It boils downs to any "app" which tries to display a "html" from the web is vulnerable to been hijacked. And the author has nothing to do with it.
Generally a program uses "object" in the code which uses some dll to show, say IE window in the program itself. Since the main browser Edge, Firefox extra is not called but a scale down version of an old library, so the vulnerability increases.-anandcoral (May 29, 2017, 05:41 AM)

Microsoft ... chose to use the Windows Defender name for 3 distinct products ...
Windows Defender (downloadable for XP, included on Vista and Windows 7, antispyware only, includes some useful system utilities, too, not present in MSE or Windows Defender/8-RT)
Windows Defender Offline (uses the same technology as MSE, but runs from a bootable disc created by the downloaded "wizard")
Windows Defender (included in Windows 8 and Windows RT [and Windows 10] that is a full antivirus and antispyware program)
I made this-Deozaan (May 26, 2017, 06:39 PM)
Doesn't seem to have worked that way in this computer. Win Defender was Off and is updated beyond that version(1.1.113804).-Arizona Hot (May 26, 2017, 10:27 PM)

Many thanks, Deozaan. I've now checked. The version number is way out of date, but apparently I succeeded in turning WD off when I installed Kaspersky and did not succeed in turning it back on when it kept nagging at me to do so. So Windows Defender is turned off. I'm assuming that means that it hasn't been scanning anything and won't be doing so, and thus it will not be vulnerable to the malware threat in question. If I'm wrong, I hope someone will let me know.-cyberdiva (May 23, 2017, 07:48 AM)
thanks Deozaan,How are we supposed to tell whether Microsoft has fixed the vulnerability on individual computers?-cyberdiva (May 21, 2017, 08:07 PM)
The linked article says:To check whether your Windows PC has been updated, head to "Windows Defender settings" and note the Engine version number. 1.1.13704.0 or higher means you've been patched.-Deozaan (May 22, 2017, 12:16 AM)
it is interesting to see how looking at things more objectively can be constructive:That was an interesting comment for the poster to make.. It's almost as if the world of free advertising-sponsored apps have made people think that they are generating revenue for us just by using our apps. Let me clarify for folks that no one makes any money from DonationCoder software based on the number of users, installs, etc. There is no adware, no bundled 3rd party toolbars, etc. that generate revenue for us. Not only that but we pay a pretty hefty fee each month (over $300/month) to run the servers hosting the downloads, etc. We're not complaining -- the donations from users still covers our costs -- but yeah, do realize that we aren't making any money just based on downloads/installs/users..-mouser (May 19, 2017, 09:59 AM)

revisiting this (correcting created date of photos) -
this about correcting the date in the Exif info if that incorrect.
From the current newsletter (Nov.6th 2009) from Imaging Resource. I added a link for the recommended app in the quote:-camera manufacturers record it in the Exif header of their image files in several places. The DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate and ModifyDate tags all record it, for example. The trick is to reset all three on a new image.Full article: http://www.imaging-r...v11/20091106.htm#adv
ExifTool can do that with one simple command. There's a Windows version and a Mac version. The simplest way to use the utility is from the command line (Terminal on the Mac).

Here's something that would help: Can someone make a png image that has a Description/Comment field that *DOES* show up in these other programs? With such a sample png I should be able to figure out the difference.-mouser (May 17, 2017, 09:54 AM)
