Samsung’s SW Update Says “NO” To Windows Update

Yup, I get annoyed by the Windows Update popup reminders as well. Still – updating is important and at the end of the day I am quite happy that there actually are updates to patch vulnerabilities and fix issues.  Which is why it is so shocking to find out that this time it’s not actual malware that is trying to disable it but a well know company: Samsung.

Microsoft MVP Patrick Barker discovered the issue when assisting a user with a Windows Update issue.  According to him “it was figured out eventually after using auditpol.exe and registry security auditing (shown below later) that the program that was responsible for disabling Windows Update was Disable_Windowsupdate.exe, which is part of Samsung’s SW Update software.”

Luckily the Samsung SW Update tool does not come with PCs by default: Users have to download it from Samsung’s website and install it. But let’s be honest: If you buy a new laptop you often download available tools in order to keep the system up to date as easy as possible. According to VentureBeat doing so is a common practice since there were people complaining about having an update problem before.

Now, Baker even got in touch with Samsung, whose support team had to say the following: “When you enable Windows updates, it will install the Default Drivers for all the hardware no laptop which may or may not work. For example if there is USB 3.0 on laptop, the ports may not work with the installation of updates. So to prevent this, SW Update tool will prevent the Windows updates.”

Well. Disabling the Windows Update does seem a very crass solution when it comes to making sure your updates and drivers will not break with new Windows updates …

Panda Security continues to expand internationally through organic growth and innovation as it celebrates its 25th anniversary #Panda25years

Panda Security has reason to celebrate. Today the multinational developer of security solutions designed to protect the digital lives of individuals and organizations alike  is celebrating  25 years in the vanguard of IT security, not just in its native Spain, but all around the globe. Panda Security, with a direct presence in more than 80 countries and products distributed in around 200, has announced that Italy and Denmark are set to join its network of subsidiaries, as two important markets for the company’s European business. With these latest additions, the company now has 16 subsidiaries:  Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the U.S.A.

This internationalization process, which represents one of the pillars of the company’s four-year strategic plan, is further bolstered by the consolidation of its presence in markets where it is already strong, -Western Europe, the USA, Latin America-, for example with the recent inclusion of Panama in its ‘Country Partner’ model.

Moreover, in the coming months, Panda’s international expansion plan will also see it strengthen its position in emerging markets such as China, Russia and India.

New strategy for the 25th anniversary

In the year of its 25th anniversary the company has adopted a new corporate identity that reflects Panda’s commitment to simplifying the apparently complex, through the concept of ‘Simplexity’. This concept underpins the company’s effort to provide new and improved solutions to safeguard users’ digital lives.

“Our mission is to offer users a simple, fast and effective solution, which is always the product of our innovation. Throughout these 25 years, Panda has never ceased to innovate and to be in the vanguard of technology. We are positioned as visionaries with the implementation of technologies like Cloud Computing or Big Data Analytics which were totally disruptive some years ago. Now we are looking ahead to another 25 years with energy and enthusiasm, and with the certainty that we have all the resources we need to continue leading the way”, explains Diego Navarrete, CEO of Panda Security.
