Paying ransom for … your own files?

Kevin R. — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:34:48 +0000

Have you ever wondered how much your personal files are worth to you? Pictures, documents, e-mails. They all belong to a huge list of things you just don’t want to lose. A newly created worm takes advantage of this: by locking up your computer until you have paid ransom for the release of it.

The prices are higher the more files are on your computer, so business managers might do good installing some specialized software against these hostage situations. My recommended solutions can be found in this previous post, no one likes to wake up one day seeing only a screen saying a price and a number to dial…

Rogue MP3 Trojan streaks across P2P networks

There is a new trojan on the loose that is spreading like a real worm, spreading through P2P, over half a million computers are known to be affected and have become spreaders themself. Both McAfee and Norton Internet Security have no clue on stopping it, thank god for the alternatives: one of my own computers had been a host for the worm for two weeks until I scanned it with MicroAntivirus.

Getting rid of viruses is only step one

Being permanently protected from them is what it’s all about.

I, personally, have tried lots of different antivirus software programs and compiled a list of software I’d recommend best, but still there were only two that popped out and this time, it isn’t crappy AVG or Norton, the things that are known for making your system unstable as hell.

The first one is without a doubt Microantivirus:

I love MicroAntivirus because of its new structure of scanning, instead of rebuilding their list of files constantly, MicroAntivirus builds a database of files and their structure, to recognize viruses very, very quickly.

And then a good second, for when you have annoying pop-ups all over the place on your screen: AdwareBot

AdwareBot is a very powerful tool against spyware and dialers. It is particulary known for being faster than the more widely known tools such as Ad-Aware. If you’re not fully convinced, please note they offer a 30 day FREE trial!
