   Review - Microsoft IntelliType Pro (32-bit)

   5.40.633.0 (Oct 23, 2005)

   These ARE official.
   See: http://www.microsoft.com...sion=IntelliPoint%205.4
   
   Furthermore, they work just the same as the 5.2 and 5.3 drivers. Supposedly they still don't support 64-bit yet. Truly is a shame.
   
   Nevertheless, these ARE official.

   Review - Microsoft Windows Defender (32-bit)

   1.0.613 Beta (Jun 24, 2005)

   Works like a charm most of the time, except one bug and fix I found...
   
   BUG (and fix):
   To anyone getting the error where you click "Real-time Protection" and it says 18 agents running or 100 checkpoints active, but in reality doesn't show them properly or shows them disabled.... This is a bug with the Visual Basic dll's. Apparently, this program requires the latest/greatest VB6 runtime, but the installer doesn't check/install it.
   
   So, the solution is to first close Microsoft Antispyware, then download and install Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 Run-Time Redistributable Pack from Microsoft... available by searching for "vbrun60sp6.exe" or by visiting --- HERE (Download at Microsoft) --- Then, when you power up Antispyware, it should show 59 checkpoints all on duty, and you should be able to actually SEE them, visible and enabled.
   
   Good luck, and enjoy

5. Comment - Microsoft Cancels Patch Tuesday

   1.0.613 Beta (Sep 10, 2005 - 12:52 PM)

   I honestly believe you all are wrong. The email I received said that MS is still releasing an updated Malicious Software Removal Tool and a non-security update this month, and says nothing about cancelling the monthly process. The only thing that was cancelled was a single security patch (the ONLY security patch) for September. A non-security patch is still in the works, and the monthly cycle will not be cancelled. Read the email below - am I wrong?
   
   ********************************************************************
   Title: REVISED: September 2005 Microsoft Security Response Center
   Bulletin Notification
   Issued: September 9, 2005
   ********************************************************************
   
   Summary
   =======
   Microsoft will not issue any new security updates on 13 September
   2005 as part of the September monthly bulletin release cycle. Based on customer feedback, Microsoft instituted a monthly security update release process on the second Tuesday of each month to provide customers with security guidance and updates on a predictable and manageable schedule. This update release process involves a significant testing focus to help ensure customers will receive updates that are of a high quality and Microsoft will not release an update until it meets those standards. Occasionally, the testing process and our strict focus on quality can result in a month where no security updates are released, as is the case for 13 September 2005.
   
   In addition, to help customers prioritize monthly security updates with any non-security updates released on Microsoft Update, Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services and Software Update Services on the same day as the monthly security bulletins, we also provide:
   
   - Information about the release of updated versions of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.
   - Information about the release of NON-SECURITY, High Priority updates on Microsoft Update (MU), Windows Update (WU), Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Software Update Services (SUS).
   Note that this information will pertain ONLY to updates on Windows Update and only about High Priority, non-security updates being released on the same day as security updates. Information will NOT be provided about Non-security updates released on other days.
   
   On 13 September 2005 Microsoft is planning to release:
   
   Security Updates
   
   - No new security updates on 13 September as part of the September monthly bulletin release cycle. This represents a change in the information found in the Advance Notification on Thursday, September 8, 2005. Late in the testing process, Microsoft encountered a quality issue that necessitated the update to go through additional testing and development before it is released. Microsoft is committed to only releasing high quality updates that fix the
   issue(s) in question, and therefore we feel it is in the best interest of our customers to not release this update until it undergoes further testing.
   
   Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
   
   - Microsoft will release an updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services and the Download Center.
   Note that this tool will NOT be distributed using Software Update Services (SUS).
   
   Non-security High Priority updates on MU, WU, WSUS and SUS
   - Microsoft will release one NON-SECURITY High-Priority Updates for Windows on Microsoft Update (MU), Windows Update (WU), Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Software Update Services (SUS).

   Scarily true. Research before you purchase this nonexistant product.
