WinPatrol 12.2.2007.0

Anti Spyware & Adware

WinPatrol with Scotty the Windows Watch Dog will sniff out worms, adware, spyware, cookies, Trojan horses, and other nasty programs that may attack your computer. This program puts you back in control of your computer with no need for constant updates. WinPatrol´s goal is to help you better understand what programs are running on your computer and to alert you to any new programs added without your permission. Scotty lets you confirm any new programs or add-ons set up to run on your computer.

Unlike traditional security programs, WinPatrol doesn´t scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. Instead using a heuristic approach, a snapshot is taken of your critical system resources and WinPatrol alerts you to any changes that occur without your knowledge. You´ll be warned immediately by Scotty and will be removing dangerous new threats while others wait to hear about them on the news. WinPatrol 8.1 includes enhanced reports and checks for a number of new Internet Explorer helpers and a fix to the disappearing task bar icon quirk in Windows XP.

Microsoft looks forward on security

Two aspects of the "new" Microsoft were on display in San Francisco on Tuesday at the computer security industry's biggest annual gathering, the RSA conference.

One came in the person of Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer. A 15-year Microsoft veteran with a background in supercomputing, Mundie's has long had an influential voice in Microsoft core strategic thinking. In the past, though, he has stayed pretty much in the background. At RSA, there he was sitting alongside Bill Gates, chatting broadly about the company's longer-range vision for security. Tellingly, he talked about how he and Gates had between them come up with the five-year-old "Trustworthy Computing" initiative, which marked a watershed in the company's thinking. As Microsoft prepares for Life after Gates, the history books are being rewritten to shift attention to a broader group of executives.

The other aspect was the drum-beat insistence on interoperability that creeps into just about every major presentation by a Microsoft executive these days. Gently, Mundie owned up to Microsoft's fallibility in this department. "We didn't do well in the past," he said, since for system-wide issues like security, effective interoperability is vital.

In future, according to Mundie, Microsoft will model its approach to interoperability on the chip industry. Chips are tightly integrated pieces of technology that have clear interfaces that other companies can "plug" their own technology into. So it will be with software: Microsoft is getting "more hardcore" about tight integration between the proprietary elements in its software, Mundie said. But it will also provide clear interfaces that other security companies can link to. As the company moves beyond its narrow vision of a world where all software is Microsoft, it is as clear a statement of intent as we've yet heard.

Office 2007 standards push on hold for now

Winning recognition for the "Open XML" formats in the new Office 2007 as international standards is a vital step for Microsoft. Without it, governments around the world will be less likely to adopt the new formats (and the Microsoft software in which they are embedded.)

So it is at the least inconvenient for Redmond, and potentially more worrying, that the International Standards Organisation has just added another three months to its review of the matter, following representations from the UK (and possibly other countries.) The ISO already recognises the rival Open Document Format, which has been gaining ground, so matching that is a must for Microsoft. How damaging could this be? Impossible to tell until more details of potential objections become clear, but being forced to return to the drawing board at this stage could cause Microsoft real problems.

Meanwhile, Texas has become the latest US state to join the rush to "open" document formats
