Malware on the Rise

Microsoft is clearly the industry leader in terms of operating system and it still has a firm hold over that position. In recent times, the company has had a quiet time in terms of security risks, especially after the introduction of  Windows 8. However, a new type of malware is being distributed for the Windows OS through German spam that affects the boot record of the infected computer. Also, this malware can also give the hacker control of the infected computer.

Distributed Via Attachment

Trend Micro was the company that was responsible for the detection of this new type of malware. The researchers who analyzed this malware said that it was attached to the German spam mail, and is code named BKDR_MATSNU.MCB. The mail will claim that the recipient has to pay some money to the sender, and all the relevant details have been attached to the mail. Trend micro researchers claimed that this method is very effective in influencing the recipients to open the attachment.

Ransomware Reaction

Once the malware is downloaded and installed on the victim’s computer, the data is collected and sent to the hacker who planted the malware. Once that is done, the malware is capable of erasing the boot record on the drive, erasing data, and also locks the screen of the computer. The victim is then asked to pay a certain sum of money if the screen has to be unlocked, the classic ransomware approach.

Microsoft Issues Worldwide Virus Alert

The talk and the footprint of computer viruses in the online world had reduced significantly in the last year. Hackers and online miscreants had moved on to other methods of attacking computers as viruses were considered to be too weak. But Microsoft recently announced that the trend is all set to change in the coming days. A security expert from the IT giant said that hackers were reverting back to the usage of viruses and coming up with innovative attack vectors. He said that this year, the world will witness a significant increase in the usage of viruses for attacking computers (both personal and corporate).

Low Broadband Penetration Rate

Tim Rains, the security expert who announced the news, said that Microsoft was monitoring the virus trends on the World Wide Web and noticed a spike in the volume of viruses for the first time. He said that low broadband penetration rate has increased the chances of a computer getting infected with any of the malicious software, including Trojans and worms. He said that this trend is being exploited by hackers and they are using viruses more actively to infect broadband connected computers (which is almost every internet enabled computer today). Microsoft also added that they had traced the infections to as far as Egypt, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Viruses Are Easy to Eliminate

Rains said that even today, viruses are very easy to be removed as their signatures can be easily detected and tracked. He said that users are expected to keep their anti-virus systems updated which will significantly reduce the chances of being attacked by a virus.

BlackBerry PlayBook Priced at $199 for ‘Limited Time’

Whether or not Research in Motion’s PlayBook tablet is next in line for the chopping block is yet to be known, but those who still have faith in the PlayBook can pick one up for just $199.

RIM took to Twitter to get the word out that “for a limited time” shoppers in the U.S. and Canada can purchase the PlayBook for $199 from participating retailers.



According to the BlackBerry website, those who are interested can find the deal at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Office Depot, Radio Shack and Wireless Giant. However, as of this writing only Best Buy appears to be reflecting the $199 sales price. So if you're looking to get one, you better move fast!

BlackBerry business customers can enjoy an entirely different deal in BlackBerry’s Back to Business promotion. Business customers that purchase two PlayBook tablets from an authorized value added reseller will receive an additional BlackBerry Playbook for free, along with a free accessory of their choosing for each PlayBook.

Lenovo Leapfrogs Over Dell to Become Number 2 PC Maker

Step aside, Dell, its Lenovo’s turn to be the number 2 PC vendor in the worldwide market.

Lenovo’s market share was at 13.7 % for the third quarter, up from the second quarter’s 12.2%. Dell had less luck, with their market share slipping from 12.9% to 12% during the same time period.

Lenovo’s joint venture with NEC earlier this year played a small role in boosting shipments. Beyond that, the Chinese company engaged in aggressive marketing to both the professional and consumer PC markets, which also helped increase their computer shipment volume in the third quarter.

Preliminary Worldwide PC Vendor Units Shipment Estimates for 3Q11 (Units)

Company	3Q11 Shipments	3Q Market Share
HP	16,231,528	17.7 %
Lenovo	12,352,194	13.5 %
Dell	10,676,360	11.6 %
Acer Group	9,686,853	10.6 %
Asus	5,693,785	6.2 %
Others	37,146,785	40.5 %
Total	91,786,865	100 %

Windows 8 Will Have Built-in Antivirus Software

Microsoft Windows 8 will come packed with its very own built-in antivirus software.

Previous editions of Windows only came with Windows Defender, which detects and removes spyware from the PC.

Microsoft’s antivirus software, Microsoft Security Essentials, has always been up for [free] grabs, but it requires the users to manually download it.

With Windows 8, Microsoft has decided to roll the protection offered by Microsoft Security Essentials into Windows Defender, giving Windows Defender the power to offer spyware, malware, and virus protection, along with parental controls and a personal firewall.

In short, Windows 8 will come stock with all of the functionality offered in paid antivirus software typically provided by Symantec, ESET, Kaspersky, and others.

While it’s good to see that Microsoft is taking measures to protect its end users right out of the box, there’s concern over what kind of an impact it will have on third-party antivirus software companies. Microsoft has previously caused an uproar already and found themselves being accused of engaging in anti-competitive practices when it offered Microsoft Security Essentials in a Windows Update last year.

Still, one can argue that it's good to see Microsoft take the security of their operating system into their own hands. Despite the availability of third-party antivirus software, PCs continue to get infected at an alarming rate, suggesting that many users don’t even bother installing or keeping up-to-date antivirus software running on their PCs. With Windows 8 – and the new Windows Defender – those users will have the protection whether they like it or not.

Aside from the built-in antivirus software, Windows 8 will also have a nifty feature called Secured Boot, which stops any attempt to boot the PC from an infected USB drive and will display a warning message to the user.

Yet another reason to look forward to the new [more secure] version of Windows!

Do you feel Windows 8 will have any impact on third-party antivirus vendors and their products?
