Is your computer a criminal?

Your home computer may be committing a crime at this very moment. It
might be sending out spam. It might be buying stock as part of a pump-
and-dump scheme. Or it might be helping attack the Internet itself,
silently and invisibly, as you read this story. And the odds your
computer is a criminal are quickly rising.
The Web, some say, has been turned into an operating system for
criminals. Computer viruses that hijack PCs and turn them into
electronic robots, or "bots," have become the killer app. The
operation of networks of hijacked computers is so lucrative that
hackers are actually fighting electronic wars over them, a story we
will explore next week in part two of this series.
New hacker techniques make these virus attacks so subtle that there is
no way you would know your computer is a criminal. And there is a
growing sense among security experts that hackers have gained the
upper hand in what was once a neck-and-neck arms race.
Bots can squirm their way onto home computers in myriad ways: a virus-
laden e-mail or a booby-trapped Web site are the most common. But some
viruses can attack your computer in the background, silently worming
their way through networks via unprotected ports and porous firewalls,
using vulnerabilities that software companies don't know about.
Earlier this year, Internet founding father Vint Cerf dramatically
suggested that 150 million computers worldwide may have been hijacked
by criminals. Most experts think that his estimate is high, but they
still count infected computers in the millions, or tens of millions.
And there is general consensus that the Internet is under assault from
virus writers like never before.
Listen carefully to the words of those who are trying to help us keep
our computers safe from Net criminals and you'll get a creeping sense
that the boat is leaking faster than they can bail out the water.
There were two-and-a-half times as many viruses released in 2006 as in
2005, and the growth rate has continued through the first quarter of
2007, said Eugene Kaspersky, chief researcher for Kaspersky Labs.
Antivirus firms "may not be able to withstand the onslaught," he said
at a recent computer security conference. "This is a competition where
the antivirus companies, I fear, are not in a good position."
Another antivirus executive put it more bluntly in a private
conversation. "I think we've failed," said the official, speaking on
condition of anonymity. Computer security firms often use hyperbole to
help get attention for their products, but expressing helplessness is
something new.

I'd be much more worried about what this software actually does. We don't
another clone of well-known spamware like Spybot S&D, which spams the
registry full of ClSID entries in good belief that this would actually help
in any way.

Based on the above quote, I can see you do not know anything abou
INVISUS, nor did you take the time to go check it out.

Yes we all know there is Free software, and most of us who are in th
IT arena will look for free stuff before we pay for anything. That i
what EGO will do for you.

And then there are a few of us who will reverse engineer the free stuf
to find the wholes and cracks and either let the company know, or creat
an exploit and write about how the free software sucks.

However, since most folks don;t have a clue about sercurity an
protecting their computers INVISUS does offer a great service includin
the software, identity theft and legal protection and the free tec
support just in case something does happen.

And since they are supported by companies like Sophos Labs, Sunbel
software and a few others, you can bet the software they use i
enterprise grade.

So before you show you lack of knowledge on a subject go do a littl
digging and get off your high horse.

Never Give Up,

Tro

Based on your response, I see you know little about Usenet etiquette.
People who post advertisements in discussion groups, with no history
of participation in the groups, are going to get flamed. Spammers are
universally despised.

I am doubtful that those 'value added services' are of much value at
all. I am even more doubtful about companies who operate affiliate
schemes.

Perhaps not for much longer.

I did a little digging and posted this to a couple of other groups
where the original post appeared:

Smith Family Robinson is trying to make a little money by touting
Invisus PestPatrol, a rebranded anti-spyware product. It is listed
here under "Legitimate/Licensed Clones":
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

People looking for such software should scroll down to the
"Trustworthy Anti-Spyware Products" section and choose one of those
instead. The original Pest Patrol can be found here:
http://www.ca.com/products/pestpatrol/

Don't support spammers.

The information you just provided is outdated. INVISUS canceled their
partnership with CA who developed Pest Patrol in 2005 right after CA
inked their deal with AOL.

INVISUS has been using SunBelt's CounterSpy SDK ever since.

Hey great thread, your point on spamming is understood.

Never Give Up,

Fair enough. My info is not outdated.

Then the post was even more inappropriate.

[I've snipped the rest because I can't be bothered to tidy it up and
it's impossible for others to distiguish between my original text and
your reply]

It's not. They are calling it Invisus PestPatrol so I pointed to the
real Pest Patrol (whatever they are actually using). Spyware Warrior
gives up-to-date info.

If you follow the Spyware Warrior link you will see the reference to
CounterSpy.

OK.
