Packaging Company Reduces Cost and Complexity by Switching From Novell 2008-04-01 Microsoft

As one of the leading manufacturers of innovative packaging for liquid food products, Elopak has operations all over the world. In the past, most of its locations managed their own networks with their own IT staffs. Most of its 40 offices ran file and print and directory services on Novell NetWare, and used Windows NT and Windows Server for applications. This decentralized infrastructure was very labor-intensive to manage and made it difficult for the company to deploy solutions globally across the enterprise. To address these challenges, Elopak decided to outsource its infrastructure hosting and management to Unisys and to migrate from Novell to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.

Safe Termination of Orphan Processes on Windows NT Platforms 2007-12-01 McAfee

Rootkits are one of the greatest challenges to computer security. Due to the stealthy nature of rootkits, it is almost impossible for a user to see these hidden processes or files. In some situations, even security applications may not be able to detect the presence of rootkits. Rootkits use different methods to infect systems and hide their objects. Rootkit scanners use different methods to detect rootkits. One method is differentiation. This method takes a snapshot of the system's objects at a low-level layer (or even before the system boots, called preboot scanning); then it takes another snapshot at a very high-level layer and compares the differences.
