Windows 7 to be release somewhere near October Mid?

It has been confirmed by an Acer executive that one of their products, Acer Aspire Z5600 PC will be launched on 23rd October 2009 that will be preloaded with Windows 7. Now thats some news! So you should expect the release date to be somewhere near it. Also, if you purchase a system with Vista 30 days before the release of 7, you will be eligible for free upgrade too. The RC1 of Windows 7 is already doing rounds on MSDN and TechNet.

VBootkit's working

How does it work? During boot up, VBootKit 2.0 , loads itself into the system memory and bypasses the hard drive altogether, making it extremely difficult to detect as nothing is altered on the hard disk. And once it is is up in the memory, it functions just like a remote backdoor that allows the attacker to do any changes including changing system passwords, install other malwares etc. But, as it runs in memory it will last as long as PC runs, once it is restarted its gone. Also, you dont need to worry much as the attacker needs to have physical access to your machine to use this software. But Microsoft has definitely got some reasons to get worried, if their so called “best designed” OS can be taken over by a 3KB code. You might have noticed somethind, the version of this software, its 2.0 , and thats because they made a similar code for Vista too! Why dont OS makers learn from it?Well, we do learn and hence using Linux is a wise decision . Look out for my next post to get what I mean to say.
