For what reason would a person put a ticket on a car that leads the car owner to a site that contains malware..Please dont say because people are mean..I already know that..Whats the motivation???|||It's mainly money that drives them and not meanness. There is big money in it for those who do it the "right" way. The money will then roll in in different ways depending on what kind of malware they just gave you. Some take over you computer and email to send spam or host illegal things. Others look for bank information or other information that they can use for frauds.
The risks are there for you as a private person but the big money cows are those who surf from their job. Many businesses have sensitive information in their computers and they also have poor security since it costs a lot to keep it updated at all times.
This is far from many the hakkers of the past that would send an ideological or sometimes funny message with what they did. Many in the old crowd were "gentlemen" when it came to the information that they got their hands on and it was more of a game where they went it told that they had been there, and then waited for someone to see it and fix so that they could boost about how long it had taken security to find the issue.
Today malware is a billion dollar industry and people become rich on it. It's not about being mean, it's not about having fun it's about 拢拢拢 $$$ 鈧偓鈧?and plenty of it.
I've never hear of anyone placing out tickets on cars before but they say that all ways are good as long as they are working.

What to do when Malwarebytes or MSE can't run because of a nasty virus/malware?
I have a bad Trojan and my virus and malware scans won't work. I assume it is because of this nasty thing. What to do if the thing to combat it will not work?|||http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.鈥?/a>
Go to that site. and do all the steps. I had the same issue and it cured it. Malware or windows defender wouldn't work. its a step by step guide, very easy to follow. hope it helps!|||You must rename the mbam.exe file to something different and then run it. Update and scan for malware - best if you can do it in safe mode. It will remove most of the pests.
Try to update and run the Antivirus in Safe Mode as well. If your AV has been compromised, you can switch to the free version of AVG temporarily (bring it in via an USB stick if downloads fail).
To have realtime anti-malware protection and prevent malware infections, you can try an IP blocker (SpyBot S%26amp;D has a decent one for free) and even realtime protection (Malwarebytes full version has it, together with scheduled scans and updates - save on it with Malwarebytes coupon codes shared by users on http://news.dtcdeals.com/malwarebytes-co鈥?/a> or google for more). Good luck!|||Try
1. System restore - go back to date when you knew everything was ok
or
2. Boot into safe mode and try scanning
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsaf鈥?/a>
If neither works, go to C:\program files\malwarebytes antimalware
look for a file named mbam.exe
right click it and rename to anything you like eg hope.exe
double click to run
alternatively download superantispyware portable - free - you may have to use another pc - run it from a usb flash drive or an sd card

What is this I hear about the the iCrash mac malware?
I heard there is a new mac malware that some hacker group said they are making.
They said it was inspired by the hackintosh group. But instead of tricking a PC running Mac that it is on apple hardware, it will trick a Mac running on a apple computer thinking it is on pc hardware.|||yes we know what it means, but Mac users don't realize that the mac is no different from a Dell. HP, or any other intel computer system. it is just the operating system that controls the users, not the computer and why the mac crash when you install none mac hardware is because there are no drivers for it, not that the hardware is incompatible
people need to understand that proprietary hardware and software is no good for them what so ever, they need to understand that proprietary companies like Apple and Microsoft control their users, you have to buy their products like it or not, at high prices
Mac control all their hardware, ipods iphones, and computers,so that they can charge the high prices which is forced sales, anti trust trading
check out what Microsoft are now doing with their mobile phone systems link below, just the same as Apple Mac do with their hardware. controlling everything. people will learn one day|||where abouts do you find these

What is the best virus protection and malware/spyware protection to have?
I have recently been having a lot of trouble with malware on my computer. I did a full system restore and now i need the best protection possible for viruses and malware/spyware. what would you recommend me using ? are there any GOOD free programs as well?|||A good one to buy is Norton Anti-Virus 2009
A good one for free is AVAST Anti-virus and windows defender work pretty well together

Can sombody explain to me what polymorphism is and how malware can use it to remain undetected on a computer?
I've been learning about malware recently, the different kinds, how its used, what it can do... ect. And I can't seem to find an artical or definition I am capable of understanding. I have no intention of using this in a malcious way, computer security simply interest me.|||polymorphism is the ability of an object 2 take more than one form. for example u take wood its just wood when u cut it but u can make many things outa it which may b a furniture a statue etc.... wood takes many forms still it is wood
like wise a malware copies itself and stores itself under different names so that if u remove one it creates many ( worm also works on the same principle )|||Polymorphism means many forms.
That means many objects taking one form, not one object taking many form.
They seem as same but work very much different,
In case of malware it you can make a software that seems as the one very familiar to the user or being used by the OS or something alike, but work as some thing else.

