Is Norton getting lazy? - ad aware antivirus norton 2007
In the past year have been infected with Spy Sheriff, in spite of use of Norton Antivirus 2007 and the regular analysis with Ad-Aware. All horses in Norton, and Norton all the people could not my computer working properly again. Ad-Aware is so helpless. I ended up manually removing Spy Sheriff.
I have repeatedly infected, and each time that you could bogusware Norton Antivirus 2008 ineffective. I recently downloaded Super Spy product destroyers. We found: 28 infections (cookies) and got 27 of them. However, it would core.cashe.dsk (I do not know the official name). I manually deleted.
CcSvcHst.exe If it was not enough angry and eat 99% of my system resources. I read on the web is actually a bug in Norton Antivirus has caused the problem. I had to manually correct, that was good.
If this is the course of things to come?

Ad Aware Antivirus Norton 2007 Is Norton Getting Lazy?
8 comments:
Spy Sheriff is in the Smitfraud family of infections that occur when Zlob Trojan is downloaded onto your computer. International crime gangs, that produce this garbage constantly change from infection to detection of generalists all-in-one program against malicious software such as Norton avoided. Often it is mutated in time .. .. The Nortons of the world simply does not update quickly enough to take advantage of these new variants.
This Smitfraud malware is installed in one of two ways.
If we find a site infected with malicious code that displays the website of your browser and then make a number of weaknesses, which often target the vulnerabilities in Windows and other software.
A computer is fully updated and will be) patches (Windows and other programs to ward off usually in a position to attack, without the anti-virus software running at all!
That's how it is important to keep all software updated. I recommend the Secunia Software Inspector. Online check for possible violationBLE, because Windows programs, Adobe, Winamp, Java, etc., and alerts you when critical security updates needed. It takes about 30 seconds and the results may surprise you!
Use once a month.
Very cool and free at:

If the site is "evil" can be infected by the above method, then uses "social engineering" that one you to keep you trying to infect.
For example, one of you can get this Smitfraud infection if you try to view a video on a website. The website can you say "need" a codec or Active-X controls and download them to watch the video. It is really a trap. A scam, if you want. This is not a codec at all. (Video plays very well without that "Codec")! What actually download is our old friend, the Zlob Trojan.
This Trojan connects to the Internet "phone home" and install the bogusware "team with the knowledge from outside whatsoever.
We must never allow any website to download some of 1000%, unless you know and love the site, and you know exactly what you are downloading. These downloads are almost all forms of malware.
Even with common sense, is arrest the infection without anti-virus software at all!
__________________________
Remember that there is no anti-virus software can never be called upon to provide protection to 100%. None of them, free or paid for Norton, is no exception. Many only detects 85 to 95% of all known viruses. When a new virus is released, no signature-based anti-virus will detect it for several hours to several days. And more than 1,200 new variants of viruses and other malware are created by the "black hats" each day.
You should consider an anti-virus to be your "last line of defense." Secure web surfing and downloading practices (NOT P2P, Limewire, do not ... sorry), and maintenance of Windows and all installed software with all critical updates and security patches need to frontload theirINE defense.
The best safety equipment is that which lies between the keyboard and chair!
Good luck.
I could use Norton antivirus 360, and a year ago, when I recently renewed my subscription, I never had problems and I am not an expert, can not be properly installed or the computer s Dislikes
You should McAfee.

It is unfair to criticize Norton is not able to remove Spy Sheriff. Only a sufficiently effective means to eliminate the rogue program that is too SmitfraudFix. You know, sounded like a bad golf clubs blame their bad shots. So tell me what you see on your PC Spy Sheriff, in the first place? YOU by clicking on the download pop-ups or alleged connection to the rogue program. You're right, there is a trend of things to come when people can buy computers for themselves and spoiled children, creating a massive increase in the number of malware infections in recent years due to a lack of knowledge. To do in the future, do not blame the products most likely to blame.
EDIT: You know, that can be dropped into another program Snape have again. They say they found 28 infections and eliminate 27 of them. Do you have to pay for the acquisition? How do you want to know that they are not false positives? Have you tried A-3 and the Plaza SuperAntispyware? Both programs are free. If you are familiar with PC's, then you should know about Ro --EUL program and the nature of their infection.
Have you PEBKAC Virus!? I can make a connection available to show you more you want perfection.

Norton is not designed to remove spyware offenders, such as the sheriff. You will need the free version of Rogue Remover get rid of threats like spyware sheriff. So go ahead and download them, because I have great destroyer Rogue Spyware is another application, they must be going on. If Norton is used more than any other security program. If the last patch error Active X should be OK now, but there will always be new exploits, with software from Norton. There are other security programs that are accustomed to, but not as much as Norton.
Without exception, the leading brands of anti-virus product suites garbage. You will not find a computer user that something tricky like Norton or McAffee used. The programs are bloated, wasteful and difficult to remove inneffective. Stop eating large amounts of memory and CPU time of loss.
You said that you will be protected behind a hardware firewall, so that the vectors of infection, we only worry about manually run executable malware and browser vulnerabilities.
My advice would be to immediately remove Norton (there really a "tool for removing Nortol [http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsg here ...], because ingrain itself) into the system to a large extent. By there you have two options.
You look like a very clever computer user. The infection does not come from nowhere, if mistaken on the Web, you do not have a constant struggle Bad Virus. (You can at any time to explore, from time to time with things like Spybot S & D and AdAware, which http://www.pand both free and virus scan online at sites such as Pandasoft [asoft.us/pandasoftware/2 / ...]. You can also use a browser like Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. A vulnerability is generally less, and are available in general are less used.
If you think your girlfriend is due to infection (and yes, MySpace is for ads that can be managed by malicious Web sites or run malicious JavaScript to infect computers known), then install a program that can be used for combat against certain viruses ( as Avast!, my personal recommendation [http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht clog ...] or AVG [http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download- narrow. your machine .. less than Norton, and equally effective (and free!).
Another option might consider is to create an isolated environment to use for your girlfriend, so that if something stupid (by clicking on pop-ups, etc.) are not counted. You can try to create a virtual machine for your server (VMWare does nothing). However, it is relatively complicated, and perhaps too much for your situation.
