The vulnerability is found in your system32 folder, and the file concerned is gdi32.dll. The gdi32.dll is a dynamic link library for the windows GDI(Graphical device interface) containing pre-defined functions to render 2-D images. Now, the vulnerability arises in the way your operating system handles Windows Metafile (WMF) vector images and allows random code to be executed on a remote machine.

This security vulnerability allows malware to get downloaded through drive-by downloads. Now, although  windows metafile is extensively supported by all windows systems, systems from windows XP onwards have been found to be particularly vulnerable as they provide a handler and reader for the metafile in their default installation.

Machines running Macintosh, Linux etc are not directly infected. But there is a possible risk of infection if they execute a third party application which has the capability to render Windows Metafiles in non-windows platform. You can get your computer checked for this vulnerability by clicking here.

Typically, after installing anti-virus and anti-spyware, we think our job is done and that the computer is secure. But this just goes to show that, new vulnerabilities keep popping up. Although i have a robust system, on running a scan to detect if my computer is susceptible to this vulnerability, i found that i have a failed defense! Check this out :

• Your only defense against this metafile vulnerability, is to ensure that you keep your automatic updates on, by default.
• Microsoft since then has released a patch. You can manually download the patch by clicking here.
• If you run the same scan once again, you will find that the vulnerability has been taken care of and there are probably no back doors in your computer!

So go ahead guys, patch your computer against this. Do let us know if you have any questions or comments to share.

When we talk about browsers, a couple of things are of prime importance.

1. Security.
2. It must not consume too much RAM (h/w resources).
3. It must be highly efficient and easy to use.

Opera will not disappoint you, instead it promises a fantastic browsing experience! Let us take you through why we think Opera has scored a homerun with this release. Google chrome indexes your recent website visits, and shows them as thumbnails when you open a new  tab. Now these sites may not be the ones you would want to visit regularly, and the bookmarks in chrome are arranged with a drop-down menu. What Opera has done is, they use what they call – Speed Dial! This feature saves a thumbnail of your recent websites, at the same time it also allows you to customize it to your convenience. Here`s a snapshot of the same :

Another feature we would like to highlight is the – Opera Widgets. You can download them by clicking on Widgets in the Menu bar or by clicking here. Among the widgets are cool apps and some super cool games! Do check this one out.

If this was not enough, Opera has a built-in server side optimizer – Opera Turbo. It reduces the amount of data that is transferred between your computer and the web server by up to 80%, although Opera warns that this compression might lead to poor image quality in cases, our tests have yielded fantastic results! You can find the Opera turbo button on the bottom of your browser and tweak it to your convenience.

The most eye catchy feature of Opera 10.10 is the – Opera unite! Opera unite is a platform that allows you to stream content, whether that be music, documents,videos etc without uploading it to a website. To break this into easier words, Opera unite creates a end to end connection between you and the people you wish to transfer files. The Opera unite suite contains a assortment of apps like :

• Opera Unite Home: An overview that lists all the applications you are running, activity information, and also shows the applications others are running.
• File Sharing: Share files directly from your computer easily and safely.
• Fridge: Enjoy fun notes left on your computer by friends.
• Photo Sharing: Share your personal photos with friends around the world without the need to upload them.
• Media Player: Access your complete home music library from wherever you are.
• Web Server: Host your Web sites directly from your own computer.
• Messenger: Communicate with your friends in My Opera in a one-to-one, live session.

Besides the above listed apps, you can integrate more apps with Opera unite by clicking on the unite button , next click on the Add button, and then choose your app to synchronize it with Opera unite.

So guys, our verdict is Opera has unleashed a monster! Go ahead and try taming this one! You can download Opera 10.10 by clicking here. With Opera 10.50 still in the Beta release, this is most definitely one of the best browsers out there! Do let us know what you think of it!

“ Please do not store passwords if you are accessing this web page from a public computer ” . Grr ! How many times  have we gone through the misery of repeating our login id’s time & again. Whether that be your 5 minute break when you have to  lock your PC or having multiple email / networking ids, lets face it , we absolutely HATE the process of authentication !  Any solutions ? Biometrics ! Biometrics is a science of methods used to uniquely identify humans based on the features each one of us is made of ! Cool huh !

KeyLemon , has created a facial recognition software  which will authenticate your session by scanning your face instead of you manually typing in the password ! Besides Keylemon , HP have also made their presence felt  in the Biometrics sector . Their face recognition software was recently in news for being unable to track features of dark people . HP refuted the allegations and claimed that it was a contrast issue .

However , the software that we are talking about today has proven to be extremely efficient in identifying faces irrespective of shades . To have a glimpse of how this software tracks your information and regulates access , check this video tutorial by clicking here.

KeyLemon allows you to set multiple accounts and it uses your web cam to check if the person using the computer is really you ! You can limit the number of times it scans your face from settings . In a era where security is of prime importance , we think this software is an ideal solution . You can use Keylemon to authenticate not just your windows login but Firefox users can download a plug in to access Facebook , LinkedIn and Twitter .

Currently you can download this software and use it for 30 logins with face recognition as it is free to try , although the retail price of the full version is $19.95 .

The Minimum hardware requirements  are :

• Pentium 500 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 1GHz or greater)
• 100 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)
• 25 MB hard drive space
• USB webcam or integrated webcam (laptop)

To download the software kindly click here .  Try this app and drop comments to let us know what you think about it !
