Pirms kāda laika lasīju par to, ka Microsoft uzlabos iebūvēto Windows meklētāju tā, lai tas spētu meklēt vienlīdz labi gan internetā, gan arī datorā. Ir pienākusi tā diena, kad Microsoft jau demonstrē savu jauno meklētāju.
In a demonstration, Mehdie typed search terms into a prototype version of MSN Toolbar, which runs as an add-on to the Internet Explorer browser.
Search results, such as e-mail, e-mail attachments, pictures and documents, were also returned nearly instantaneously. Results from the Web for the same search terms were displayed on a separate pane to the right.
Lai pilnveidotu Windows sistēmu un turpmāk cīnītos ar neskaitāmiem drošības caurumiem, Microsoft turpina strādāt pie dažādiem uzlabojumiem. Viens no virzieniem ir antivīruss. Pēc nostāstiem, Microsoft antivīrusa alfa versijas testi jau ir sākušies.
They claim the antivirus software works as a “behavior blocker” that monitors different events and actions on computers. If the event or action is typical of virus or is harmful, it will be prevented.
Behavior blockers do not use code signatures like traditional scanner-based antivirus programs, so they may be able to protect against new types of viruses without being updated–an important consideration for Microsoft.