What language are most malware written in?
Ive actually been wondering how most people who make malware actually write there programs. Ive asked a friend who said C, but i wasn't entirely sure.|||not quite sure but heres how you can find out. isolate a malware program and have it destroy your computer. after that is over, turn your computer back on and see if the malware is telling you to f**k of. if it does you must restart the entire cycle over again. or you can google it, im pretty sure google hs all the answers to everything but thats the more difficult route
Advice for protecting a computer from malware?
After losing a computer to damage caused by viruses and malware, I can't stop worrying about the security of my other PCs. I recently set up a brand new machine and I would really appreciate some advice on what firewall to install and what antivirus to use. I'd also like to know if it's safe to use a firewall while running an anti-virus or anti-malware program at the same time.
If you were using a new computer, what would you do to protect it?|||Get Hicks Defender, it's a free anti-spyware program from Hicks Tools. I used it to get rid of some nasty stuff.|||Don't download anything yet until you get the most certified antivirus and firewall. Try to seek advice on this site's newsletter to know methods on how to protect your computer from computer viruses and what is the most recommended brands of antivirus programs that you can use to protect your computer and how to administrate network of computer security. http://systemsecurityinstitute.org/|||First set up a basic 'running' anti virus like Avira free - Then D/load Malwarebytes and SUPERantispyware and update every week - These 3 programs are the basis for detecting and removal of 99% of all known infections -
Scan at least once a week with the last 2 removers and set your Avira to do a daily scan (mine is midday every day) - If you think any infections have slipped past your 'running' anti virus then run a quick scan with SUPERantispyware -
If you used these on the last system you would not have needed to junk it - Also set M/soft updates to D/load as they are important to your system -|||um you can download Antivirus 2009 which gives total protection and nothing to worry about|||If you want a virus scanner, go for something reputable. Avast, AVG and Norton are all reputable. Some cost, some are free.
Using a firewall with antivirus software is usually fine. In general, you don't want more than one of each or they may conflict with each other. One antivirus program, one firewall and one anti-malware program.
The most effective way of making your computer more secure is through something I like to call security through minority. About 88% of all computers run Windows. This means if you were to make a virus, you would make it for Windows as it would affect the most number of people (making a virus that infects more than one operating system is very difficult, sometimes impossible). As a result of Window's market share, over 99% of all viruses target Windows machines. You are several hundred times less likely to get a virus running a non-Windows machine. Since you already have the machines, you could install Linux on them, however, Linux is not as user friendly as the geeks who use it would like to think, and almost all software you have for Windows can't be run on Linux, so there's quite a few downsides.
What I suggest to you is this: Stop using Internet Explorer. Internet viruses are downloaded to your computer through exploits in the browser, which means it can usually only target one browser. Internet Explorer has around 80% share of the market, so it is the most likely to give you a virus, as that's what virus makers will target to affect the most users. It's the whole security through minority situation again.
Alternative browsers are
Safari http://www.apple.com/safari/
Chrome http://www.google.com/chrome
Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Opera http://opera.com
Opera is what I use, but it's not for everyone. Don't forget to get the antivirus/malware/firewall as well. All four are as important as each other.
Also be aware that older operating systems are more vulnerable. If you get offered the choice to have Windows XP instead of Vista, don't take it. The OS is 7 years old, as well as it's security system. Vista is the most recent, but Windows 7 is being released in October. As time goes on, the security system gets better (because as time goes on, hackers get better). Also make sure your system updates are up to date, via Windows Update.

How to fix malware targeted at Google in Firefox?
Apparently, I got a malware on my computer, and it is only targeting Google in Firefox 5. I searched 'Facebook' with Firefox in Google and it got redirected, whereas in Google Chrome, it didn't happen. Then I searched 'Facebook' with Firefox in Yahoo and it didn't get redirected, so I wanna ask, is this normal? Can it be fixed?|||www.malwarebytes.org

In order to successfully remove malware infections (viruses, spyware, adware etc) from your PC you need to follow a methodical approach as well as using effective (and free) tools. There’s a decent guide covering this that you can work through at My Slow PC (http://www.MySlowPC.co.uk/) – click on the “Troubleshooting” link. Here’s my advice from it:
1.) Turn System Restore OFF so any infection that you remove is not restored.
2.) Scan with a combination of the best detection utilities as you’ll find different scanners can sometimes pick up different infections. E.g.
* McAfee Stinger – a free standalone Trojan virus scanner
* SpyBot Search %26amp; Destroy – a spyware/adware scanner
* Lavasoft Adaware – for spyware/adware
Note – it might be a good idea to disconnect your network connection once you’ve updated them with the latest virus/spyware definitions. This is due to the fact that often an infection is trying to spread over your network.
3.) If the above fails or you’re not sure if you’re still infected, when you start your PC tap the F8 key, select “Safe Mode” and repeat the scans once you’re connected.
I hope the above helps, as mentioned the guide above is a lot more detailed and the My Slow PC site is pretty useful. Good luck!|||Oki, so this is How i get rid of Viruses on my computer.

