Members jazzwee Posted July 26, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 Anyone who intentionally puts a virus in a post in this forum should be banned forever. When we become a member here we expect some community here. This is really offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yoozer Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 I can't confirm it - I don't use a virusscanner. The exploit doesn't get through if you have this update here installed > http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS05-036.mspx installed. I'll move it to the moderator forum just in case and see what's in there that might be the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot first - questions later More seriously - even of this is in doubt - his posts that you have had to moderate arnt.

Members Khazul Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 Originally posted by HomeInMyShoes Viruses do exist for Macintoshes, but they are much more rare. Microsoft has done a terrible job with their OS's structure, add in the fact that if you were going to write a virus and wanted to affect the most people what OS would you target, and it's no wonder Windoze is plagued by this stuff. I think that is a a misconception from earlier versions which were bad - all OS's were. I dont see that any of the other modern common OSs are actually any better, and if anything may not be. I certainly remember the years when linux was a joke from an exploits perspective - I had a hand in fixing several of them back in those days. Most viri will target the windows platform - because its the most common by far and thus a lame virus programmer can have the greatest impact and have a chance of hitting both servers and desktops. Its barely worth targetting one of the apple operating systems - that doesnt make it actually more secure at a code level, it just means an apple user is far less likely to be a target and is thus probably alot safer. All OS vendors are in a catch up phase at the moment with respect to code security - some much further ahead than others and throwing *alot* more resources at the problem - in MS case - they actually stopped OS development for several months to *just* focus on reviewing code for potential exploits and fixed alot in the process as well as creating lots of guidelines for ISVs. Cant speak for apple as I dont know - they seem to rewirite their platform ever few years anyway just to annoy developers Whether current windows is now the most secure platform or not - it still only takes one exploit to be discovered to make it worth targetting. And as with all OSs - users need to ensure thay have the latest patches and fixes if thir machine is on a network - so if this particular exploit gets you - well - you have had a year to be prepared for it - shouldnt have switched off windows update - thats usually the real problem (given there are lamers who write viri) - users (regardless of platform) dont keep upto date with fixes.

Could you let me know in more detail - ie specifically what ads/spyware etc you are seeing? I dont get any of that - using ie7b3. PM me if you like.

Members Khazul Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 Originally posted by BillyWa Avenue A. Not even sure what that is. OK - your browser has been hijacked. Sounds like an adware hijack that random throw up ads, popups etc and sometmes they do so when you visit specific sites - ms.com would be an obvious choice to ensure ms get the blame. I suggest trying anti-spyware app on it. Also look in the IE plugins - you could disable it from there. What version of windows are you running - is it pre XP+SP2? There are NEVER any third party popups on microsoft.com and certainly there would not be adware/spyware. I dont even think microsoft themselves use popups except for the occasional customer feedback survey thing. [Disclaimer - personal observations/opinions only].
