Interesting link, thanks. I’ve done the same thing manually but its nice to have a complete list.
I attended a meeting today and there was a big muckity muck from Trend Micro. He said there are 100,000 new malware signatures created every 1-2 days.
He also talked about the architecture of malware now being put out. How they are broken up into many pieces and the first downloader points to a second downloader. This allows them to update their malware without reinfecting the PCs.
Hackers are also moving to virtual machines where they can move their servers at will and be virtually untraceable.
Well, i can only thank God that in 10 years of intensive Internet work (w/95-Vista), as part of a Christian work, i only found one virus, besides the few mild spyware type cookies and such whose ads seem to be thwarted by the MVPS hosts file (very rare to get a popup). No Norton type bloatware either. But i do try to keep an eye on things. Win Patrol is a help.
Have used plenty of freeware (like Firefox and OpenOffice) also, thank God for it also.
What should be standard on any OS is CPU usage as part of the clock (TClockEX shows seconds and ram) without having to run TaskManager, as well as an easy to access specific report on net traffic, what’s going out and in. But MS does not even thing seeing file extensions should be default.
