Nowadays, the sheer number of malicious programs and software exploits has made it so that no computer is ever considered Internet worthy without an antivirus program. This is further complicated by the fact that Antivirus oftwares tend to be either expensive or not effective. Luckily, there is Avast 4 Home Edition, an antivirus that is as effective as the most expensive PC security suites, yet available for download free of charge. There are lot of free antivirus programs on the net but only few does the job that is needed to prevent viris and clean it once it gets infected. Avast 4 Home Edition has a lot of features that a user hopes needs to have in his anti-virus software. There are a lot of things that has been included in this software and Avast is intelligent enough to know where it should check, such as the overlooked places where viruses and other malicious files can possibly enter. These places include the following: - Web traffic; - Mail; - Peer-to-peer programs; and - Instant Messengers. Avast 4 Home Edition is very easy to configure which is especially beneficial for novice users or people who have no prior knowledge of how to set up antivirus programs. It also includes an Outlook Express archive unpacker which scans email attachments from Outlook Express, perfect for helping you weed out harmful attachments from real attachments that came from friends and family. This also gives you a much needed sense of security as you feel free to open any attachments without worrying if the person who sent the mail to you is infected. The main features included in Avast 4 Home Edition are: 1. Real-time protection: 2. On-Demand Scanner: 3. Web Shield: this monitors the incoming traffic from the Internet. 4. Email real-time protection: It monitors the incoming and outgoing emails from any SMTP, IMAP4 and POP3 email client. 5. Peer-to-peer programs: Checks the files being downloaded from Kazaa and BitTorrent. Also files from IM messengers specifically ICQ and Miranda are checked together with NNTP newsgroups. 6. Automatic Updates: Like other free antivirus software, this application checks for necessary updates. The updates are needed to make the application more robust when it comes to dealing with viruses and other malicious files. 7. Log viewer: The user will be able to review the threats that were detected by the software and the action taken. 8. Virus Chest: This is where the viruses nd other malicious files are placed or quarantined when it is not removed or cleaned. This prevents further infection and also allows avast to collect more information about the thread, making other PCs safer in the future against the threat in question. 9. Boot Time Scanner: The application scans the disks at the same time Windows does CHKDSK. 10. Antivirus Screensaver, which allows Avast to run and scan your system everytime you let your computer idle.

You can go to a corrupt porn web page, a corrupt website that promotes gambling, or you can open an attachment in a spam email. Any of those three ways will get you infected with WinDefender2009. On the porn and gambling related sites, WinDefender2009 will pretend to be a video codec or an ActiveX control. WinDefender2009 is new on the wild web. It is almost a funny thought that a fake Antivirus as upgraded itself, but that is the alarming reality. Once WinDefender2009 has its hooks into your computer you start getting alarming pop-ups tell you that your computer is infected. These pop-ups make the claim that only WinDefender2009 will remove you r infection. We have seen WinDefender2009 before. WinDefender2009 is a clone. The names WinDefender2009 has been known as in the past are TotalSecure2009, TotalSecure 2009 and Total Secure 2009. Once you click on the pop-ups your computer goes to a website with a fake scan. This fake scan will tell you files, which are really part of your operating system, are your infection. Sometimes the scan can name hundreds of files. This can be alarming for the uninformed computer user. We all want our computer to be healthy and work properly. So when faced with the possibility of such a large infection, the uninformed computer user can fall for the scam and purchase the full version of the software when suggested after the scan. When WinDefender2009 is “purchased” you have traded your credit card information in exchange for a bundle of spyware, malware and adware. So you have paid for an infection. No just an infection though–you have paid for an infection that is difficult to remove. The spyware will monitor your behavior for personal information, log ins and passwords, which it will send to the original programmers. The adware will monitor your browsing behavior and present you with pop-up ads for products and services it deems relative to your interests and browsing habits. Your pop-up blocker will be useless against these pop-ups. In addition, the malware will run in the background and affect your computer’s performance, making it slow to start up or shut down. Your system tray icons, background and screensaver will be changed. Legitimate system files, registry keys, and DLL files will go missing, causing you to get the “Blue Screen of Death.” WinDefender2009 is difficult to remove manually. If you miss any file, WinDefender2009 will reinstall itself on system startup. To deal with WinDefender2009 you need an anti spyware rogram, not an Antivirus If you already have one, but you still have WinDefender2009, you should contact the makers of your program. In most cases the software companies will make a fix for any new threats their users have found. If your program claims to have removed WinDefender2009, yet it fails to do so, look for an anti spyware rogram with a 100% removal guarantee. With new threats it can take months for all anti spyware spyware ompanies to come up with effective removal tools.

