I wonder who this developer is. Is his identity a secret? ;D But, if he didn't bother to explain his discoveries on how the exploit works and how...
There may be some confusion here as to what SRP actually does. It doesn't block any exploits. It doesn't even try to do so. If you run a...
I don't use NIS, so this is simply a very educated guess: What you described doesn't sound strange to me. You were trying to execute gmer.exe,...
Pretty much the only way to clear your doubts would be to get in contact with someone at Symantec who knows what they're talking about and can...
AccessEnum is best run as admin. Otherwise, you'll get "???" and "access denied" in the results for some areas of the file system and registry....
My guess of what happened is this: 1) No malware was executed. 2) NIS detected the malicious files sitting around on the USB doing nothing,...
Well, that chat log doesn't make much sense, I'm afraid. You also didn't show him the report, or ask him what the "Launched: No" part of the...
Oh, I don't doubt that it's a malware. I can easily believe that it is malware. What I have trouble believing is that the malware actually...
It seems very uncertain that the malware actually executed based on the info presented here. It appears to me that this might be NIS simply giving...
From the links given in this thread, it seems to be just another rootkit malware with nothing particularly scary or special about it. The dropper...
No, I don't. 64-bit operating systems allow you to conveniently make use of so much RAM, without any hacks, that there would be no need for memory...
I'm not entirely sure it's up to you to decide that. For the record, my opinion is that I'm just talking about a subject that's pretty much on...
Yeah, sure, obviously security software companies can benefit from any hype or scary news about security issues. And it's in their interest to...
None on any of my so called production systems, but I've played with a few, including MSE on test systems to see what they're up to. But, I voted...
While I of course agree with you about the benefits of whitelisting, I would point out that the lack of AppLocker style publisher rules certainly...
I don't think it's petty, just an unfortunate misunderstanding caused by you reading far, far too much into my statement, and then assuming my...
That's a straw man, actually. I don't recall people around these parts saying that everyone should be running LUA and that there is absolutely no...
Well, even in that case, not everyone does anything to the power management settings, or change their LUA temporarily to admin. I know quite a lot...
Well, you missed my point there, but perhaps I should have emphasized said point even more in my earlier post. But let's go back to that post of...
Yes, "silly". "Silly", because it's a clearly incorrect argument with absolutely nothing factual presented to support it. That makes it silly in...
Fully agreed. As long as MS defaults to creating admin accounts during the install of the OS, a vast number of people will keep running as admin,...
The issue here may be that some software installs only for one user, the current user, by default, instead of installing system-wide into Program...
Setting up LUA is easy. I've said it before and I'll continue to say it, based on quite a lot of experience. Posts on the internet don't really...
That Wikipedia article is looking at least privilege from a theoretical perspective. Those "issues" presented in the article are pretty much...
Right here, suffering grievously from all the file extension stuff, of course. ;D [start my boring rant] One thing about file extensions:...
Separate names with a comma.
