POPSMicrosoft Exposes Firefox Users to Drive-By Malware Downloads Here, the affected process is the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) hosting process, PresentationHost.exe. While the vulnerability is in an IE component, there is an attack vector for Firefox users as well. The reason is that .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installs a “Windows Presentation Foundation” plug-in in Firefox. Now, Microsoft’s security folks are actually recommending that Firefox users uninstall the buggy add-on: For Firefox users with .NET Framework 3.5 installed, you may use “Tools”-> “Add-ons” -> “Plugins”, select “Windows Presentation Foundation”, and click “Disable" This introduction of vulnerabilities in a competing browser is a colossal embarrassment for Microsoft. At the time of the surreptitious installs, there were prescient warnings from many in the community about the security implications of introducing new code into browsers without the knowledge " and consent " of end users. http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=4614&tag=nl.e589

POPSSponsored search results lead to malware If you're not sure, verify the URL. Microsoft and Google have large payrolls, but the search giants don't employ literal armies to review ad submissions. If you're at all suspicious of an ad's legitimacy, check the URL via a service such as hpHosts, which tracks domain names that researchers have reported as malicious. Help vendors by reporting malicious advertisers. To report bogus ads on Google, e-mail security at google.com. This is likely to be more effective than reporting the site via the search giant's online form. If you discover malware purveyors advertising in Bing's results, e-mail secure at microsoft.com. Yahoo, however, offers only a Security Phishing Report Form.

POPS6 Reasons Why Mozilla Firefox Is Safe Compared To Internet Explorer
While statistics put Internet Explorer clearly ahead as the most widely used web browser, it’s clear to many people that it is not due to the excellent programming. the practice of ‘bundling’ the infamous browser with the every copy of the operating system represents the primary reason behind its crushing dominance. ~~~ 4. Conscious users can install NoScript, an add-on that takes care of vulnerabilities that are not yet patched, either in Firefox or other plug-ins such as Java, JavaScript and Adobe’s Flash. It achieves this goal by allowing the user to selectively enable interactive objects that the user decides to trust, automatically blocking the rest. 5. Security through obscurity; malicious programmers will always target the browser with the largest user base, especially if that user base is less tech savvy. 6. Firefox uses a service provided by Google that notifies the user before entering a potentially malicious web site. These websites ask for your financial data und

POPSThe Top Antivirus and Spyware Removals to Avoid Like the Plague Eventually getting hit by a nasty computer virus, trojan or severe Adware infection is bound to happen. These problems strike both experienced as well as novice computer users, and the only indication that something is wrong might be that a strange ad window keeps automatically popping up whenever you’re browsing the Internet or your computer slows down to an annoying crawl. Many people who are faced with these issues automatically turn to the Internet for either free or paid antivirus software.

However, since so many people turn to the Internet when such a tragedy strikes, I wanted to take a moment to list some of the fake antivirus and spyware removals that you should stay away from or you’ll find your computer infected even worse.~~~~~~~~~ more at the site

POPSHow Does Spyware, Malware or Crapware Get on My Computer? Malware, spyware, and other junk software makes it onto your computer for a number of reasons: * You installed something you really shouldn’t have, from an untrustworthy source. Often these include screensavers, toolbars, or torrents that you didn’t scan for viruses. * You didn’t pay attention when installing a “reputable” application that bundles “optional” crapware. * You’ve already managed to get yourself infected, and the malware installs even more malware. * You aren’t using a quality Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware application. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More info at the source. Excellent article if you are interested in this kind of thing.

POPSThis company may harm your Internet - Google intercepts this link
Mid sized article at source. It is well worth a read as it offers an insight into Google and its (mal)practices. "Google accidentally labeled every single link as "harmful" for nearly an hour" When and how did a private manage get such absolute control over our internet? Google is one of the biggest threats to our Freedom Of Speech and Freedom of Choice online. All under the pretense of protecting peoples computers... What a joke, the fact that a website may or may not contain malware will not stop me from wanting to use such a site. After all, why else would you use Anti-Malware if not to protect from such things? It is Glaringly obvious that the real buisness of this "service" is to restrict the internet to those sites that only Google approves of. Please if you value your internet, your free speech and freedom of choice then BOYCOTT GOOGLE on a mass scale by removing all programs and search engines and toolbars that relate to it.

POPSThe Next Tech Frontier: Hacking Your Head
more: If you use the internet you know how much damage someone can do to you with just an image, and that's just visual meme injection - mental malware a whole new world of sabotage. Viruses propagate because of exploits in existing system - every copy of a program by definition suffers the same flaws, so a single exploit can spread through the entire network. Every mind is different, however, with even the most basic functions slightly differently mapped in every head so you don't have the same rapid-infection risk - but you do have a far more chance of malicious code interacting in unexpected ways and simply breaking part of your soul while it's in there, with no way to restore it. The new neologism is "neurosecurity", an excellent addition to the language (which has only been used in infinity-billion sci-fi stories already). If nothing else, you should be terrified of a cerebral SirCam - imagine a virus pulling a random thought from your head and telling everyone you know.

POPS Attack code posted for unpatched Firefox 3.5 flaw July 14th, 2009 Mozilla’s security response team is scrambling to respond to the release of exploit code A zero day exploit (Firefox 3.5 Heap Spray Vulnerability) affecting Mozilla’s latest Firefox release has been published in the wild. Through an error in the processing of JavaScript code in ‘font tags’ malicious attackers could achieve arbitrary code execution and install malware on the affected hosts. There’s no indication of its use on a global scale just yet, however due to the fact that the PoC is now public, it shouldn’t take long before cybercriminals embed it within the diverse exploits set of their web malware exploitation kits, allowing it to scale.
