ActiveX control
A sofware component of Microsof Windows that can be used to create and distribute small applications through Internet Explorer. ActiveX controls can be developed and used by sofware to perform functions that would otherwise not be available using normal Internet Explorer capabilities. Because ActiveX controls can be used to perform a wide variety of functions, including downloading and running programs, vulnerabilities discovered in them may be exploited by malware. In addition, cybercriminals may also develop their own ActiveX controls, which can do damage to a system if a user visits a Web page that contains the malicious ActiveX control.
adware
A program that displays advertisements. While some adware can be benefcial by subsidizing a program or service, other adware programs may display advertisements without adequate consent.

Computers in the botnet are ofen called nodes or zombies.
browser modifier
A program that changes browser settings, such as the home page, without adequate consent. Tis also includes browser hijackers.
CCM
Short for computers cleaned per mil (thousand). Te number of computers cleaned for every 1,000 executions of the MSRT. For example, if the MSRT has 50,000 executions in a particular location in January and removes infections from 500 computers, the CCM for that location in January is 10.0. Te CCM for a multiple-month period is derived by averaging the CCM for each month in the period.

remote control software
A program that provides access to a computer from a remote location. Tese programs are ofen installed by the computer owner or administrator and are only a risk if unexpected.
responsible disclosure
Te practice of disclosing vulnerabilities privately to an afected vendor so it can develop a comprehensive security update to address the vulnerability before it becomes public knowledge.
rogue security software
Sofware that appears to be benefcial from a security perspective but provides limited or no security capabilities, generates a signifcant number of erroneous or misleading alerts, or attempts to socially engineer the user into participating in a fraudulent transaction.
Sender ID Framework
An Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocol developed to authenticate e-mail to detect spoofng and forged e-mail with the typical tactic to drive users to phishing Web sites and to download malicious sofware.
social engineering
A technique that defeats security precautions in place by exploiting human vulnerabilities. Social engineering scams can be both online (such as receiving e-mails that ask you to click the attachment, which is actually malware) and ofine (such as receiving a phone call from someone posing as a representative from your credit card company). Regardless of the method selected, the purpose of a social engineering attack remains the same-to get the targeted user to perform an action of the attacker’s choice.
spam
Bulk unsolicited e-mail. Malware authors may use spam to distribute malware, either by attaching the malware to the message or by sending a message containing a link to the malware. Malware may also harvest e-mail addresses for spamming from compromised machines or may use compromised machines to send spam.
spear phishing
Phishing that targets a specifc person, organization, or group, containing additional information associated with that person, organization, or group to lure the target further into a false sense of security to divulge more sensitive information.
spyware
A program that collects information, such as the Web sites a user visits, without adequate consent. Installation may be without prominent notice or without the user’s knowledge.
SQL injection

Download SUN VirtualBox 2.2.2
VirtualBox 2.2.2 is now available for download
VirtualBox is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). See "About VirtualBox" for an introduction.
Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), Solaris and OpenSolaris, and OpenBSD.
VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while Sun ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.
On this site, you can find sources, binaries, documentation and other resources for VirtualBox. If you are interested in VirtualBox (both as a user, or possibly as a contributor), this website is for you.
Support Host Operating Systems
A supported host operating system. Presently, we support Windows (primarily XP) and many Linux distributions on 32-bit hosts and on 64-bit hosts. Support for Mac OS X and Solaris and OpenSolaris appeared in 1.6.

VirtualBox 2.2.2 Features
1. Modularity.
VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox.
2. Virtual machine descriptions in XML.
The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
3. Guest Additions for Windows and Linux.
VirtualBox has special software that can be installed inside Windows and Linux virtual machines to improve performance and make integration much more seamless. Among the features provided by these Guest Additions are mouse pointer integration and arbitrary screen solutions (e.g. by resizing the guest window).
4. Shared folders.
Like many other virtualization solutions, for easy data exchange between hosts and guests, VirtualBox allows for declaring certain host directories as "shared folders", which can then be accessed from within virtual machines.
