Re: Stupid users need to be taught! Ya really?
They will be "Re-infected" within the first 10 minutes of connecting Win 2000 to broadband.
I work at a small PC repair shop, and a majority of the customers we get have the Fake Anti-virus usuall
(PC tools, Antivirus 2009, ect ect) Which we only recommend a "Nuke and Pave" installing only the OS (no older then XP)
, updates, drivers, and AVG and Firefox....that's it.
Most of the customers don't even know they are infected, and they think the FAKE anti-virus is a real program.
Furthermore, how can you prove that the customer knew he was infected???
Some bots are not as obvious and run in the background. |

The way to install an Operating System from scratch is to wipe the drive, install the system from a CD/DVD followed by installing the updates and Virus Programs from CD/DVD disks (the updates being downloads written to the CD-R/DVD-R or pressed copies issued by the Publisher). Only THEN do you actually hook the machine to the Internet (since it should now be protected and up-to-date).
I do this for Macs for people in my user group without fast connctions (the updates can be downloaded and then applied offline) and I assume that Windows Updates can also be downloaded and the downloads applied offline. |
