Google Overtakes Microsoft in Japan Brand Ranking - PCWorld
Google Overtakes Microsoft in Japan Brand Ranking - PCWorld: "Google has overtaken Microsoft to secure the top spot in a major Japanese survey of corporate brand perception.
The company has been growing in Japan and easily attracts more traffic each month than competing Microsoft Web sites, but Microsoft's long history in Japan and deep ties with Japanese IT vendors had given it an advantage until this year.
Google scored 782 points in the survey, a single point ahead of Microsoft, which was ranked in second place. The latest ranking reverses last year's top spots and puts the two U.S. tech giants almost equal. Last year Google was 25 points behind Microsoft.
The annual survey is carried out online by Nikkei Research and this year received responses from 33,033 consumers and 14,184 business people. It asks respondents how they perceive major brands and the experiences they gain from using a company's products or services.
Yahoo Japan, Google's biggest competitor in Japan and operator of the country's most popular Web portal, managed to climb a couple of positions to fourth place. That put it behind Sony, which kept hold of its number-three position." -According to PC World.

P2P-Worm.Win32.BlackControl.g - Securelist
P2P-Worm.Win32.BlackControl.g - Securelist Kaspersky Lab ZAO.
P2P Worms spread via peer-to-peer file sharing networks (such as Kazaa, Grokster, EDonkey, FastTrack, Gnutella, etc.).
Most of these worms work in a relative simple way: in order to get onto a P2P network, all the worm has to do is copy itself to the file sharing directory, which is usually on a local machine. The P2P network does the rest: when a file search is conducted, it informs remote users of the file and provides services making it possible to download the file from the infected computer.
There are also more complex P2P-Worms that imitate the network protocol of a specific file sharing system and responds positively to search queries; a copy of the P2P-Worm is offered as a match.

| Damage: | low | |
| Size: | approx 4200 bytes | |
| Discovered: | 2010 Jul 19 |
SYMPTOMS:
Presence of shortcut files on removable media or network shares
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:

The vulnerability is caused by the routine that tries to display the icon for the shortcut file. In some cases, when the shortcut points to a module in the Control Panel, the operating system will try to load the module - to display the icon. In order to exploit this vulnerability, a special shortcut file is crafted that will make the operating system think that it points to some module in the Control Panel when in fact it points to amalicious module.
For the attack to be successfully carried out, the user has to view the file with Windows Explorer or other program that makes use of the shell32.dll functions in order to display the icon. The vulnerability is currently exploited by malware that BitDefender detects as Rootkit.Stuxnet.A.