Computer program defence

Computer system defence is critical in contemporary and age of internet fraud, scams, spy-ware, and viruses. They are a real headache that all computer users must face. The monolithic dispute of Windows security is created by the volatile evolution of malicious software such as Trojans, key loggers, and root kits, associated with discreet disfavor of the traditional, signature established products. Your computer defensive measure is far too substantial to leave to luck. In short, the most all important thing to remember about Windows protection is to start with prevention.

Malicious codes

Windows viruses are fundamentally malicious codes alterations made to certain files that are spread-out to double on their own (say, when the host malicious scripts file is executed). This scripts look inside the personal computer for another server malicious codes, makes a re-create of itself, and introduce the bug inside a malevolent scripts. Heavy chances are that your PC contains computer virus, Trojans, ad-ware, and malware, and your infected system is being used, unknowingly to you, to circulate viruses through your office/home network every month, spamming out to them on an infected PCs mailing list, most likely, if your system is infected, it’s going to come from someone you recognize.

Viruses and spy-ware can falsely hide themselves as downloaded applications programme that you had never consider were harmful. Virus authors are genius creators, and they do their worst brilliantly. The number of viruses and bad natured programs out there is amazing. Massive creations of new of viruses and other vicious programs are set-up by the “black hat makers” average daily.

Deterrence

The basics of home PC security start with an anti-virus program and a firewall. Install anti-virus software. Anti-virus software discovers and removes viruses, which bond themselves to a program or file to spread from computer to computer. By setting up anti-virus software and keeping it cutting-edge, you are able to help maintain your computer detached from these destructive viruses and ward off spreading them to other computers. Scan your PC with your anti-virus software on a regular basis and be careful of what internet site you visit and of installing free software that they may offer.

Nearly all Virus and Trojan scanner software packages are well capable to detect malicious files but are not very effective in getting rid of them if they have it. Will it bar a computer virus from corrupting or destructing your crucial documents? Naturally, PC security software companies lay claim numerous anti-virus answers, both for personal PCs and business networks in advertising their products.

Anti-virus software packages

May we anticipate the anti-virus as “most proficient of the best”. Once a bran-new vicious virus is discharged onto the World Wide Web, no signature-based anti-virus programme will discovers them for a few hours up to many weeks. That is why in true life the operation of whatever anti-virus computer program is wondered on its usage conditions. Nearly detection only about 90 to 95% of entirely recognized viruses. The system may not even discover them. Secondly, virus software will rarely block hackers acquiring access to your computer. And once the computer is infected, can we find fault the Anti-virus because of that. No anti-virus can always be trusted on to commit 100% security. Just previewing a virus-laden content can infects your PC.

It is forever raises the wonder ‘how come anti-virus A is more beneficial than anti-virus B’. Re-examining whatever anti-virus is a difficult undertaking. Each anti-virus brand name on the securities industry has its enthusiastic supporters and infuriated haters. A few make of anti-virus software package is identified to cut back the performance of your PC to its knees, they also frequently causes PC break down and erratic program behavior.

Respectable anti-virus software runs down inbound e-mail, downloaded programs, and several other things that in affect get around your firewalls. But comfortingly, all the outstanding anti-virus software package suppliers have data alerts on their homepages, supply updates download to their virus list and program.

