SPECIAL ALERT Do NOT click on those warnings that pop up and say your computer is infected!WinFixer, WinAntiVirus, Anti-Virus 2008 or Anti-Virus 2009, ErrorSafe, SystemDoctor and DriveCleaner are identical or similar computer programs available for Microsoft Windows that claim to repair computer system problems. They are forcibly installed on the victim's computer by the SysProtect vector. They display false information with regards to a user's computer, thereby confusing said user into believing their PC is infected with viruses, spyware and/or other forms of malware. The adverts pop up a display with notifications to convince the user that something may be amiss with the computer, or run a fake diagnostic. The program repeatedly prompts the user to purchase a licensed copy of the program. Due to these problems, WinFixer and its sister applications are extortionist spyware and malware. Indeed, their misleading popups and forced downloads mirror the infection strategies of many spyware programs. All computers infected with this trojan exhibit sluggish performance. Symantec's Report on Winfixer: [1] McAfee's Report on Winfixer: [2] Kaspersky also has it listed as mal-ware: [3] Sophos' Report: [4] A possible fix?: [5] WinFixer's claim: WinFixer 2005 is a useful utility to scan and fix any system, registry and hard drive errors. It ensures system stability and performance, frees wasted hard drive space and recovers damaged Word, Excel, music and video files. In truth, WinFixer does none of these things.For details and additional info click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFixer#Avoid_infection

RED ALERT! Bitmar Online WebBrowserTV! One of our employees feel prey to this BOGUS service/program. Here's what they say when you attempt to get a refund when you are unsatisfied: From Seller: BitMar.com on 2/17/2008 10:57 PST ******** PHISING ATTACKS – Not your grandpa’s fish story!
Symantec’s annual Internet Security Threat Report notes an 81% increase in phishing attacks against consumers. Phishing scams involves another party, trying to trick you into providing log-in details for bank accounts, payment services and credit cards. It’s usually an e-mail sent to a customer asking for account details, or informing you to click on a link that will take you to a fake login page (known as a spoof page). As more and more businesses provide online services, and more and more consumers take advantage of the ease of using the Internet to shop, pay bills and perform other online transactions, phishing scams will only increase. The auction site, eBay was one of the most phished brands on the Internet. The report reveals that home users, not businesses are the most targeted victims of phishing scams. End-users like shoppers, are the most likely to become victims since all too many are easily tricked by spoof (fake) websites. The most heavily targeted is the financial sector (84% of phishing sites tracked). An increasingly common form of malware are the type that uses a “modular” type of code – a computer code that will generate itself by updating or downloading more aggressive malware once the first program is on your computer. These programs will either phish for sensitive information on a target computer, or try to trick you into providing the information; again usually by inviting you to click on a link to what looks like a legitimate site but is a look-alike spoof. By tricking you into clicking on a link, the spammers do not have to use programming code that is more and more frequently being detected by anti-spyware and anti-malware programs.
WARNING: Never … repeat, NEVER click on a link in your e-mail; especially a link that is supposed to be your bank or credit card company! You would never fill-in a form, sent to you in regular postal mail, providing all of your financial details, and send it to me in a self-addressed envelope addressed to, “Mastercard, 121 My Address, Butler, PA, would you? That’s exactly what you’re doing when you click on a link in your e-mail, so don’t do it! Instead, manually type the address that you KNOW is correct into your web browser’s address bar, AND look for the padlock symbol in your browser bar! Finally, make sure your anti-virus software and your firewall are up to date!

