One thing I dont understand about malware in general - how do people get infected I know it sounds stupid but I rarely get hit by something
quite odd.
I always ask my clients what were you doing at the time of infection, I rarely get a legitimate answer however when I do it is always surfing dodgy sites ...
So.. how do you get spybot to clear the registry when 30% of the infections lock you out of the registry?
As or infections.. and being infected..
User opens any and every email attachments and all..
Allow all pop-ups to do as promised
Machine is not fully patched..
99% of users allow all scripts and activeX to run
(How many don't use Spyware blaster? or have a add/bad site blocking HOSTS file? )
How do you know what a Bad site is? I don't .. is it the porn sites? is it the Auction Sites?.. or is it the hacking sites? the P2P link sites, Facebook? Myspace? Ask? Tucows? Tudogs? ... mysite? ebay? cnn? AO?
I don't know.. .. I've been hit on trusted sites, and have seen clients machines hit from all of the above... all via a bad advertisement or a script in the page..
sometimes from deliberate clicks on pages, some times from auto run scripts..
