    Should I shift to Linux? Recently I have concerns of data on my PC being stolen by a business competitor whom I know he is personally a software programmer/engineer as well.

    MS responded to Softpedia article (or somewhere) and I think they'll provide some fixes. Hope it'll be quick enough...

    Based on the comprehensive leaked list posted over at BleepingComputer, it appears that MS have only addressed the ones they have an acceptable answer for; many still remain unanswered, and therefore active vulnerabilities:

    EASYBEE appears to be an MDaemon email server vulnerability [source, source, source]

    EASYPI is an IBM Lotus Notes exploit [source, source] that gets detected as Stuxnet [source]

    EWOKFRENZY is an exploit for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 to 7.0.2 [source, source]

    EXPLODINGCAN is an IIS 6.0 exploit that creates a remote backdoor [source, source]

    EMPHASISMINE is a remote IMAP exploit for IBM Lotus Domino [source, source]

    ENGLISHMANSDENTIST sets Outlook Exchange WebAccess rules to trigger executable code on the client's side to send an email to other users [source, source]

    ERRATICGOPHER is a SMBv1 exploit targeting Windows XP and Server 2003 [source, source]
    Addressed prior to the release of Windows Vista

    ETRE is an exploit for IMail 8.10 to 8.22 [source]

    FUZZBUNCH is an exploit framework, similar to MetaSploit [source, source], which was also part of the December-January "Windows Tools" Shadow Brokers auction [source]

    DOUBLEPULSAR is a RING-0 multi-version kernel mode payload [source]
    EquationGroup had scripts that could scrape Oracle databases for SWIFT data [source, source]

    ODDJOB is an implant builder and C&C server that can deliver exploits for Windows 2000 and later [source, source], also not detected by any AV vendors [source]

    A good tool for a complete system inventory, including any missing updates and security vulnerabilities is Belarc Advisor (free).

    PSI (personal software inspector) from Flexera, formerly Secunia was once one and only tool for system vulnerability checking. It's not updated so frequently and has a bit more false positives lately, but is still a good choice.

    Link points to Bleeping Computer site...

    Thanks HG. Really, this is HUGE, and I don't think people are taking this seriously enough.
