This goes to demonstrate that "trusted sites" can still serve up malware.
Frustrating. I operate a locked-down IE7 .. greatly utilizing the trusted/NOT scheme.

Presently, should KIS7's web protection component fail to detect a trusted(s) compromise .. there is no second line.

The infection of legitimate and normally trusted websites also brings mitigation and recovery to the forefront. If one assumes that at some point they may be breached, then they can start putting together a response and recovery plan. One example is a mini-TTX where we "pretend" that our PC has been hacked, corrupted, logins stolen, ID and CC info captured etc. and our recent available backups may be suspect. From that point, practice or develop a response and document as needed.

Although this PPT relates to school and organizational training, many of the tips for planning and doing the exercise are applicable.

Does the web scanner of *any* antivirus program really offer any needed protection?

If the antivirus program is going to catch the threat, would it not catch it just as well without the use of a web scanner?

I have often wondered if including a web scanner in an antivirus program was more marketing hype than truly being useful. Am I wrong?
