RSSMicrosoft Preps 7 Security Bulletins
By Nate Mook | Published May 3, 2007, 6:31 PM
Microsoft on Tuesday will issue seven security bulletins that correct vulnerabilities in products ranging from Windows to Office and Exchange Server to BizTalk. One of these fixes will be for a highly-publicized DNS flaw affecting Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003.
Specifically, two bulletins will affect Windows, with at least one rated critical. Three will affect Office, also with at least one rated critical. One critical bulletin each will be released for Exchange Server and Microsoft CAPICOM and BizTalk. In addition, six high-priority non-security updates will be issued through Microsoft Update. Per its standard practices, Microsoft does not disclose specifics of upcoming patches before they are released.
Maybe due to the introduction of the built-in remote access in Windows 2000, XP etc. you can't install any of these OS without unplugging your computer from the Internet and installing before plugging in an updated firewall and an updated antivirus. Without them your computer is inmediately contaminated and sacked, even if you don't enter into the Internet. This had never happened before. BTW even now I keep running Windows 98 SE since 1999 because I have programs which only run with this OS (IMHO the OS is only an instrument to run my programs and never the opposite). Having the system loaded in three logical units to use alternatively one or the other in case of trouble I never felt any problem of viruses, security or anything similar. I wonder if they are now really doing a better job than then.