Are They Safe To Use? http://personal-anti-virus.com/AntiVirus/free-antivirus-vs-full-product-antivirus-programs-are-they-safe-to-use http://personal-anti-virus.com/AntiVirus/free-antivirus-vs-full-product-antivirus-programs-are-they-safe-to-use#comments Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:42:30 +0000 greatyd http://personal-anti-virus.com/AntiVirus/free-antivirus-vs-full-product-antivirus-programs-are-they-safe-to-use I have always been interested in trying new software for just about every application

you can imagine. I have also always been a big fan of free programs. There are a lot of free programs with varied applications but for now we will focus on only antivirus programs.

I have tried them all over the years and finally settled on two in particular. I can’t give the

names here but I still have a couple on my site. Have they let me down in the past, sure.

I have been through all stages of infection from a one run fix with my antivirus program

to a full wipe, reformat, and reinstall of the operating system. The latter will cost you time,

effort, the loss of your computer function, and probably a few gray hairs too! You see, if your computer becomes infected and you don’t address it right away, or maybe you didn’t

notice, bad things can happen. Without getting into too much technical detail a computer virus left unchecked will wreak havoc on your computer. The situation never gets better, only worse. The symptoms are only annoying at first but if not removed it can cause enough damage to render your computer inoperable, and if it gets into the boot files you can’t even turn it on. So you must weigh the cost factor of buying an antivirus program against the possible consequences you might face in the future.

    You might ask what the difference is between a free version and a full version. A free antivirus program is like a stripped down version of that company’s flagship version. You don’t have all the function and in many cases you don’t get the real time protection that can block a virus from getting on your computer.  I know you are thinking that the programs are getting better all the time but so are the virus programs. From personal experience I can tell you that the percentage of computers that are brought to me to repair for virus removal as increased dramatically. Right now it is especially bad. MY BEST

ADVICE to those of you with AVERAGE computer skills is to protect yourself as best you can. The money you save today could cost you ten times as much down the road.

    Let me give you an example. I built my son a computer when he was five. He just turned

nine and two months ago his computer had a terrible virus. He only GOES to SITES like cartoon network to play the games, or does a search for his favorite baseball player. I know

because we keep his computer in the dining room where we can see everything. Don’t YOU

TOO? Anyway, by the time he told me it was running slow, ( my fault for not checking ), the registry as so damaged that I had use his backup program to restore his computer.

This is OFF TOPIC but you should all have some kind of backup program. The lesson here is that you never know when a virus can strike so you should be as protected as possible.

Who would think I was capable of such revengeful thoughts about the parties responsible for inflicting my poor computer with spyware Well, after the trauma of having gone through such an experience for the first time, I was sorely tempted by the occult section of curses and witchcraft at my local bookstore. Growl!

Basically, I am a normal person using a home computer to perform simple normal tasks such as word processing, writing emails, internet banking, and surfing the Internet for useful information. Ok, I also have a weakness for looking for bargains on good old eBay (sheepish grin) and Paypal is quite a handy option for easy purchasing. Problem:

Great dismay and panic hit when my pc started popping up strange windows or messages. With my limited IT knowledge, I ran a Norton virus scan which obviously revealed a number of problems. But the Symantec removal tool did not remove the spyware and I could not even log onto a couple of password protected sites. My beloved pc was infected with some malware or adware or trojan, among which, I believe was WinFixer and a Trojan Vundo. I did not know how to get rid of Vundo or how to remove WinFixer. (Or perhaps they were the one and same thing?). But at that point, I did not know any better, so began the laborious task of searching for information on how to get rid of the spyware esearch:

From my search, I found out that the Trojan Vundo is a trojan horse that causes popups advertising rogue antispyware programs. For example, the program called Sysprotect is advertised in many of the popup windows as seen from the screenshot below. Vundo infects a computer by creating a DLL file in the Windows system directory and writes registry entries causing Windows to inject the file into winlogon.exe.

