Posted on Windows 7 News & Tips I’m currently planning a ‘Christmas Special’ for my ongoing webcast series.  On Tuesday December 13th I’ll be helping people in “Setting up and Configuring a New PC” because Christmas is, traditionally, a good time for the purchasing and giving of high-tech electronics.  Let’s face it, if the three wise men could have delivered unto Jesus an iPad, an all-in-one PC and an Android Smartphone they probably would have done.  But religious flippancies aside this Christmas could be a very interesting time for PC sales because it is the last chance to get a Christmas PC with Windows 7 on board. The word about Windows 8 is now beginning to get out and setting aside the fact that January will bring a great many new features with the beta, people who are thinking about Windows 8 will have to make up their mind based on what they’ve seen in the current Developer Preview.  The fact remains here that much of what we have seen, the touch OS, the Metro interface and the one app per screen approach isn’t going to change much and some people might decide they simply don’t want to go that way. Human beings are, after all, resistant to change.  It makes us uncomfortable which is one of the reasons why Microsoft have now had to shove the Ribbon interface into just about everything to get people to use it.  They’ve been steadily doing the same with Metro, there are references of it tracing back to Windows 7 Media Centre for example.

Microsoft’s monthly Patch Tuesday came and went yesterday without a patch for a Windows kernel vulnerability that’s being exploited by Duqu malware . Microsoft pushed out an emergency workaround last week , which shuts off access to T2EMBED.DLL, the dynamic link library that allows applications to display TrueType fonts. The workaround was issued quickly because successful Duqu-based attacks could allow attackers to run arbitrary code in kernel mode, allowing them to install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

I hate setting up Windows Firewall as the firewall Rules don’t work sometimes only on Router, Then I tested Windows 7 Firewall Control and WOW it works. Now I can do a simple port forwarding without Router, as you can see backdoor bypassed the Windows Firewall.
