  1. I contracted W32.spybot on Google Blogger "Hosts 2% of World's Malware" · · Score: 1

    ...and it was named as googlestubinst.exe !! Symantec Corp stopped it though.

  2. Ignorance is the main cause of attacks. on Is Obsolescence Good Computer Security? · · Score: 1

    The most trojan/spyware/malware laden system I've ever seen was on dialup. I counted 22 different forms of attack on this one system, and it had the first rootkit that I'd ever seen on a Windoze machine. Another dial-up system had the Sex dialer, and that cost this family 2 major things. Trust and over $1000.00 US bucks! He couldn't convince her that he never would spend that kind of money on pr0n. These two systems had the same ISP (cough-Earthlink-cough) which shall remain nameless. I've had broadband since 1998, and the only attack I've seen was when I deliberately set up a "honey pot" with a minimally patched 2000 server to catch Code Red.
