This month’s batch of security patches from Microsoft will be a record-breaking one: 16 bulletins addressing a whopping 49 security vulnerabilities. According to the company’s advance notice, four of the 16 bulletins will be rated “critical,” Microsoft’s highest severity rating. Microsoft rates a critical vulnerability as one that could be exploited to propagate an Internet worm without user action. | ||

| #1 Funny, because you're on the same path with your comments here :-) |

| #2: You just wish you had a thick, meaty 4-digit post count like I do. However, it's not like it was back in the day where I would have to post a lot to counter Ketchum-esque whoppers like "Microsoft's new OS with new buzzword acronyms will forever eradicate the constant barrage of security problems plaguing Windows users today." I used to post even more than that back in the parkkker days, when you had to argue idiotic things like up isn't down and the sky isn't green. |

Just for you, Latch: Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit V2.0 REF: http://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2010/09/02/enhanced-mitigation-experience-toolkit-emet-v2-0-0.aspx
Direct Download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c6f0a6ee-05ac-4eb6-acd0-362559fd2f04 When a process, against every good and known practice is allowed to violate the rules (as some Adobe products do), there is EMET. It is extremely easy to enable profiles and add specific applications, like Acrod32.exe and from then on ignore zero day defects in Adobe's Acrobat Reader. Still do run as I have suggested - as a standard users on Vista/7 x64 with UAC left on and elevated to its highest in Win7 and do use IE 8/9 with Protected Mode on. Then use Microsoft Security Essentials, because it talks to the Windows Filtration Platform and File System Filters. If/when an exploit for a third party app is out there and like Adobe, is able to run around the UIPI broker and skirt protected mode (FLASH... ptew ptew...) use EMET and you can forget the worries. It creates no drag on a system at all. Finally, if you're running IE 9 BETA, uninstall FLASH and use the new x64 bit versions in BETA parallel to it - these 32 and 64 bit versions (install both of them) are brokered as they should be. Available here, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Latch, have you patched Ubuntu 10.x? It took 45 minutes today and yes, I use APP Armor, which by the way, EMET is much like - only it works and doesn't cause the application to crash. |

#4: So now your new & improved message is that you can finally be safe under Windows if it's Windows 7 x64, with DEP and ASLR, and IE9 in protected mode, and standard user account, with MS Security Essentials and EMET? Wow, it really is that easy.

#5, all but EMET are standard defaults.
For advocates of things such as NoScript and AppArmor, like yourself, EMET ought to have been a yippee kind of moment. What's your list? Run Linux? Which distro and in which config, with which browser and with which extensions? Seems to me that defaults + FREE MSE and for those that really sweat third party zero-day vulns. having a tool like EMET would be a welcome thing to guys like yourself. I think you still can stand the fact that Windows Vista/7 are not only more secure than the competition, they are easier to keep them secure. Microsoft makes its mistakes, the progress it has made in the area of security isn't one of them. |

#6: Relax, I'm just taking the piss out of you. You should be able to recognize that by now. I know that nothing is perfect, but your claims of MS superiority fly in the face of the back-to-back record-breaking bug months.
