Is Microsoft Exploiting the Innocent?
,----[ Quote ]
| I'd never heard of the UK government's Child Exploitation and
| Online Protection Centre (CEOP), but that's not surprising,
| since I'm allergic to organisations whose approach is "truly
| holistic" as CEOP brightly claims. But as well as being
| susceptible to embarrassing cliches, it seems that the outfit
| is naive, too.
|
| [...]
|
| It couldn't be that the young and innocent Child Exploitation
| and Online Protection Centre has allowed itself to be, er,
| exploited by that wily old Microsoft here, could it?

| So is upgrading really the answer? Free Software advocates
| will point out that GNU/Linux-based operating systems
| (Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian, to name a few) are the most
| secure options owing to their inherent architecture.

AVG disguises fake traffic as IE6
,----[ Quote ]
| In late February, AVG paired its updated anti-virus engine with a real-time
| malware scanner that vets search engine results before you click on them. If
| you search Google, for instance, this LinkScanner automatically visits each
| address that turns up on Google's results page.

ow to beat AVG's fake traffic spew
,----[ Quote ]
| This has caused an enormous spike in traffic on sites across the web,
| including The Register, and many webmasters may not realize where these hits
| are coming from. Hoping to fool malware writers, LinkScanner mimics real live
| human clicks. At least in part.
|
| [...]
|
| To avoid confusion, we've updated this story to point out that webmasters are
| filtering traffic by identifying both the missing HTTP header and the IE6
| agent. It should also be noted that LinkScanner seems to be using two other
| user agents. But these are far less prevalent. At the moment, these are the
| three user agents the product seems to employ:
|
| Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
|
| User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
|
| User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;1813)
