Pittsburgh, PA | Get Ready 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!  | |

Pittsburgh, PA | 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.

| | people never learn How I feel.. I install the standard anti-spyware, anti-virus etc, and clean off the computer. I have typed up instructions I tape to the monitor. I instruct them, and sit next to them while they go through the process. I wrote a little vb program that pop-ups twice a month reminding them. I even put it in Windows scheduled tasks sometimes. And guess what... the same people call me 3 months later to do it all again. If they want to keep giving me $50 for 30 minutes of work I'm happy... but I'll never understand it.... | |

Lake Hiawatha, NJ | Keep in mind that Sunbelt IS GIANT-Anti-Spyware, and there are stipulations in place that make the new owner of GIANT, MS, to share all advances and updates to Sunbelt. However, it would appear that Sunbelt has advanced beyond MS in their efforts to thwart spyware.

| | Yup I agree Aurora is much more of a bitch than any Coolwhatever. a nice /f on the del command vanquished the nail.exe file for me, the rest was easy to whack. People really don't understand this crap. I don't know how many clients have said
Customer Well how many viruses did you find?
And I say oooh 10 or so
Customer Well are they all gone
Me yup
Me I also found 3,186 different spyware components on your system
Customer Ok
Me The only difference between spyware and viruses is that by definition a virus replicates itself
Customer Ok
At this point I've lost them, and the subsequent explaination of how to do anything involving windows updates, A/V updates and scans, or spyware scans...I can acutally see my words pouring out of their ears with an oatmeal like consistency...forget it. I feel your pain guys. The only reason I've happened by here this evening is cause supremedslemperor or whatever his handle is linked this on his blizog. Nice to meet yall.

Fix East | Since I Installed BOClean I've had more time to focus on what I want to do.
I don't get it.. between Bo & FF I have to go out of my way to find a Trojan/spyware exploit to play with.
I would prefer my customers to pay BOClean once than to constantly hassle me with this crap.

| | Oh lord Lovely...now I've got to deal with people inquiring on how to use Spybot, Adaware, Ccleaner, and PC Cillin. Apparently the support line at work has become the "teach me about computers" line.
I suppose I could enforce the rule of "consult the manufacture" deal. Although, I wouldn't want to loose a customer over that way.
Going through the steps with the same person over and over again because they don't write it down or don't constantly do it so they know how gets very, very old quickly. As I'm sure many of you know. Perhaps this will net me some extra cash, who knows. | |
