Species in a row with brief explanations
Very dangerous:
* Trojan horses masquerade as a good program, but can be damaging.

* Sparse infector eg only be active Friday the thirteenth, so as to draw the virus to escape.
* Encrypt viruses can encode and decode hiding to infect.
* Retro viruses infect the anti-virus software so it can not boot or the virus itself can not recognize.
* Polymorphic viruses change constantly in shape to resemble a regular file.
Only last:
* Hoaxes are false virus alerts and usually occurs in chain letters.
* Worms can spread rapidly, it constantly tries to copy.
Macro Virus
This virus infects Microsoft Office documents and can easily spread to other documents. Some viruses spread through Outlook Express, the popular e-mail program from Microsoft, without the user being aware of it. In another e-mail programs like Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Mozilla Tunderbird, ... viruses can not spread. A macro virus is written in Visual Basic, the scripting language for macros of Microsoft Office. Normal macros are not viruses, but it is possible to create malicious.
Virus Software
This virus will front a nesting program. If the program starts, the first active virus. It has time to infect other programs. They are very dangerous because the virus is not directly across the program and scan the damage is already done before it is discovered. You must be very careful with freeware, some programmers deliberately infect their software.
Boot Sector Virus
Boot Sector Viruses install on boot disks. If the computer is started with the floppy, which normally takes the computer and "give orders" to correctly start. If the boot disk is infected, the virus-free game. It copies itself to the boot sector of the disk. The boot sector of hard drive allows the computer startup and contains information about what should be loaded, the file structure, ...
If the virus still has free play, it changes the BIOS. Thus, in that only the hard drive may be started: you can not boot disk. The virus will only be initiated by the operating system and so could not help it. Fortunately there are now virtually no disks, let alone boot floppy, which uses the virus is rare. Why a opstartcd-ROM is no risk? These should only danger as that would be writable CD-ROM and you use it in a CD-RW drive. Because the CD-ROM must nevertheless somehow become infected.
Trojan Horse
Trojan Horses or Trojans are very dangerous programs: they look like innocent programs, screensavers or updates but if you install them, do it their way. They can modify or delete the file structure and * ports opened. Most Trojan horses do the first: they damage files and software, but they did not copy (this is exceptional). There are also backdoor trojans. They do no damage but are able to open ports *. Then someone can manage your computer completely
* What are ports? A computer is connected to other devices through ports. Eg. the internet, it is a device server. If you surf you're a customer who goes shopping: a client and a server. Normally servers may be viewed by clients.
Viruses: the different types
* The species in a row with brief explanations
* Macro Virus
* Virus Software
* Boot Sector Virus
* Trojan Horse
* Viruses in general
Species in a row with brief explanations
Very dangerous:
* Trojan horses masquerade as a good program, but can be damaging.
* Stealth viruses hide the damage, only when they are removed, the issue is.
* Boot Sector Viruses are on a boot disk, startup disk with the virus is active.
* Software software viruses infect course, if the program is opened, the virus does that.
* Hybrid viruses use several techniques to attack your computer.
Dangerous:
Eg * Macro viruses infect Word and Excel files by throwing letters together.
* Tunneling viruses use a technique to whether to attack the anti-virus program notes.
* Sparse infector eg only be active Friday the thirteenth, so as to draw the virus to escape.
* Encrypt viruses can encode and decode hiding to infect.
* Retro viruses infect the anti-virus software so it can not boot or the virus itself can not recognize.
* Polymorphic viruses change constantly in shape to resemble a regular file.
Only last:
* Hoaxes are false virus alerts and usually occurs in chain letters.
* Worms can spread rapidly, it constantly tries to copy.

Unique 100% free spam filter
Unique 100% free spam filter
DefNULLspam
Since early this year, I use the free spam filter defNULLspam, which the developer a 100-percent guarantee that the software shows "defNULLspam" guarantees no more spam e-mail through.
I have several anti-spam programs try but am still surprised that this program works so well. It is no more spam, and I think it is due to the special procedure which uses defNULLspam.
Combination of old techniques
DefNULLspam not trust modern spam control procedures such as the Bayesian methods, on the use of artificial intelligence based. Instead, several "old hat" techniques, which are able to be combined. This method is not dependent on pure defNULLspam "assumptions", which includes e-mail now spam and what not. Unbelievable, but: defNULLspam has hit a one hundred percent share, the classification of incoming spam and not spam.
