A top Microsoft engineer on Friday set out a weekend challenge to the Windows Vista development team: Find and fix a bug in the current code and earn US$100.
Microsoft has spent billions of dollars in recent years to secure its software. Now it's payback time.
During 2007, Apple has patched more than ten times the number of critical vulnerabilities in Mac OS X compared to the number patched in Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft's June Patch Tuesday release included a critical fix affecting all Windows Vista and XP systems, which could allow attackers to wirelessly steal confidential information from laptops by exploiting a flaw in the Bluetooth stack.
An IBM X-Force security researcher has promised to exploit massive holes in Windows Vista's defences at the upcoming Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas.
OS X security scares, a Linux worm and Microsoft bragging about security: so why is the world a safer place?
Google stitched up some gaping holes in its desktop search software recently but the nature of the tool's design means that the contents of users' hard drives will remain under constant threat of exposure.
Windows Defender for Vista has failed miserably when it comes to protecting users of Microsoft's latest operating system from a very basic attack.
After skipping Patch Tuesday last month, administrators will have the joy of a double patch this month because Microsoft is rushing out a fix for its Windows cursor vulnerability.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
Some of Microsoft's efforts to make Windows Vista its most stable and secure operating system ever could cause instability and new security flaws, according to a Symantec report.
If you aren't impressed by the OS update's flash new features, consider getting Vista for its tougher defences, Windows chief Jim Allchin says.
Can Microsoft turn security from a liability to an asset?
In 2007 leading industry watchers speculated on the trends affecting the market, and while some proved right, others proved otherwise. Discovers how expert predictions fared on Vista, low-cost laptops and outsourcing.
Microsoft released several patches for Windows Vista on Tuesday, including one designed to put the iPod and the new operating system back on speaking terms.
At AU$3,750, this is a "premium" product, but what you get for your money is a flexible and road-worthy tablet -- but it does require extra peripherals to perform optimally.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
