1. What's the next security threat?

    Date: 04/17/06 (Security)    Keywords: software, virus

    Gone are the days of simple worms and viruses. Now botnets and phishing dominate malicious software--and new twists are on the way.

  2. Trojan masquerading as windows update

    Date: 04/20/06 (Computer Geeks)    Keywords: software, browser, css, html, technology, database, asp, java, security, virus, web, spyware, microsoft

    *Running xp sp2

    Everyday for the past two weeks I notice the update icon pop up on my task bar always set at 6%. It pops up multiple times during the day. I scanned with panda, mc afee, avast, and it shows nothing but i'm pretty certain it's a trojan. On Sygate firewall I notice lots of activity...packets sent and ports scanned, etc during that time also.

    Also important to note: I turned off automatic updates and it still pops up.

    Any help on isolating the trojan or advice would be appreciated.

  3. More computer trouble

    Date: 04/25/06 (Computer Geeks)    Keywords: virus, web, spyware

    So awhile back my computer was running super slowly, so I got a virus/antispyware program, ran it, and wiped out all the spyware and crap. Then, after that, my internet stopped working, so I tried several things which didn't work. I assumed that when the spyware was deleted, it also deleted an important file that the spyware was attached to, so I reinstalled windows. However, it's still not working, but it's acting differently than before I reinstalled windows. Before that, it was acting as if there was no connection at all. Now, it's saying that there's a connection detected, and it starts counting the time it's "connected." However, when I try going to a website, it doesn't work.

    One more thing. When I plug in the wire to connect to the internet, the green and yellow light are on. And I have DSL.

    Does anyone have suggestions?

  4. Miserable crawling 10 month old laptop.

    Date: 04/26/06 (Computer Geeks)    Keywords: software, browser, virus, antivirus, spyware

         I have a C3500 averatec. It's been crawling lately, and I can't figure out exactly why..
         I've been taking good care of the laptop since I knew there would be no free legitimate way I could reinstall windows XP tablet onto this machine (no CDs came with the laptop, or so I remember.) But nonetheless the laptop is getting a little bit more unbearable everyday:

    The computer starts to crawl randomly if I copy and paste something big (such as a photoshop file, lengthy amounts of text, or sometimes even screenshots). Sometimes it recovers, sometimes it doesn't. It used to recover all the time. I can use it normally, but nowadays I seem to be shutting it off by holding down the power button because the laptop becomes very very slow to repond, rather than shutting it off properly.

    The laptop usualy starts to crawl after 4~5 hours of use, which consists mainly of firefox, trillian, and ultraedit(text editor). Once in a while I also play a 3D game called RagnarokOnline and use photoshop to draw stuff. Gaming or using photoshop doesn't effect when the laptop gets sluggy - it seems to be kind of random. I didn't install any file sharing programs on the laptop except bittorrent original.

    I scanned for spyware and ad-ware using spybot, ad-aware, and I ran hijackthis to make sure no strange browser help objects were installed. Nothing.

    I also checked in windows registry to make sure only what was needed was running and made sure nothing else was starting up when windows starts through msconfig. Nothing suspicious there..

    I also removed everything but two shortcuts (antivirus and a gamma correction software written by adobe) in the Startup folder in the start menu.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox since at first the computer was freezing up mostly when I was leaving firefox open for long periods of time, but later I realised that it was freezing equally as much when I'd try to use a file browser to look at what files I have in a folder. I tried turning file indexing back on hoping that would help explorer list files faster, but so far I don't feel any difference.

    I've spend the past few weekends checking for errors on the hard disk and defragmenting the data on it. Currently 20GB out of the 74.5GB available is empty. Defragging didn't lessen the crashes, and no errors were reported from disk error checking. I used the disk checker and disk defrager that was included with windows XP to do these tasks.

    Usually when the laptop crawls, the hard disk light goes blink.. blink.. blink.. and all buttons become unresponsive. The curser usually still moves, but the momement will be jerky. The screen stops responding to clicking, and then once in a while it lets out angry long beeps as if I clicked the desktop 100 times in 2 seconds.

    The laptop used to have a overheating problem but now that I open it up once  a season to clean out the innards, the heat problem is almost gone. The laptop still gets burning hot during gaming, so I try not to game for more than 15 minutes at a time.

    The laptop is about 10 months old. I dropped a few times and have a corner chipped, but nothing seemed to be wrong with it right after the drops. The specs are kind of like this:


    I thought the RAM amount was 512MB, but it shows up as 480MB.. I'm puzzled.
    Maybe it was always like this.


         So I'm thinking.. is it just time to reinstall windows?

  5. The nature of SMTP virus detection

    Date: 04/27/06 (IT Professionals)    Keywords: virus, antivirus

    I have a question about SMTP mass mail viruses.

    My client is running Symantec Corporate Antivirus with AV Exchange as well.

