[dba-Tech] Rumors: Will the [Start] button be brought back inMS Windows 8.1?

Hi Gustav:

You can use this to test whether a/the site has been blacklisted for any
reason. There are so many reasons this could happen and these reasons are
not always caused by the sites creators...it could just be a false positive
but I have not investigated further.

Check this out:

(I have used the site's IP address so the tests will be easy to run.)

Hi Shamil

I have no info why CSIS's secure DNS service is blocking that site but I'm
confident it is for a reason; CSIS is _the_ authoritative security source
here.

 Hi Gustav --

Thank you for your warning.
I have just installed it today after reading TechCrunch article.
I have tried to google/bing using your quote but I didn't get any results.*
Do you have a link on info why pokki.com was blocked by CSIS Secure DNS?
As far as I see pooki is reviewed and is available to download from many
sites as e.g. CNET.
BTW, nod32 antivirus I have here didn't warn me anyhow during pokki setup.

Yes, as far as I see pokki does hook keyboard input (e.g. blocks Ctrl+Esc
and displays its own "Start" menu instead), so potentially it can be used
for phishing if hijacked by other malicious apps...

Thank you.

about MS Windows may sound hilarious there? :) BTW, that subject news could
be a humor kind of  news posting as they start with a sentence " Our long,
national nightmare is over..." :) If seriously some folks here and there
argued that absence of the [Start] menu would be one of the main reasons for
them to not upgrade to Win8 so if Win8.1 will bring the [Start] button back
that folks will have one reason less to avoid upgrading to Win8 (well, they
will find others no doubt - and I'm not advocating for Win8 upgrading here.)
I'd note I have used Win8 for almost half an year now (mainly in desktop
mode) and I haven't found any need in [Start] button.