The new image spam, now in circulation is reliably recognized by defNULLspam. To old to trick spam filters, spam mailers places simply because their advertising messages into images, which are then integrated into an e-mail are. Since many filters such texts are not able to read and interpret, they often come by easily and countries in the mailbox of the e-mail software. DefNULLspam is not interested in analyzing the contents of the e-mail, but only the sender in the eye.
System Requirements and Download
The program runs under Windows XP and 2000. The download is 2.5 MB. It gives a version for use with Outlook Express and Outlook (2000, 2002, XP and 2003). I think the program as one of the best on the market and it is especially FREEWARE. Here is the address for downloading: www.defnullspam.de *

Wireless network security
Wireless network security
The wisest course is not wireless, but internet cables. But enough people have good reasons to want to have wireless internet (eg to think can not or will build all kinds of cables throughout the house or people who want their laptop anywhere in house use.) It is very wise to your wireless network secure. This seems harder than it is, the only problem is that each brand modem or router has a different menu settings which should be veranderd.Het at hand from the included manual is therefore advisable to re. If you have lost your manual you can try the Internet via the manufacturer's website to download a new. If you are going to change the settings it makes sense the connection between the modem and computer to go through a network and not through the wireless connection. Changing settings may result in the wireless connection between the modem and the computer loses so institutions are not saved. Re-connecting the modem is consequently often not possible.
Explaining the different ways of securing
There are several ways (techniques) to protect your network. WEP, WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES). Do not be deterred by these terms;
* The oldest method to protect the network is using WEP. In practice, the very easy to crack WEP encryption. A wireless network with WEP is not really recommended. But if your wireless network equipment no other opportunities, it is better to use WEP or no security.
* A more recent standard for securing a wireless network is WPA. WPA has some big advantages over WEP security. WPA uses TKIP as encryption (encryption).
* The password is thus difficult to crack by hackers. WPA2 is even more modern and safer, currently one of the safest ways to protect your network. WPA2 uses AES as encryption (encryption).
* Even WPA2 can be cracked, as recently at a convention in America was demonstrated, but it is very difficult.
* WPA2-Mixed means that your modem with both WPA and WPA2 can handle (it will also allow PCs or laptops 'log' that only work with WPA). So, depending on your modem provides opportunities combined with the potential that your PCs and / or laptops can handle, choose the safest method.
Settings in modem
To adjust the settings it is possible to use Internet Explorer to connect to your modem. This goes as follows;
* Open Internet Explorer,
* Look in the manual to the IP address (number / address) of your modem. Eg. 192.168.1.245 or something.
* Type this number in the address bar of Internet Explorer (where www.blablabla.nl State)
* Press enter.
It will now enter a username and password are required. Most modems have a default username and password (eg: admin). This is again reflected in the manual. Once these details are entered correctly you will enter the main menu of your modem. Here you can set the security setting somewhere, this example can be found under: Wireless Setup> Security. For the exact location of these settings in your manual.
Setting the security
You set the modem to use WEP, WPA, WPA2 or evt. WPA-Mixed. You type in 'Passphrase' or 'Key' a password of your choice. Choose a strong password, preferably using both letters and numbers, take at least 8 characters (hint: change letters in numbers, "Password" becomes "W8chtw00rd 'and' Cozy 'is' G3z3ll1g'). Remember this password because you need it later on any PC or laptop that will make connection (single) input. Click 'OK' or 'Apply' to save the settings. If you try to connect your computer to the wireless network the computer for the password, enter the password that allows the computer to connect to. You can now any cables that you used to configure the modem again to remove.
More security
Some of the following acts are not for beginners, using The number of asterisks (1-5) you can see the difficulty level (easy = * / ***** = difficult).
Default username and password *
Most modems have a default username and password (eg: admin). This is reflected in the manual. Once these details are entered correctly you will enter the main menu of your modem. It is important to at least change the password immediately! Sometimes the user can also be changed. This default username and password are a brand on the web, so take it as soon as possible to change.
Use a strong password;
* Min 8 characters
* Both numbers and letters
* Preferably also characters like * @% (? +!
