What is your security setup these days?

At least get some portable AV like DrWeb CureIt, Hitman Pro or ClamWin Portable, it's better than none

 

Are you having issues opening, for example, PDF files within Chromium with the -safe-plugins? I can't open PDF files if that command is enabled.

 

LMAO. Set him a LUA with SRP add Windows Defender and hope for the best.

 

I change my security settings in quick times.
Now in my Laptop
Dr Web AV
ZA pro
Winpatrol Plus
PrevX safeonline for facebook
iKill
Sandboxie
VirtualBox

In my desktop
Emsisoft antimalware
Private Firewall
SAS pro
Winpatrol Pro
Sandboxie
USB Virus Scan
VMWare

 

HAHAHA made my day In a wrong way I guess

Though, it seems that your Brother is more of a Noob than you are Noob

 

Running 24/7:
Prevx 3
Look n stop 2.07

On demand:
Returnil 2010 for testing malware
Hitman Pro

As you can see, an extremely light setup which is extraordinarily safe.

 

What you need is a antvirus program with Password protection....just don't give him the password

 

Kees, how do you do that under admin account?

Thanks for all the responses man

Some of the infected files were called egoxym.exe, and yk0.exe. (There was a .sys file)
I forgot the others.
All this was detected by Panda AV Cloud.

I was planing to scan with A-Squared, MBAM and Hitman Pro, + a few rootkit scanners to make sure, but he just formatted it

At the end he was saying that it was all my fault and he would not install any AV (Actually i just turned off the USB/Media autorun)
I'm pretty sure when he calms down he will let me install 1 AV (Still deciding)

Can't do this or he would go mad with me
PC is shared xD

 

Nobbie just apply downloads restriction to the browser and your problem is solve for at least 90% my own experience i have familly and 4 computers here and even if i dont run an antivirus with this restriction pc is cure i tested running them with out any software protection for about a week and it was ok here and trust me my familly members here are very happy to click and run any files

 

Hahaha, can't do it either, he downloads tons of stuff too (He actually knows his fair share of computer tech, but he lacks in the security part which i cover)

 

man! what a pain in the ass he is.

if he just want to use the computer maybe gnulinux is for him?

 

your brother is brutal man

 

What can I do to lighten my load on the Desktop, 2nd line in sig?

 

avira out

 

follow these steps to optimize prevx.

If you can take on the challenge of not having a realtime virus protection, you can also remove avira.
replace winpatrol with Windows Defender that is if you remove avira.




another option if you want to stick with Avira...
you can remove prevx and replace it with Trusteer Rapport.

 

Hehe if the PC is shared... then I belive the Malware is shared as well

Still can't decide what to install xD
I'm deciding between A-Squared or Panda AV Cloud

I'll probably go A-Squared because it offers the BB protection

 

Good choice.

 

Don't get me wrong, A-Squared is an excellent AV but Panda Cloud also has a BB on it's 1.1 beta. Anyway, good choice .