WinFixer, on the other hand, has siblings as it is identical to WinAntiVirus and ErrorSafe. And these programs all claim to repair problems within your computer system. By installing the program on your computer, you will likely end up receiving false information about your computer. Naturally, this will confuse you into believing your PC is infected with viruses, spyware and/or other forms of malware.

The popups and forced downloads apparently mirror “marketing” strategies of many spyware programs. And at times, infected computers will reduce in their level of speed and performance. Well, this all explained what was probably happening to my pc, and I knew I had to figure out how to get rid of WinFixer and Vundo before they drove me mad. Research and solution:

In my initial panic, I reacted by downloading some recommended antispyware programs, namely CounterSpy by Sunbelt Software, XoftSpy by ParetoLogic and Spy Sweeper by Webroot Software Inc. I came to my senses by the third program and stopped myself from paying for another popular program, Spyware Doctor. But hey, all these programs did receive pretty good reviews from the experts at PCWorld, PCMag, CNet, Tucows and AdwareReport. So at the time, I did not feel that I had gone too much overboard ;)

Now, there are many sites listing all sorts of free and paid antispyware programs with a variety of reviews and user opinions on how to remove WinFixer and how to get rid of Vundo. Many of the commercial antispyware program homepages also list very detailed features of their products plus the latest research findings about current spyware hreats. Have a look at this webpage that lists some of these reliable programs. www.consumerstyle.com/antispyware

Anyway, an opinion and recommendation I had read when researching for the reliable antispyware programs made heaps sense in that software you pay for is more likely to offer benefits over freeware, i.e., better support, more frequent updates and better pro-active protection measures. One just has to be careful when selecting the programs. According to the comments in the forums and review articles I read, many recommend using at least two programs to be able to catch the latest spyware that either program might miss (that was when I stopped myself from my downloading frenzy). I have learnt much more about my pc now and wish to share and perhaps amuse you my muddled but finally effective measures to cleaning up my pc and removing the spyware. My actions:

My initial Norton antivirus scan found but was not able to delete Vundo, even after rebooting. The Symantec removal tool did not help at all. I had disconnected from the Internet, disabled system restore, and ran the removal tool, regularly and in safe mode. After numerous startups, varying with safe mode, and disabling antivirus, I even tried to figure out how to remove Vundo manually without messing with the registry etc. Please note that some people had success with the Symantec removal tools, and some others, like me, did not. Apart from the Trojan Vundo, I was getting quite frustrated at not being able to remove WinFixer for the many windows continually popping up started to slow my computer down, and even freeze it at times.

So I first tried Xoftspy, which was the fastest when scanning my computer. I was pleased to have fewer pop ups, was able to remove WinFixer, and ended with a much faster internet connection.

Then with my next program, Spy Sweeper, I ran it twice and then did a full system scan. Lo and behold, Vundo was gone, no more popups and adware annoyances. I guess this might not work for everyone but it is worth a shot to download Spy Sweeper.

Being still paranoid about the health of my pc, I finally ran the the free two-week trial version of CounterSpy, for extra assurance. Now I was quite impressed as it also included a scheduler, secure file shredder, and a history cleaner that made it simple to set up weekly scans. And there are frequent definition file updates for CounterSpy’s publisher. The company seems to run a well-staffed spyware research department. After a scan, CounterSpy can delete, quarantine, or remove spyware. I was advised not to install Microsoft AntiSpyware alongside older versions of CounterSpy (version 1.5 and below). And it is recommended to get CounterSpy to check for online updates of definitions and program files manually.Conclusion:

To sum it all, XoftSpy was able to delete WinFixer as the program was able to uninstall WinFixer within fifteen minutes requiring a couple of restarts. As for Spy Sweeper, it managed to remove Vundo with ease. And I have no doubt that CounterSpy has done a great job of keeping my pc free of spyware. I cannot say that I have taken the best approach to solving my problems, but my pc is now running faster than ever and I have been free of WinFixer and Vundo ever since. I just have to remember to be more careful and scan my pc regularly.