Network Name Change *
Somewhere in the Security menu of your modem is something like "SSID" or "ESSID". Behind is a name (often the name of the manufacturer eg "SITECOM", "LINKSYS" or "SPEED TOUCH"), this is the name of your network, using this name, hackers can see what brand modem you use with the and dangerous. You can choose to change this name. For example, choose another manufacturer (You have a SITECOM but changes the name SPEED TOUCH).
Network name not emit **
You can also choose the SSID (network name) not to broadcast. This prevents the wireless network makes himself known to the outside world. This means that once the SSID on the computer to indicate what wireless network you connect to.
Channel wireless networks ****
The program 'Netstumbler' you can see which channels the wireless networks in the broadcasting environment. Preferably not go down as the same channel as your neighbor, but choose a different channel.
MAC Address Filter option ****
If the MAC addresses of the PCs / laptops on the wireless network obsolete, you can find "MAC address filter option exactly which PCs or laptops or not allowed to connect.
Explanation: The MAC address you can identify the following way: When you first start a DOS window: Go to Start / Run and type in command (or cmd). And click on OK. A black window. Here, type ipconfig / all. As the result of your wireless network a physical address.
This is the MAC address you can write (xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx).
Firmware Update ****
When new firmware for your modem / router you can download to your computer. Consult the manual of your modem / router to find out how the firmware of your modem / router to update. Please note that when updating firmware usually lost all settings. It is therefore advisable to make notes of your settings before the firmware update goes.

You may never more than one virus on your computer, if you have more than one can of trouble.
Links and Texts
Here are some lyrics that are often driven by the virus:
* Omg you naked?
* Omg you naked?
* Omg tu nuda?
* Omg du NAKED?
* Msn contacts
* Omg i found your msn contact list!
* Sono riuscito a trovare il vostra lista dei contatti msn!
* Regarde qui t'as msn block dance
* See you here who have blocked
* Look which contacts you blocked
* Oh you naked?
* Oh your msn password?
* This is really you?
* Ta tof fais koi sur ce site:)
Remove the MSN virus?
Step 1
The first step is to do your virus scan a large carry. A tip before you scan to make an update of your virus scanner, so you have the latest virus database in and offer more protection against the latest viruses.
Step 2
If you have your virus scan and the virus is still present on your computer, do the following: [/ B]
The makers of Symantec (Norton known) have developed a special program, which focuses on finding the virus on your computer. MSN viruses often contain a worm that also mentions W32.Bropia.J. * The tool is free to download.
Step 3
If the Symantec Removal Tool not detecting the virus and has not removed, then scan with the free spyware scanner "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware ** '.
Step 4
If you've done all steps above then you are probably from the MSN virus. Is the problem still not received your contacts and still irritantje linkjes of yours, do what is below: On this page ***. Take this page quietly, for here explaining how you can post a hijack Logje from your infected computer. The hijack log then finally get seen by''to''just say a virus expert. The one your hijack log view gives you solutions to be able to remove.

XP Antivirus 2010
Fake virus scanner
The Sun-like virus XP Antivirus 2010 looks like a real anti-virus, and it is probably more than one person conceived and designed. The layout looks great from a normal Windows application and is extremely offensive to click. One click is already embarrassing enough for your computer to completely senseless banging.
Prevention is better than cure!
Preventing an infection of your computer is really huge task in itself. If you abused your computer and not left and right to all sorts of things are clicking, you are safe. Try not to be seduced by such seemingly attractive promotions and opportunities missed or not. Often XP AntiVirus along with codec packs and all sorts. Once infected you are in a street without end, unless you consider a solution.
What is this anyway?
XP AntiVirus 2010 is basically a copy of the infamous XP AntiVirus 2009. The Rogue of unscrupulous people have the product just launched a new mask. XP AntiVirus 2010 is thus again a lot of digital files and processes that you experience a lot less pleasant.

AVG prevents start: degradation users32.dll
AVG prevents start: degradation users32.dll
Problem?
By performing an AVG scan notes the crucial Windows file user32.dll as a Trojan horse, PSW.banker4.APSA, and the file is removed and placed in quarantine. If users below their computer off, then no more successful startup, the system immediately and hang on a bluescreen.
