Microsoft Security Essentials flags Google Chrome as Malware September 30, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Google, Microsoft, News, Reviews, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentI spent the whole morning restoring Google Chrome on numbers of computers at the office after it was flagged as Password Stealer PWS:Win32/Zbot and forcibly removed by Microsoft Security Essentials. As I was working to get this problem straighten out, I discovered other people are having the same problem.
Interestingly, Microsoft Security Essentials did not flag Google Chrome Dev release as malware. It only affects the release version on the computers I have in the office.
I was unable to reinstall Google Chrome even after updating Microsoft Security Essentials. So I disabled Microsoft Security Essentials before started re-installing Google Chrome.
If you were still having problems re-installing Google Chrome with Microsoft Security Essentials disabled, try uninstalling Google Chrome from the Control Panel.

Microsoft demands royalties from Samsung over Android phones. July 6, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Linux, Microsoft, News, Tech , add a commentMicrosoft is sure to make profit on mobile phone business, not from Windows Phone 7 but from Android phones. Reuters reported that Microsoft wants Samsung to pay smartphone license, specifically for the Android phones.
Microsoft Corp has demanded that Samsung Electronics Co Ltd pay $15 for each smartphone handset it makes based on Google Inc’s Android operating system as the software giant has a wide range of patents used in the mobile platform, local media reported on Wednesday.
Microsoft has been asserting that Android operating system is violating Microsoft’s patents. Previously Microsoft went after HTC to sign patent deal over Android phones. Microsoft also sued Motorola over Android phones.
Recently Microsoft also claims that Google’s Chrome OS is violating its patents.
This is not the first time Microsoft going after Open Source Software. Microsoft was asserting patent ownership on Linux operating system and signed a deal with Novell.

Preview Microsoft New Home Page, as long as you’re not using Safari. January 19, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, Microsoft, News, Resources, Tech , add a commentMicrosoft is giving a sneak peek at its new home page. According to Microsoft, to view the new home page your computer must meet the following requirement:
- Windows 7 or Windows Vista with one of the following browsers: Internet Explorer 9 or 8, Mozilla Firefox 3.x, or Google Chrome 8.x
It is odd that Microsoft is supporting Chrome right away, while the other Webkit-based browser namely Safari is not supported.
By the way, Chrome for Mac OS X can view the home page just fine.
