Custom User Icons

If you plan on getting a copy of XP, one of the first things you're going to do is set up a user account. Why not give your user account its very own picture? It's OK if you don't want to use a picture of your own because Windows comes with at least 20 beautiful pictures to choose from.

Here's how you can customize your user account icon.

Single-click the start menu and choose Control Panel.
Single-click the User Accounts icon.
Find the user account you'd like to change the icon for and click on it.
Click the text that says "Change My Picture."
You'll have the option to either pick one of the predefined icons or choose your own.
If you like one of the predefined icons, just highlight the one you like and click the button labeled "Change Picture."
If you'd like to use your own picture, just click the magnifying glass or the text labeled "Browse for more pictures."
This will launch a dialog box directing you to navigate to where your new picture is stored. After you find it, just click Open to save your new changes.

Powerfull INDIA

Ajay Kanth Sriharikota, Apr 28 (PTI) Setting a record, India's Polar rocket today successfully placed ten satellites, including the country's remote sensing satellite, into orbit in a single mission. The ten pack launch of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) saw the 230-tonne Polar Satellite launch Vehicle (PSLV-C9) carry the heaviest luggage--824 kgs--and put into orbit an Indian Mini Satellite and eight foreign nano satellites besides the Cartosat-2A remote sensing satellite.

At the end of the 52-hour countdown, the PSLV-C9, with a lift-off mass of 230 tonne, blasted off from the launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre and soared into the clear sky in a textbook launch at 9:23 am. Fourteen minutes after lift off, the fourth stage of the ISRO's workhorse launch vehicle, in its 13th flight, injected the ten satellites, into the 635 km polar Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO).

This is for the first time that ISRO has put ten satellites in orbit in a single launch. This is also PSLV's twelfth successful flight.

A Russian rocket last year delivered 16 satellites in the outer space but the Russian launch vehicle carried a lesser payload of only around 300 kg. Besides the 690 kg Indian remote sensing satellite CARTOSAT-2A and the 83 kg Indian Mini Satellite (IMS-1), the rest eight Nano Satellites were from abroad.

This is the third time, the PSLV has been launched in the core alone version, without the six solid propellant first stage strap-on motors. Terming the launch "satisfactory", ISRO Chairman G Madhavan Nair said "all parameters worked wonderfully well.

Trojan Horses Increase 300%

If your system gets hacked, chances are it will be from a Trojan. A Microsoft Security Intelligence report tabulated a 300 percent increase in the number of Trojan downloaders and droppers the last half of 2007 -- a trend which security experts say will continue to exponentially grow. Consistent with malware trends, the biggest security threats are moving to the Web and consequently experts say that they expect to see the number of Trojans rise exponentially. The reason? Trojans are by far the most "financially interesting" malware, experts say.

"It's the path of least resistance," said Doug Camplejohn, CEO and cofounder of security company Mi5. "For most enterprises, it's where they're least protected."

These Trojans allow attackers to install a small downloader onto unsuspecting users machines, usually without their consent, in order to record passwords, credit card, bank account numbers and other personal identifying information.

The significant increase in Trojans far outweighed the upswing in previous years, becoming increasingly evident that Trojan downloaders are replacing other types of malware, such as infected e-mail files and attachments, security experts said.

"Executables used to be delivered by other mechanisms," said Jimmy Kuo, principal architect for the Microsoft Malware Protection Center. "Now almost all other methods have gone by the wayside to those that simply lure people to [infected] Web sites."

Camplejohn said that the shift to Web-related threats was tied largely to the prolific, and rapidly self-replicating nature of botnets.

"If you think about it, Trojans kind of provide the best bang for the buck for a malware writer," said Camplejohn. "A smart hacker is going to spend their time and efforts to create a Trojan, in the long run, they're going to be rewarded better for that effort.

"Botnets bring money. Therefore Internet criminals write Trojans," he added. "Why do you write Trojan? Because that's where the money is today."

Microsoft's fourth Security Intelligence Report, which examined the security landscape between July and December 2007, provided analysis and perspective on software vulnerabilities, exploits, malicious software and potentially unwanted software -- software that occupies a gray area, such as adware -- observed by Microsoft security professionals over the last several years.
Meanwhile, the report found that the prevalence of rogue security software also continues to increase, which can be delivered via Trojans as well as by other social engineering methods, such as phishing.