What is affected?
The faulty update applies to all versions of AVG, free or paid, or private business but only for Windows XP.
What is the solution?
First you can choose to solve the problem by a professional. Computer Shops are now "experienced" to solve this problem by the large amount of computers were infected. If you want to solve are 3 good solutions.
Repair with Windows CD
This method has the requirement that the Windows CD in your possession.
Phrases in quotation marks are "contracts".
1. Run the Windows XP installation CD and restart the computer from this CD;
2. Choose Recovery Console and run out;
3. Select Windows operating system that you want to repair;
4. AVG Resident Shield Set inoperative: "disable avgMfx86", "disable avgMfa86", "disable avgldx86", "disable avglda86";
5. Restore the User32.dll file (use instead of "D" letter of your CD-ROM drive): "expand D: i386user32.dl_ c: windowssystem32";
6. If previous move failed: "ren user32.dll user32.bak" and you step back to above;
7. Restart the computer!
Repair Boot CD with AVG
This method comes from AVG Website *
1. Download the CD Boot CD **;
2. Use your favorite CD burning software to burn the downloaded image;
3. Enter the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer and reboot the computer;
4. Follow the process salvation;

Format
A third solution is to format the computer. This is all the problems of the runway, but this is a slight "overkill" for such trivial problems as this.
AVG trust?
I would say that this can happen to anyone. (all: anti-virus publishers) Nevertheless, probably the most lax in the first inning. I let the confidence is in the middle. If you wish to move can miss chen's look at AntiVir, Avast or ClamWim.

Computer Viruses
Computer Viruses
Four types of viruses
There are four concepts of viruses based on which all modern viruses. First we have a worm, it spreads often over a network and can therefore easily transfer data. A Trojan horse poses as another program, such as a word processor but is actually a virus that vital files can destroy. Third, we have malware that particular advertising purposes. There was a time a malware virus in circulation that a chattering Donald Duck duck on the screen showed around. Finally there is the logic bomb that actually works like a time bomb. The virus does something only when a certain action takes place as the start of a program.
Origin of the computer
In 1984 wrote an American named Fred Cohen, a book in which he described how he made a virus for a DOS computer. This book is very much between 1987 and 1991 read by creators of viruses and eventually used frequently. Originally these viruses are spread via floppy disks illegal, now is the network here for more mis (GE) used.
Dissemination
There are different ways of distribution:
* Disk
* Memory Cards
* Infected CD-ROM
* Modem
* E-mail
* File sharing
* Abuse of bugs in the OS like Microsoft Windows, or bugs in the e-mail program like Microsoft Outlook.
Fighting
Today there are a lot of virus detection programs. At the moment there is a big market and there are companies that their capital owe to viruses. Virus scanners are regularly updated for the makers to continue, if they detect what the owner gets a message from the computer and the virus can be removed. These scanners are less necessary in other operating systems, for example, Apple just viruses because a smaller market and the spread is not interesting for the makers.
Programs that fight viruses:
* NOD32
* Clamav / Clamwin This is free software
Symantec / Norton Antivirus
* Sophos Antivirus
* Norman Virus Control
* McAfee
* Trend Micro PC Cillin
* Kaspersky
* AVG Free version available
* Avast! Free version available after registration
* F-Secure (Windows Vista Partner)
Facts
* Six percent of the scanned mails contains a virus.
* An attacker can mail from one another with a virus.
* It has become popular for one another, for example an Internet company to blame a virus through e-mails with a virus as a delivery mail failed to send.
* In 2004, the numerator of viruses at more than 100,000!

Top three free anti-virus programs
Top three free anti-virus programs
Avira AntiVir Personal
Year after year, Antivir scored high on the rankings of * the anti-virus scanners. And that is not without reason. The German program is the integrity itself without any frills. The software has rootkit detection and encourages dialers, worms and Trojan horses effortlessly. Also, the computer protected against phishing.
Updates
The program takes up little space on the hard disk. AntiVir look for updates daily and you can program so that it scans your computer daily for viruses. I must say that the updates as slow as it often large in size.
