hype-free

A blog which tries to demystify computer security, point out the half-truths and misinformation which floats around about this subject and hopefully reduce the hype created by semi-informed people. It also has some useful tips from time to time.

"Updated" UAC

Via the Grand Stream Dreams blog: Symantec seems to came out with an "updated" version of UAC.

My opinion? In the short term solutions like this are effective for at least two reasons: (a) they are to particular for "bad guys" to care about (why should they but effort into something which is used by less than 0.01% of the market?) and (b) the people who start to use it first are the power-users who can make more sense out of the message. In the long run this won't solve the dancing bunnies problem.
