Web Hosting News – New York, NY - Intermedia, the leading software as a service (SaaS) provider specializing in messaging and collaboration solutions, has announced that it is now offering Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 as a hosted service through its private label channel partners. This offering extends Intermedia’s reach within the productivity and collaboration space, offering an easily deployable and customizable customer relationship management (CRM) solution to its existing hosted Exchange email and collaboration, SharePoint collaboration platform and Office Communications Server instant messaging and presence services.

Unlike other one-size-fits-all hosted CRM offerings, Intermedia’s hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 is customizable to the specific needs of the individual end customer. This level of customization is possible because each CRM customer is guaranteed its own virtual dedicated server. Other vendors rely on shared server infrastructure and a basic control panel which limit their ability to meet every customer’s specific needs. With Intermedia’s new offering, customers gain a clear competitive edge because they are able to narrow sales leads, tactics, and sales and marketing campaigns to their unique core competencies and market demands. Intermedia’s channel partners gain an enhanced revenue stream from the opportunity to fine-tune and tailor the CRM solution to the needs of each customer.

Web Hosting News – Chennai, TN - K7 Computing, one of the leading information security software companies, has created a solution to the internet worm “Downadup” (also known as Conficker) which exploits the Microsoft Windows Server Service. This vulnerability could allow remote code execution, which may result in easy exploitation of the Windows computers by the attacker without authentication. To counter this latest security threat K7 Antivirus Experts have developed “K7Downadup Remover Tool” – a solution that neutralizes this family of threats.

On analysing this worm, K7 Virus Experts have found that the worm may hook the system start up and would be present in the Windows Registry in several random names such as boot, center, config, driver, installer, image, universal etc. Also, the worm is smart enough to attempt to abort any security protection by searching for process strings including Symantec, ESET, Kaspersky, K7 and many more. Although all K7 Antivirus users are protected from infection by the latest updates, previously infected and unprotected machines may need to clean up their computers first, to neutralize this security threat. Users should also patch their Windows Operating system with Patch MS08-067. K7 Security experts also advise disabling the Autorun feature of Windows by following the instructions found here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953252.
