I work with anti-virus solutions for 10 years now. I used everything, but for professional environment mostly Trend-Micro. Probably it is the best choice, but I will never install this piece of crap on my home pc.
Most of the anti-viruses are bloat crap, doing 100 not needed tasks and eating memory in the spare time. Often their needed crap will shut down a machine quite often, be it an unnecessary and unplanned scan while the server is under load or by triggering something in the network code to make the network card stop working. Even when they work, they can remove the old viruses at best and maybe warn you when you get infected by a new one. Of course if it is any good, you will have to clean it manually.
The last time I checked the anti-virus client it was eating more RAM then a clean Windows XP installation, stop this crap.
Sorry for my rant, I guess if they worked as they should they would never need me, so in a sort of ironic way, I'm glad we have a fucked up situation.
P.S: Symantec is the worst of all, they were crap with their first product and they never managed to give us one product not pulled from a CEO ass. P.S.S: The last time I installed XP was in 2004 and is still running now, I never used anti-viruses, because I never trusted M$ to handle my security in the first place.

Thanks, I'll check the article.
No, a text screen doesn't give the idea to the help desk of what zones are affected.
I want the help desk to know what is the problem before our clients calls us.
Mostly is SNMP and WMI hacking.
....
Not all the vendor respect open standards, so you have to guess how to get the info from an UPS, Printer,
Exactly, I need a good core product that I'll evolve over time.
My mistake. :/
Most of the people are still running a single core CPU.
And if we could remove Adobe Flash player we would never need a second CPU.
Ehm, I guess you are not running M$ or Apple.
VPN baby.
Just connect to a secure VPN server and you can go back to the underground net.
But a company is not a person, surely the freedom of a person comes before the freedom of a company.
I see, still she was doing it in a non profit way.
I guess this is the main difference between USA and EU, in EU if you do it for non-profit reason the punishment is none or minimal.
If she was reselling those song and earning from those sells, they yes, we can talk about damage.
But she was only listening to those songs. Or am I missing something here?
Exactly, it doesn't make any sense.
If I go to a CD store and I steal 2-3 CDs, if they catch me, do I have to pay 2M $?
The punishment can't be bigger then the crime, we stopped to cut hands a long time ago for a reason.

The best defense it to play dumb. With some luck you can get some charges to be dropped, anyway it's worth at least a try.
Probably it is hosted by IE6 with Java .
I'm in a Catholic church society, so it might explain our different point of view.
Most of the people here are getting errors, while still enjoining the benefits of history or Java scripts.
Same story here, it does not work.
This is new, I guess the church changes when it has to.
Sex is a mind game, if your wife is not enough sexually active it's time to read some book and improve your sexual life.
Sex is an integral part of a couple life. Don't listen to the church too much, it won't do you any good.
Exactly it's an old news, I remember 20 years ago when we talked about sex in school, the teacher said it is ok to wank, since the sperm gets renewed.
Thanks for the info, but I'd like to understand how the Windows, Linux, IIS, Apache gets hacked.
I understand that once you got access you can do whatever you want, but I'd like to know what was the first step to compromise the server.
I'm more interested in the server side of the story, how a fake Google ad finds a way on the server?
Probably you are right and the same thing applies everywhere.
Or it comes in a form of an ADD pointing from an infected server?
