All Microsoft out of the fight against the Botnets


A very recent Microsoft security intelligence report urges users of Windows XP and view to switch to Windows 7 If you want to protect your PC against the danger of malware or botnet infections. This type of malware makes your computer act as zombie machine to generate more spam. While Windows Vista and XP and the new Windows 7 have installed the latest service pack, the former 2 are more susceptible to malware and, therefore, likely to become the Botnets.


  The company explained in his report that the rate of infection is considerably lower on a PC with Windows 7 instead of dominated the previous XP team.This serves to demonstrate the provisions of security-enhanced versions more recientes.TambiĆ©n when compared with more computers updated service packs installed, the rate of infection for XP S3 is double that vista SP 2 and 4 times more than Windows 7.


The measure of what Microsoft is trying to fight botnet infections is very high.This was demonstrated when their efforts hit the proceedings took place against the botnet operators especially Waledec.Demostrado domains is the fact that the Botnets operate from China under false names by virtual offenders who are aware of your call on the Court. The judge will soon make use of the 'precautionary' clause in Microsoft as domain owners remain static for listings online and printing of their appearance in court.


This crucial legal action allows the closure of Waledec dominios.Como Microsoft has been able to convince the judicial authorities of this extreme decision consistent with the protection of the public interest.  In addition, VeriSign will order to redirect domain traffic for Microsoft. This will help Microsoft in spotting IP addresses on the internet service providers and computer emergency response teams working in 70 countries and finally to inform the owner of the infection.


Botnets normally spread infections when you click on suspicious links and when you open e-mail attachments.Both of these actions installed by a Trojan on your computer sends the invitation by the back door to criminals.Botnet infections can send spam on the primary server or dominios.En actions B49 whole Microsoft worked with researchers and other companies to break at least communication peer to peer allows e-mail messages sent directly from a PC infected to another.Not all companies are financially robust against the Botnets, but can work together to achieve the benefits of combining pressure on courts to enable 'precautionary' procedure against Botnets, as said by an engineer security altos.Al seem the Waledec was send I.5 spam billions of messages a day, possibly infecting more than 100,000 equipos.Con new security measures the rate of infected domain now is declining since August 30.


All the overwhelming reasons cited above have forced Microsoft to take hands compared to earlier versions of Windows XP and vista.Los consumers are increasingly directed to upgrade to the latest version of Windows in their own interest.
