Autorun Eater v2.1
2008-02-02 13:37:00
Autorun Eater was born due to increase of malwares using the‘autorun.inf’ tactic to infect users unknowingly be it fromflash drives, removable hard disks or any other removable storagedevice. When an infected device is infected with a malware and an‘autorun.inf’ file is dropped, the shell menu is normallymodified to execute the malware whenever the unsuspecting userdouble-clicks the infected drive. Most anti-malware apps out there will almost instantly remove anymalware detected but more often than not they leave the‘autorun.inf’ file behind. And what if the anti-malware appfails to catch the malware? This is where Autorun Eater comes into thepicture. Autorun Eater will remove any suspicious‘autorun.inf’ files even before the user attempts to accessthe drive. This files are auto-backup’ed in case of falsepositives.http://oldmcdonald.wordpress.com/

Phishers use DNS tricks
2008-01-31 09:25:00
Anti-phishing group reports a sharp rise in malware that directs users to DNS servers controlled by phishers.The latest information on phishing indicates that fraudsters are increasingly using malicious software to direct users to their deceptive sites. The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) said in a new report Thursday that it saw a sharp rise in November in malware that directs users to DNS (Domain Name System) servers controlled by phishers. DNS servers play a crucial role in locating Web sites. The servers translate a domain name into an IP (Internet protocol) address, enabling a Web site to be located and accessed through a browser. Often, the phishers will set up their own DNS server that works fine most of the time but can redirect to their own malicious site. more here
