Security Firm Kaspersky Lab Creates Ipod Virus

I was online, and then a friend sent me that file, and I accepted it because he's been wanting
to send me a program that improves the resolution of the screen. But then my email address was in
the file name, so I asked him what that was. To my horror, he said 'virus', but it was too
late, I already opened it and then several chat screens popped-up, and it was auto-sent to some of
the friends on the contact list. Luckily i was quick enough to ask them not to click on it. And my
norton internet security and microsoft anti spyware program detected it and asked ...

I found out that AVG Free version isn't eliminating even trojan viruses. I only have this free
version from protecting my system. Is it okay to install one more anti-virus software on top of this
AVG Free version which is already installed and updated to the latest version? I have the option of
installing Norton Anti-virus 2005. Will it cause any problem since the two softwares may use the
same source from the computer, if I install this one? Do you recommend that I should uninstall
first the existing software and install the new one? Will Norton Anti-virus 2005 ...

Hi Guys, Lately I have had this same annoying pop-up dialog box pop up that says: QUOTE NOTICE:
If your computer has been running slower than normal, it may be infected with Viruses, Adware, or
Spyware. Adwareremover2007 will perform a quick and completely FREE scan of your system for
malicious programs. Download AdwareRemover2007 for FREE now! I have scanned it with Avira
AntiVirus and ad-aware2007. They both returned infected files, which i deleted, but i still have the
pop-ups. Any ideas?...

I have AVG anti-virus on my PC, and a few weeks back it found a trojan virus on my pc. It put it
into the virus vault but could not heal it. How do I completly remove a trojan virus? Or even can
I? Do I have to download specific software to remove it, or is there some more complexe way of
going in to the system?...

ok, so a few days ago I was away from msn and when i got back i had a message from a friend on
msn..it was a link that said somthing along the lines of "hey is this really you" and listed my
email address..I clicked on the link stupidly and when i did that I got a window that said "run or
save" i didn't click on either of those, I actually restarted my laptop, but since i did that,
every time i log on I get that run/save message popping up. I am unable to fully use msn on my
computer. I cannot receive webcams and my msn is freezing frequently. /mad.gif" style="verti...

Hey guys all of a sudden in the last two days my computer has just been attacked by all types of
malicous software! and im not even kidding when almost instantly it went from running with out a
hitch to so much slow down and so many pop ups i had to run avg. 648 virus and trojans! All deleted
or moved to the vault, thought i was out of the woods than i ran adaware 202 Critical and malicous
objects I deleted them then i ran adaware again got over a hundred bad things again after the
restart and then ran adaware as well and after deleting over 1000 bad things I was still ...

**waits for everyone to stop laughing so hard** That is my reaction as well know when it comes to
security and Microsoft they know as much as I do and that is sad and as for the headlines about
their anti-virus program, code name Morro to be a threat to everyone else, unlikely. If it is
anything like Windows Defender then I am glad there are better alternatives out there such as AVG to
at least provide some protection and the simple fact that it most likely will be running some sort
of windows files I doubt it will take long for someone to crack it open and start provi...

I've only ever to my knowledge and my antivirus' knowlegde downloaded and ran 1 virus, I
thought that people who regurlarly seem to download them should be kept far far from a computer, as
far as possible I'm not talking tracking cookies i mean full blown virus' because people
seem to say it like its a normal thing, sorry i downloaded a virus on my pc. it really shocked me.
So i am asking how many times have you infected your computer. and what steps did you take to get
rid of it, i used widows restore, the best antivirus of all!!!...

Hello Everyone, I am setting up a wireless network for my house, im finally getting rid of the
dial-up (cost justified it). My cable line will be installed soon, and I am going to wireless
network it so my two desktop PCs can share the Internet access. I've heard the mysterious
security issues, but most of them seem pretty obvious that you have to be ignorant to overlook, like
changing the admin password on your router, etc. Anyway, what I am getting at here is a question:
do you have any tips for securing a wireless network? Thanks! ...

QUOTE INTRODUCTION Secunia has tested the ability of various high-profile Internet Security
Suites to detect exploitation of vulnerabilities. For a long time, we have been quite convinced that
anti-virus products would exhibit poor performance in this discipline, given the name
“anti-virus” which suggests a limited focus (though customers may still expect to be
protected). This is why secunia decided to test some more “high-end” product bundles
that are being marketed as comprehensive Internet Security Suites, thus leaving the impression tha...

i already tried looking this up on the internet but to no avail since most of the literature there
seems to be outdated. A lot of the literature i read after googling "iexplore.exe virus" says that
it can be a virus if it's not run from the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ folder.
What's happening to my system is that iexplore.exe runs from that folder however, it does so
when internet explorer is not actually running! Furthermore, i have a new process running in my
processes list, rundll32.exe. I know this for a fact because I actually committed to memor...

I clicked on a fake instant message from my daughter 4 months ago. Clicked on a link that was

A pair days ago I read this new on Slashdot: cPanel Exploit Used to Circulate IE Exploit
QUOTE "In a dangerous combination of unpatched exploits, hackers have used a previously
undiscovered security hole in cPanel to hack the servers of a hosting company and use hundreds of
hijacked sites to infect Internet Explorer users with malware using the unpatched VML exploit.
cPanel, whose hosting automation software is used by many large hosting companies, has issued a fix.
It's a local exploit, meaning the attacker must control a cPanel account on the target hosti...

I saw this white paper and I thought I bring down some interesting information that has come from
2007 and leading into 2008. I have to say though that the information on this white paper is pretty
darn mind blowing as I bounce some facts to everyone. Of course since I been getting into this
since last year it is not all that surprising since I posted many topics about it as well.

-Only about 1 in 5 of these sites is a hacker site -83 percent are hacked sites, or legitima...

Before I go into this topic I have to say, stop making up these crazy names. I know I just getting
into the security side of things but still as long as there are computer problems and ways to sucker
someone into downloading the stuff, the crazy names will still live on. QUOTE Lieware
ADVERTISEMENT In 2007, there was a lot of "rogue anti-virus software," which is sometimes also
referred to as "fake anti-virus software." But these terms are confusing because there's too
much negation going on. Fake anti-virus software is not anti-virus software at all. So what ...

Well I have to same I am bit surprise on this security flaw especially what it can do; in which all
a user has to do is open a malicious Excel document and it allows the hackers to execute remote code
on to your system. As far as how wide spread this vulnerability is, it hits every excel software
from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003 SP2, and it also includes the Mac Version of Excel 2004 as well. OF
course with the disappointment of Office 2007 by some people will still be running the 2003 versions
on their computers. Right now the attacks are minimal and the question for t ...
