Three biggest Internet threats of 2007

Recently I have found an article with three biggest threats on Internet in 2007. To sum it up, these are as follow:

Internet Explorer
That's the most popular online browsers and that's why most of the worlds hackers attack it. If you use IE, be careful with ActiveX, as it is the main problem today ;)

Phishing and Identity Theft
OK. These are all of the Paypal, E-bay, Amazon and similar messages we get daily. "
We regret to inform you that we had to lock your PayPal access because we have reasons to believe that your account may have been compromised by outside parties. In order to protect your sensitive information , we temporally suspended your account."
Never ever trust such a bullshit..

Malware
Think before clicking some suspicious links. Keep your anti virus up-to date and use firewall.

Worst spyware ever: THE SPYLOCKER

This is a rogue anti-spyware. And rogue anti-spyware means, that once installed this program finds tens or hundreds of various viruses and trojans on your pc, which aren't there actually. Yea, it's quite a good idea to tell user that his pc is infected and he should buy spylocker to remove all this malicious stuff.. However, it is useless.. But that's not all you, as you not only pay money for it, but send your personal info to them and they sell it to third parties, that's why your Internet browser will start popping-up various advertisements when you are online..
NEVER DOWNLOAD AND USE SPYLOCKER!
That's right.. and if you have already done this, it's time to remove it. First of all close these processes:

SpyLocker.exe
avD.exe
isamntr.exe
pmmnt.exe
pmsnrr.exe
codecaddon1169[1].exe


Then remove Spylocker by deleting these .dll files on your pc:

xkrdk.dll
onwtj.dll
fyxkaah.dll
higehsg.dll
geplxss.dll
tvomnc.dll
tahxqcj.dll
qvjpt.dll
oyopu.dll
yronl.dll
isadd.dll

As well as these:

spylocker.exe
xkrdk.dll
onwtj.dll
fyxkaah.dll
higehsg.dll
geplxss.dll
tvomnc.dll
tahxqcj.dll
qvjpt.dll
oyopu.dll
yronl.dll
isadd.dll
pmsnrr.exe
pmmnt.exe
isamntr.exe
avD.exe
codecaddon1169[1].exe
SpywareLocked 3.3.lnk

Virus: W32/Alman.B

It's another quite a dangerous virus that affects all the executable files on the system. It's a network virus/worm with rootkit features. Alman.B requires some specific disinfection instructions. These are as follows:
  • Completely disconnect from the network
  • Set real time scanner to "Disinfect automatically"
  • Perform a full computer scan
  • Disinfect all infected files
  • Remove or quarantine the files that cannot be disinfected
  • Restart computer after disinfection
  • Run computer full scan once again, just to make sure no damn viruses are left
  • Connect to the network only when you feel sure about your computer
  • Make sure all network shares have strong passwords
Hope this helps!

W32/Poebot-LQ

It's a damn new virus that appeared on the Internet today. Be careful with your network as it spreads via it. It's not very dangerous and will hardly do something really bad for you. Saying really bad, I mean that it will not burn your hard drive, neither will reach all your address book contacts. It is only one more spyware that steals some information and exploits system or software vulnerabilities. It installs itself somewhere in the registry, so if you want to you may remove it manually.
God Bless you my dearest people! :)