Virus & Worm Alerts! AOL Badware! The anti-spyware group, headed by Harvard and Oxford Universities, www.stopbadware.org recommends that users do NOT install AOL 9.0 software. The AOL 9.0 program, "adds software without disclosure," and "interferes with computer use." According to the group's online alert, it considers AOL software irresponsible on eight counts. It adds software such as You've Got Pictures screensaver and ViewPoint Media Player without informing users. It also adds the AOL toolbar and AOL Internet Explorer without adequate disclosure, completely taking over the Microsoft Internet Explorer. When users discover these issues, the are unable to fully uninstall the programs. "We currently recommend that users do not install the version of AOL that we tested, [AOL 9.0] unless the user is comfortable with the level of risk we identified," the organization concluded. Read the full report at www.stopbadware.org .
WANRNING! AOL Instant Messenger (AIM): Users of AIM usually receive a link from a contact in their buddy list asking them to visit a Web page. When the user clicks the link, they are forwarded to a malicious Web site that downloads the virus onto their computer. This virus then sends the same link to every contact on their buddy list, and the process repeats.
Users of AIM are encouraged to visit www.aim.com to make sure they are using the latest version of the software.
In the meantime, it is important that you help protect your system:- Be careful when clicking on links in IM messages--even when they seem to come from friends.
- DO NOT click on images in any instant messages or away messages even if they look harmless.
- DO NOT open any email message containing links even if the link may look harmless or appear to be from a friend.
If you become infected with this virus you can download and run the AIM Fix, which should help permanently remove the virus from your computer.
Note: this virus is different from the "Mywife" worm to which an advisory was also released on February 03, 2006. You can read more about it here. ******************************************************************************* AOL AIM Worm Alert: A new worm that targets users of America Online's AOL Instant Messenger is believed to be the first that actually chats with the intended victim to dupe the target into activating a malicious payload. The worm, dubbed IM.Myspace04.AIM, has arrived in instant messages that state: "lol thats cool" and included a URL to a malicious file "clarissa17.pif." When unsuspecting users have responded, perhaps asking if the attachment contained a virus, the worm has replied: "lol no its not its a virus." The malicious file disables security software, installs a backdoor and tweaks system files. Then it starts sending itself to contacts on the victim's buddy list. But the worm is programmed so that the infected user cannot see the messages that are being sent out by the worm. This worm is not widespread, but attackers are just trying out this new technique. The inclusion of an IM bot is another sign that IM worms are becoming more sophisticated. Another worm, takes a more traditional route: it spreads under the guise of a holiday greeting card. The holiday worm, dubbed Aimdes.E, targets AIM users and arrives with the message: "The user has sent you a Greeting Card, to open it visit:" followed by a link. Once the target clicks on the link, the worm installs itself on the system. It opens a backdoor on the computer and sends itself to contacts on the buddy list. Advice to users is to be careful when clicking on links in IM messages--even when they seem to come from friends--and to use up-to-date antivirus software. When receiving a link in an instant message, the best practice is to verify with the sender if the link was sent intentionally or not.

Diskeeper® The Number One Automatic Defragmenter™  Diskeeper Home Edition: Diskeeper handles a primary cause of slow computers.Fragmentation occurs when files are written to your hard disk in separate chunks. Your drive has many bits of storage space here and there; it’s not kept in one big place. So when you save a file, the computer divides it up and sticks these bits of your file wherever they will fit. So the next time you open that file, the computer must look in several places on your drive to open the whole file. This slows everything down. Instead of your file popping up on your screen right away, the computer reads some of your file here, then over there and back again before it gets the whole thing. And then the file opens. Diskeeper puts your files back together. It monitors your hard drive and when files get fragmented into separate chunks, it puts them back together. No more looking here and there for a file’s pieces, it’s all in one spot. You documents will snap up on the screen like lightning again. Just like when your computer was new. And best of all – Diskeeper does this all automatically. You can “Set It and Forget It” ® and Diskeeper will keep your system fast and free of fragmentation. Diskeeper Professional Edition: Which Diskeeper Edition is right for you? Diskeeper Professional Edition allows you to defragment other computers on your network when Diskeeper Server Edition is installed on your server. Diskeeper Home Edition has all the functionality of Diskeeper Professional Edition but lacks the network defragmenting ability. If you only have one computer at home, Diskeeper Home Edition is all you will ever need.
 Undelete Home Edition: HOW MUCH ARE THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER WORTH TO YOU? Don’t Leave A Critical Gap In Your Data Protection! Now You Can Restore Accidentally Deleted Files Fast with Undelete®"Undelete saved my bacon!" That's what countless Undelete users have told us. Accidentally deleted files are at the top of everyone's list of computer horrors.
You store a lot of data on your computer, and you need to protect it 24/7. Re-creating accidentally deleted files takes a lot of time, and using backups to restore deleted files is not always reliable—especially if you've created and deleted something between backups.You may think your data is protected, but every day we get desperate calls from people who have lost important files—and they can’t get them back. Once a file is accidentally deleted it can be overwritten with the very next keystroke. Backup, virus protection, recycle bins—they all serve a purpose, but without Undelete your photos, spreadsheets, word docs, etc. are all at risk. Why? The recycle bin doesn’t catch everything deleted. And if you use a backup system, it doesn’t cover files created or modified between backups. Many deletions are gone forever. Why operate at risk? Undelete is a real solution and it’s very inexpensive. Undelete replaces your recycle bin with a Recovery Bin and catches all deleted files automatically, only purging itself at default intervals or intervals you set up. Think of it as a computer expert who can find and bring back any file you delete instantly. Undelete Professional Edition: Which Undelete Edition is right for you? Undelete Professional Edition allows you to remotely recover deleted files on your network when Undelete Server Edition is installed on your server. Undelete Home Edition has all the functionality of Undelete Professional Edition but lacks the network file recovery ability. If you only have one computer at home, Undelete Home Edition is all you will ever need.
