Have we lost the battle for desktop security?

We hear the warnings everywhere these days. Don't click on links from unknown sources, don't open attachments unless you know their contents, don't friend strangers on Facebook, and so many more. It's safe to say that the average Internet user is more aware of the dangers they face online than they were 10 years ago. But is user education going to be enough?

Threatpost reports that Jeremiah Grossman, CTO of Whitehat Security, believes that we have indeed lost the war for desktop security. Citing a policy that many large-scale and high profile companies are implementing, that every PC should and will be considered compromised, he infers that "the good guys have ceded victory in the desktop security battle." Considering the breadth and scope of the Internet, a statement like that can't be taken lightly.

It isn't just infected PCs that cause Grossman to throw in the digital towel. He points to a new class of malware that is slowly but surely becoming popular as the real impetus of his statements.

"Botnets are starting to target and infect routers and DSL modems. Scary, and a possible trend. Think about what this could mean. Should this problem become pervasive, it won’t matter if PCs are disinfected, swapped out, or replaced with iPads, the bad guys are still control because they own the network below. They’ll own DNS, the routers in between, and so on. There is effectively little defensive countermeasures to protect home routers and DSL modems, which are not exactly secure to begin with, or detect if they’ve been compromised."

Right after adobe updates its software

This is released
Adobe Systems on Thursday warned of new critical holes in Reader and Flash Player, released a security update for the Flash hole, and said a patch for Reader would come next week.

Updates for the following software are coming on Tuesday, according to Adobe's prenotification security advisory:

* Reader 9.3 for Windows, Mac, and Unix
* Acrobat 9.3 for Windows and Mac
* Reader 8.2 for Windows and Mac
* Acrobat 8.2 for Windows and Mac

The Tuesday updates will also address the Flash issue, Adobe said.

Meanwhile, the company released a security update to fix a hole in Flash Player version 10.0.42.43 (and earlier versions) that could "subvert the domain sandbox and make unauthorized cross-domain requests," according to a security bulletin.

Typical MS Windows patch causes blue screen of death for some

Once again Ms windows update destroys Windows.
this is the primary reason i don't agree with all experts about installing Windows update automatically and believe it should be done manually at least a week after MS fixes all windows update problems or pulls it off Windows update sites.
On Tuesday, Microsoft released a patch (KB977165) for Windows that can casue widnows not to boot i have seen this already
here is a possible fix
1. Boot from a Windows XP setup CD and select Recovery Console at the prompt
2. Change directories to the uninstall directory of update in question: At the C:\windows prompt, type "CD $NtUninstallKB977165$\spuninst" and press Enter.
3. Run in the uninstall script for that update: At the prompt, type "BATCH spuninst.txt" and press Enter. This executes the txt file as a batch script.

Microsoft has posted an offical response to the issue (it might say somthing like we have a monoply on you computers and are not responsable for our product you are!)

Component shortages lead analysts to forecast rise in prices of personal electronics and computers

The FT reports that DRAM prices have recently risen by 23 percent, followed closely by LCD prices with a 20 percent jump, both in response to the financial crisis the whole globe seems to be suffering from.
