  • Why I dumped IE

    One of CNET's top editors explains why he's switched to Firefox.

  • Why the SirCam worm is only the beginning for new viruses.

    While the media was preoccupied with Code Red last weekend, a second major worm was making the rounds. SirCam didn't target the White House, nor did it capitalise on Microsoft's vulnerabilities, nor did it specifically target Outlook.

    The MSBlast worm that wreaked havoc last week signals a sea change in the virus world. E-mail viruses are on their way out and so are antivirus solutions as we know them today.

  • Bigger, badder Code Red worms being built

    As I write this, there are two new fast-spreading Internet worms for Windows users: Apost does the now-familiar "email itself to everyone" thing we've come to expect from Windows worms and viruses, except this worm sends multiple copies of itself.

  • Microsoft's security chief gets serious

    Scott Charney's carreer has taken him from prosecutor in Bronx County to vice chairman of the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board. Now he's literally looking for trouble as Microsoft's chief security strategist.
