How to Protect Your Mobile Phone from Viruses?

As mobile phones evolve so too do the malicious software, situations, and perpetrators of such that they can fall prey to. It is imperative that all users of mobile phones remember that other people can and will use your cell phone to invade your privacy and personal space without ever even dialing your mobile phone number.

Because mobile phones have the marvelous talent for keeping a record of all calls made and received, they have become an obvious target for unscrupulous activity. Back in 2006, a number of reports appeared on the internet regarding a company that was marketing a piece of software capable of embedding itself in a mobile phone and remotely transmitting this "call log" to someone else's server.

Getting Trojan Infected Victims

There are basically 3 ways for you to attempt to get vic's:
1. Trick them into running the server themselves
2. Physically install the server yourself
3. Scan for vic's already infected

The easiest method is method 3. Use an AOL IP range, and you will find victims almost instantaneously. Most likely you will tire of these victims quickly, as there is no challenge in this method and also no challenge in the victim's themselves (reason being they use AOL, 'nuff said).

The National ID Trojan Horse

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a national ID bill last week that masqueraded as “immigration reform.” The bill does nothing to address immigration policy, however, nor does it propose deporting a single illegal alien already in our country. It does nothing to address the porous border between the U.S. and Mexico, which is the fundamental problem. In reality, the bill is a Trojan horse. It pretends to offer desperately needed border control in order to con a credulous Congress into sacrificing more of our constitutionally protected liberty.

Supporters claim the national ID scheme is voluntary. However, any state that opts out will automatically make non-persons out of its citizens. The citizens of that state will be unable to have any dealings with the federal government because their ID will not be accepted. They will not be able to fly or to take a train. In essence, in the eyes of the federal government they will cease to exist. It is absurd to call this voluntary, and the proponents of the national ID know that every state will have no choice but to comply.

Simple way to removal of Generic.PWS.j Trojan

Removing Computer Trojans in 3 Quick and Effective Steps

Removing computer Trojans is not usually achieved easily through a standard anti virus program due to the sneaky way they attach themselves onto your computer. For this reason they are referred to as Trojans (like Trojan Horse). Once these parasites install on your PC, they can be incredibly difficult to remove without a quality repair utility.

Two of the most common ways which Trojans install on computers are through spyware
and adware. Some of the virus programs can detect the files but most have a miserable
time removing them.

Windows Defender in Windows Vista

Windows Defender is Microsoft’s anti-spyware program, which it purchased from Giant and re-badged. An examination of the effectiveness of this product is beyond the scope of this article. One excellent feature, however, is that WD (who else wishes they had called it Windows Malware Defender – WMD?) does tell the user in good
detail every time a program (even a legitimate one) takes certain actions, such as writing to the registry. For the informed user, this is useful information.

What is most interesting, though, is that despite all of the other measures taken in Vista to preserve system integrity and reduce the attack surface for malicious exploiters, there is still a need for a standalone (albeit bundled) application
which is dedicated exclusively to dealing with undesirable programs. This, more than any other indication, is tantamount to an admission that Microsoft does not believe
that the new security controls in Vista are going to solve ‘the virus problem’.

Fix Stop 0x00000050 Error With Registry Cleaner

What is a stop 0x00000050 error? Stop error 0x00000050 is an error that stops windows from working properly. It comes from the core of windows and most likely because of registry errors and invalid entries. In most cases, You may receive a stop 0x00000050 error message with the following format:

STOP Error 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

To resolve the issue, you will need to fix corrupt registry.The registry is basically a big database which lies at the core of windows. It's responsible for storing all the settings and options for all the programs on your computer, allowing your PC to "remember" a number of different things even if it's turned off. This is great, but because Windows is constantly using 100's of registry files, it actually ends up saving many of them in totally the wrong way. This makes them corrupt and damaged, making them extremely hard to read, making your computer slower and causing errors.

How do I protect myself from hackers

The term hacker was once used to describe a clever programmer. Today, it’s applied to those who exploit security vulnerabilities to break into a computer system. You can think of it as electronic burglary. Hackers regularly break into both individual computers and large networks. Once they have access, they may install malicious programs, steal confidential data, or perhaps use compromised computers to distribute spam.