One thing is for sure, there are many reliable and popular anti spyware rograms out there, and many helpful forum chat folk who can lend a hand with plenty of technical advice. You just have to sort out what advice and which steps to take by increasing your own awareness and understanding of your pc and the nasty world of spyware urking around these days.

Adding insult to injury, many malware can permanently disable your computer. Here are some tips for how to keep your computer up and running and free of spyware spyware adware and other malware.

• Run a spyware removal tool. Remember that many software that claims to remove spyware s actually spyware n disguise, so be wary and download antispyware only from reputable sources.

• Avoid Microsoft Outlook. This seemingly innocent program has so many unsavory security holes in it because of the great lengths it goes through to open and interpret your data, that it’s almost impossible to run without leaving your security door open for your PC to be infected by the next virus that comes out. Use an email managing system that has a good reputation and fewer adware problems. Check the internet to research the one that is best for you.

• Avoid Microsoft Internet Explorer for the same reason as Outlook.

• Keep all antivirus software up to date using the procedures that were included with it at purchase. Updates often are published daily, so update when one is offered.

• Stay current with your PC system updates. This is a high priority. If that fails, contact your manufacturer via Internet Explorer.

• Do not open an email attachment unless it’s from someone you trust, and from whom you’re expecting an attachment. Attachments should be sent separately from the email saying the attachment is coming. In other words, email your source that you will be sending an attachment in the next email, then email the attachment separately with a note. Ask senders to do the same for you.

• Use a firewall on all equipment that has this protection. If your Windows or browser box has the option of running personal firewall software, do it. You need multiple security layers, and this one is free and easy.

• Pick antiviral software with a good reputation. A computer expert can fill you in on the kind best suited for your PC. Please note that this software does not prevent the computer from getting viruses it merely cleans up some of them once the computer is infected.

• Never set up a network share from your system. This also applies to a shared printer or a shared drive. Contact an internet security person if you need a jolt of fear regarding this matter. That person will tell you that this is like leaving the door open after moving into a mansion full of priceless artwork after a community home showing.

If you factor your time and effort into the proper care and prevention of computer problems, and use award-winning antispyware to remove spyware spyware adware and malware, you will remain a worry-free driver on the internet super highway.

Do not read e-mails from people not knowing and always make sure your e-mail scanner is active.

Another way to network security, as the virus spread through computer networks. We have some tips to keep you safe. Always scan files from other computers. Even if a file you’ve brought from home. Do not allow a file stored on the network until is Digitized. The server must enable file sharing on your computer. By not allowing computer users to send files, you can neutralize a threat.

Yes, I can hear you saying, “don’t be such a downer, Doug”

Well, hear me out.

Lets explore John Lockes quote shall we?

Life. Yours, mine, your loved ones. Its yours, to do with what you will. Well, sometimes your will is to use the Internet’s. But how secure are you? Is your Antivirus AntiSpyware and Firewall working and up to date? Do you know what is a Spam email is and not to click on the URL they provide? These decisions can affect your life if you are online.

Next, Liberty or as I prefer to think of, Freedom. To have access to particular resources without constraint. If online threats are making your life hectic, would you consider your rights violated? I would if I found out that some drive by download had installed a keylogger on my computer and then cleaned out my bank account. Or how about while you’re trying to conduct business online and you keep getting these awful pop=ups telling you about the sale at Harveys Fish Emporium.

Are your Liberties/ Freedoms being constrained yet?

Now we come to the best part, the pursuit of spyware Ok, so John Locke didn’t say anything about spyware spyware Write your own article, this ones mine!

Threats to our online safety are growing in leaps and bounds by the day. I learned long ago, there is always someone out there who is better than anyone previously. The attacks on servers, the Bot networks, the phishing, the URL re-directs, Keyloggers, Image Spam, it just goes on and on. Your personal information is at risk every minute you are online.

