1) No direct download links. (If absolutely necessary ie: MVPS Hosts - use Block Quotes).

    2) No leaks - if not posted on a vendor(s)site, news, etc. it is not offically released.

    3) Link to the vendor(s) sites - please do not link to other forums or third-party sites.

    3) Spammers, warez: -0- tolerance; fortunately, no problems here so far.

    4) Beta, Release Candidate, Development Release must have appropriate warning to the user.

    Thanks for taking time to review these guidelines and enjoy yourselves here! :D

  4. Terrorist - take a look at FastStone Image Viewer - been following it and using it since the early days and

    it's great and very popular - http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm.

    on 512 Ram, I updated to SP2 and my system is very slow - double boot time - and ram is running at 50% despite having all unnecessary services & startups disabled - can't upgrade the hardware right now so I'm thinking of removing SP2.

  8. Security Advisory: Outpost not blocking traffic on Windows shutdown

    "It has been discovered that during Windows shutdown, Outpost does not block traffic allowing unsolicited incoming traffic to access systems for a short period of time. This depends on system configuration but testing has shown this to be in the region of 3-10 seconds (though a 20-second window was encountered in a test with Outpost 2.7). While this issue was discovered with Outpost 3.0, all earlier versions of Outpost should be assumed to be affected also."

    Note; This may also occur during startup:

  11. 180's Newest Installation Practices

    80's Newest Installation Practices

    Ben Edelman

    January 9, 2006

    I've previously covered a variety of misleading and/or nonconsensual installations by 180solutions. I've recorded numerous installations through exploits - without any user consent at all. I've found installations in poorly-disclosed bundles -- for example, disclosing 180's inclusion, but only if users happen to scroll to page 16 of a 54-page license. I've even documented deceptive installations at kids sites, where 180 installs without showing or mentioning a license agreement.

    180 has cleaned up some of these practices, but the core deception remains. 180 still installs its software in circumstances where reasonable users wouldn't expect to receive such software -- including web sites that substantially cater to kids. And users still aren't fairly told what they're slated to receive. 180 says that it shows "advertising," but no on-screen text warns users that these ads appear in much-hated pop-ups.

    180 systematically downplays the privacy consequences of installing its software -- prominently telling users what the software won't do, but failing to disclose what the software does track and transmit. All told, users may have to press a button before 180 installs on their computer, but users can't reasonably be claimed to understand what they're purportedly accepting.