    In the last two days the system has reported a small flood of virus infected attachments coming from inside the SMTP transport.
    As far as i can tell, the system is saying the viruses are coming from inside the network.

    The "from" addresses are all bogus but of course contain the clients domain name.

    I am as I type this running a full virus sweep on all the connected PC's and the 2 servers. So far nothing is showing up (if only Symantec AV recorded IP as well).

    Now I am thinking that these are actually INCOMING viruses, probably addressed to bogus addresses.

    Am I right in that assessment? If so, why on earth do the Symantec logs show the "target" as the "author"?

  6. Problems with Installing a fresh copy of HP, Norton, Master / Slave Issues, Disk Management

    Date: 04/30/06 (Computer Geeks)    Keywords: software, virus, antivirus, spyware



    An aging HP Walmart computer.  After a few years of it's user not taking care of it, we decided it was time to start from scratch.  Got a new(er) HDD, 7200 to replace it's stock 5400 drive.  The old drive had the 2 partitions, the 35GB Windows Install, and a 5 GB Restore Partition (C:\ and D:\, respectively)
     
    Because i wanted to transfer data from the old HD to the new one, I installed the new HDD in the machine as a slave to the first drive, on the same chain.  Loaded up the old HDD and it's copy of Windows, did a Quick NTFS format on the new HDD, and labeled it drive N:\.  I shut down, and put a new XP SP2 disc in the drive and attempted to boot from the CD to do the install.  Each time, I got a BSOD (Session_3) error.  Disc diagnostics show the HD is ok.  So, I booted into Windows off the old drive, and ran the XP SP2 installer from within windows.(Complete install on the new, empty drive)  Targeted the new drive as the volume for install, and let 'er rip.  All is good.
     
    When I finish with all of the updates, software installs, etc, I install Norton Systemworks 2006.  No flames here, please, this was at the CPU owners request.  This of course, installs Norton GoBack.  Whether this plays a role in this, I don't know, but I place it here in case it shed light on anything.  Install goes fine, system runs much smoother.
     
    As I am finishing up, I power down the machine, and disconnect the old HDD.  Big Problem, I get a gb_ui_support (1147) error.  This is, of course, a Goback error.  I cannot seem to get passed this.  The new OS will not boot without the old drive being installed (and still set as master, BTW)  I attempted to disable goback on the volume, but got the same boot issue.
     
    I go into the BIOS, set them to defaults, no change.  I then boot into the new HDD and go into disk management, and see this:
     
    So...the OLD HDD is the System drive?  Or is it just seeing the old windows install on there? Shouldn't it just be a standard volume? I thought about the issues of the drive letter being the culprit, but I find I am unable to change the drive letters in Windows (it will not allow me to change it) and before I attempt to do it via command line, I thought I'd ask here first. To add insult to injury, the old HDD with Windows spontaneously reboots when I try and boot into it. I'm assuming Windows is corrupted. I also ran Norton AntiVirus on ALL drives. Spyware was found, but no viruses.
     
    In any event, I'm out of ideas to get the system to boot with just the new HDD. Any thoughts? Thanks!

  14. Laptop Problem

    Date: 05/18/06 (Computer Help)    Keywords: virus

    Okay I'm not really good with explaining things about computers, so please bare with me. Okay so I was busy messing around with adobe photoshop and I was signed online, but I was only downloading an episode of a tv show I missed. All of the sudden I get this blue screen with a bunch of writing in white flash by really quick and my computer shuts down. So the next time I didn't sign online and it still did it again. My brother's friend was over and said to restore it to an earlier date and he did. After he left it did it again. It'll probably be doing it soon too. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? I did a virus scan and everything came back fine. The screen goes by too quickly to read what the blue screen says and when I try to submit about the error it doesn't work anymore. It did the first time, and it said it could be anything from a hardware problem to a problem with my charger, which I just got a new one. I should also mention that I just got back my computer from the company not even a month ago for a problem with the charger outlet on my computer. I got my laptop in November of last year and I've already had to take it in to be seen 4 times already, none of which I caused. Any help would be appreciated!

  16. trouble with thunderbird configuration out of school....

    Date: 05/19/06 (Mozilla)    Keywords: virus, web

    all right, i seem to have this issue whenever i come home from my college, and i've just never had the time to try to deal with it until now, since i'm here at home through the summer.

    when i'm up at my school, thunderbird works and functions properly. but when i come home (we only have dial-up access here currently) i can't get thunderbird to access my main email (my school email). when i used outlook express (prior to thunderbird, before OE disappeared from my computer), all i had to do was change the outgoing server address to our server here at home and that would be it. but that doesn't seem to work for thunderbird, and i'm getting fed up with this, because the webmail base program that my salem (my school) offers, does not offer virus scanning through it since it's an internet program.


    any help that any of you could give me would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks.....
