Notes

Some companies — notably Microsoft — publish much more information about problems. This is not because their products are more prone to problems: it is because these companies make more products, or make a stronger effort to fix problems and inform customers.

Some companies don't release security fixes for old but widely used products: e.g. Microsoft doesn't support Windows 2000. Users are advised to upgrade to newer products, but many new products can't run on old PCs: such PCs will become increasingly vulnerable as time goes on.

For virus news see the Symantec Security Response Center or the Microsoft Virus Alert Center
