Tweet This Microsoft has released Windows Essentials 2012 which includes new versions of Movie Maker and Photo Gallery for Windows 7 and Windows 8. Details about the new features in Movie Maker and Photo Gallery are available in the Windows Experience Blog, Introducing the New Windows Photo Gallery and Movie Maker.
Windows Essentials 2012 includes the new SkyDrive for Windows app as well as Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Family Safety, Windows Live Writer, Windows Live Messenger, Outlook Connector Pack and Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker.
Windows Live Mesh and SkyDrive
If you install Windows Essentials 2012, it is important to note that if you have Windows Live Mesh installed, it will automatically be removed if you install the new Movie Maker or Photo Gallery. In its place Microsoft SkyDrive will be installed. Microsoft has specified that if the new Movie Maker and/or Photo Gallery in Windows Essentials 2012 are installed, you can not have Windows Live Mesh on the same PC.
In order to sync folders from the cloud to all of your PCs, it will then be necessary to install SkyDrive on all of your PCs or Macs. (Windows Live Mesh continues to be available from the Download Center: Windows Live Essentials.)
Know the Difference
The important thing to keep in mind is the one major difference between Windows Live Mesh and SkyDrive. With SkyDrive, all files are "in the cloud". Unless you update to Windows Essentials 2012 and install the new Movie Maker and/or Photo Gallery, with Windows Live Mesh, you can also have files in the cloud but you can also avoid the cloud and just sync files across PCs/Mac.
Microsoft has provided excellent step-by-step instructions for both Windows Live Mesh and SkyDrive in the articles linked below.

Tweet This First came Stuxnet, Duqu and then Flame. The latest is Gauss. Although Gauss is less sophisticated than Flame, it is a data-stealing banking trojan having already obtained data from the Bank of Beirut, EBLF, BlomBank, ByblosBank, FransaBank and Credit Libanais. Citibank and PayPal users are also reported as being targeted.
As described on Securelist in Gauss: Nation-state cyber-surveillance meets banking Trojan:
"In 140 chars or less, “Gauss is a nation state sponsored banking Trojan which carries a warhead of unknown designation”. Besides stealing various kinds of data from infected Windows machines, it also includes an unknown, encrypted payload which is activated on certain specific system configurations "
The majority of Kaspersky customers who have been found to be infected with Gauss are located in Lebanon. Others are in Israel and Palestine with a few in the U.S., UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Germany and Egypt.
A quick check to determine if your computer is infected with Gauss is available from CrySyS at http://gauss.crysys.hu. The free Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool can be used to remove Dauss from your computer.

Oracle released an out-of-band security update for Java SE. Security Alert CVE-2012-4681 addresses three distinct but related critical vulnerabilities and one security-in-depth issue affecting Java running in desktop browsers.
These vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication. In other words, the vulnerabilities may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password merely by visiting a malicious web page with an unpatched version of Java.
Affected versions:
JDK and JRE 7 Update 7 and earlier
JDK and JRE 6 Update 34 and earlier
It is strongly recommended that the update be applied as soon as possible due to the threat posed by a successful attack.
Although Java is not required (See Do You Need Java?), if you do have Java installed on your computer, it is advisable to install the latest update. It is also advised that all prior (and vulnerable) versions of Java SE be uninstalled from your computer.
Instructions on removing older (and less secure) versions of Java can be found at http://java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml
Download Information
Now that Java SE 7 has been officially released, it is recommended that users of Java SE 6 upgrade to the latest version. When you upgrade from Java SE 6 to Java SE7 please check installed program files and remove all versions of Java SE 6.
As of this posting, Java SE 7u7 is only available from this link: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Verify your version: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
Note: UNcheck any pre-checked toolbar and/or software options presented with the update. They are not part of the software update and are completely optional.
Critical Patch Updates
For Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Updates, the next scheduled dates are:
16 October 2012
19 February 2013

Tweet This Microsoft released Security Advisory 2757760 to address an issue that affects all versions of Internet Explorer except IE10.
Current exploits of this vulnerability occur with Internet Explorer using third-party software, most particularly Oracle’s Java, when visiting a website hosting malicious code.
Update: It was reported at the MSRC Blog that a Microsoft Fix it solution will be issued within the next few days. In the interim, it was also stated that this vulnerability is currently not widespread. See the update at Additional information about Internet Explorer and Security Advisory 2757760.
Recommendations:
Uninstall Java -- Most home computer users no longer need Java. Following are reasons why someone may need Oracle Sun Java installed on their computer:
Playing on-line games generally requires Java.
With OpenOffice, Java is needed for the items listed here.
It used to be that Java was needed for websites to be properly displayed. However, that is generally not the case now with Flash having taken over.
There may be commercial programs that depend on Java. If Java is needed for a software installed on your computer, there should be a prompt for it.
If you need Java, be sure you have uninstalled all old, vulnerable versions and have only the most recent release installed on your computer.
Install and configure EMET -- The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit was designed to help prevent hackers from gaining access to your system. It prevents exploitation by applying in-box mitigations such as DEP to configured applications.
The simple steps needed to add iexplore.exe to EMET and other actions are provided in the "Suggested Actions" section of the Security Advisory. When checking EMET, I was pleased to see that I had already added iexplore.exe.