Keep your antivirus updated. If automatic updates are available, configure your antivirus to use them.
Keep your permanent antivirus protection enabled at all times.
1. Run AntiVirus software
2. Run a complete scan with antivirus software you have install on your computer.
Use Mozilla firefox or the google chrome browser for browsing unsafe websites|||It would hhave helped if you had named the malware that you have become infected with as well as the name brand of your anti-virus and anti-malware apps.
Anyway, you should preform a full-system scan with your anti-virus software and quarantine whatever it finds.
If the issue still persists, I would suggest using a good anti-spyware like SUPERAntiSpyware:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
They have a free version and it's excellent.
Download and install SUPER, update it, do a full system scan and quarantine what it finds.
And please be aware that NO anti-virus or anti-malware software can ever be relied upon to give any where near 100% protection. None of them do, free or paid. Most only detect about 85% to 95% of all KNOWN viruses. When a brand new virus is released, NO signature-based anti-virus will detect it for several hours up to several days. Some never will detect a particular virus. And over 1200 new variants of viruses and other malware are created by the "black-hats" each and every day.
This is why anti-virus software mustn update at least once per day.

Will using malwarebytes and superantispyware really help get rid of malware? Or reformat computer?
I have malware and was told my answerers on here to use malwarebytes and superantispyware. I scanned both on safe mode and they were able to track malware and get rid of them. My computer used to always redirect me to other websites but now it doesn't do that anymore. Which I'm sure the programs worked, but I'm still paranoid. Should I just reformat my computer?|||Theres always a possibility of getting malware even after formatting malware-bytes is a very good program so Im sure your pc is fine now
You just have to careful of the sites you Visit and the stuff you down load

(things to check from time to time)
1.add and remove programs check for tool bars and other software you didn't install
a lot of time when you install software some of them will install toolbars and search bars
2.check manage add ons in internet explorer for add ons and tool bars that you didn't ok
so web pages do this without you knowing like when you play an online game and it tells you that it needs to install an add on to play the game
3.get anti virus that will monitor your computer will you browse and block most of that stuff
4. learn to know whats good and bad like if you go to a site and its got one of those giant download buttons its not a good Idea to use it most of the time the software is gonna want to add tool bars and stuff ,also watch for sites that try to get you to down load an anti virus and scan your pc or do a registry scan adult sites are bad sometimes to if you use them not saying you do but a lot of them are known for hijacking browsers|||If it seems normal then don't worry, also you can do a restore to a date before the virus. Restore only takes a few minutes wheras a reformat takes a lot of time. I had a virus 2 days ago but my restore got rid of it.|||If they don't pick up anything after scanning once, chances are you're in the clear.

Can malware get into your system through Windows updates?
I recently had a very nasty virus on my computer and had to reformat. Now Windows updater is telling me there are about 60 updates I need. I have no idea which ones I genuinely need, so I haven't installed any of them. Also, I am worried that this is how the virus got into my computer in the first place. Can malware pose as a Windows update?|||cimmic13 is 100% right you are getting infected because you aren't downloading these updates. By not updating your PC you are leaving your operating system ( Most likely Windows ) exposed to any hacker that has the know how to do it.
What a hacker does is look for Windows exploits on your computer. Once the hacker finds one its very easy for him/her to get the tools necessary to hack into your system and turn it into a zombie.
Then all of hell will break loose on your computer. So please get the updates for everyones sake.
In addition to the personal violation of privacy and inherent dangers that brings, the perpetrator can also use the zombie computer to engage in illegal online activities. A hacker that compromises many computers can combine them into a zombie network, called a “botnet.” The hacker can control the zombies by broadcasting single commands, negating the need to communicate with each target individually. The botnet becomes a kind of army to do the hacker’s bidding. Botnets are used to send spam, attack websites, perpetuate phishing scams, commit click-fraud, and grow larger botnets by infecting new computers that are vulnerable to attack.
Unfortunately, the risk of your system falling victim to a zombie computer attack might be greater than you imagine. In highly publicized reports from 2005, one dismantled botnet controlled by three young men in the Netherlands included 1.5 million zombie computers. In the United States teenagers termed “script kiddies” are competitively building botnets to gain peer recognition, and in 2000, a Canadian 15-year-old boy used zombie drones to bring down several large websites, causing $1.7 million US Dollars in damages.
To minimize the growing threat of becoming assimilated into a drone:
* Keep your anti-spyware and anti-virus software current.
* Use a firewall.
* Delete spam without opening it.
* Avoid installing programs from untrusted sources.
* Don’t allow untrusted websites to install software.
* Keep your operating system and Web browser current with the latest hotfixes.
* Use a good anti-rootkit program weekly to scan for rootkits.
* Back up your system each week after a clean scan.
P.S. Please keep your Windows system updated so the hackers don't use your PC as a zombie. Cause no one will win if that happens.|||Yes, Malware can pose as a Windows Update, however, they do not enter through the Microsoft Windows Update notification tool which is the pop-up your seeing. Malware through a Windows Update file will usually occur when browsing the internet, and you are asked to download a video codec from Windows Update, but, acutally, is not from Microsoft. Install ALL of the security updates, as these will keep 85% of all viruses and exploits off of your pc. Install a good antivirus, choose your choice.

