Hello, I have a lot of doubts about Microsoft... One of them is if Microsoft use spyware in the Windows platform... I said this because when I connect my computer to the internet, a lot of hidden processes start to work... What is the function of these processes? I want to really know...

Removable storage devices such as USB flash memory has simple plug-and-play design that allows you to easily and quickly transfer and store data. However it also makes virus and spyware spread easily. Many viruses transmit via USB drives by utilizing system Autorun features. To do this a virus first copies itself and the "autorun.ini" file into removable disk. When you plug your removable disk into your PC, the system reads the autorun.ini first, then it runs the virus executable file

[quote]Finally I get to talk about [url="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/140226"]Mac and its security weakness[/url], and yes the security of Mac computers are weak because of the fact Microsoft has always been targeted.

[b]Dear Friends, I use Windows XP Pro SP1. When I connect to the Internet, a Notification box comes with countdown of 60 Seconds saying that "This System is shutting down. Please save the work and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown is initiated by NT/Authority System (Remote procedure call has shutdown unexpectedly)". And after the countdown, the system Restarts. This occurs very often. First of all what is NT/Authority system?. Is this is a hacking or a virus or
Well there is another fast and up and coming virus on the world computer networks but it would seem that this virus could be a dud or so people thought thus the confusion with this worm. The work has other alias's which include Downadup and Kido and as for the package that it delivers it would seem to be a rather disturbing one or common attacks you chose, but it disables the following services: Windows Automatic Update, Windows Security Center, Windows Defender, and Windows Error Reporting
Conflicker Worm: Possible April 1st Payload
Well April 1st is coming and the hot topic today is Conflicker Worm, and its latest version of C, some expets believe Conflicker might leave a payload on April Fool's day. The problem with this latest version of Conflicker is this, version A would use 250 domain names in which was manageable by those trying to control it, however, Conflicker C is said to use up to 50,000 domain names a day.

As many of you are aware that Phishing is a kind of social engineering attack in which the hacker creates a fake webpage and redirects the user and thereby gets some sensitive data, Now if some one wants to create an antiphishing algorithm or a tool , the first step is that he/she has to practice Phishing , here practice means , he/she has to be perfect in accomplishing Phishing so that an effective antiphishing tool can be developed.

Army Computers Being Infected By The Conflicker Worm
I was reading some news today and found out that in Germany, thousands of military computers were infected by this worm, how can they be so stupid? Who got the idea of having M$ crap in army? I thought they have their own operating systems that are customized to not be hacked or at least they would have a proper antivirus! They could even use free avast to stop this damn worm! Anyway, i also found out that sme laptops in Finland's army system have been infected too, but not many
Hackers Hijack A Half-million Sites: Phpbb Forum Users Must Read
Since January, hackers have hit hit over 500,000 website, with everything you could possible imagine; viruses, trojans, malware etc etc. As for the types of websites, sadly to say, these websites who are getting hit are running PHPBB forum and the worse part is htey don't mention which version of the phpbb forums are getting hack. So it is safe to say any version below 3.0 is hackable and maybe even 3.0 itself. As for some of the stuff that is being transmitted are old and new, but one tr

This is an urgent advisory to all of you out there. The issue is surrounding reader_s.exe and the false information on removal. This file [i]is not[/i] the issue, it is the [i]product[/i] of the issue..... In simple terms, reader_s.exe is not a virus upon initialization which is why your Anti-virus and firewall can't find it. I have taken the time to produce a full explanation in simple english and instructions on how to remove it as well as re-building the system safely without re-infectio
Microsoft To Provide Free Anti-virus Software
**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
Conficker Worm Update: We Have Twins
Well it seems Conficker has a twin sister, thought about going twin brother but nah, anyway, it seems the creators of Conficker B decided to do an upgrade every since the Conficker Consortium busted this worm wide open and crack the algorithm that Conficker uses to send and recieve data. Basically the updated worm was created so it could bypass the CC attempts to keep it under control but that is only speculation, since the CC have been buying up domains Conficker has been communicating with.

This site is an Idea of Kevlarr, an developer trained from 3 agents from SDL (Security Development Lifecycle), to fight against the league of Malicious Code. The strips are a little unusual and weird, but on this site, you can learn from professional

Firefox 2 Antiphishing Is Gone
Well it seems that it is time for you Firefox 2 users to upgrade to Firefox 3, because it seems Google has disable the feed that updates the Firefox 2 about websites that are phished websites. Granted I doubt everyone is gullible enough to believe every email they read, well some people will believe those emails, and so depending on your surfing habits I doubt it will affect you this much if keep yourself aware of the dangers of some websites. Either way I recommend that Firefox 2 users upgrad
Conficker Worm Sinks French Navy Network
Wow talk about a complete shocker, that alone shows you someone knew what they were doing when they program this worm/virus. Obviously if you read the story it would seem some people don't pay attention to computer security as much as they should. I wouldn't put blame on the entire French Navy but it could have been a lot worse if entire country's military network was completely infected. However, something in that article really caught my eye and that was the fact that a simple f
Today i came across one site called shareware.pro which is scam site which sells freeware software at 5 Euro. Anyone have idea where to report these scam sites? You can browse that site and can see it created duplicate pages for avast/utorrent/windows live messnger/nero etc. I reported this site to : phishtank.com and Web of trust (Firefox plugin) So if you know any reporting services where you can report phish/spam/scam do let me know.
