It has been awhile I last encounter malware attack on my pc, last night was the latest. But it really don't worry me much, as I know I have many online malware scanners on my pc. So I could step back and let them do the job. OK, latest malware which didn't have a chance to intrude my pc:
Trojan.Galapoper.A seen in [www.inohost.com]<- Don't click this link. It downloaded file contain this virus will change win32.exe file in your pc.
This file was found and deleted by my antivirus as soon as the download done. At least I have this virus in my malware zoo ;)
Take note that, in this world, there is no free thing. Don't be so naive to think that freeware is really free and did not have some of drawback. Unless it is really proven like open source ware like mozilla, open office, to name few. There is malware behind this ware most of the time. I would like to share my experience on spyware. Last Sunday, I browse for free powerpoint template, and so attract to this site which provide what I need. It was so attractive because the template is so professionally done. "Who on Earth will not download this?" :p I downloaded it and after finish dowloaded it, the IE7 browser was turn into spyware site which of course my firewall didn't permit it. Thanks to my 3 layered firewalls + OS firewall [change monitoring], I still survive. Anyway, I do get that template anyway, without any malware. :D
So, I really recommend using ZoneAlarm Firewall Pro for those who are using XP and below. Vista? no need le... Microsoft develop similar safety features into their current Vista development. It would be nice if I get to touch on the features in the future.
Anyway, for safer download of software on the net, go to www.download.com. <-Proven no malware! [0%]
