I've been studying malware for more than 20 years, wrote the Multi-AV Scanning Tool which is a frnt-end to multiple command line scanners and I am a former employee of MalwareBytes which produces the legitimate MalwareBytes Anti Malware (MBAM) application. Thus I have some knowledge in the malware arena.

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general: I hope you don't believe everything you read. I am sure you do research.. ?? This program looks highly suspicious. There are many references on the net about it being spyware. Its developers site is written only in Chinese. The site is known to host spyware. There are no reviews of the program anywhere. Why would you bother with this when there are so many other reputable products of this type? |

I don't like programs that "go into my fridge without asking". I'm with you there. I have something ancient called something like "startup monitor" that asks me about things like that (pops up something like "xxx has set the following to run at startup - do you want to allow it?") - at least, I have it on my old '98SElite machine; I can't remember if it works under XP, or if it does, whether I have installed it.

... I am running Win XP Pro Sp3. I would be interested in any feedback from users of Malware Defender. I am currently evaluating it. Thanks. I don't get it, Andy. Your the one that initiated this post asking for "Feedback on program" yet you question the feedback your given. Go ahead, use Malware Defender. We don't care. It's not on our computer.

Thanks. 360.cn is the webpage that the program has in the about box, but it isn't where I downloaded it from. Do you read and speak fluent Chinese ? 集查杀木马、防钓鱼欺诈于一体 That's good but do you understand Trojans and Phishing ? And I'll give you back your recent reply... "You didn't answer the question, only danced around it. " I asked "What is the home page/URL of the "Malware Defender" you are using ?" and you give me 360.cn but added "...but it isn't where I downloaded it from." "Malware Defender" is a Rogue. You are trying to counter it isn't and you are "currently evaluating it." Legitimate software usually has a "homepage" on a home web site. 360.cn is not the web page of the author. In the thread "Java still broken" in a.c.f which mentions further vulnerabilities found in Oracle JRE v7 update 11. You asked... "I see all these messages about Java, so I have a question. Has anyone here been affected by it, and if so, what specifically happened?" I answered... "Those who may have been affected by the exploitation of the vulnerability would have, with a high probability, had malware foisted upon them and they may not even know it." Your response was "You didn't answer the question, only danced around it. " Yes, I did. Just without getting into specifics. Someone "sells" the exploit code to a malicious actor. That malicious actor uses the exploit in their ploy to get their malware payload on your computer. What that ploy is will vary based upon WHO is creating the malicious action as well as the payload will vary based upon WHO is creating the malicious action. Those that may have actually gotten infected can't tell you "what specifically happened" all they can tell you is the result. Especially those reading and posting a freeware group laiden with trolls from "Bear" to "p-0'0-h the cat". Those that may have actually gotten infecgted can't be sure is was based upon vulnerabilities found in Oracle JRE v7 either. They could have had a completely different vulnerability exploited such as in PDF viewing or Apple Quicktime or some other software on their PC. This is a Windows XP news group. The group is for the discussion on WinXP problems. It is not a malware related news group so your request for feedback on Malware Defender is not really On Topic. In the Microsoft.* hierarchy, the proper group would be; microsoft.public.security.virus However, since Microsoft has cut the tow rope on the Microsoft.* hierarchy in Usenet that group has gone mostly quiet. I know 'cause I have been posting and replying there for 10 years and have been posting and replying in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general for ~ 15 years. Outside the Microsft.* hierarchy is... alt.comp.anti-virus alt.comp.virus If you really want "feedback" on "Malware Defender" and want to discuss what happens in a Java vulnerability/exploit attack, those places are where such subject matter is On Topic. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

You're my hero. It doesn't change the fact that you question each and every negative comment about Malware Defender. |
