Be careful Firefox 2 users as there is a security flaw which could leave passwords vulnerable to hackers. "The new flaw is in the Password Manager feature of the browser, which stores log-in details for websites so that users do not have to input them every time they visit a protected website. Users are vulnerable because the Password Manager fails to verify that the URL is legitimate. The flaw was discovered by Robert Chapin of Chapin Information Services and seems to affect all versions of Firefox, and may also affect Microsoft's Internet Explorer."

Sophos has announced a version of their security suite compatible with Windows Vista. The interesting thing about this is that Microsoft doesn't want companies like Sophos making their programs for Vista. Forsyth said that earlier issues around Microsoft’s PatchGuard security product, which blocked security vendors from Vista’s kernel code, had not affected the roll out of the product. “We didn’t have a problem because we approached [Vista security] in a different way. We get to files before they reach the kernel, before a file is unpacked; we look into it and analyse it,” he said."