Nuisance
AntiVir does not separate mail scanner. During the update appears sometimes with a pop-up advertising for the paid version and it is annoying. The rest is a great program with no frills. Only we have to wait for a Dutch version. However AntiVir is available in German, English and French.
avast! Home Edition 4.8
Also ranking high on the State avast! **, An English anti-virus program of Czech manufacture. By it differs from the average viruscanner because you think you have to do with a media player because of his slick appearance. The program offers protection against rootkits and spyware. The company proudly announced that the anti-spyware is certified by the famous West Coast Labs and the anti-rootkit protection using the advanced GMER technology. avast! has a dutch website.
Mail Scanner
Avast! has an email scanner and protects you when you are chatting via instant messenger or if you exchange files via P2P networks. Automatiche The updates are small because they occur gradually.
Disadvantage
The interface of a player is not from a virus, but get used to it eventually.
AVG Free 8.0
*** AVG provides a real-time protection against viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. Free Daily, automatic updates ensure that your computers remain protected against new threats. Moreover, a scan performed every day to see if your computer is free from viruses.
Mail Scanner
A separate mail scanner ensures that your e-mails have been checked for viruses before they're reading. The mail scanner automatically detects all email programs. There are also additional plugins (one button on the toolbar) to Outlook (Express), Eudora and The Bat.
Nuisance
The daily scan requires much memory but fortunately you can convert that into a weekly. It is while downloading a toolbar now comes to you is not to jump. This lets you Control Panel, and remove software button.
Conclusion
Since November 2008 AVG is available in Dutch and has an excellent interface. There is also a dutch website. AVG Free as a third program discussed does not mean that it has won bronze. All three programs are good and avoid each other in terms of functionality and little power. The choice of personal preference plays the biggest role.

Why Antivirus Technology fails
Why Antivirus Technology fails
Each piece of data that travels over the Internet is constantly scanned. A simple e-Mailtje is usually scanned to the PC of the sender, then the mail server of the sender, the mail server of the recipient and once again on the PC of the recipient. But despite these seemingly aggressive approach viruses continue to infect computers and cause damage. What can be wrong?
To answer this we must look in greater depth and also the history that lies behind it.
The problem
Sometime early 90s I began to use a computer, my first system was protected by McAfee AV. In those days a typical virus infection through infected floppy disks to use (you took your drive home from school and 'bingo'). Important point is that infection will spread very slowly and days, weeks or months needed for a good number of systems to infect.
Infrequently you update your AV signatures to stop the latest viruses. The main point is that infection had been exceptional and a physical path to another system needed (the infected floppy). CD-ROMS were the first new medium and were often exchanged, but the principle remained unchanged.
But on a chilly winter day came the internet infections that we know today. Where the floppy viruses weeks or months needed to put the Internet to spread the 'Zero-day attacks with it, where infections in a few hours hundreds of thousands to millions of systems could take over.
The reason for that lightning fast infection may lie in something that the vulnerability window (or window of vulnerability) is genoememd. This window is the time between the start of an infection to the time that AV signatures are available and installed.
Today, this period typically one days to several days and in the meantime you are completely vulnerable to the update can be installed. However, your infected before the release of the update then make sure you attack some AV software is disabled or circumvented through which the infection even after the update can not fix or disable.
To make things worse, many viruses from the new millennium is often called a multi-vector attack pattern. This means that instead of 1 single path to your computer (such as an infected e-mail) also through a number of other ways to try to get on your computer. Viruses such as the now legendary Nimda virus infect computers through e-mails, open network shares, monitor Internet Explorer, IIS and even behind doors that were opened by other viruses put. If only 1 of these paths on your computer is not protected than your PC taken over. Nimda had only 22 minutes needed for a mass infection on the Internet to cause even on PCs that were protected by AV software.
Internet worms are perhaps the norm today, but computers are still infected by the traditional channels. This proved once again by the massive infection that Sony's malware (some of their audio CDs to copy counter) has verooraakt. I have written extensively about * here. The distribution pattern of this was again very slow (more than one years). The Sony-virus however was interesting for another reason, namely to put another big problem with AV software exposed for what now appeared AV manufacturers were slow and even reluctant to comment because it was a virus geinstallerd copy. This raises questions on the agenda of such companies. Is this to protect your PC or is it just for money, even before you sacrifice the safety of your customers by showing some infections (from other companies, governments, ...)?
