A few days ago, Andreas Marx (independent AV tester) sent all AV companies a file infected by “Delphi Source Code infector”. This file was linked by chip.de and a few others. Two days ago an analysis of this innovative file infector was published by Kaspersky Lab and F-Secure. But this is just the recent media bubble. This virus is actually [...] Read more: |

I read an interesting article today: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090818/ap_on_bi_ge/us_hacker_charges
It is about the leader of a hacking ring being indicted for stealing the details of 130 million credit and debit cards in the US. This is not necessarily a new development as he was actually already in jail on similar previous charges dating back to 2006. [...] Read more: |

And the general opinion seems to be the same as what I posted in my blog entry—that the major free antivirus solutions are in fact very good.

I ran across an interesting article the other day that questions whether a user can rely upon free anti-virus: http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2009/07/04/symantec-its-dangerous-to-rely-on-free-antivirus/.

Our users are sometimes confused what can some malware name mean. In fact – there are some names without an special meaning – they are mostly related to short-lived pieces of malware.
