eTrust Antivirus Groupware Options User Guide

Using an electronic messaging system is a common way for today’s corporations to communicate. Quite often, the messaging system becomes an essential method for sharing information and documents, both within and outside of the enterprise. Unfortunately, these same systems can have gaps in security that enable infections to rapidly spread through an organization—posing risks to both data and productivity.

According to an International Computer Security Association (ICSA®) survey, email attachments are the most common sources of infections. Macro viruses, worms, and other malicious code can come in through email to slow down and debilitate your system. For example, infectors such as the Winword Concept macro virus and the Melissa virus have become among the fastest spreading viruses in history. According to the ICSA, the well-known LoveLetter virus is a mass-mailer, and therefore has the potential to spread quickly. The virus arrives as a VBS file attached to an email message.

Iraqi Militants Breach $45 Million Drone Content Stream Using SkyGrabber

This has to be the best article that I have gotten to write yet, and simply because it comes as proof once again that hyper-expensive technology is absolutely no match for the basic primordial Windows applications. Well, we all know that hackers use to breach high security servers and such, with just the use of simple software like telnet and other, but I don’t think you can even imagine the hilarity of what is to follow.

I can’t seem to find the right words, but “the humanity” can be suitable enough, for the fact that the Iraqi militants managed to breach the video streaming feeds of the Predator surveillance drones using nothing more than a simple Windows application. Those are not even hackers, and the software used was just a simple data-leeching utility that, combined with a PC and a satellite dish, needs just a few parameters, like Packet IDs and transponder codes (that you can easily scan for), for tapping into downstream data feeds, and basically record whatever data is being transmitted to other users on a satellite network.

AVG 8.0 Internet Security Network Edition User Manual

AVG Network edition scheme

Please review the simplified scheme of AVG Network Editions showing the basic connection and interaction of remote administration components in the default and most common configuration:

  1. AVG DataCenter
    consists of a database, and AVG Admin Server. The AVG Admin Server performs the role of a mediator between the AVG DataCenter and AVG stations. The AVG Admin Console uses the AVG Admin Server to approach the AVG DataCenter database, and to centrally define stations’ settings and system parameters. AVG stations approach the AVG Admin Server to read the setup parameters; and to save their currently defined setting and scan results into the AVG DataCenter.
    AVG Admin Server also works as a local update source. If you deploy UpdateProxy role to multiple servers, you can then use them for updating stations and keep the bandwidth/load in balance.
