Was surfing yesterday in search of pics of the Russian and Chinese stealth fighters. Found the known old pics only, investiogated some sites nevertheless. Then left the house for some time. After coming back home and booting ther system, I was greeted by an error message that some sys32/rundll32.exe worked incorrect and that an entry FQ10 was missing.
Googling told me that this was an indication for a trojan infection. Further scanning showed that it was the jackpot: Spyware.Zeus and Trojan.Ransom.Gen. The latter is said that you can handle it if you discover it soon and get rid of it before it starts to really spread around. But Zeus is something different, andf they say even the latest definitions for malware and virus scanner detect it only with a probability of 23%. Avira Security Suite rang no alarm. An active scan via Malware's Anti-Malware (free) found it. It even made short process with both. However - this must not mean that the thing is really gone, eh? After that, I scanned again, full scans with Avira Security Suite, Malware's Anti-Malware, SuperAntiSpyware and Emsisoft Anti-Malware Squared. All with no results anymore. But I do not trust it, this Zeus is probably the most dangerous and well-supported criminal trojan currently plagueing the web. I hope those criminals behind it, and others like them, race against a tree with their cars or fall off a bridge. System reinstallation is in order sooner or later, preferrably before I do my next financial transactions via my system. Great. Right what I was craving for. It'S not so much the installation - but the finetuning of options and individual preferrances. ![]() Does anyone know how to prepare better against threats like Zeus which you can catch up by simple surf-bys? Detection probabilities of even the latest scanner updates of around 23% are not encouraging, are they.
