Eset. Speed of virus lab.

They do a good job,but could be improved:-then it would(perhaps!!?)be great!

 

How (HIV:-condoms) can help against Belly typhus, Diphtheria, Dysentery,
Cholera or the Siberian ulcer(this is some human viruses but not Venereal disease)?
Or it should be the big size that itself puts on?

Sorry for off topic

 

My point (which you seem to be deliberately trying to ignore!)is that you don't put yourself at risk if you can avoid it,if you go to places where these things are prevelent you would take precautions to avoid them,same thing applies to how you use or misuse your PC

 

Here is my point: when I download some .exe file 30-70kb masked under what ever, I know that it's probably malware. BUT a lot of people PC users all over the world don't know that. They can't avoid malware because they does not know anythink about it.
Who have to protect them? AV product which is installed on their PC.

 

This doesnt make any sense. Please give me an example.

 

trjam my English is not so good, so please read my post#24

 

Concerning that post....have you updated to the latest sig version and re-tested

NOD32 - v.1937 (20061224)

Considering the untold numbers of submittals and taking many things into consideration....that is a decent time frame for inclusion IMHO.

Of course....YMMV owing to post contents to date.

 

FWIW the file I was referring to is also a new variant of PSW-linch, maybe it's the same one as what Owner is referring to in post #24.

Post #24 it's not good example, maybe in this case ESET's reaction about that threat was good, but in more cases they don't add unknown samples to signatures for weeks!

 

Of course Bubba,I re-tested. They added that sample to next apdate.
please see post#25 and post#30

I agree

 

Disregard this as mine is not yet detected.

As I have already said no AV protects you at all times against everything so there is always a risk of this scenerio happening
If they don't know the risks the chances are they will be too naive to find the websites/download sites that harbour these "dodgy" files:-you seem to describing warez or file sharing sites to a T.Can't think of any other place you'd encounter hidden malware so often

 

If u click on links like this, u get the small .exe files for free

 

Bundled with malware?

 

whatever it takes for me to be able to see britney

 

Dirty bugger(where's that link? lol)

 

Not bundled with, it's only malware.

Somehow they forgot to add the codec....

 

but what was it you were trying to view and where did that originate from?not from one sites of the type mentioned earlier was it?

 

No, not on warez sites or something like that.

I see a lot of links on forums where i'm admin.

Links are placed by spammers, and i know it ends up with a trojan (mostly Zlob's).
Sometimes i download the trojan and check on virustotal wich AV will detect the trojan at that moment. After a few hours there is a variant of the trojan (still the same link) and results on virustotal are totally different.
And sometimes not a single AV on virustotal detects it.

If you see something like "click here for the codec", don't click, just run away...

 

man i allways hear the same history if you to warez or file sharing sites blablabla, well thas one of the reason that good AV Is for, i dont want AV That only protect me from read a email from my mom or my brother, or to search on yahoo or google, i can do that wiht a free AV

 

Please always send links to Zlobs to support @ eset.com so that we can ensure that you are protected against not yet known variants ASAP.

 

So you expect any paid for AV to protect you against everything at all times no matter where you visit and what you download?Sorry but everybody has to accept some responsibility for the way in which they use their PC's,if you visit such sites you have to accept that now and again you are likely to encounter malware that is not in the database of ANY av:-I just love this "blame someone else culture":-in this case the sig writers
If you visit these sites accept the risk that goes with them and stop whingeing if your PC picks up something!

 

Steve,
It's not unheard of for people to harvest malware from warez and spread it around to others via email, I understand and agree what you're saying about peoples lack of responsibilty with file sharing, but the thread is about the speed of esets virus lab in general, not just for adding warez malware, the file I was referring to as an example is being downloaded from a url that is accessable to anyone from google on a stray search.

It seems to me that you read only your own posts steve1955. Funny to read about warez and file sharing sites.
In your posts it is more off topic than arguments. It is not necessary to argue with the fact that fast virus
lab is one of advantages of the AV Product

I writing it Specially for you steve1955>>>"Email-Worm.Win32.Stration aka Warezov">>> Technical details: This worm spreads via the Internet as an attachment to infected messages.
The attachment doesn’t contain a copy of the worm, but a component which is able to download other malicious programs via the Internet.
Infected messages are sent to email addresses harvested from the victim machine.
The worm itself is a Windows PE EXE file approximately 110KB, packed using UPS. The unpacked file is approximately 235KB in size.

IMPORTANT>> Propagation via email: The worm sends emails to addresses harvested from the Windows address books.
The worm uses its own SMTP engine to send infected messages.

Example: If I'll receive via Email not detected sample of this file from my wife or from my brother and shall send in virus lab, update should be ready as
much as possible quickly, to not admit epidemic.

You can google>>> "Win32/Stration epidemic" or "malware epidemic"

This is my last post in this thread

All thanks for attention

 

Re. Stration, you were protected immediately by ThreatSense against most of the new variants (e.g. http://www.virusradar.com/stat_01_current/virus_0202_c31d_enu.html) without the need to update.
