make sure you're up to date w/your anti-malware program on all your computers. There's a rather nasty version set for release 4/01, esp if you do
buying and banking over the interwebs

info on the Conficker worm | #6 | ||
|
Posts: 36 03/31/09 10:42 AM |
This site will
tell you all you need to know about it. If you suspect an infection, run one of the free tools listed at the bottom. The Eset tool is good. Conficker is
basically an XP problem. Although Vista and 7 can technically become infected, it's practically impossible for the code to execute on Vista or 7.
Also, the best anti-virus software currently on the market can be found here. You've probably never heard of it. They don't advertise, other than in IT trade publications. They don't have to advertise. They're that good. It's worth every penny of $39.99 a year (for NOD32 anti-virus 4). The Smart Security is slightly more expensive. They give you a 25% break on the price if you buy two years. edited to add a disclaimer: no, I don't work for Eset. I am in IT, though.

If I start my computer and I see this on my screen at some point ....
NOD32 anti-virus 4 ... along with some weird Borg-looking anthropomorphic androgynous robot shit ... Is it your opinion that I'm good to go?

affirmative, maverick. you can bring the program to the desktop by clicking the little green eye down on the taskbar (lower right hand corner of screen). It
will tell you your PC's status, and you can do manual scans and updates from there, as well. It will automatically update itself (as long as it's
registered). If you want to know how to set up an automatically scheduled scan in it, just PM me.

download, install, and update these programs:
SUPERAntispyware after installing it, open Preferences and Click the Scanning Control tab.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware no special instructions Spybot Search & Destroy - Don't enable the tea timer, or any of the other crap that it tries to enable. you have a choice to uncheck the boxes when it installs. Just install it as bare bones. For XP machines only ComboFix Here's a complete guide on how to use it. How to use ComboFix OK...after installing and updating SUPERAntispyware, Malwarebytes, and Spybot, boot into "Safe Mode". To do this, press the F8 key when you see the BIOS screen (the Dell logo, HP logo, Gateway logo, etc...). If you know the password, boot in as administrator. If not, just boot into the regular account. Run the previously installed SUPERAntispyware & Malwarebytes in safe mode. Make sure you do a FULL system scan with both, and not a quick scan. After they are done, boot back into regular windows mode. Run Spybot. Now, boot back into safe mode once more, and run Combofix (for XP machines only). If ComboFix tells you that you need "Windows Recovery Console", let it download it from the net and install it. It's painless. You have to disable or uninstall your anti-virus for ComboFix to run successfully. It digs deep into the Operating system kernel, and the anti-virus doesn't like that. After this is complete, reboot your machine into regular mode. Click on the start button, right click on "My Computer" (Computer if in Vista), come down to "properties" and click it. Find the System Restore tab, put a check in the box to disable System restore. After it finishes disabling it (takes a minute or two) reboot your machine. Now, go back to the System Restore tab per the instructions just above, and re-enable System Restore by removing the check mark. This cleans out any Viruses or malware that might have replicated itself in the System restore files. I also run a scan with NOD32 after these malware scans are complete. You can download a trial version at http://www.eset.com . Usually don't find anything significant, though. The previously mentioned ones are pretty thorough. Especially ComboFix. It's bad ass. Now, you have a clean system! That'll be $90, please

SUPERAntispyware, not superantivirus. It's not an anti-virus program that runs in resident mode. It's merely a scanner, that will clean it, after
the fact. It runs in conjunction with your anti-virus, not in place of it. They DO, however, have a version (not free, of course) that has resident
protection, which will protect you on the fly, as you surf. Still, it's not a replacement for good anti-virus.

Do you only use the freeware/shareware versions of these programs? Or do you need to purchase the full versions?
Thanks for some great info. |
