FTC Shuts Down Fraudulent Antispyware
Company
03/14/2005 06:26 PMChalk one up for the good guys. The FTC today announced that it's
filed a restraining order against a company that allegedly offered
Internet users a spyware scanner program that falsely reported that
computers were infected with spyware, and which failed to remove any
spyware at all from infected machines. (We detailed some similarly
sketchy businesses in last fall's story,
Poor Defenders.)
"In an effort to induce consumers to purchase and download the
defendants' "anti-spyware" software from their Web site, the
defendants make numerous material deceptive representations in their
marketing media," the FTC report says."
"First, after describing the various dangers of spyware
surreptitiously installed on a computer, the defendants represent that
they have "scanned" or otherwise examined the consumer's
computer and have detected that spyware already resides on it. In
numerous instances, the defendants make these spyware detection claims
when the computer has no spyware residing on it."

someone can comment and tell me who they are? I'd have to have
disputed...

Detect and Repair mode
Detect and Repair mode
04/09/2004 03:54 PMAbout once a month, Outlook becomes a pain in the ass for me to use
for about 2 hours.
Inevitably, it'll hang on me while I'm doing something else, or
some other process will hang while I'm using Outlook, and Outlook will
refuse the shut down properly.
(I'm normally in the middle of about 15 things when this
happens).
I'll shut down the XP box that I use, and
let it sit for 20 minutes or so (I guess I'm hoping it'll get over
whatever I did that made it mad at me).
After leaving it alone, I'll start it back up, and then I'll try to
launch Outlook. It'll tell me that it wants to start in "Safe Mode"
(and I'm like ... hmmm, does it normally run in 'un-safe' mode?).
I'll let it try, and every-time, it'll faily to start up properly.
I'll again, leave the machine alone for 20-30 minutes... hoping
Outlook will figure out what's giving it problems, fix it, and then
start up... about 90% of the time (or so it seems) it'll fail to start
properly, and will just sit there telling me that it's "Not
responding" (and I'm like "No Shit!")
So, I'll shut it down using the "End Process" command on the
Windows Task Manager.
And then, I'll start up Outlook, and it'll tell me that something
is horribly wrong, and that it needs to go into "Detect and Repair
Mode". I'll click "ok" and then go away for another 20 minutes or so,
while Outlook's installer tries to do it's thing.
About half of the time it works and Outlook continues to work
(although it forgets some of my preferences).
The other half the time, I "rinse and repeat" this whole
process.
This whole process happens about once a month, and it costs me
around 2-3 hours each time it happens...
What a pain in the ass... total loss of productivity.
I don't think Apple Mail has ever 'ceased to function' on me, and I
know that Mailsmith hasn't ever broken. Come to think of it, OS X has
never crashed on me either...
Had to get that off my chest... Thanks for listening

NEC Develops Software To Detect
'Counterfeit' Batteries
NEC Develops Software To Detect
'Counterfeit' Batteries
07/07/2004 11:33 AM
I'm not sure I like this at
all. In an effort to 'protect' consumers from the scourge of exploding
batteries (and lower prices), NEC has developed software that detects
"counterfeit battery products" in mobile phones and digital cameras.
If the software simply detects that certain safety measures in place,
but still allow for third-party batteries to be used, then that's
probably fine (at least until the cheapo battery manufacturers start
spoofing the safety hardware). However, if this software means that
only NEC-branded batteries work in NEC products, that's going to be
punch all of us right in the wallet, as NEC starts charging more per
battery, likely under the auspice of "increasing prices due to more
rigorous safety measures."
You know how I detect counterfeit batteries? If they smell like
ham, and then I put them in my mouth and they are delicious, usually
that means they aren't real. Otherwise, you know, if it's powering my
phone, it's probably real enough for me.

Why new US passports can be read without
permission
Why new US passports can be read without
permission
04/14/2005 12:47 PMCory Doctorow:
Yesterday at the Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference in Seattle,
Ed Felten cornered a State Department Fed who was there to advocate
for passports enabled with RFID chips that will make it possible to
track Americans as they wander the streets of foreign cities, and for
terrorists and crooks to target American citizens by detecting the
signature radio-pulses their passports give off. Ed asked the Fed why
the US needed remotely readable passports, instead of passports with
smart-cards or other "contact-read" technologies in them? The Fed's
responses are hilariously lame:
In the Q&A session, I asked Mr. Moss directly why the decision was
made to use a remotely readable chip rather than one that can only be
read by physical contact. Technically, this decision is nearly
indefensible, unless one wants to be able to read passports without
notifying their owners -- which, officially at least, is not a goal of
the U.S. government's program. Mr. Moss gave a pretty weak answer,
which amounted to an assertion that it would have been too difficult
to agree on a standard for contact-based reading of passports. This
wasn't very convincing, since the smart-card standard could be applied
to passports nearly as-is -- the only change necessary would be to
specify exactly where on the passport the smart-card contacts would
be. The standardization and security problems associated with
contactless cards seem to be much more serious.
After the panel, I discussed this issue with Kenn Cukier of The
Economist, who has followed the development of this technology for a
while and has a good perspective on how we reached the current state.
It seems that the decision to use contactless technology was made
without fully understanding its consequences, relying on technical
assurances from people who had products to sell. Now that the problems
with that decision have become obvious, it's late in the process and
would be expensive and embarrassing to back out. In short, this looks
like another flawed technology procurement program.
