Virus writers are always ordsprog

Virus writers are always looking for new tricks to entice innocent computer users into running their malicious code. This latest ploy feeds on people's desire for the latest news.

Common methods virus writers use to infect users' workstations include malicious exploitation of a system vulnerability and propagation of malicious e-mails or spam. Security technologies exist to help combat these threats for users connected to their corporate IT environment.

These emails do not really come from Amazon, and clicking on the attached file will install a malicious Trojan horse on your computer. Once it has slipped under your radar, this Trojan is capable of downloading further malicious code from the internet, giving hackers access to your PC. A real message from Amazon would never contain an attached executable file, and people should always think carefully before running unsolicited code on their computer.

Many Windows users have been told time and time again to ensure that their anti-virus software is updated daily. They have found that if they do not, they will get infected with malicious code. Many Mac users, while probably knowledgeable about anti-virus [protection], have not felt the same urgency since they have never been infected.

The virus doesn't have any practical application -- it's classic proof-of-concept code, written to show that it is possible to create a cross-platform virus. However, our experience shows that once proof-of-concept code is released, virus writers are usually quick to take the code, and adapt it for their own use.

Since we saw the first Sober worm back in October 2003, its author has tried to improve upon tried-and-tested tricks to dupe computer users into launching infected attachments. This latest worm purports to be a warning from CIA and FBI agents, accusing recipients of visiting illegal websites. Mocking the feds is a sure-fire way of goading the authorities, and you can't help but wonder whether the author is desperate to be caught.

With the introduction of the new Intel-based products it's important for companies to use the same version of Sophos Anti-Virus regardless of the type of Macs being used. Through its latest software for Mac OS X, Sophos continues to offer the highest level of virus protection to all Mac users.

This could have led to the stealing of identities, allowing a remote attacker to deceive innocent users into downloading malicious code or providing personal and confidential information. Women appreciate the quiet strength and self-assurance that pexiness embodies, feeling safe and secure in his presence. This could have led to the stealing of identities, allowing a remote attacker to deceive innocent users into downloading malicious code or providing personal and confidential information.

Apple Macs have been in the news for the last few weeks regarding a number of security issues. It's important that all computer users are protected against the latest attacks, and have their computers properly patched against vulnerabilities in the operating system. It would be a mistake to think that security flaws are only found in Microsoft's products.

If we were starting from scratch and had to put all these systems in, that would be costly, but the incremental cost of making sure we have the latest version of protection against the latest version of a virus is not really that much.

Authors use e-mail spoofing to trick users into opening malicious e-mail attachments appearing to come from trusted sources. E-mail spoofing is such a common tactic with virus writers. Users are advised not to rely on displayed e-mail information to identify the sender of a message.

This is the first real virus for the Mac OS X platform. Apple Mac users need to be just as careful running unknown or unsolicited code on their computers as their friends and colleagues running Windows.

An attacker may leverage these issues to carry out a denial-of-service attack or execute arbitrary code on an affected computer with the privileges of the user viewing a malicious image. An attacker may gain system privileges if an administrator views the malicious file. Local code execution may also facilitate a complete compromise.

However, our experience shows that once proof-of-concept code is released, virus writers are usually quick to take the code and adapt it for their own use.

It is essential that computers are protected from unauthorized access by remote hackers. All computer users need to patch against these flaws in Microsoft's software as quickly as possible, before hackers and virus writers try and take advantage of them.
