    Exclamation XPSP3 chokes on ISP versions of IE7

    FYI...

    XPSP3 chokes on ISP versions of IE7
    - http://www.informationweek.com/share...leID=207801330
    May 20, 2008 - "Private label versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 browser, including those provided to customers by Internet Service Providers Comcast and Qwest, are prone to crash during installation on computers running Windows XP SP3 because they tend to be outdated, Microsoft is warning. The problem generally occurs when a so-called "branded" version of IE7 is installed for the first time on a computer that's running XP SP3, said Microsoft program manager Jane Maliouta, in a blog post*. "The reason is that the IE7 package you are trying to install uses old IE7 files," said Maliouta. The trouble? Some ISPs are still distributing versions of IE7 that don't contain updates designed to make the browser compatible with Windows XP SP3. Specifically, XP3 runs a version of an essential dynamic-link library file called XMLLite.dll that's not compatible with versions of IE7 released prior to October..."

    FYI...

    XP SP3 triggers false positives in security apps
    - http://windowssecrets.com/comp/080522#story1
    2008-05-22 - "Installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 can cause your anti-malware programs to report the presence of Trojans and keyloggers that aren't there. The false positives have blocked important system files in some cases, and in others they have misled users into reinstalling XP... Comments on a PC Tools forum* confirm customer reports that the company's Spyware Doctor program generates a false positive on systems with Windows XP SP3. Similarly, at least one site claims that Symantec's Norton Internet Security software identifies a common system file as a keylogger. ReviewSaurus reports** that XP SP3 causes Norton Internet Security to identify ctfmon.exe as a keylogger (a kind of malware that records your keystrokes to capture passwords and other important data). In reality, the ctfmon.exe file in your Windows\System32 folder is a Microsoft system file that enables alternative input methods such as speech, tablet, or on-screen keyboard. A spokesperson for Symantec was not immediately available for comment..."

    Microsoft Security Advisory (953818)
    Blended Threat from Combined Attack Using Apple’s Safari on the Windows Platform
    - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...ry/953818.mspx
    Published: May 30, 2008 - "Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a blended threat that allows remote code execution on all supported versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista when Apple’s Safari for Windows has been installed. Safari is not installed with Windows XP or Windows Vista by default; it must be installed independently or through the Apple Software Update application. Customers running Safari on Windows should review this advisory.
    At the present time, Microsoft is unaware of any attacks attempting to exploit this blended threat. Upon completion of this investigation, Microsoft will take the appropriate measures to protect our customers. This may include providing a solution through a service pack, the monthly update process, or an out-of-cycle security update, depending on customers needs.
    Mitigating Factors:
    • Customers who have changed the default location where Safari downloads content to the local drive are -not- affected by this blended threat."
