Re: There isn't one. That's the point.There is no perfect OS, by the by. Macintosh, Linux, etc...they all have their un-patched vulnerabilities. Windows just wins all the attention, due to their 95% market share.
Had any other OS been in 95%ish market use, you could bet we'd be seeing a lot more hacker/virus witer attention to said OS, and the whole cycle would continue again. | |

Re: There isn't one. That's the point.Vulnerabilities...yes
Worms that can install themselves and propagate automatically...no
Nice try though. | |

Since when did the viruses/worms etc. come from the OS? | |

Re: There isn't one. That's the point.Vulnerabilities come from any OS you run. It's up to the creative virii/worm writers out there to run with them.
Anybody who believes that ANY OS that has all the world's virii/worm/malware manufacturers targeting it, and wouldn't be affected, obviously puts WAY too much trust in that OS. Personally, Linux is my favorite OS when it comes to security, but truth be told, no computer is 100% secure when it hooks into the internet. Why do you think that companies use private networks when security is a mission-critical concern? | |

Cool Web Search is much bigger concernI have been reading about origins and tactics used by CWS. I would be not surprised much to find that the next variation of CWS includes this exploit.
They (the group) that is writing CWS included the last exploit of IE. Any exploit of IE seems to be included in next CWS variation.
CWS is one of the hardest things to get out of a system. CWShredder author just plain gave up. I really suspect CWS is being supported by a organized group (mob, Russian mob). Who knows. If you do know. Microsoft has a cool 250,000 for you. | |

Re: Cool Web Search is much bigger concernWay too many links. Some are here on dslreports.
The source of CWS is unknown. But follow the money. Someone is being paid to hijack your browser. See where the money go's for those clicks.
Even the CWShedder website gives in-site to tactics. | |

You people crack me up....LOLOMG....Oh n0s.....the sky is falling....we're all gonna die!!!!  All this means right now is that a TRULY SMART Black Hat was able to quickly mod the worm to fit the exploit. Since most black hats (and the hordes of wannabees) are pretty st00pid skiddies, this is an isolated incident at best...no need to panic for nothing. There's nothing really all that new or revolutionary in this, it's just the 'cookie-cutter' approach to virus writing, that's been around for some time. Now impress me with a new virus/worm/etc.. based on a completely unknown vulnerability, THEN 'yall can start preaching that the Cyber War this, Jihad that & the Russian Mob(WTF?) are coming soon to a town near you........  | |

Send the ArmyOK, this has gotten far enough, its time to send the army to find these dumb terrorists supporting virus writers, and gun them down. Im pretty sure we all payed good money for our computers, and we shouldnt have it be virus ridden. | |
