Update Salfeld Child Control 2007

Computers are the place for children. This is the place where they can sharpen their agility as well as their abilities. They can learn and make new friends. What’s more, the Internet provides information for homework assignments. So far, so good. But they also need to be protected from the computer—for one thing, so that they don’t lose their sense of time and forget to go out and play with their friends once in a while, and for another, because of the dangers lurking on the Web. That’s why responsible parents everywhere install Child Control on every computer that their children use.

Give children an “allowance” of time
Child Control 2007 keeps track of the time your kids spend in front of the computer. Once their time is up, the computer automatically shuts down and won’t start up again—something any kid can understand. Our experience has shown that Child Control 2007’s verdict is accepted without arguments—there is no debate and no discussion. Another way of looking at it: “Child Control gives your kids back time that they are then free to spend in other ways.”

Safety on the Internet
It isn’t always easy to watch your young ones’ every move on the computer—and it’s even harder to follow what they’re doing on the Internet. Child Control 2007 can also help you here, by automatically shutting the door on their Internet connection once their allotted time is used up. Parents can easily regulate how many hours a day each child can spend on the Internet, and even specify the precise hours of the day when the gate to the worldwide online community will be available.

The Dark Side of the Internet
Sure, you can find any number of sites that are useful for learning, reference, and games. Then there are the other ones that are clearly inappropriate for children and teens. Some parents also worry about their children ending up on one of these sites by accident, or as the result of a dare. These fears can be quickly put to rest by Child Control 2007, which has already made a name for itself in Internet monitoring.

Control Internet access using filters
Child Control lets you activate filters to block all websites oriented toward violence or sex. You can also filter out specific words that may appear on various websites. Alternatively, you can limit access to only the websites that you specify. In that case, your kids will only be able to access these sites, and all others will be off-limits. In the 2007 version, parents can also limit their kids’ stay on certain sites to a specified time, so that eventually they will have to put their online games away and get back to their homework.

System Requirements
Our products use very few system resources and can easily be run on older PC's. Software programs listed here can be run on all current Windows platforms (Windows 95(b), 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, XP SP2 (home und professional). Resource usage is relatively light: a Pentium II, Celeron, or AMD Athlon/Duron running at 266 MHz or above; a mouse; VGA (800x600 or higher); 64MB RAM; and 5 MB free disk space per application are sufficient.

Microsoft Windows Vista Weather Gadget vulnerability

The Windows Vista Weather gadget contains a vulnerability that may allow and attacker to execute code.

Gadgets are mini-applications designed to provide the user with information or utilities. Windows Vista treats gadgets similar to the way Windows Vista treats other executable code. Gadgets are written using HTML and script, but this HTML is not located on an arbitrary remote server as web pages are. HTML content in the Gadget is downloaded first as part of a package of resources and configuration files and then executed from the local computer. This download process is similar to applications (.exe files) downloaded from the Internet.

Today, the Windows Vista Sidebar hosts Gadgets built from HTML, JavaScript, and potentially ActiveX controls, and because Gadgets are HTML, they are subject to Cross-site Scripting style bugs. These bugs are extremely serious because script in the Sidebar is capable of running arbitrary code in the context of the locally logged-on user.

This document outlines some of the secure programming best practices that should be considered when building Windows Vista Sidebar Gadgets.

Never Trust Input

This is the same advice we have given for years, and it still holds true for Sidebar Gadgets. Many Gadgets read, manipulate, and then display untrusted data, such as that coming from an XMLHttpRequest object or an ActiveX control. All such input needs to be validated.

Validate Untrusted Input

There is no replacement for a good input checker. You should build a function or functions that include regular expressions to verify that the input is correctly formed, and if it is not, you should reject the data. Below is a loose example that only allows numbers, brackets, dashes, and spaces between 6 and 14 characters long.
