    3 hours ago, we noticed a new outbreak of a mass-spammed threat picked up by advanced heuristics.

    Shortly after, a new update 1.1062 was issued and the threat has been detected as Win32/TrojanDownloader.Small.ZL trojan since.

    two infected emails arrived around 4:30 central Canada. I deleted one remotely and didn't notice the second. I was glad that Nod detected it with heuristics -- I was also surprised that OutPostPro 2.6 jumped in.

    Also--the two updates arrived shortly, along with Marco's post.

    I know I made the right purchases.

    Good stuff, excellent to see that things are working as intended
    NOD is still a very good part of an overall security solution

    The next thing that would be great to see is a partnership with Sysinternals and incorporation of RootKitRevealer into the AV engine so that the easy option for rootkits trying to hide in plain sight wouldn't be a particularly good option...

    NB: I'm sure this has been fed back many times already....

    Hehe - I guess its very normal now that NOD gets all the malware without signatures!!!

    You gotta love the heuristics engine, its just so darn great!!!

    very re-assuring :) certainly helps me to know NOD is detecting before we get anything nasty :cool: Thanks for posting this as it does help to see the live action.

    Yeah, it's obvious to me that the people at Eset have been working hard lately. I am glad I switched back to NOD32, that's for sure. (So is my CPU.)

    I Love Nod32, it just saved a work system from being infected, even though Trend Micro said the file was clean...

    Cheers :D

    Trend Micro always used to say that my PC was clean, however when I switched to eScan it immediately found a few trojans. I dont trust Trend much anymore.

    New or old - NOD detected it without needing a signature. Except for unlpugging you PC and not turning it on there's no better protection than that.

    You mean you would have opened that archive and run whatever was inside otherwise?

    You mean you run a Jotti's scan before opening it? o_O

    If my AV does not detect anything, I normally do open it.

    TM has lot's of ppl in the virus lab - mostly so called 'trainees'.
    Almost no senior stuff there. I know most of the ppl there. Dont ask why ;)

    They add signatures until the devil escapes hell. The scanengine stills the same since years. Problems with complex malware such as EPO Driller viruses, uruguay viruses (which are one of the most complex virues ever under dos) , unpacking etc...

    They are suprisingly good with detecting spyware stuff - i do not want to comment anymore on this, cause i'm biased.

    No, as stated in that post, it fooled my fiancé into opening it, she is a little wiser after the experience, and is slowly learning, a newbie to computers.

    Cheers :D

    :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I just absolutely love your choice of words there :)

    I'll agree there. I dont think Trend's unpack engine does anything more than unpacking UPX!!!

    Definitely not better than NOD32 :D

    No, I wouldn't open it at all unless I was expecting it, within reason, and it appeared to be from someone I knew.

    Yes - Thats the best form of rational thinking, I agree :)

    (I'm not speaking negatively)
