Patch Up Your System's Security Holes with xpy


Don't Tweak Out

It's not just another tweaking program that'll spice up your system, xpy is the latest little ditty that'll close some of those security holes that Windows XP seems to leave. Another needle in the haystack has been found with xpy 0.9.2. I've been using a lot of separate system modifiers recently and I've finally gotten my hands on xpy, a program that's still in active development. xpy is not your typical tweaking program, it chooses to focus on your system's natural deficiencies and works to correct the gaping security problems you might face. Let's see what all the hype's about.

Microsoft called the patch important but not critical, and said users should install it as soon as possible. It was one of several patches released yesterday (see "Microsoft issues seven security patches").

Microsoft Plans Six Security Updates, Two For Windows Vista

Gearing up for next week's Patch Tuesday release, Microsoft announced on Thursday that it's preparing six security updates -- four of them for critical bugs.

One security update actually can patch multiple vulnerabilities so it's unclear at this point how many flaws next week's releases will fix. Microsoft, though, did announce in its Security Bulletin Advance Notification that each of the four critical updates will affect Windows software, while only one affects Internet Explorer. Another one will address issues in Outlook Express, as well as Windows Mail.

One critical vulnerability affects Windows Mail in Windows Vista and Windows Vista x64 edition. There another patch for Windows Vista that's rated "moderate"...

x64 Kernel patch causes random restarts, fix on the way

Microsoft has disclosed that update 932596, a patch released for the Kernel Patch Protection feature that is included with x64 versions of Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, seems to be causing random restarts on certain machines. A Stop error is then generated (error code 0x0000001E, 0x000000D1, or another Stop error code). x86 versions of Windows are not affected since they do not include the Kernel Patch Protection feature (also known as PatchGuard), a technology that is meant to prevent third-party interventions into the core of the operating system.
