Hi Robin

Please check some of these forums what tool they are using
in nearly every HijackThis case...

http://asap.maddoktor2.com/

So Ewido is great and probably "State of the art" to clean out
todays junk without using special tools.

best.

Hi robinb

This is a sensitive question ;)

I don´t want to classify them, all of those forums
are "first class".

I like PcPitstop, seems to be down now and TomCoyote can be another
good startpoint.

plun

I downloaded the trial on 2 machines running xp pro sp2
after the disaster of spyware doctor I want to make sure all is well before
i go and buy it

Hi

Well, Ewido is used in every cleaning forum
for mostly all severe infests.

The combination CCleaner, Ewido and Smitfraud/Vundo removals
such from Siris and Atribunes tool is standard routine.

When I tested Ewido latest version against Zlob/Smitfraud, I cannot see
any neeed for special tools... ;)

Ewido is also from Germany, from the beginning a Trojan tool and stays
out of the "US mess" with accepted keyloggers which the bad guys now
are using.

Click to expand...

I understand what you are talking about, in theory, here--but if there is
clear evidence of specific keyloggers that are not being found, I'd like to
know about it. Conspiracy theories can be very plausible, but I'm not
convinced yet.
 
Hi Bill

I never writes something without facts..... ;)

Kaspersky labs latest monthly report.

"Ardamax is not considered a Trojan because it was developed by a
legitimate software company and is sold as a legal program. However,
authors of many malicious programs are happy to regard it as a
ready-made spyware module they can use instead of bothering to write
their own. Commercial keyloggers are one of the biggest gray areas in
the relations between antivirus companies and software developers. Even
though they can be used as Trojans, these programs do have legal and
genuinely legitimate applications."

http://www.kaspersky.com/news?id=187863051

But this is sensitive and we can compare it with the right to
carry a gun.... IMHO, "carry a gun" or using keyloggers are more
risky for the whole community then what it protect. This must be
discussed and this is also politic. We have a few user groups which
must use keyloggers as security branches.

You can easily find more examples within Sunbelts blog or other "free"
security media.

But the most important fact is:
"Commercial keyloggers are one of the biggest gray areas in the
relations between antivirus companies and software developers"

And for sure the bad guys knows this..... also Ewido, Kaspersky, A2
etc.

MS, Symantec, McAfee probably has more trouble with this fact.

I know the issue exists--I'd like to see if I can define a concrete example
of something that is a standard commercial app that Defender won't detect,
and see whether that changes over time. there are certainly enough
complaints (or have been in the past--I don't keep samples around to
re-test) about detection of dameware and RealVNC and other standard remote
control tools.

An antivirus may be in a slightly different position from Windows Defender.
I think that anything detected by an antivirus is pretty much guaranteed to
be bad. Windows Defender detects some Really Bad things, some Bad things,
some things that might be OK--Comet Cursors??--and some things that are
legit administrative tools in some circumstances--Dameware, RealVNC. The
descriptions and suggested dispositions are adjusted accordingly.

There's a real question still, about whether such detections essentially
drive a product out of business--I'm still thinking about that. The market
segmentation between microsoft forefront client protection (which presumably
would allow an admin to mask such findings) and Windows Defender should help
I think.

Hi Bill

This is indeed a really sensitive issue to solve....
It´s probably more "sensitive" if users finds out that
someone in secret installed keyloggers.

If we take keyloggers they are accepted within large usergroups within
US. This is a cultural and it is up to US to deside.

The major challenge is if the bad guys now using commercial remote
control devices such as keyloggers and VNCs if this is a risk....? or
is it possible to maintain stability with a lot of deals between
protections vendors, VNC/keylogger vendors and business/users.

This can end up in a "catastroph" for some users and some business.

Everything for the bad guys nowadays is to steal information and
try to use this information. So it´s scary...

IMHO...

plun
 
It is definitely scary. One recent bagle virus variant--and they seem to
be daily--puts a rootkit in place on the infected system. We'll see more of
this I'm sure, as time goes on.
