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 has 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 your 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 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 antispyware program 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.

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, 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.

These malicious programs are written to silently bypass your anti-virus programs and firewalls. Fortunately, these spyware programs don’t replicate themselves as do viruses and worms.

In most cases, spyware s installed by the user when they install a freeware or shareware program. Once it is downloaded, the program begins collecting information for the spyware riter’s use or for him to sell to a third party. P2P programs are renowned for downloads that possess spyware.

Whenever you download a program, you should always pay attention to the small print. Often, the publisher states that a spyware rogram is included and there are also some that carry an opt-out box that you can tick to stop the spyware rom being included in your download.

Sometimes, spyware can access your computer through the practice of manipulating security features that prevent unwanted downloads. These programs are designed so that even if you choose the button to stop the download, the spyware program will start.

The third common method of spyware nfection is through attacking security holes in the browser or other software programs. When you go to a webpage that is controlled by a spyware writer, there is code that attacks the browser and forces the installation of spyware.

spyware s malicious and can perform a number of tasks on your computer, ranging from annoying to aggressive in nature. Spyware can:

• Scan your hard drive for files

• Monitor keystrokes for reporting

• Look through applications on your desktop

• Read your cookies

• Steal credit card and other personal information

• Deliver pop up advertisements

• Change default settings

• Mutate into second generation of spyware

• Slow down your computer

to prevent your computer from being attacked by spyware, there are a couple of steps you can take.

Buy a reliable anti- spyware rogram such as AdAware or Windows Anti spyware /p>

Alternatively, use the antispyware software as part of an antivirus package such as Norton, McAfee, or Symantec.

Anti-spyware software provides real-time protection, scanning and removal of any spyware hat is found on your computer. Make sure you update your antivirus software regularly.

Internet Explorer itself is often to blame for the spyware problem because the spyware programs often attach to it through its weaknesses. This has led to many users switching to other browsers but if you are continuing to use Internet Explorer, then you need to update the security patches on a regular basis. Also, when downloading programs, only download from a reputable source.

If however, your computer has been infected with a lot of spyware, you may have no alternative but to backup your data and completely reinstall the operating system.

Since you’re looking at this article, you are probably acquainted with the severe penalties of your PC being infected by a virus or by spyware, but do you know how an anti-virus program actually works? A knowledge of how thi s kind of software works can help you to choose the correct protection program for your computer.

In the beginning, anti-virus software was invented to focus on and get rid of malware, specifically viruses, but with the passing of time, as the criminals developed more complex malware, so the defenses against computer infection matched the sophistication of the attacks. Nowadays, most Anti-virus software will protect against spyware adware, worms, trojans and a host of other kinds of attacks and infections which could infect your personal computer system.

There are basically two methods used by Anti-virus software to defend your PC: scanning files and scrutinizing suspicious activities (also known as the Heuristic Method).

Scanning Files

In the scanning approach, it accesses a database of known virus code and uses it to compare the suspect code on your PC to this known threat. That’s why it’s essential to keep your anti-virus’s program up-to-date, because it can only compare already identified malware against your files. New malware is constantly appearing on the Internet and only a regular update of your threat database will ensure that your PC is clean.

When it has been established that your PC is infected by a known virus, your anti-virus application can initiate defensive measures, which may take the form of any of three different actions:

-           Repair the damaged area. Your anti-virus program will try to remove the threat by removing the virus

-            Segregate the infected code. The anti-virus program will stop the infection from growing by making the infected code inaccessible to other applications

-           Delete the file. The anti-virus program will eradicate the affected file and the virus with it.

The method described above requires the PC owner to regularly update their virus database so that any newly discovered threats can be tackled.

Scanning is usually initiated when the operating system receives or sends and email or opens and closes a file, or launches a new program. It is strongly recommended, however, that a regular schedule of scanning your entire system be set up at a pre-defined time. This need not interrupt your work on your PC, as you can schedule the system scan to begin in the middle of the night, when you’re asleep.

The Heuristic Process

This methodology is unlike the scanning approach in that, instead of comparing files to known viruses, it scrutinizes the activities of code on a PC. If unwanted conduct is detected (and the current crop of advanced anti-malware programs can separate innocuous activity from potentially damaging actions, then a pre-defined range of responses is activated. The response can range from asking the PC owner how to proceed, all the way up to automatically deleting the offending code.

Heuristics offer the ability to defend against unknown sources of infection, purely based on the way that they behave. Heuristic-based programs can knock out threats before they can cause any damage.

Both methods are effective and some anti-malware programs are combining these approaches so that you, the user, can benefit from the best of both worlds.

Norton Antivirus has been in existence since 1990, and since then a growing number of people have come to rely on the Norton name to protect their computers from virus attacks. In fact, Norton Antivirus is considered the most widely used antivirus softwar e in the world today.

Over the years, Norton Antivirus has constantly underwent upgrades as a means of trying to improve on its ability to detect a growing number of viruses that are being spread. Additionally, each generation of the software incorporates several new features and services as a way of making it more effective in its task of detecting and eliminating (or quarantining) viruses as well as turning it into a more robust application. For example, in recent years, Norton Antivirus has begun to incorporate the detection not only of viruses but also of Trojan horses, spyware and worms as a direct response to the growing proliferation of these potentially harmful pieces of malware.

With the release of Norton Antivirus 2007, users should expect to see another set of new features that will help it remain the top of its class when it comes to virus protection. One of the biggest changes in the 2007 version over the previous 2006 version is the decision of the Norton Antivirus team to rewrite much of the code for the application. The result of this overhaul is a faster and lighter version of the antivirus software. Rewriting the code also meant that the interface was streamlined as well. Unlike the previous version, where each task appeared in a separate desktop window, the 2007 version wisely uses tabs inside just one window, which makes it much easier to manage.

Under the hood, Norton Antivirus also benefited from the code rewrite. For instance, the virus scan and the spyware scan now run simultaneously, which drastically cuts down on scanning time. Norton Antivirus 2007 also incorporates many of the functions of Norton Personal Firewall, which means the application can now also double as a “light” firewall.

Another very important feature of the new version of Norton Antivirus is the incorporation of enterprise level anti rootkit functions. This powerful level of protection against rootkits is well worth the price of the software especially with the growing prevalence of rootkit based attacks on computers. Overall Norton Antivirus 2007 is still arguably the best Antivirus rotection one can get, and the new version was definitely worth the wait unlike previous versions which disappointed.