I know, you have the best AntiVirus, AntiSpyware, and Firewall there is. But is it really? How do you know? When was the last time you ran “Hijack This” and uploaded the results to a help Forum like MajorGeeks, Bleeping Computer or DaniWeb? Its the only way to make sure your computer is clean. And theres no guarantee it wont become re-infected two minutes after you leave the Forum.I know it happens because I frequent these Forums and I see hundreds of freaked users pleading for help. Many are repeat submitters.

Which brings me to the whole purpose of this article. To bring into the spotlight those out there who fight everyday to help keep us safe. They sit at their computers for hours at a time, examining postings in Forums to help others they don’t even know stay out of the clutches of those who would benefit from the misfortune of others.

Ever get that feeling of helplessness that comes when your computer wont work right.

Remember? Not fun huh? These people read your postings and know your pain. Its hard to do this also, they have to help you fix your computer thru posting instructions for you to do. Miscommunication and frustrations can cause it to take longer and compound the repairs.

Then there are the organizations that go after the meanies that cause your pain.

They put out alerts and issue fixes. These include The Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals, The Anti-Spyware Coalition, The Council of Advocates for Relief from Malware Assimilation, The Spamhaus Project, just to name a few. There are plenty more out there that are fighting the good fight every day. The goal is a communication arena where all can participate without concern of malicious intent.

Kind of like the old days when the Internet first existed.

Back then there were “Hackers”. They were mostly driven by ego and competition to see who was the best. Now its mostly about money. Legions of Bot captured computers sending out Spam and ads going to millions and millions of unprotected servers, computers and of course, into your email. Theres also the Pharming of websites, waiting like a spider in its lair for you to show up and give you a lil driveby download of something special. You name the evil that people do and you can find it online. Thank goodness the goodness of the Internet’s is on the other side of the scale.

So, the solution? Make another one and try again? I don’t have the answer, I do know that there are good people out there who want safety for all and are making a good show of it. They deserve our thanks.

I believe there is alway bad that comes with the good. A balance or whatever. And like the other saying goes, Retaining Freedom for all requires constant vigilance.

So be vigilant.

Spyware was in headlines for the first time in 1999 when a freeware game called ” Elf Bowling” circulated with spying software along with it. Since then spywares are creating a havoc in the computer world. Some of the downloadable software comes with a licensing agreement that a spyware program will be installed along with the requested software. But most of us do not go through the agreement properly.
Spyware exists as independent executable programs. These malicious software have the ability to monitor keystrokes, change the default home page on the Web browser, read cookies, scan files on the hard drive, install other spyware programs and even spy other applications, such as chat programs or word processors. The spywares continuously relay this information back to the person who is spying. He will either use it for advertising/marketing purposes or sell the information to another party.
Steps of protecting your computer against spywares
Protecting against spywares is very essential to safeguard personal identity and other vital information. There are four essential steps that are essential to safeguard your computer against this malicious software.
Updating the operating system regularly
Installing an anti virus software and updating it regularly
Utilizing the firewall software
Utilizing the anti spyware software
Regularly updating of the operating system
It is always essential to install all security related programs as soon as possible. One of the best ways to do it is by utilizing the automatic update option in the computer. But the problem with this is if the computer components are not genuine but pirated ones, then the automatic updating of the operating system may work. So one has to buy genuine parts and software and keep updating regularly
Installing anti virus software
Anti virus software prevents viruses from getting attached to the programs in the computer and prevent them from corrupting the files. Many reliable anti virus software are available some of which are downloadable for free from the net. But one should regularly update the antivirus software to prevent danger from newer virus threats.
The Firewall utility
Hackers use viruses and Trojan Horses to find unprotected computers and access them to delete information, steal personal information or corrupt the files. Firewall security prevents these hackers from doing these. Three types of firewall security are available
Hardware routers: for home networks connected to internet
Wireless routers: for wireless network
Software firewalls: for single computers
The Anti spyware software
The antispyware software protects the computer from those spying the web browsing habits of the victim, will prevent unwanted pop up windows and prevent uninitiated changes in the computer settings.
