Users of the BitDefender antivirus software started flooding the company's support forums Saturday, apparently after a faulty antivirus update caused 64-bit Windows machines to stop working.
The company acknowledged the issue in a note explaining the problem, posted Saturday. "Due to a recent update it is possible that BitDefender detects several Windows and BitDefender files as infected with Trojan.FakeAlert.5," the company said.
The acknowledgement came after BitDefender users had logged hundreds of posts on the topic. Some complained of being unable to reboot their systems.
"EVERY file that is trying to run is getting quarantined," one user, identified as lhmathys, reported. "Windows Explorer and even Bitdefender update itself is being quarantined. Someone really screwed this one up."
"We are in a really terrible position now," wrote another user, identified as ufitec. "We have 150 business clients and most of the pcs [on] which BitDefender thinks everything is virus does not boot any more!!!!"

There are no translations available. Nokia reported a net loss and a fall in revenue for the third quarter, despite selling more phones than analysts had expected. The company reported sales of £7.84 billion (US$12.33 billion), down 13 percent year on year, making a net loss of £59 million, compared to a net profit of £462 million a year earlier. The company stands and falls with its phone sales. During the third quarter it sold 106.6 million phones, down from 110.4 million during the same period last year, but still more than analyst Geoff Blaber of CCS Insight had expected.

How Will Windows 7 Affect Risk Management In Business? Sunday, 08 November 2009 21:42
In the past, Microsoft has had a reputation for leaving security wide open. Businesses held off from migrating to Windows Vista – but this won’t be happening with Windows 7. Microsoft has always been the most popular target for hackers and computer criminal syndicates because it provides the most widely used operating systems. Windows 7 will have issues and vulnerabilities, but if you weigh in the amount of attacks against the amount of licenses Windows is no more of a target than it should be considering its size. In fact, Windows 7 has arrived in good time for the risk management industry, launching in line with the Unified Access Gateway release. It features improved functionality, better security and most importantly the lack of Vista’s old legacy code. There has been a change in the way Risk Managers work and are now seen as core to ensuring corporate standards are met and maintained. Risk Managers have recently shot up the pecking order and now have direct access to steering committees and influencing board level issues.

There are no translations available. Sony has expanded its streaming music and on-demand gaming services to its new tablet, a spokeswoman said Thursday. The company has launched a new version of its "Music Unlimited" application that broadens the service to the Sony Tablet released last month. The new application is available in nine countries including the US, Australia and parts of Europe, spokeswoman Noriko Shoji said. A tablet version of its "PlayStation Store" has also been released, allowing officially certified games to be purchased and downloaded to the device. That service is available to a different group of countries, which include the US, Canada, Japan and major European markets. Sony is the only major electronics maker to have its own music, movie and video game franchises, and is hoping to use them to differentiate its tablets from the pack in pursuit of Apple's iPad. Its streaming music service, which comes in capped and unlimited versions, is now available on its Bravia TVs, PlayStation game consoles and Xperia phones, as well as its computers and tablets. It also runs on other Android devices. The music service was offered on its new tablets slightly after they were launched because more time was required for development, Shoji said. She said the company will make the service compatible with future tablets, such as the two screen clamshell S2 unit that goes on sale later this month. On the Android Market website, the initial reception to the Music Unlimited service for tablets was negative, with 33 users giving it one star and several comments saying it doesn't start up properly. The company said it will also launch an eBook store for its tablets later this month. Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites |
