Microsoft has a long tradition of publishing Security Bulletins to share information about patches and security fixes that it releases. But starting next year this is going to change.
 
As of February 2017, Microsoft will make use of the newly launched Security Updates Guide database. This, on the face of it, sounds like a great idea -- a searchable database of information -- but it changes the way information is presented and is unlikely to be well-received by users.

v4.3 - Oct 25, 2016
* Many changes to enhance and correct DPI settings:
Initial window width is defined as 800 and will scale with DPI; previously, the minimum width was 890, but variably larger based on dpi (e.g. >=150% dpi)
Default Mail column widths have been re-assessed and now include DPI and font size for calcualtions
New "Use optimal column sizes" option on right-click header (account and mail); this will also be prompted after changing font
Main statusbar panes have been resized based on DPI
Account List can now be twice as wide as before
Desktop Alert fonts are resized based on DPI
Options lists are resized based on DPI (several locations)
Toolbars are resized based on DPI (Main, Message, SendMail, AntiJunk)
New graphics for many of the message list icons to better support resizing
Other miscellaneous graphics are resized based on DPI and/or available column sizes
Additional HTML Zoom levels have been added (300, 250, 175)
Custom HTML Zoom
Option windows: The list window now matches the height of the options-page window and list window now has 3D look (both were inconsistent depending on DPI in previous versions)
Tray Icon: will scale correctly for DPI; other changes to enhance legibility including a different font, no "3D" look on the color background, and the text color will always be either white or black
* New "notes" page for Accounts (edit account to access)
+ The "friend" (smiley) user flag will now only be applied when the sender is in your Address Book and not just white listed; this should make the icon more significant; to revert behavior: main menu: Tools / AntiJunk -> Settings / White List (advanced)
- A new method is used for HTML zoom that allows the zoom to occur before displaying the content instead of after (this can be significant when loading slow, remote images); related: navigation sounds are disabled
- For Hotmail IMAP with IDLE, POP Peeper will keep-alive the connection every 2 minutes (server address must be imap-mail.outlook.com)
- Server Info contains more information such as: last time successfully connected to account, last time error, text of last error, number of consecutive errors
- "Online" button is available on upgrade window to allow convenient access to the version list online
- AntiJunk: *@esumsoft.com is included as a default whitelist entry
- Fix: AntiJunk: Spam-reporting: In some cases, including multiple recipients in a single service may introduce extraneous characters into the field
- Fix: AntiJunk: Spam-reporting: When using a specific account to use for spam-reporting, the status would not get updated to indicate that the message has been reported (ie. whistle status)
- Fix: After re-activating Pro, the message list would not immediately update to reflect AntiJunk status (colors, filters)
- Fix: Certain types of emails that used relative URIs could cause POP Peeper to hang
- Fix: PPtweaker: Troubleshoot / IE emulation did not set emulation value correctly
- Fix: IMAP accounts that are disabled will no longer engage IDLE (note: accounts already in IDLE that are changed to disabled will not disconnect)
- Fix: Spell-Checker: The typographic apostrophe character (e.g. � - 0x92) is now considered the same as the ascii apostrophe (e.g. ' - 0x27) for better compatibility with languages like French that may use it
- Fix: In very rare cases, the default method used to play sounds may cause POP Peeper to hang, this can be fixed under main menu: Tools / PPtweaker; Troubleshooting: don't allow simultaneous sounds (enable only if necessary)

Skin Notifier v4.3:
- Fixes long-standing issues with DPI:
Most significantly, images will stretch to match DPI
Text will now fit as intended
- Optimizations to load skins more efficiently
- Default position is now bottom-right of window instead of center (when slider is disabled)
- Information is displayed instead of a blank white box if no skins are available

Plus Pack v4.3:
- No feature changes, version updated because some modules are affected by DPI changes
- Sent Mail Viewer: Fix in certain situation where SMV may crash at startup due to background process stopping automatically

Security & Technology News / Malwarebytes Acquires AdwCleaner
« Last post by hayc59 on October 19, 2016, 07:29:35 pm »
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – October 19, 2016 – Malwarebytes™, the leading advanced malware prevention and remediation solution, today announced the acquisition of AdwCleaner, one of the world’s most frequently downloaded tools for removing potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), adware, toolbars and other unwanted software.

Consumers and businesses download AdwCleaner more than 200,000 times per day, making it one of the most downloaded products on many sites. Installed around 200 million times, AdwCleaner has proven effective against bloatware, questionable software and specific types of malware.


The AdwCleaner story mirrors that of Malwarebytes in many ways. Founded in 2011 by three 17 year-old French students, AdwCleaner quickly grew in popularity over the years. Jérôme Boursier and Corentin Chepeau, two of the founders who have been continued their involvement while attending university in France, released the sixth major version in 2016. Ever since, the two developers have helped it grow quickly across the world. Both Boursier and Chepeau will now join Malwarebytes in engineering and research roles.
