Hi

As Einstein has mentioned: We already informed about RC4. Now as Microsoft comes up with it, this time they already offer a solution to that problem. In the following link you will find an Update (2868725) to disabling RC4 for all affected OS from Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2868725

And here some more infos in case you need it: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2868725

And here a link for IT pros or more interested members in IT about other security tools and downloads from Microsoft: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/cc297183

The United States government's hunger for information on Google users is continuing to rise.

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/14/tech/web/google-transparency-report-2013/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

India, Germany and France rounded out the top four, each making between 2,000 and 3,000 requests for user information.

@Einstein

Thanks to mention again the problem with still using Windows XP. It can not be mentioned enough times until people recognize that they have to get a more secure system. Now those who really are interested to do so should even think to start using a Linux system. As many not have installed the OS by them selfs, this time they tell the IT pro to install Linux to have a future OS which is more safe compare to any Windows system.

Now to an other problem: Cookieless cookies

What the heck is that? Read in that link and do the test and you will see what is meant. http://lucb1e.com/rp/cookielesscookies/

Some basic solutions to that is using following add ons in Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/ plus this one: https://www.dephormation.org.uk/index.php?page=81

An other solution is using Linux or if you run Avast you use the safe zone when doing banking or when surfing the net. If you know more solutions, just post them.

Want to add something here for Linux. in past NSA has asked Linux Torvalds to inject some zero day vulnerabilities into linux kernel, which then can be used to get access into any computer running on linux kernel(which is in billions around the globe).
but he denied. most IT experts think that nsa has asked Microsoft to do the same and they have did it.

my guess is that this is the main reason why Chinese govt ban use of Microsoft OS in all of their departments and asked ubuntu to make an special customized Ubuntu distribution for them.

International Space Station switches from Windows to Linux, for improved reliability

The United Space Alliance, which manages the computers aboard the International Space Station in association with NASA, has announced that the Windows XP computers aboard the ISS have been switched to Linux. “We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an operating system that was stable and reliable.”

That should say enough about the given situation and the trust even those people have today into Microsoft XP OS.

i started off using Ubuntu and then turned towards Linux puppy.

linux systems are much better and safer than any other OS.

just that i still have to depend on MS OS for running my trading software.

And here it comes: We have the final official prove that even people which have done nothing are at any time watched and spy ed on from guess who?

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/20/us-uk-secret-deal-surveillance-personal-data

So if they do it, I guess all others are doing it too. But of course non of those clubs and any of there governments knows of course anything about it. What, we, no we never did that. No, no you can believe us :lol: :rofl:
