Shavlik up for sale?

A post to the Patchmanagement.org email discussion list indicated that Shavlik may be up for sale? I’m checking into it. More to come. An interesting blurb I found on their web site is that they recently licensed their technology to Sophos . Hmmm…

Adobe's suggested fix to their latest 'critical' security issue?

As I posted earlier, Adobe has released security bulletin on a security issue in the Reader product that they deem as “critical”. OK — thanks, Adobe, it’s “critical”. But, don’t you think a software company that admits a critical security issue would make the...

The latest Adobe patch: Adobe relies on you, the customer, to get it right

Did you get the Adobe Update?

I read about the update yesterday, but interestingly enough, you won’t see the update (for the automated updater from Adobe) until you actually have to use Adobe Reader. I could go for months without using Adobe – and, frankly wish I never had to use it. But, I did today and was presented with...