Apple does have some malware checks built into Snow Leopard, mostly to thwart would be trojans, but that's about it. No viruses for OS X.
As long as you don't install programs or plug-ins from unknown sources, you shouldn't have a problem.

Is there a virus or malware that makes your computer produce organ music followed by a few people cheering?
Every so often when I enter into a new page, my laptop emits this creepy organ music which is followed by the sound of a few people cheering with no noticeable source on the page. Virus? Malware?|||It depends, sometimes webpages will have an ad that will have volume to the ad, and sometimes its not easy to identify were the sound or the ad is located. Other times, there will be a pop-up that opens up in the background that will have an ad with sound.
Another thing to look for is make sure that no programs are creating the sound. Windows themes have sounds and it may be produced by windows themes depending on what version you have.
If you think you may have a virus, here is what to do:
1. Remove your Anti-virus.
2. Go to http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Anti鈥?/a> and download this Antivirus. This is the best and most highly recommended free Anti-virus in the tech world. Install this and run scans.
3.) if you still think there may be an issue. Try this. http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/?tag=m鈥?/a> It will remove all your cookies and such stuff, usually spyware is put on your pc by cookies.
4.) Try this. http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpywar鈥?/a> Run scans and remove bad items.
5.) or another comparable to Superantispyware is Malwarebytes. http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-An鈥?/a>
All these are free and are what most techs use in the tech world. You should never purchase the full versions, they are a waste of money and usually only provide extra tech savvy program accessibility. Basically, they are marketing schemes to make money. Also, Make sure that if you download Superantispyware that it doesn't start up with windows or run in your taskbar, you only need one AV running at a time and Avast will handle all your security needs. If you have more than one running, it bogs down your pc and becomes counter-productive as they usually will not work properly if another AV is running.
Hope this helps.|||Probably a virus.. You should google search abg anti virus and download it. Then scan your computer.|||I haven't heard of one, but that sounds like it could be. Run a scanner to check: http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ru鈥?/a>

How can I remove AntiSpyCheck malware for FREE?
How can I remove the accursed AntiSpyCheck malware/spyware for FREE? I can't find a free removal tool anywhere on the web, only scanners. I have tried removing this damned spyware with all my spyware programs - Adaware, Spybot Search %26amp; Destroy, and Xara Soft, but NONE of them can remove it. So please can somebody tell me where I can get a FREE removal tool, as this damn thing is driving me mad!|||AntiSpyCheck is a rogue antispyware that is installed through the Zlob Trojan. This trojan hides as a necessary part of a video codec. To remove AntiSpyCheck, you can download Malware Bytes' Free Anti Malware. It is an absolutely FREE anti spyware program that is made especially to remove tough malware, such as AntiSpyCheck. Follow these instructions to remove:
1. Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, or MBAM from here: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/mal鈥?/a> and save it to your desktop
2. Close all programs that are currently open on your computer
3. Double-click on the icon on your desktop named Download_mbam-setup.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.
4.When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing, make sure you leave both the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware checked. Then click on the Finish button.
5 MBAM will now automatically start and you will see a message stating that you should update the program before performing a scan. As MBAM will automatically update itself after the install, you can press the OK button to close that box and you will now be at the main program
6 On the Scanner tab, make sure the the Perform quick scan option is selected and then click on the Scan button to start scanning your computer for AntiSpyCheck related files.
7 MBAM will now start scanning your computer for malware. This process can take quite a while, so we suggest you go and do something else and periodically check on the status of the scan.
8 When the scan is finished a message box will appear. You should click on the OK button to close the message box and continue with the AntiSpyCheck removal process.
9 You will now be back at the main Scanner screen. At this point you should click on the Show Results button.
10 A screen displaying all the malware that the program found
11 You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove all the listed malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine.
12 When MBAM has finished removing the malware, it will open the scan log and display it in Notepad. Review the log as desired, and then close the Notepad window.
13 You can now exit the MBAM program.
