Copy Protection Bites Microsoft
Karma???
Microsoft has warned that a faulty driver used for copy protection could allow a hacker to gain high-level access to a PC. The problem lies with a driver called secdrv.sys, which is part Macrovision’s SafeDisc software included with Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. The software, which can block unauthorized copying of some media, also ships with Windows Vista, but that OS is not affected.

Ccleaner Updated
Ccleaner Version 2.02.525 is out.
CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it’s fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

Paul Thurrott takes a look at Windows Home Server. I just honestly can’t understand why anyone savvy enough to set up a home server would use this product. Maybe someone can post a comment on why they are or would use this?
