Listado De Falsos Antivirus / Falsos Antispywares / Listado de Falsos Antivirus / Falsos Antispywares / "Rogue Software" http://www.forospyware.com/t5.html El siguiente listado fue generado y es mantenido por el equipo de "ForoSpyware.com" con colaboración de SpywareWarrior (lugar donde se origino el primer listado oficial y el cual se encuentra descontinuado desde Abril del 2007), por lo que desde esa fecha en más, los programas listados son enteramente de nuestra responsabilidad e investigación. Si tiene cualquiera de estos programas desinstálelo inmediatamente si no quiere correr el riesgo de infectarse con la misma basura que irónicamente muchos de ellos dicen quitar (virus/spyware) Que es un Falso Antivirus / Antispyware? Se le denomina Rogue Software (o también Rogue, Rogueware, FakeAVs, Badware, Scareware) a los “Falsos” programas de seguridad” que no son realmente lo que dicen ser, sino que todo lo contrario. Bajo la promesa de solucionar falsas infecciones, cuando el usuario instala estos programas, su sistema es infectado. Estos falsos Antivirus y Antispyware están diseñados para mostrar un resultado predeterminado (siempre de infección) y no hacen ningún tipo de escaneo real en el sistema al igual que no eliminaran ninguna infección que podamos tener. • Ver artículo completo de: Qué es el Rogue Software o FakeAV ? • Ver nuestra recopilación de imágenes de Falsos Antivirus en Flickr Falsos Antispywares / Antivirus / Rogue Software, FakeAVs: Ultimas inclusiones: 47 nuevos Rogue Antispywares.

  • Solutions for Increased Productivity Simple “Do-It-Yourself” Tips For
    _ Solutions for Increased Productivity Simple “Do-it-Yourself” tips for speeding up your Computer So your computer is running slow. There are numerous things that can cause a slow PC. They are: • Spyware Programs running in the background without your knowledge. (Programs that spy on your surfing habits, etc, and report this info to someone else.) • Viruses, Trojans and other forms of Malware ( Mal icious Soft ware ). • Fragmented File Systems. • Lack of Hard Drive Space. • System Tray Overload After we look at these 5 “Anti-Productivity” Scenarios, we will look at ways of dealing with them, and bringing your system back up to speed. Spyware Let’s start off with Spyware. Spyware is software installed without your knowledge. How does this software get installed without you knowing about it, you ask? Remember the old saying, “The best things in life are free.” Well, as it turns out, Software isn’t one of them. You see, just because it is free for you (financially speaking), the company is still making money on it. Yes, I know.. you have the free version, and there is a full version, which you can buy. But, even the free version is making the software company money. How you ask? Spyware. This is how it works. A Big Software Company, lets call them “ Company A ”, has a product that they want to put on the market, but they don’t want the user to have to pay for it. They still however, want to make money off it though. How, you ask? This is where the Little Software Company (“ Company B ”) comes into the picture.

  • Fraudware How It Works and How to Prevent It from Attacking Your System a Fast Rhino Presentation to the Vistoso Computer Society November 11, 2012
    Fraudware How it works and how to prevent it from attacking your system A Fast Rhino Presentation to the Vistoso Computer Society November 11, 2012 Before we jump in to Fraudware, we should most likely begin by defining "Malware ", which is short for "Malicious software". We've all heard a lot in the past about viruses, adware, & spyware. Today, the industry basically refers to just about any software-based threat as "Malware". More specifically, Malware is a term used to define software that is intended to disrupt the operation of a computer, collect sensitive data, or gain access to private computer systems. Its definition is always expanding since new exploits continue to evolve. Malware consists of a broad spectrum of techniques used to infect systems, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits, backdoors and drive-by downloads. Each of these operate differently, however, attacks can very often include a combination of these methods. And, although many of you in this room may already be aware of these, some of you may not, so please bear with me as we go through a basic understanding of these. A virus is a program that infects executable software. When it runs, it allows the virus to spread to other executables. In the spring of 1999, a man named David L. Smith created a computer virus based on a Microsoft Word macro. He built the virus so that it could spread through e-mail messages. Smith named the virus "Melissa," saying that he named it after an exotic dancer from Florida. "Melissa" was one of the first major computer viruses to get the public's attention.
