Web-Nexus defeats Microsoft and all Spyware programs

Hi,

It is really a shame that Web-Nexus is able to hide itself on Windows
operating system. A real security hole in Microsoft OS. I have 2 files that
participated in Web-Nexus 'work' on my computer as well as e-mail from them
with their uninstaller.
I can supply these files to Microsoft as well as send their email for
analysis.
I did supplied them to Ewido.
I also tracked this company (was originally called Qoologic and it has same
physical address in Bosnia) with the host in California.

It would be nice if Microsoft added 'supply file' feature to their Beta
tool...
If someone in Microsoft is interested in more details they can also look at

If you want to zip your files up, password protect them with the password
"spyware" and send them to me, I can make sure Microsoft has access to them.
I'll pass on the URL you gave, as well.

Microsoft does have a process for collecting these samples. I don't have
any knowledge of what it is, but I can help out occasionally.

Use my posting email, but remove the last two dotted terms.
 
FWIW, in addition to passing these files on to Microsoft, I also submitted
two of them to virustotal (http://www.virustotal.com)

here's the result from one of the files:

You'll note that some of the "majors" - McAfee, Symantec, and AVG, are among
those not finding anything to be suspicious about. I didn't rename the file
to its original name--if it hadn't been detected, that would have been my
next step, but since some vendors did manage that....

I'll also submit this file to the beta for an antivirus product from the
same vendor as Microsoft Antispyware--they don't detect it either!
