Malwarebytes anti-exploit is a new program designed to stop certain malicious programs from accessing your computer. It offers protection from Java exploits, browser 
exploits, Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word, Excell, Power Point, Windows Media Player, flash player, VLC player, Winamp Player and more.
First there was Java that had a ton of vulnerabilities that Oracle still has no clue how to fix except to block all scripts that are not securely registered with them. If you are a small guy programmer with an average bank account, you are not going to be able to get your creation to work since it will be blocked by Java.
How often have you been infected with a virus and you cannot do anything with your machine? Here is a great video that shows you how to use a hidden tool that is in the Malwarebytes program. The program is called Chameleon. Essentially, this program runs a separate process as a DOS prompt and allows you to kill rouge processes and download and update Malwarebytes on your local computer. As the video explains, you might have to download the program on a USB stick from a known good computer in order to execute the program.
When you think of Auto-Play, you often think of when you place a CD or DVD in your drawer and the menu pops up to give you all your options for installing the program. In the past, auto play has been blamed for injecting Malware on unsuspecting computer users. This was especially true if you were using a thumb drive. That type of infection can still be a threat but today, we are focusing another type of problem that you have a lot less control over. It is the auto playing of video content on the web.
Over the past few weeks, Malware such as Conduit has been infecting computers in record numbers. This software might not be totally classified as a virus but it can and does take over your computer and takes you to pages that you do not request.
In the past, if you had a mobile phone you did not have to worry about getting a virus on a mobile device. Today, things are a lot different. With thousands of new apps being added to the app store everyday it is almost impossible for Google to police and check every single one. If you own an Apple IOS the chances are a little less because there is more control to the Apple store.
Crypto Locker is now rated as one of the most successful Malware attacks ever made. Once infected, there is little that can be done to get back your files unless you either feed the bad guys by paying the ransom or restoring your files from a backup. This virus does not discriminate. Even police departments can get infected.
For every malware network that is eliminated, several more are discovered. While knowing the details of every malware network is not helpful for the average Internet user, understanding how the largest networks operate can provide a great deal of insight. It can also help determine the best Internet security practices by identifying how devices are compromised. It also demonstrates how cyber criminals bypass Internet security strategies. The number of malicious sites increased by 240% in 2011 which means users should be more cognizant of Internet security risks than ever. The primary reasons that the number of sites continues to rise are that cyber criminals rotate domain names and malicious software kits are easier to buy and customize than ever before.
There is a new threat to watch out for and this time it is geared toward Skype users. It appears that the software is generating bogus messages that could potentially contain a link that could take you to an infected website.
I have already cleaned up a couple of computers this week that contained ransom ware that appeared to come through the popular software. When removing the virus, the date and time on the virus matched new file activity on the Skype software to almost the same date and time.
Today we are going to talk about protecting your Android device from virus infections. Yes, just because you are using an Android device does not mean that you are safe from virus infections. In fact, a warning has been issued by the FBI about the potential for virus attacks on your mobile device. The infections can come from downloaded apps or visiting infected websites just like on a regular computer. The dangers are just as real. Remember that people more and more are relying on their mobile devices to do banking and other tasks while on the go or while watching TV and even outside while tending to your garden. These devices have proven to be a major convenience and their popularity is tempting the bad guys to write code that will attack these devices.
