[News.com] Windows cursor patch causing trouble. Pel que sembla, l'actualització de Microsoft per a la vulnerabilitat .ANI dóna problemes de compatibilitat amb els productes de Realtek.
Microsoft broke with its monthly patch cycle Tuesday to repair a bug in the way Windows handles animated cursors. Cybercrooks had been using the hole since last week to attack Windows PCs. But the fix is not compatible with software that runs audio and networking components from Realtek Semiconductor, some Windows users have found.
(...)
Microsoft is aware of problems with Realtek's audio software. In fact, it knew about them before releasing the fix and published a support article with the security bulletin. An additional update is available from Microsoft to remedy the problem, according to the company's Web site. Microsoft is not aware of networking issues, a representative said.
The audio problem occurs on Windows XP PCs that have the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel installed, Microsoft said. The application may not start after the patch is applied and Windows may display an error message, the company said.

[ComputerWorld] Hackers now offer subscription services, support for their malware. Un grup de russos ofereix en una web serveis de suport per a malware, amb garantia de resultats! Ofereixen als propietaris de servidors web la possibilitat d'instal·lar-hi un programa espia i pagar-los en funció del tràfic rebut.
Like many just-launched e-commerce sites in the world, this unnamed Web site has a fairly functional, if somewhat rudimentary, home page. A list of options at top of the home page allows visitors to transact business in Russian or in English, offers an FAQ section, spells out the terms and conditions for software use and provides details on payment forms that are supported.
(...)
In return for downloading the malware to their sites, Web site owners are promised at least €50 -- about $66 (U.S.) -- every Monday, with the potential for even more for "clean installs" of the malicious code on end user systems. "If your traffic is good, we will change rates for you and make payout with new rates," the site promises.