The underlying problem
Most viruses and worms today use errors and gaps in the underlying system (especially MS Windows) to a computer or take them to convince users to conduct their own (e-mail viruses) by itself as something else to do. They can do this only with this degree of success as do the underlying architecture is not safely designed.
This is true for viruses that man behind the attacks from your machine to take up an infected attachment to be opened because the underlying system should not allow that, once implemented, this level of control over the acquisition system.
To make matters worse, most programs fail and open rather than closed systems. That is a mistake you do not always lose some functionality but the above protection.
Anti-Virus software operates over a system and tries to intercept viruses before they take control over that system. But to do it yourself has a lot of privileges to operate (such as signature download from the Internet, but also access to hard disks, CD-ROMs and the like. This makes this type of software yourself a target of a attack can be, with a yield total control over the system.
A real solution
To the anti-virus problem effectively we need to address 1 step to get on the bad guys. This means, first, that systems should be designed with security as an integral part and safety must be closed instead of open failure (think of an electronic lock).
In addition, the lowest levels of protection in our embedded systems and should continue to work if problems are found that low levels. Security should enforce the principle of least privilege. Some of these views contains today back in newer Linux distributions but they are often not far enough.
Interesting projects include: SELinux, AppArmor and PAX.
There is also a very interesting piece of research done on fault-tollerante Systems by Andrew S. Tanenbaumvan free univeristeit Amsterdam, the result is the Minix OS, a Unix-like OS with a true micro-kernel.
Perhaps it is you that I not mention MS Windows, especially at that level for little or no progress. At first sight Vista was a little better but the changes do not go far enough and most pass-poor implementation has been lost. There is also Vista's cumbersome size and complexity with a DRM layer beschremd others against you instead of vice versa have become an additional risk.
Practical tips you can use today
* The most important step you can take if you use MS Windows for this to stop and switch to alternatives such as GNU / Linux or FreeBSD.
* GNU / Linux distributions like Ubuntu are very secure and yet easy to use. I understand that not everyone can or wants to do now.
* GNU / Linux is generally safer than Windows for several reasons. It was designed as a multi-user network system for use where only those features later on Windows are built.
* Addition is GNU / Linux (Free Software and other systems) of a community instead of a single commercial entity and that community has a different agenda than commercial firmas.
If you can not or will cross to a safer alternative, there are still some things you can do to your Windows system a lot safer:
* Never use Outlook for E-Mail Keis but for Thunderbird or Eudora. Outlook has too many features that hide extensions or scripts without your permission.
* Never use Internet Explorer to surf but choose FireFoxof Opera. The same mistakes that Outlook unsafe were also repeated in Internet Explorer.
* Create separate user just for the management and use of your PC
* Install regular updates, not just for windows but for all the programs you use
* Purchase a hardware router / firewall (such as Linksys). Configure that correct or have someone do that for you.
* Do not open attachments from people you do not know, turn any programs you've downloaded from websites that you are not 200% familiar.
* Keep in mind always that the Internet is not a safe environment and that the From field data such as emails or buddy names in MSN / ICQ / Gtalk can be forged with little effort. Systems such as PGP can help you but this should at both sides of the communication used.
* Make the backup so you do not lose data if something happened.

The Sony-virus however was interesting for another reason, namely to put another big problem with AV software exposed for what now appeared AV manufacturers were slow and even reluctant to comment because it was a virus geinstallerd copy. This raises questions on the agenda of such companies. Is this to protect your PC or is it just for money, even before you sacrifice the safety of your customers by showing some infections (from other companies, governments, ...)?
The underlying problem
Most viruses and worms today use errors and gaps in the underlying system (especially MS Windows) to a computer or take them to convince users to conduct their own (e-mail viruses) by itself as something else to do. They can do this only with this degree of success as do the underlying architecture is not safely designed.
This is true for viruses that man behind the attacks from your machine to take up an infected attachment to be opened because the underlying system should not allow that, once implemented, this level of control over the acquisition system.
To make matters worse, most programs fail and open rather than closed systems. That is a mistake you do not always lose some functionality but the above protection.
