[gui-talk] Screen Magnification

[Stan Gowin]

Hi,

I'm a little confused. I know Zoomtext worked very well on PC-DOS and MS-DOS
systems up through V7. I used it on several such systems until I converted
completely to Windows 95.  I believe Ai Squared offers Zoomtext for DOS at
minimal or no charge these days.

What are you looking for that Zoomtext didn't provide? 



Regards,
Stan

	Hi All,

Does any one know of a screen magnification program that will work on a dos
system?  We have all ready tried Magic and Zoom Text, thanks for your help.

Steve

Critical Word Vulnerability Uncovered

Security researchers have discovered a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft
Word, which is already being actively exploited by hackers in China and
Taiwan. Microsoft's Security Response Center says it is working with
antivirus vendors to prevent attacks and plans to release a security patch
on June 13.

The exploit is spread as a Word document attached to an e-mail. Users who
open the attachment with Word XP and Word 2003 are then infected with a
trojan that contains rootkit-like features in order to hide itself from
antivirus scanners.

The trojan communicates back to a server, but it's not yet clear what data
is transferred.
"When the exploit is launched, early on in the process, it drops a bot,
possibly Rbot or some variant," said SANS Internet Storm Center researcher
Chris Carboni in a diary entry.

"Once the bot is in place, it begins an extensive recon of the system;
installed patches, installed AV, contents of My Documents, startup file
contents, IE config, etc."

No antivirus application currently detects the exploit, according to SANS.
Microsoft is hoping to remedy this problem and says it is working closely
with security vendors.
The Redmond company plans to update its own Windows Live Safety Center with
definitions that detect the new attack.

"The Office team is hard at work on an update that addresses the
vulnerability. It's in testing right now to make sure it's of the right
quality for release," said Microsoft security researcher Stephen Toulouse.
"Right now we're on schedule to be released as part of the June security
updates on June 13, 2006, or sooner as warranted."

F-Secure has dubbed the trojan "Ginwui.A" and says it allows a hacker
to: create, read, write,
delete and search for files and directories; access and modify the Registry;
manipulate services; start and kill processes; and more.

Symantec, meanwhile, has raised its ThretCon Level to 2 following news of
the exploit.
"The DeepSight Threat Analyst team advises administrators to block Microsoft
Word document email attachments at the network perimeter," the company said.
"Furthermore, use extreme caution while processing Microsoft Word
attachments received via unexpected email."
