Troj/JSRedir-DO – Viruses and Spyware – Threat Analyses – Threat Center – Sophos. I just got this virus when I was StumbleUponing sites. Interesting. SU has been the biggest source of malware for me.
Interesting that there is more interest in Mac viruses.
I wonder if this means that Mac anti-virus companies have a stronger case to make for purchase of their software? Thanks Intego!
www. Michael Righi .com » Dell Charges $49 to Remove Their Own Spyware. So many people are affected by being monitored and they don’t even know it. I wonder if a “cheap” computer is really worth it?
Mal/Iframe-V – Viruses and Spyware – Threat Analyses – Threat Center – Sophos. I just got this when I was Stumbling. I have gotten more virus from stumbling than just surfing the net. I should write an article about preparations before you use StumbleUpon.
I tried to tell this blog owner that his page gave me a virus but you had to sign-up to communicate with him. Why would I do that given that he isn’t taking care of his site?
One of the neat things about the Site Stats in WordPress is that it will tell you the Google search term someone used to successfully reach your page. I have always seen a ton of misspellings. For example someone typed in “anti virus” and it came up with this anti-virus article I wrote on Sophos. I wonder if there is a plugin that corrects for any misspelling in comments or google searches and helps match the appropriate search query?
Hours after security update, new MacDefender variant evades it. So it is clear that the race is on. The need for Mac anti-virus software is not an option and hasn’t been for some time. I have written before that I believe Sophos is the best antivirus for Mac.
OSX/FakeAV-A – Viruses and Spyware – Threat Analyses – Threat Center – Sophos – StumbleUpon. I actually had this virus yesterday. Sophos found it and deleted it as soon as it found it.
Errata – Certified Pre-0wned – StumbleUpon. This isn’t surprising. Out of this list only twice has Apple been guilty of shipping a virus on their devices. Now that’s quality control for 20 years.