Anti-Virus software operates over a system and tries to intercept viruses before they take control over that system. But to do it yourself has a lot of privileges to operate (such as signature download from the Internet, but also access to hard disks, CD-ROMs and the like. This makes this type of software yourself a target of a attack can be, with a yield total control over the system.
A real solution
To the anti-virus problem effectively we need to address 1 step to get on the bad guys. This means, first, that systems should be designed with security as an integral part and safety must be closed instead of open failure (think of an electronic lock).
In addition, the lowest levels of protection in our embedded systems and should continue to work if problems are found that low levels. Security should enforce the principle of least privilege. Some of these views contains today back in newer Linux distributions but they are often not far enough.
Interesting projects include: SELinux, AppArmor and PAX.
There is also a very interesting piece of research done on fault-tollerante Systems by Andrew S. Tanenbaumvan free univeristeit Amsterdam, the result is the Minix OS, a Unix-like OS with a true micro-kernel.
Perhaps it is you that I not mention MS Windows, especially at that level for little or no progress. At first sight Vista was a little better but the changes do not go far enough and most pass-poor implementation has been lost. There is also Vista's cumbersome size and complexity with a DRM layer beschremd others against you instead of vice versa have become an additional risk.
Practical tips you can use today
* The most important step you can take if you use MS Windows for this to stop and switch to alternatives such as GNU / Linux or FreeBSD.
* GNU / Linux distributions like Ubuntu are very secure and yet easy to use. I understand that not everyone can or wants to do now.
* GNU / Linux is generally safer than Windows for several reasons. It was designed as a multi-user network system for use where only those features later on Windows are built.
* Addition is GNU / Linux (Free Software and other systems) of a community instead of a single commercial entity and that community has a different agenda than commercial firmas.
If you can not or will cross to a safer alternative, there are still some things you can do to your Windows system a lot safer:
* Never use Outlook for E-Mail Keis but for Thunderbird or Eudora. Outlook has too many features that hide extensions or scripts without your permission.
* Never use Internet Explorer to surf but choose FireFoxof Opera. The same mistakes that Outlook unsafe were also repeated in Internet Explorer.
* Create separate user just for the management and use of your PC
* Install regular updates, not just for windows but for all the programs you use
* Purchase a hardware router / firewall (such as Linksys). Configure that correct or have someone do that for you.
* Do not open attachments from people you do not know, turn any programs you've downloaded from websites that you are not 200% familiar.
* Keep in mind always that the Internet is not a safe environment and that the From field data such as emails or buddy names in MSN / ICQ / Gtalk can be forged with little effort. Systems such as PGP can help you but this should at both sides of the communication used.
* Make the backup so you do not lose data if something happened.

The Conficker worm, virus information and removal
The Conficker worm, virus information and removal
Conficker worm
The Conficker virus (actually a worm) uses a serious vulnerability in Windows that Microsoft in October 2008 with an emergency update poem has. The many number of PC users that the update is not installed correctly, has the virus and free play opportunities within a very short, the huge spread. Conficker appeared in November for the first time as virus and, at the time of writing this article, already more than 10 million PCs worldwide infected with more than 7 million computers in 3 days this worm is very successful.
After infection the worm attempts to spread itself further. It also blocks the access to the sites of some antivirus companies, making it even harder for a solution to the virus found.
Alternative names for this worm and other
* Kido
* Downadup
Worm
A worm is designed to replicate themselves to other computers but can, unlike a virus, automatically. The worm takes possession of functions on the device information or files can be sent. Is a worm in your system once, then he can independently and quickly spread over networks, email, msn or other channels. The greatest danger worms is their ability to duplicate very large volumes. A worm can operate independently to read a directory and infecting many people at once, in the worst cases it causes a domino effect that even in the past surges in Internet traffic have been observed. A new worm spread quickly, partly because it is not always immediately possible that anti-virus programs detect the worm.
How do I know if I am infected?
The worm creates the following service:
* Name: netsvcs
* Path:% SystemRoot% system32svchost.exe-k netsvcs
The following registry additions are made by the worm:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesnetsvcsParameters "ServiceDLL" = "[PathToWorm]
Solution
To prevent this worm is to install the Microsoft solution (patch) * essential. ** The Symantec removal tool to remove the worm from your PC. Remove the worm patch from Symantec and then do the Windows Update or Microsoft patch.
