February 16 Windows anti-spyware to come free of chargeMicrosoft said on Tuesday that it will provide customers with its new anti-spyware software for free. The pledge, made by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates during his keynote speech kicking off the RSA Conference 2005 here, comes after the company had been testing its AntiSpyware application--technology it acquired with its purchase of security software maker Giant Software. February 11 Getting Multiple Virtual PCs to Work Togethervia simon.says: I'm a big fan of using multple Microsoft Virtual PC images, especially for demos and development. My current machine has a second hard disk that is dedicated to images that I use for such work. One of the problems I've run into in the past is getting multiple Virtual PC instances to talk nicely together over a network - regardless of whether the host machine is connected or not. On frequent occasions I've turned up to do demos only to find out that Virtual PC #1 cannot see Virtual PC #2 on the network - even though they are on the same machine! This week I've been putting together a demo that involves 4 Virtual PCs talking to each other simultaneously (showing interop between different vendors). I put in some time working out a foolproof way to get each Virtual PC to talk to each other, and also be able to use the network adapter of the host machine. Here's how I nailed it: 1. Shutdown all of the Virtual PCs that you want to connect together (they must be turned off - suspend state is not good enough). 2. In the Virtual PC console, select one of the Virtual PCs and select "Settings" 3. In the Setting window, go down to "Networking" 4. Under the "Number of network adapters", select "2" from the combo box. 5. Set the first adapter to the network interface of your machine (e.g. Intel/PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection). 6. Set the second adapter to "Local only" 7. Start the Virtual PC - log in and make sure that two network adapters have been recognized. 8. Assign the first network adapter (Local Area Connection) to DHCP - or whatever settings you use on the network connected to your host machine. 9. Set the second network adapter (Local Area Connection 2) to a static, private class C IP address (e.g. 192.168.200.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). Set the default gateway to 192.168.200.254. Don't worry about DNS settings. 10. Repeat Steps 2 - 9 for all your Virtual PCs - make sure you give each Virtual PC a unique IP address in step 9, but within the range of your subnet (e.g. 192.168.200.2, 192.168.200.3 etc. for my example). 11. On each Virtual PC edit the hosts file (found in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc directory). Add the name of all the other Virtual PCs, together with their IP address. 12. Make sure that the Internet Firewall on adapter #2 is set correctly for the type of applications that you want to work between the Virtual PCs. That's it! - from any Virtual PC you will now be able to both access any other Virtual PC using the hostname and/or IP address you allocated on the second network card. You should also be able to access the outside world using the first network adapter. http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2005/02/10/370861.aspx February 10 First Trojan to attack Microsoft Anti-Spyware product is detected
The first piece of malware to attack Microsoft's new anti-spyware product, currently still in beta, has been detected. The BankAsh-A Trojan horse is designed to steal online banking passwords from unsuspecting Windows users. The Trojan horse also disables Microsoft AntiSpyware, currently available only as a beta download from Microsoft's website, attempting to suppress warning messages that Microsoft AntiSpyware may display, and deleting all files within the program's folder. Besides disabling Microsoft's anti-spyware product, the Trojan horse also targets users of UK online banks such as Barclays, Cahoot, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Nationwide, NatWest, and Smile. "This appears to be the first attempt yet by any piece of malware to disable Microsoft AntiSpyware, but it may be the first of many such future attacks," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "As Microsoft's product creeps out of beta, and is properly released and increasingly adopted by the home user market, we can expect to see more and more attempts by Trojan horses, viruses and worms to try and undermine its effectiveness." Note: The British banking industry has published information about how online bank users can help stay safe online at www.banksafeonline.org.uk. January 27 MS mulls charging for anti-spyware appBy John Leyden Published Thursday 27th January 2005 11:30 GMT Microsoft is leaving its options open on charging for full versions of anti-spyware and virus disinfection tools. Speaking in London yesterday, Detlef Eckert, chief security adviser for Microsoft EMEA, revealed there will be a second beta of Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware application. However, the company remains unsure how the product will evolve from then on. "It could evolve into a consumer or enterprise product. There could be a basic and plus version," he said. The first beta of Windows AntiSpyware is free of charge, as is recently-released Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool. Will users be prepared to pay extra for tools from Microsoft to clean up the malware mess that is almost the exclusive preserve of the Windows desktop? Eckert thinks that they might - although he emphasised that Microsoft has made no firm decision. "Users value investment and there is a willingness to pay for it," he said.
