SpyEye Steals Your Data

Then there's a myth that needs to be debunked: Windows, if used with standard limited user privileges it's safe from malware.

This is wrong, we have talked about this previously on this blog, and SpyEye is the perfect answer. SpyEye is able to install itself and perfectly run from limited accounts. Yes, it could still steal sensitive data from the browser, even if run with limited privileges.

I hear a lot of people claiming they don't need a security software because they use a Windows limited account: they could be already a victim of SpyEye actually.

There are other ways to stop user account malware other than having to use cloud AV. Just simply do not allow the malware the ability to execute in the first place. This can be easily done with SRP or AppLocker which are built into Windows.

Certainly, but this solution doesn't provide any revenue for PrevX.
