Anti-virus scanning exclusions
Reader Josh writes in with a good question: How does everyone deal with software whose vendor requires that the application and its install directories be excluded completely from Anti-Virus (AV) scanning ? Microsoft has some recommendations for AV exclusions of their own, as do the anti-virus companies themselves (example: McAfee), and googling a bit quickly shows that pretty much every software vendor has knowledge base articles that deal with making their particular tool invisible to AV.
- How do you keep track of the various "approved" exclusions across servers in your company ?
- How do you make sure no malware is hiding or setting up shop in those excluded portions ?
- Any other comments you might have ..

Oracle CPU Patches announced for Apr 17
Oracle have released their announcement for the April 2012 "Critical Patch Update", to be issued next Tuesday (Apr 17).
Several of the patch descriptions in the announcement are accompanied by the ominous words "may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password". Sounds like next Tuesday will be busy for administrators of Oracle databases and middleware products.
