Today we’re providing Advance Notification of 10 bulletins for release on Tuesday, May 14, 2013. This release brings two Critical and eight Important-class bulletins, which address 34 unique vulnerabilities. The Critical-rated bulletins address issues in Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer. Of note, we are working to have the Internet Explorer Security Update address the issue described in Security Advisory 2847140, supplementing the currently available Fix it. The Important-rated bulletins address issues in Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Server and Tools, and .NET Framework.

As always, we will publish the bulletins on the second Tuesday of the month, at approximately 10 a.m. PST. Please revisit this blog at that time for our official risk and impact analysis, along with deployment guidance and a brief video overview of the month’s highlights. Until then, you should review the ANS Summary Page for more information and prepare for bulleting testing and deployment as soon as possible to help ensure a smooth update process.

Keygens and Windows 8

by certifiedbug on May 4, 2013

in Windows OS

As we first reported in the Microsoft Security Report Volume 13, Keygens have become the number one threat reported by users of Microsoft antimalware products. The research also indicates that 76 percent of users that downloaded Keygen or software cracks were also exposed to other, more dangerous malware.

Keygens are typically not very dangerous on their own. However, malware authors are having great success using deceptive downloads that either pretend to be Keygens or contain them as well as other malware to spread their malicious payloads. Customers reporting Keygens have higher rates of additional malware infections compared to other threats. Some of these threats try to trick users into paying for software that’s distributed for free from trusted sources.
