    AntiExecutable software = Whitelisting and/or delete after session software like Returnil/Sandboxie etc.

    Anyway Stuxnet won't affect you, or anyones, unless you have a Nuclear operation in your back yard, running Seimens SCADA :D

    almost all up-to-date AVs can detect it..

    but Anti-Execution methods are probably the 'ultimate' against anything :D
    prevention is always the best ^^

    You could run the Stuxnet Removal Tool for a checkup.

    a couple of days ago I saw MRG putting Stuxnet to test against the AV's/AM's products included in their flash tests, IIRC all of them caught it.... as for Zeus, well you have to clarify if you need a removal tool or blocking one, in the first scenario Hitman Pro will easily handle a Zeus infection, in the second scenario, most (up-to-date) AV's will catch it but as it's been mentioned already, an anti-exe app should keep you safe.

    Hello,

    I'm not so keen on believing in conspiracy theories but, if like some allege that CIA/NSA/FBI might be behind the STUXNET worm, it's highly unlikely that AV companies [specially USA based ones like Symantec/Norton or McAfee] will create a removal tool for Stuxnet.

    I still remember several years ago about Magic Lantern and McAfee and Norton not committing to detect this thing in order to cooperate with the Feds.

    Zeus would be another story since is widely detected by many AV companies since the very reason for its existence is to steal baking information from personal computers whereas Stuxnet is apparently targeting Iran's nuclear facilities mainly.


    Regards,



    Carlos

    Yep most AV's are hitting the main exe and rootkits but they don't seem to hit all the droppers even after uploading them to VT a coupla days ago??

    Maybe the undetected droppers aren't worth a siggy or not malicious but the Stuxnet Removal Tool flags them for removal?

    Prevention is better than cure.
    Use Defensewall/Emsisoft Mamutu + WinPatrol PLUS + UAC/LUA/SRP combination with solid antivirus (no A vs B) for better protection against such threats.

    It comes down to :

    No Seimens SCADA = No Problem for Stuxnet

    Zemana for Zbot.

    Simple as that.

    (actually for Zbot not that simple- if the Bank that you have a credit card from has been compromised- like Bank of America- all your details are already in Kazakhstan. So you really don't have to worry about your personal computer security in this case).