Today’s computer software is very complex, comprised of thousands of lines of code. Since software is written by humans, it’s hardly surprising that they contain programming mistakes, known as vulnerabilities. These loopholes are used by hackers to break into systems; they are also used by authors of malicious code to launch their programs automatically on your computer.

Identification A Phishing Email or a Real Email

One of the problems about trying to teach people to avoid Phishing attacks is that the banks often use the exact same tactics that the phishers use. It is mind-numbingly stupid of them to do so, but still we see emails from banks that contain links in them. As a rule I tell people not to click on the links in these emails, but rather to log into their account by typing in the address of their bank by hand.

I had a question for my credit union about one of my accounts with them. The response came back and contained a link that I had to follow in order to reply. The email specifically said not to reply to the email because it wouldn’t be read. So, how do I know this isn’t a phishing attack? First of all I looked at exactly who the email came from. Believe me, this is far from foolproof. Email addresses can be spoofed. The more important sign was that when I followed the link I was not asked for any information at all. I did not have to login, I did not have to verify anything. In addition to this, the email came in response to an inquiry that I initiated and not out of the blue. The reply was relevant to the question I had asked.

Malware attacks via Facebook

Facebook admitted that up to 1800 users had had their profiles defaced by an attack that secretly installed a Trojan while displaying an animated graphic of a court jester blowing a raspberry.

Facebook members are also receiving messages from friends hacked accounts via the social network, linking to third-party websites designed to infect the recipient’s
computer. Hackers have found value in compromising Facebook accounts, stealing usernames and passwords, and then using the profiles as a launching pad for massdistributing malware attacks and spam.

Adware, Spyware and Computer Virus

Adware, spyware and computer virus share some similarities, one of which is that all three aremajor nuisances for computer users. Let's differentiate the three.

Spyware is software that does not intentionally harm your computer. What they do is that they create pathways wherein someone else aside from the computer owner can communicate with the computer. Normally spywares record the various types of web sites you visit which are later used by web advertisers to allow them to send you unwanted emails and pop-ups.

Tips How to Virus Recovery

Why is a computer virus harmful? For the same basic reason that biological viruses are: they damage components that keep systems healthy. Some are relatively benign - they generate annoying, juvenile messages or crash the system once, then go away. But many are specifically designed to do substantial harm - by deleting files needed to run word processing programs or perform essential operating system tasks. Some prepare the way for further attacks by opening up access to administrative functions.

Combating them is simple - install antivirus software, keep it up-to-date and running in the background and don't open email attachments from unknown sources. Nonetheless, odds are high that someday the system will be infected. Important data will be lost, essential program and operating system files will be zapped. Now what?
First thing: Don't panic. You may not even be infected. Before implementing a cure you have to diagnose properly.

Protect and Prevent Computer from Spyware Infection

Spyware is malicious software (malware) that installs itself or runs on your computer without providing you with adequate notice, consent or control. It can monitor your online behaviour or collect your sensitive personal information such as personally identifiable information and passwords. It could as well display annoying popup advertisements, change your computer settings or cause your computer to run slowly. Because spyware does not obtain your consent before installing or running on your computer, and may not immediately display any noticeable symptoms after it infects your computer, you might not actually be aware of its presence in your PC.

There are many sources from which spyware and other malware could be introduced into your system. Spyware is most commonly installed through free software downloads, such as file sharing, screen savers and search toolbars. Also, they could be installed by websites, downloaded programs, or software you might install from a CD, DVD, external hard disk, or other removable media.

Watch Out Potentially Unwanted Programs

Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) is the generic term given to programs that find their way onto a machine, and that the user may or may not want to have. Although often deposited by way of Trojan horse, PUPs can be made by a legitimate corporate entity for some beneficial purpose.

A PUP is defined as ANY piece of code which a reasonably security-or privacy-minded computer user may want to be informed of, and, in some cases, remove. Even though they may be intended for legitimate corporate use, PUPs can alter the security state of the computer on which they are installed, and therefore most users will want to be aware of them.

