@comcast.net | That is, by far, one of the most ridiculous attempts at hiding "FIRST POST!" I've ever seen. At least make a little bit of sense. |

A public execution is not warranted for virus
writers and spyware app's distributors.
Sorry all the look at me I don't spy on you as
much anymore. WON'T FLY !!!
Get the hint GATOR. We don't want what you are trying
to sell. EVER!!!
I stopped counting the number system dis-infected that
I have done. CWS and all variations were the worse. |

LOL!!! Get Ready IT Tech Men for the wave of Newbie onslaught that is about to commence.
Just wait till this little tidbit gets out on the general, non technical, news programs. The Newbies will be reaching for their phones to call their friendly neighborhood tech guy to come clean their PC off....FAST! Especially when the non technical news anchors murder this story into the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenario. Looks like August is going to be a banner month for my pocket!  |

Will this be the story to finally get people to realize the dangers of spyware?
Or is this simply more fear mongering? All I know is I'm going to run spybot on all my family members computers now... |

Not in the slightest. It's just such an obvious attempt at a first post that it's causing me physical pain. |

Re: Get Ready
I won't clean the computer unless the clueless
user. Sits with me and listens to why they
paying me big bucks to make there computer
work again. After they agree, I will fix it.
I also make sure they will "INFORM" all the other
members of the family about the changes.
Safe computing doesn't mean a thing. If junior
still loads that really cute P2P app. (AGAIN! ARG!!) |

Re: Get Ready
Oh trust me, they watch, they ask questions, I even leave the cleaning tools on their machines to use and instruct them how to update and use them. The problem is only a small number of my users actually do what I've instructed them to do. The other group either just uses the apps, and don't update them, or they don't use them at all. Hey I don't care, if they want to keep paying me to clean off their PC's, who am I to argue?
My Wife's Sister got a free machine from a friend. This machine got owned over the internet. Beings she didn't know how to fix it, she just bought a new one. I told her to tell her friend that if she isn't careful, the same thing will happen again, and to call me so I can lock the PC down. Haven't heard a word since. |

| True, they are getting tougher to clean
mmmm....
Cleaned up the in-law's portable last weekend from a version of Coolwebsearch that no one of the anti stuff was able to remove. Even the current version of CWSShredder, while it could flag one of the versions, was not able to clean it.
I ended up having to do a boot log and selective process killing to finally find the culprit dropper.
Anyone has more details on this so called new version to see if it was the one that I battled? |

| And coolwebsearch goes best with....
Aurora.
I've been finding these two cozing up together in unseemly places.
Aurora is the toughest spyware to clean I've ever come across. It uses randomly generated filnames launched from the Nail.exe file hooked into the explorer shell.
It took me forever to name the culprit, identify the initial executable and finally clean all the crud out.
coolwebsearch seemed to pop up pages that would allow Aurora to download, installing without an ActiveX dialog.
The big 3 antispys were helpless against it.
