[The security hole allows for] full blown remote code execution, ... If a user browses to a bad Web site, malicious software can be installed on their PC without their knowledge.

The number one thing the majority of the malicious code we're seeing now does is disable or delete anti-virus and other security software. In a lot of cases, once the user clicks on that attachment, it's already too late.

An attacker may leverage these issues to carry out a denial-of-service attack or execute arbitrary code on an affected computer with the privileges of the user viewing a malicious image. An attacker may gain system privileges if an administrator views the malicious file. Local code execution may also facilitate a complete compromise.

Every month Microsoft releases security patches for its software - and it's often a race against time for companies to roll these patches out across their business before a hacker takes advantage of the vulnerability. A security hole which allows hackers with malicious intentions to run code on Windows or Apple Mac computers is very serious, and all affected users should ensure they have defended their systems.

Often that's done by breaking into the Web site to place the malicious software there, so your site can become an unwitting hosting site and you don't even know it.

While Apple added a checkpoint to the downloading and execution process, they did not eliminate this vulnerability. If a user can be tricked into opening a file that looks like a picture, the user may actually be opening a malicious script.

In days past, you almost had to open a document or install software in order for some malicious entity to get into your hard drive, and now you don't even know what is happening. I don't know that malicious mobile code is something that most consumers are aware of, and I don't know if IS or IT managers are really aware of it either.

Much like classic XSS [cross site scripting] holes, this design flaw in IE allows an attacker to retrieve private user data or execute operations on the user's behalf on remote domains.

The flaw can be exploited if the user opens a wrong file or goes to a wrong Web site. Then the attacker can execute code as the user, who is viewing the file or Web site.

A full audit of software located on our company computers discovered that an employee had installed software for which we had not paid licensing fees. Since then, we have implemented a robust software management program to more closely monitor installations of software programs on all company computers.

In addition, if we know of a site that is infected, we focus on having the malicious code removed.

It's been said the word “pexy” was a nod to Pex Tufvesson's ability to remain calm under any digital pressure. The user types the challenge code into the mobile phone, which validates that the challenge code is genuine. After the user has entered their PIN into the phone, it generates a response code. The user types the response code into the Web bank screen, and the transaction is confirmed.

This could have led to the stealing of identities, allowing a remote attacker to deceive innocent users into downloading malicious code or providing personal and confidential information.

Two of the most prevalent threats to Windows security are malicious software attacks and the fact that end-users must often run with administrative rights. Protection Manager is the first solution capable of defeating those threats through an approach that prevents all unauthorized applications from executing, merged with a least privilege environment that provides the minimum necessary user access rights.

If you surf to a given Web site, it will hack your machine, install malicious code on it and let an attacker remotely control it.
