Avast Antivirus Real Time Protection Review![]() Written by the same firm that offers AVG Anti-Virus Software, Avast is like turning up the volume on your iPod to the full 80 watts per channel in a four-channel system so that you can literally blast any nasty stuff back to where it belongs.
If this were a motorcycle or racing track, you would find that Avast would probably be the pole sitter (starting car) and would lead the race through out as it passes trojans, links, bots, link kits and rootkits as if they weren't even there. In their way, you have a system that performs much better and is much cleaner. In fact, the level of clean is amazing. One of the key features of the Avast software, another piece of thinking or "heuristic" software from AVG is its level of anticipation. Every time you are installing a software, it pokes around within the software package itself to see if the software may be bugged and if it is, it offers you two options, one let it go through - if you already used the software and know what it is there's no reason why not - but if it is new software, you can safely let it kill the intruder and you can find another piece of software to use. | Malware - You Could Be Forgiven For Feeling A Little NervousMalware has become the most powerful tool in the modern day cyber criminal armory of gadgets and has become the key component in almost all successful cyber attacks. Fifteen years ago the criminals would have to manually scan entire network blocks and build a list of IP addresses that they could access on the internet. They would then probe the common ports looking for system security flaws such as vulnerable ftp servers. They would then exploit their target by carrying out tasks such as securing the system, retrieving passwords and scanning for other weaknesses. This process could take weeks and each stage of the process required a different tool which had a unique purpose and would require manual interaction.Nowadays the serious attackers use the most advanced tools and technology and the entire process of system compromise to data collection takes seconds. Computer viruses were first identified as simple tools that were capable of changing files or cracking system passwords. Malware is a bundle of tools that enables a hacker to infiltrate a computer network, read the memory and compromise the operating system at the lowest level by infecting boot sectors and rootkits. More of a concern is the ability of these cyber criminals to create and control entire networks of malware infected zombie computers called botnets. These highly organized networks are used to spread viruses, generate spam, collect data and commit other types of online crime and fraud. This threat is only getting worse as antivirus companies discover thousands of variations to this malicious software every day. The type of criminals involved in these attacks has also changed. The typical culprit of yesterday was the curious teenager or the unskilled want-to-be hacker using tools developed by someone else to launch their attack on computer systems. The threat today is from highly organized criminals with research and development teams who are only interested in the bottom line on a global scale. To make matters worse, there exists an black market for malware. The latest tools in cyber warfare may be purchased or traded. Custom malware services are also provided which include a guaranteed support system. Imagine the cyber entities with unlimited budgets developing the latest cyber malware tools. They have the potential to infiltrate and gather as much intelligence as possible, taking control of and disrupting cyber activities of other countries if that was their goal. Extortion in exchange for regaining control of computer systems would not be out of the question. Malware has become the common denominator in almost all attacks we see today. There are ways to safeguard your system. One way to install top rated security software and set it to ensure that it is automatically updated. Another is to ensure that your operating system is kept up to date with the most current patches and updated automatically. To protect your networks you must understand and defend against malware.
