The Treacherous Malware Times: Evolving Threats, Evolving Tactics
May 12, 2009 by
Malware is not what it used to be ten years ago. The new strains are much more violent and much more permanent in their result.
In the past, I would usually encounter malware that ran as a process that you could kill and then remove. In more serious circumstances, you may have been required to do a reboot before the problem software was completely removed. Not so with the new strains of malware…they intend to leave a permanent reminder that they were there.
Trojans such as Trojan FakeAlert are almost like child’s play compared to some of the more vicious malware monsters out there today. Just this evening I went out on a call to repair a computer that the owner stated, “the computer has been progressively getting slower and slower and after clicking around it control panel the computer will not boot.” What happened is much more sophisticated than the quoted explanation above.
In reality, the computer boots to the point that the mouse arrows shows but the desktop screen is black. Even though the problem above may be do to malware using a spyware doctor download or other malware removal tool may not fix the problem as in this case. The problem is that the malware has completed its damage and now the explorer.exe or one or more of its support files has been corrupted.
The best action to take is a preventive action. Fortify your system with software like PC Tools Internet Security, Norton Internet Security or another reputable security software package so that you are protected from the bulk of these attacks.
Maybe because Google owns YouTube so they can make their own rules?

From what I've been reading try downloading Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. If for some reason you can't download it, try using another computer and put it on a flash drive. Then copy it over and install. You may be able to install it directly to the flash drive, and just run it from there.
Hi,
I am Silki, running a successful blog on Internet Security at
I just came across your site through a Google Query and found some interesting stuff here. I found some interesting links in your blogroll, related to the area, where I have been presently working and also some of the sites are related to the Internet Security niche in which I am operating.
I was wondering if my blog could find a place there. I invite you to take a deep hard look at my site, and if you can find value for your visitors, you can consider it for your blogroll.
The details of my blog are as follows.

Looking for a favorable reply from you as per your convenience.

PSA: from someone who knows, uninstall all bullshit anti-malware apps from ur PC and get MS Security Essentials or other reputable software.
I am most likely on a track like millions. Used to hate the Mac concept. (for 20 years) Resented Apple pushing it in schools. Then I bought an iPod. Impressed that it never broke. simply did what it was suppose to. so i bought an iphone. Same. So I bought a mac book. no more frustration. so I bought aapl. Get it? the ipod spurred phone sale buy-in which will spurr lap top sales. Huge growth will come. My only problem is with software selection for work for a small office. Is there anyhting mac has that is as good as outlook for email etc AND tasks?
