Microsoft has opened up the beta testing of its OneCare Live anti-virus subscription software to the public.
The company is also beta testing an anti-spyware product. With Windows XP already featuring a bundled personal firewall, Microsoft will soon be able to offer a full range of basic security products.
The OneCare product has been in beta since spring and Microsoft has now extended the testing to anyone with a US English version of Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Those using the service will get automatic anti-virus software updates direct from Microsoft, in the same way other users get them from the likes of Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro.
OneCare will become a commercial product next year, and beta users will be among the first to be offered the service when it launches. Pricing for the product has so far not been finalised.
An enterprise version of OneCare is also in the offing from Microsoft. By the end of the year, Microsoft plans to release an initial test version of its new Microsoft Client Protection product, to protect business desktops, laptops and servers.

Things missing:

a. Hacked files

Since I had to work on this release by myself, I decided not to include any

hacked files. This means you will not find any uxtheme or tcpip fix. Of course,

modules can be done for those later.

b. Messenger Plus!

After numerous posts regarding Microsoft’s Anti-Spam finding spyware in the

Messenger Plus! setup file, I decided it would be better to remove Messenger

Plus! from AutoPatcher. Sorry.

German computer magazine C’T claims that by changing only 2 bytes from the file setupreg.hiv in Windows’s XP Home kit, users can get access to certain functions only avalaible in Windows XP Professional, such as Remote Desktop, User management and enhanced security features.

C’T writes in its latest print issue (in German only) that you need to copy the root directory and the i386 directory of the WindowsXP CD to your harddisk, extract the Bootsector of your WindowsXP CD and change only 2 bytes in i386Setupreg.hiv by using Regedit. In fact all you have to do is edit the binary key “default” and change “01″ to “00″ and “02″ to “00″ in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEHomekeyControlSet001Servicessetupdd, C’T claims.

There is one big drawback, though. Users won’t be able to install Service Pack 2, unless they integrate SP2 in the installation CD. And that’s probably too much trouble for most users, who of course are better off buying a legal version anyway. It is expected that Microsoft will change the setup files soon to prevent this hack. 庐
