Always Close your PC security holes.

There is no perfect software. It is always haunt the minds of software developers. One example is not perfect a security hole in software. A software usually has a security hole that can be infiltrated by cyber criminals. Cyber criminals typically use these holes for things such as spreading malicious malware, viruses, and phishing.

Microsoft recently released a patch to patch the security hole. They categorize these security vulnerabilities as critical.

"One of Microsoft's security vulnerabilities affecting almost all Microsoft products, the Windows 2000 to Windows 7, but in the critical category is only for Windows 2000," said Ben Greenbaum, senior research manager, Symantec Security Response. "From the XP SP2 and later products, Microsoft has strengthened the heap memory with the heap memory protection strategies; this makes the security vulnerabilities are less of a problem for systems newer."

Adobe, the company famous for its Photoshop products, began scheduled to release a security update. The users expect that Adobe patched the hole on the Acrobat Reader first detected on December 14, 2009.

"We see this security vulnerability actively exploited by attackers," said Greenbaum. "At the end of December this attack looks businesses rose sharply and then declined, but we still see attacks limited to such exploitation. It is possible that the type of exploitation is more reliable under development. "

Finally, Oracle is scheduled to release an advisory that addresses 24 security vulnerabilities as well as part of their regular security updates.

"This is a shining moon for Microsoft," Greenbaum added. "But since Adobe overcome several security holes, at least one of them critical, and Oracle also improve security vulnerabilities 24, many IT managers have to keep working hard."

Symantec strongly recommends users to patch their systems to address this security vulnerability. In addition, companies are encouraged to consider implementing a patch management solution automatically to help overcome these risks.
