Difference Between Virus Protection And Cleaning

soleimanian
There's a difference between Virus Protection and Virus Cleaning.
If your shield is set up well and kept updated, you will need no cleaning.

But what if it happened anyway ?

Right - it is too late. If you do not prepare you will
have to go find a clean computer to get the tools then.

My advice: get them now. At the latest and for free.

* First choice imho is the Mc Afee Avert Stinger
when it comes to free all-in-one virus-removal tools ...
Best, it even fits on a floppy disk if you got no usb stick
whereto all these recommended cleaners should go - soon.

* Avast offers a similar tool, the avast! cleaner

* With nice features like including/excluding viruses
from being scanned for, which may speed-up things
greatly, comes Grisoft's ( AVG ) vCleaner.

* Slow but working is the a-squared tool - you still need
a working internet connection though, to install. A clear minus.


on my USB stick, they are all together, nicely maintained
and periodicly updated ... even a totally shot hd wouldn't
prevent me from getting back into my computer instantly
and starting recovery by help of an ermergency system.

  2. Lsass Virus?

    Somehow, all my web browsers (Firefox, IE, Opera) stopped working. I used Norton Antivirus to check
    but found nothing. After using hijackthis, I found out that there is a process which rooted at file
    C:\WINDOWS\lsass.exe , this is an illegal process since the correct lsass.exe should be under
    \system32\ folder. However, there is no actual C:\WINDOWS\lsass.exe file. When using task manager,
    there is two lsass processes. I believed one of them is a legal one from Windows and the other one
    is the nasty one. But there is no way for me to stop the second one because task mana....

    I read this on msn, its rather scary! It also tells about the Paris Hilton getting her phone

    last two days. They all deliver a package that could grind networks to a halt. Fortunately, none of
    these will reach "Anna Kornikova" worm or "Love" bug proportions but they will take away hours of
