PsExec v2.0: PsExec, a popular utility for executing processes on remote systems, introduces a new option, -r, that specifies the name PsExec assigns to its remote service. This can improve performance when multiple users are interacting concurrently with a system, since each will have a dedicated PsExec service.

本事象が、12 月公開分の IE の累積更新プログラム（KB2898785）の検出時においても発生するとの報告がございました。
なお、KB2898785 をインストール完了して頂く事によって事象が改善する事も確認されております。（※こちらは暫定対処策 1 に該当します。）
この事象につきましては、情報に更新があり次第、随時当該ブログでご案内させて頂きます。

本日、本事象への恒久対処策として、数年前に公開させて頂いた古い「Internet Explorer の累積的なセキュリティ更新プログラム」を期限切れ（公開停止）とする対処を実施させて頂きました。
暫定対処策を実施されていない WSUS 環境におきましても、これによって置き換え関係を参照する対象が少なくなり、その結果として、IE の累積更新プログラムを検出する際の高負荷の状況が緩和される事が考えられます。
なお、期限切れの情報は、WSUS サーバーを Microsoft Update サイトと同期して頂ければ、着信可能です。

On October 1, 2003, Microsoft announced it would move to a monthly security bulletin cadence. Today, marks 10 years since that first monthly security update. We looked at many ways to improve our security preparedness and patch timing was the number one customer request. Your feedback was clear and we delivered a predictable schedule.

Today we’re publishing the October 2013 Security Bulletin Webcast Questions & Answers page.  We fielded 11 questions during the webcast, with specific bulletin questions focusing primarily on the SharePoint (MS13-084) and Kernel-Mode Drivers (MS13-081) bulletins. There was one additional question that we were unable to answer on air, and we have included a response to that question on the Q&A page.

​While analyzing a malicious Chrome browser extension we recently came across a Virtool that tries to redirect the Chrome Extension page.
