Re: Spycar suite of free Exploit Tests

Ok anyone care to tell how they beat the IE tests? Instead of just gloating about.

Maybe I'm more of a newb when it comes to protecting IE, but I never use it for the most part anyway.

It would still be nice to know how to protect IE though. Thanks if anyone can recommend how to pass the IE tests.

MSAS, WinPatrol, Prevx, Tea Timer and Pest Patrol seemed to fail all the IE tests....I made a mistake I did pass the IE-SetHomePage and IE-SetSearchPage tests....It would still be nice to know how to protect IE though
The TeatTimer feature does monitor those 2 keys among a few others and is what alerted you ?

Those 2 keys in particular IMHO are more important to the malware writers than the 8 IE Policies\Microsoft\Internet explorer\Control panel tests that you failed. They are out for the fast buck and the quickest way would be thru keys such as that versus the disabling of the tabs in IE's Interent Options which you failed. You want find many of the anti-malware programs covering the IE policy keys. For that you would need to consider a Registry mointoring type program....whether it be the polling type or kernel based products like Regdefend.

You could also use software restriction policies on XP pro to block registry keys and file changes.
