Virus Alert: Operation Aurora
2010-02-02 15:03:00 Beware of this new Trojan that spreads through the internet. It exposes a 0day vulnerability on Microsoft Internet Explorer (CVE-2010-0249) which steals information on corporate networks. It allows remote code execution on infected machines. What’s 0day? Well basically it’s a security hole that is discovered by geeks or hackers that there is no available fix or update yet. Microsoft rated it as Critical and they have already issued a fix on this Trojan. Affected versions are Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, 6, 7 and even Microsoft IE 8. You can view the full list of affected Microsoft Internet Explorers here and also download their updates/fixes on the issue. If you are using Microsoft IE to browse the web, I suggest you update it before everything else is too late. Or, use an open-source browser like Mozilla Firefox or use Google Chrome. There’s a bunch of free web browsers floating on the web, you just have to choose one. But I suggest those to I’ve just men...

Scientists to Evolve Viruses to Death
2008-11-11 22:49:00 Evolution, by the very meaning of the word, is generally thought to be a process that slowly unfolds over time, without outside interference. But now scientists from Rice University are trying to force certain viruses to evolve erratically, in an attempt to kill them. The technique is called "lethal mutagenesis," and while it may sound vicious, it could be a last resort of self-defense against contagious viruses that attack humans.

Five Out of Six Viruses Prefer MS Office
2008-05-12 00:01:00 Friends don’t let friends use Microsoft Office In doing some research (gasp! Say it ain’t so –ed) to substantiate what was apparently one of my more blasphemous remarks below, I did a quick search of the Kaspersky virus database and uncovered the following: Macro.Word97.Mdma Virus.MSExcel.Extras.a Virus.MSWord.Plain Virus.Multi.Esperanto.4733 Virus.MSWord.Archfiend Virus.MSWord.Mdma As I count them there are apparently 6 viruses in the Wild for OS X, and FIVE OF THEM use exploits found in Microsoft Office code (mostly macro-based). It is also interesting that the one NON-MS Office virus in the database was a cross platform virus that has uncertain attack vectors for the Macintosh. In full disclosure, it should be noted that these viruses seem to have been written for the previous version of Office, and I don’t know if they will affect Office 2008 or not. But since they are macro-based, they provide a great reminder to always, always, always disable ma...

Computer viruses hit one million

Worm Viruses - The Deadliest of All?
2008-04-09 18:21:00 There are three common kinds of malware: worms, viruses, and Trojans. Worms are the worst since they can function without human aid. Malware is considered to be software that is malicious.Like viruses, worms can copy themselves. However, unlike viruses, worms are entirely self contained. A virus needs to have a host program in order to spread while worms can propagate on their own.Worms can be developed to do a lot of harm, such as corrupting programs and deleting files. Most times worms will affect networks. A network uses routers and servers to function. The Internet is a huge organism of computer networks that all cooperate together.A server is much like a PC but generally faster, with more resources, and with more storage. Servers "serve" other computers by making certain resources available for more than one user. A router is a server that is specialized but just uses different operating systems and hardware to move traffic on the network.A worm can be put into a network and th...
Bell Canada's internet tops for viruses, spam: study
2008-04-09 13:39:00 I always love reading story's like this, especially when I'm using Bell Canada's internet service as we speak, but Sympatico Tech News (Bell Canada's internet service) is reporting that Bell's internet service is tops for viruses and spam. Hello, I'm a Mac.......The twice-yearly report from Symantec Corp., the producer of Norton Antivirus software, placed Canada ninth worldwide for malicious activity. The United States ranked first.The company, which collects details on malicious code from more than 120 million computers running its antivirus software and decoy accounts that collect spam, reported 711,912 new malicious code threats online in 2007, up 468 per cent from 2006, when it found 125,243. In Canada, Bell's internet users were responsible for 17 per cent of the malicious activity. Dean Turner, the Calgary-based director of Symantec's Global Intelligence Network, said this finding was not surprising."Honestly, I think it's just because they [Bell] are the bigge...

Hopefully Fleeting Brilliance (aka Viruses Can Suck It)
2008-04-08 07:30:00 This person feels awful. I have spent three hours trying to figure out something else to say other than "this person feels awful", but that's it. I worked on variations that went like "this person feels really awful" and "this person feels awfully terrible". I even attempted replacing "this person" with "I" to personalize it, but I was not up to the task.Then, my mind wandered, and I remembered that time when I was home sick with the flu and had mounted a little video camera on my bed's headboard.The previous sentence does not lead anywhere dirty, unless cat butts get you worked up.I had the video camera on my headboard trained on the cats while they were licking their butts, and I was broadcasting it on some video broadcasting thingy on the internet, and the people who ran the video broadcasting thingy on the internet were playing my live streaming cat-butt-licking channel on a large-screen television during a meeting.

The worst computer viruses of all time
2008-03-26 12:22:00 Â If you haven’t experienced a computer virus yet, just wait — you probably will. Fortunately, you missed the real heyday of computer viruses when anti-virus software wasn’t very widely used, and virus attacks caused millions of dollars in damages overnight. Today’s viruses can still be nightmarish, but for the average user, cleanup is considerably easier than it was just a few years ago, when the only solution in many cases was reformatting your hard drive and starting from scratch (and even that didn’t do the trick sometimes). So join me on a trip down memory lane as we revisit some of the worst viruses of all time and count our blessings that our computers are still up and running despite it all. (Though, please note, “worst” is a matter of considerable debate in the security industry, as the number of infected machines and amount of financial loss is always estimated. If you think another virus was worse than these. (more&hel...

Electronic gadgets latest sources of computer viruses
2008-03-14 03:45:00 March 14, CNNFrom iPods to navigation systems, some of today's hottest gadgets are landing on store shelves with some unwanted extras from the factory: pre-installed viruses that steal passwords, open doors for hackers and make computers spew spam.Computer users have been warned for years about virus threats from downloading Internet porn and opening suspicious e-mail attachments. Now they run the risk of picking up a digital infection just by plugging a new gizmo into their PCs.Recent cases reviewed by The Associated Press include some of the most widely used tech devices: Apple iPods, digital picture frames sold by Target and Best Buy stores, and TomTom navigation gear.In most cases, Chinese factories -- where many companies have turned to keep prices low -- are the source.So far, the virus problem appears to come from lax quality control, perhaps a careless worker plugging an infected music player into a factory computer used for testing, rather than organized sabotage by hacker...

Stop Viruses From Disabling Protection
2008-02-26 09:46:00 Some viruses protect themselves by blocking security Web sites, antivirus programs, and other tools that could be used against them, including Windows' System Configuration utility and Registry Editor. They cleverly block antivirus Web sites by altering your Hosts file, a text file with no extension that individual programs use to assign a specific IP address to a Web page. The Hosts file will be in a different folder depending on your operating system:Windows XP: C:Windowssystem32driversetcWind-ows 2000: C:WINNTsystem32driversetcWindow-s 98/Me: C:WindowsTo correct the problem, double-click the Hosts file and choose Notepad to open it. Delete any line in the file that refers to an antivirus Web site. Or you can simply delete the Hosts file and Windows will re-create it automatically with zero entries. Now browse to an online virus scanner to check your hard drive and remove the virus.