Not surprisingly, the report found that newer versions of Microsoft applications were more resistant to vulnerabilities -- a fact which security experts said was due to increased awareness of security threats rather than failing to incorporate security into its products.

"We all make mistakes, and we learn from those mistakes," said Kuo. "Basically it's not that we didn't think of security, we just know more about it now."

Unlike previous versions, numerous current versions of Microsoft products now incorporate automated software updates, and are less prone to infection in general, Kuo said.

Surprisingly, not everything was on the rise. Bucking recent trends, exploits, malware and hacking accounted for only 13 percent of security breach notifications during the second half of 2007 and only 23 percent of all security breach notifications between 2000 and 2007.

Also countering previous security trends was a decline in the disclosure of vulnerabilities rated as high severity -- altogether, only 32.2 percent of known security vulnerabilities in the analyzed products had publicly available exploit code in 2007. In addition, vulnerabilities requiring a low level of complexity to exploit also continued to decrease.

"Vulnerability trends go up and to the right," said Camplejohn. "To have something reverse that trend, we look at with cautious optimism. That was really the surprise there."

Experts attribute this to a variety of factors. For one, companies might not have completely finished assessing all of their known security flaws.

Another explanation for the downward turn could be attributed to the underground market, in which hackers and cyber criminals purchase vulnerabilities in order to hold onto them for future use.

"We don't want to jump to conclusions that the number went down because we make the product safer," said Kuo. "If the numbers continue to go down, that will be proof."

De-Stress For Better Memory

Today's education system is highly stressful. And under stress, not only dose the brain not function well, but children behave abnormally. They should be made to improve their memory so that they do well. A relaxed brain leads to deeper insight. It is well known that Newton and Archimedes made their famous discoveries while they were relaxing, the former in a garden and the letter, in the bathtub. But in today's world, recreation alone cannot eliminate stress completely. The following yogic techniques improve memory.

Sambhavi mudra: This position leads to the production of alpha brain waves, indicating a relaxed mind. It can be practiced anytime, in any position.
  • Roll the eyes up and cross them, look at the mid point of the two eyebrows.
  • Maintain the position of the eyes for a comfortable duration, Tratake: This is a meditation that de-stresses the mind.
  • Sit down in a cross-legged posture, keeping the back straight.
  • Place a lighted candle in front of you at an arm's distance.
  • Close your eyes and still your body.
  • Concentrate on your natural breath for 2-3 minutes.
  • Open your eyes and look at the brightest spot in the flame.
  • Gaze without blinking for 2-3 minutes (close your eyes before they start to water).
  • You will see the image with close eyes. Concentrate on that image till it fades.
  • Open your eyes. Practice three times. To rest the tired eyes, rub palms till they are warm and place them on your closed eyes for 8-10 seconds. This should not be done for more than a month at a stretch. Some object such as a black dot, a flower or God's image can be used alternately.

Five Critical Errors Patches By Microsoft

Microsoft announced today that it plans to issue eight security patches that fix holes in its Windows operating system and Internet Explorer. The announcement came in advance of its monthly "Patch Tuesday" security release scheduled April 8.

Altogether, Microsoft is repairing five vulnerabilities deemed "critical" and three rated "important" in almost every version of its operating systems, including Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000, as well as Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and Explorer.

The announcement was part of Microsoft's pre-patch notification, which was posted on the company's Web site today. Microsoft releases regularly scheduled patches on the second Tuesday of each month.

The five critical updates fix errors in Microsoft Office, Windows and Internet Explorer. All critical vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote code execution, which could allow an attacker to issue a denial of service attack or install malware to completely take over an affected system.
The three patches deemed important fix errors that enable hackers to "spoof" and gain unauthorized elevated privileges to different versions of Windows, as well as execute malicious code by exploiting an error found in Microsoft Office.

In particular, the upcoming security bundle addressed problems in the newest versions of Microsoft's operating system, including Windows Server 2008, released last month, and Windows Vista SP1, which became available two weeks ago.

Microsoft said in its advance notification bulletin that its Baseline Security Analyzer can detect whether a users' computer system would requre the update. In order to install the patch, users will need to restart their computers.

Security updates are available from the Microsoft Download Center, which can be found most easily after doing a keyword search for "security update," Microsoft said in its advisory.
The company also announced that it plans to host its April Security Bulletin Webcast April 9, at 11 a.m. Pacific Time.