The main types of PUPs are:

When and how to launch an attack Trojan Horses and Bots

In the often repeated story of the Trojan horse used to get inside and attack the fortifi ed and well-defended city of Troy from within, invaders used something that was seemingly benign as a vehicle for the attack: a large wooden horse. Similarly, Trojan horses of the information security world are seemingly benign programs that attack computer systems from within.

Once inside the computer, a Trojan program commonly replaces key system fi les and/or programs with malicious versions of the same. When these programs are executed,
they perform their predetermined destructive activities, and users are powerless to stop them. For example, an attacker may replace one of the Windows operating system dynamically linked libraries (DLLs) with a malicious version. DLLs are program fi les that Windows calls on to perform various tasks. An attacker may replace one of these DLLs with a Trojan horse version that does everything the normal DLL did, and a little more. That little more may be any number of things, from reformatting the
hard drive to stealing credit card numbers.

How to handle Phising Attack

Consequences

As the phishers can use so many techniques and can even combine them, it is rather difficult to tell if an email request comes from officials or not.

What are the consequences of disclosing confidential information?
$ The phishers can run up charges on your account.
$ They can open new accounts, sign utility or loan contracts in your name.
$ They can use a false ID and commit crimes using your personal information.

Do not bite the bait!
Do not fill in email forms concerning confidential information. Any trustful service provider uses secure websites and digital certificates.
Do not click on links provided by email, especially if you were not expecting that email. Contact the sender to verify if it was his/her intention to send this email (use the contact number the company gave you, not the one in the email).
Do not reply. Delete the message and check with the real company (use the contact number the company gave you, not the one in the email).
Do not click to follow the link provided in such a message. Type the address in the browser yourself.

Phising Definition, Concept and Techniques

What is phishing

Phishing, also known as "brand spoofing", is an elaborate form of data theft, targeting possible clients of ISP companies, banks, online banking services, government agencies etc.

When submitting your email address on the Internet, filling in online forms, accessing newsgroups or websites, your data can be stolen by Internet crawling spiders and then used without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes.

The Phishing Concept

Phishers develop counterfeit webpages, which imitate the corporate image of well-known, trusted service providers. Then, using collected or random generated email addresses, they "throw the bait".

Top 10 Computer Security Threats

1. Malicious spam invades blogs, search engines, forums and Web sites
Websense predicts that hackers will increasingly use Web spam to post URLs to malicious sites within forums, blogs, in the commentary or 'talk-back' sections of news sites and on compromised Web sites. This activity not only drives traffic to the infected Web sites but also assists in the purveyor's site sitting higher on search engine rankings, increasing the risk that users will visit the site.

2. Attackers use Web's 'weakest links' to launch attacks
The Web is an entanglement of links and content. The advent of Web 2.0 additions such as Google Adsense, mash-ups, widgets, and social networks along with the massive amounts of Web advertisements linked to Web pages have increased the likelihood of 'weak links' -- or Web sites and content that are vulnerable to compromises.

Secure your wireless network from hacker

If your wireless network is not secure, a hacker can easily intercept the data you send and receive, or access files saved on your computer – all from the comfort of their own sofa.

The major benefit, of course, is that you can use your computer anywhere in the house or office (as long as it’s within range of your wireless router). However, there are potential risks involved in wireless networking - unless you make your network secure:
A hacker could intercept any data you send and receive;

How to keep your inbox spam free

Spam is anonymous, unsolicited bulk email – it is effectively the email equivalent of physical junk mail delivered through the post. It is sent out in mass quantities by spammers who make money from the small percentage of recipients that actually respond. Spam is also used for phishing and to spread malicious code.

Over the last decade, the use of and delivery of spam has evolved. While spam was initially sent directly to computer users and easily blocked, in the coming years, high-speed Internet connections allowed spammers to send out mass mailings inexpensively and quickly, as did the discovery that individual users' modems could be accessed by anyone from anywhere in the world since they had no protection at all. In other words, unsuspecting internet users' connections could be used to send their spam in much higher volume.
