Microsoft’s past attempts at protecting Windows users from malware have been patchy at best. However, with Windows 10 the company is offering a new way to help protect its customers from dynamic script-based malware and other forms of cyber-attack. AMSI (Anti-malware Scan Interface) is an interface standard that allows applications and services to integrate with any existing anti-malware product on your PC. Those apps can cal l the new Windows AMSI APIs at any time to scan for malware. Microsoft explains, "Malicious software that uses obfuscation and evasion techniques on Windows' built-in scripting hosts will automatically be inspected at a much deeper level than ever before, providing additional levels of protection". Apps can use AMSI to scan files, memory or streams, perform content source URL/IP reputation checks, and employ other techniques to identify malicious behavior. Microsoft envisions communication apps using it to scan instant messages for virus

App stores such as the iTunes App Store, Google Play, BlackBerry World, and the Windows Phone Store are meant to be safe havens for apps and its users where thanks to the review efforts, apps that are published in these stores follow a certain guideline and are generally malware-free, versus apps found on third-party stores.

It also detailed how they planned on using Samsung’s app store to perform similar operations, although to date it is unclear as to how far along their plans are, or if it was e

South Korean authorities introduce new regulations over smartphones usage.

New software is intended to block access to pornography, send a child's location data to parents and issue an alert when a child searches keywords such as 'suicide', 'pregnancy' and 'bully' or receives messages with those words. The measure is reported to slowly come into force over the next few years as it doesn't require old smartphones be updated, but most schools in South Korea send out letters to parents encouraging them to install the software anyway.
