17.8.2008Safely Remove Hardware fix for Windows Vista
When you click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area on a Windows Vista based computer, and then you click Safely remove
Device_name, the device may not be removed as expected. Additionally, you do not receive a message that verifies whether the device was safely
removed.
Note This problem occurs only when you left-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area and then click Safely
remove Device_name.
This problem occurs because of a timing issue in which allocated memory may be released while the system is removing
the selected device. When this behavior occurs, the system can no longer find the information about the selected device. Therefore, the device is not
removed.

30.05.2008Google opens click-fraud Web site
Google has unveiled a Web site
"resource center" focused on
the thorny issue of click
fraud, which many consider a
potential threat to the
company's main source of
revenue: Pay-per-click
advertising.
Google developed the new
Ad
Traffic Quality Resource
Center primarily to give
its advertisers a single place
to find Google's information
about click fraud, said Shuman
Ghosemajumder, business
product manager for trust and
safety at Google, on
Friday.
In the pay-per-click
format, advertisers pay every
time someone clicks on their
ads, which are linked to a Web
page. Click fraud happens when
companies click on
competitors' ads to drive up
their ad spending. Another
common click-fraud practice is
for Web publishers to click on
their sites' ads to increase
their commissions. ..

18.08.2007Bots Driving Click Fraud
Bot nets are driving up click

company.
"This is a
growing problem for the
industry and one that's
getting worse and not
better," said Tom Cuthbert,
president and CEO of Click
Forensics, Inc.
The
company's findings are based
on data from its Click Fraud
Network, which attempts to
identify and track
pay-per-click advertising
fraud across over 4,000 online
advertisers and ad agencies.
Click Forensics
claims that the overall
industry average click fraud
rate during the second quarter
of the year was 15.8%, up from
14.8% in the previous quarter
and from 14.1% during the
second quarter of 2006.
Traffic from bot nets --
coordinated groups of
computers that have been
subverted by an attacker --
doubled from Q1 to Q2 this

12.05.2006Sony charges $50 to remove laptop bloatware; Retracts Later
Sony is
offering to remove
some of the trial software it crams onto the hard disks of new laptops, for a fee. Buyers of the configure-to-order versions of its Vaio TZ2000 and
Vaio TZ2500 laptops can opt to have Sony remove the some of its own applications, in addition to trial software and games.
The "Fresh
Start" option, billed as a software optimization, costs $49.99, and is only available to customers choosing to pay an additional $100 to
upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista Business from the Windows Vista Home Premium edition offered as standard.
Blogs erupted
with outrage at the planned charge, with Engadget opening a headline with "
Sony Hates You."
Responding to a tidal wave of outrage, Sony has reversed a plan to charge $50 to remove all the pre-installed applications — often
derided as "bloatware" or "craplets" — from its high-end TZ-series notebooks. "
There will be no charge for Fresh Start" said the company
spokesman.

22.03.2008Yahoo appoints click fraud tsar
Yahoo has promoted one of its

tsar at the second largest web

For seven years, Reggie
Davis helped the web search
company defend itself against
lawsuits by advertisers who
claimed they were overcharged
for pay-per-click ads that
resulted from click fraud.
Click fraud occurs when clicks
are generated by people paid
to click ads over and over or
by automated software
programs, usually for the
purpose of boosting revenue
for the website the ads appear
on.
Now, Davis is

quality, responsible for
