SUPERAntiSpyware is recommended informally by tech support personnel at Dell Computer and AT&T Plus support. We have been informed by many users of our software that they were told to use it by both Dell Computer and/or AT&T Plus support and that it is the only solution to completely clean their system. SUPERAntiSpyware has been positively reviewed by leading technical publications and blogs The Tech Herald: “Some recommendations for added security software include Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, SUPERAntiSpyware, HijackThis, or Spybot Search & Destroy. Each of those three applications rarely has issues running at the same time as the popular security suites, and can remove Rogue AV installations completely more often than not.” The Washington Post: “If you notice things still aren't right with your system, and you see strange messages warning you about security threats, download and install one (or both) of the following tools: Malwarebytes' Antimalware, and Superantispyware. I've found that these programs are almost always able to root out invaders left behind by scareware attacks.” What’s On My PC…: “…you really need to try SuperAntiSpyware Online Safe Scan. It is very easy to download and run a scan on your PC. The definition updates are automatically updated daily so you do not need to do anything other than download and run.” BrightHub: “SAS and MBAM are recommended because both programs can detect items that another could not. Free anti-malware that will help remove unwanted and malware... what else you can ask for?” Tech – For Everyone: “I also want to say that I admire the people behind SAS, and they get a big tip of my geek hat. They are hard working and generous and they know their stuff. Their motto is “Remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones” and I like that attitude!” Online Tech Tips: “One such program that has a premium and a free distribution is SuperAntiSpyware. This is one anti-spyware program that has a tendency to find malware that other programs, even the big names ones, fail to find.” The Guardian: “It will be best if you remove any unwanted trial software and install some free programs such as AVG or Avast antivirus software, SuperAntiSpyware…” PC World: “…If that works, sigh with relief, but consider the fact that you may have fixed only a symptom. Scan your hard drive with SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes (or both) to make sure it’s not infected.” Spyware Blockers: “When I was given the opportunity to test out SUPERAntiSpyware Professional, I was amazed (honestly).” The How-To Geek: “SuperAntiSpyware boasts being able to detect over 1 million malicious threats from Spyware, Adware, Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, Dialers, Worms, KeyLoggers, HiJackers, Parasites, Rootkits, and others. This is good to know and gives a user piece of mind when it comes to security of their PC. If you have a nasty infection this can be a great tool for discovering issues that other programs may not see.” Clear Tech Info: “After a week had passed I had scanned various computers with it. I learned that it not only removes spyware, malware and adware but it also goes a step further and removes some viruses which other programs in its category I have tested do not do.” eSecurity Planet: “The program has been downloaded over a million times at download.com where users have rated it 4 stars out of 5. More than once, when running after AntiVir, it has found and removed malicious software.” PC Hell: “SuperAntispyware has impressed me so much that its now one of the first tools I use to remove problems on a computer. It's one of the only tools that can remove some infections by itself, and the creators of the program seem to update it on a regular basis. I recommend it highly.” SUPERAntiSpyware has appeared on popular technology radio/tv/internet programs: The Tech Buzz For More Information: ComputerAmerica Mike Duncan Category5 TV Director – New Business Development Digital Nation 541-607-6553 x 111 [email protected] Computer Wise TV Geek Radio Podnutz Soundbytes Computer Outlook .

  • Watch out for Fake Virus Alerts
    State of West Virginia Cyber Security Tip ALERT West Virginia Office of Information Security and Controls – Jim Richards, WV Chief Information Security Officer WATCH OUT FOR FAKE VIRUS ALERTS Rogue security software, also known as "scareware," is software that appears to be beneficial from a security perspective (i.e. free virus scan) but provides limited or no security, generates erroneous or misleading alerts, or attempts to lure users into participating in fraudulent transactions. How does rogue security software get on my computer? Rogue security software designers create legitimate looking pop-up windows that advertise security update software. These windows might appear on your screen while you surf the web. The "updates" or "alerts" in the pop-up windows call for you to take some sort of action, such as clicking to install the software, accept recommended updates, or remove unwanted viruses or spyware. When you click, the rogue security software downloads to your computer. Rogue security software might also appear in the list of search results when you are searching for trustworthy antispyware software, so it is important to protect your computer. What does rogue security software do? Rogue security software might report a virus, even though your computer is actually clean. The software might also fail to report viruses when your computer is infected. Inversely, sometimes, when you download rogue security software, it will install a virus or other malicious software on your computer so that the software has something to detect. Some rogue security software might also: Lure you into a fraudulent transaction (for example, upgrading to a non-existent paid version of a program).

There exist indications that PUP prominence has quickly increased over the last years, but the prevalence of PUP on both consumer and enterprise hosts remains unknown. Moreover, many important aspects of PUP such as distribution vectors, code signing abuse, and economics also remain unknown. In this thesis, we empirically and sys- tematically analyze in both breadth and depth PUP abuse, prevalence, distribution, and economics. We make the following four contributions. First, we perform a systematic study on the abuse of Windows Authenticode code signing by PUP and malware.

  • Android Malware Category and Family Detection and Identification Using Machine Learning
    Android Malware Category and Family Detection and Identification using Machine Learning Ahmed Hashem El Fiky1*, Ayman El Shenawy1, 2, Mohamed Ashraf Madkour1 1 Systems and Computer Engineering Dept., Faculty of Engineering, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. 1 Systems and Computer Engineering Dept., Faculty of Engineering, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. 2 Software Engineering and Information Technology, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Egyptian Chinese University, Cairo, Egypt. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Android malware is one of the most dangerous threats on the internet, and it's been on the rise for several years. Despite significant efforts in detecting and classifying android malware from innocuous android applications, there is still a long way to go. As a result, there is a need to provide a basic understanding of the behavior displayed by the most common Android malware categories and families. Each Android malware family and category has a distinct objective. As a result, it has impacted every corporate area, including healthcare, banking, transportation, government, and e-commerce. In this paper, we presented two machine- learning approaches for Dynamic Analysis of Android Malware: one for detecting and identifying Android Malware Categories and the other for detecting and identifying Android Malware Families, which was accomplished by analyzing a massive malware dataset with 14 prominent malware categories and 180 prominent malware families of CCCS-CIC- AndMal2020 dataset on Dynamic Layers. Our approach achieves in Android Malware Category detection more than 96 % accurate and achieves in Android Malware Family detection more than 99% accurate. Our approach provides a method for high-accuracy Dynamic Analysis of Android Malware while also shortening the time required to analyze smartphone malware.

  • Rethinking Security
    RETHINKING SECURITY Fighting Known, Unknown and Advanced Threats kaspersky.com/business “Merchants, he said, are either not running REAL DANGERS antivirus on the servers managing point- of-sale devices or they’re not being updated AND THE REPORTED regularly. The end result in Home Depot’s DEMISE OF ANTIVIRUS case could be the largest retail data breach in U.S. history, dwarfing even Target.” 1 Regardless of its size or industry, your business is in real danger of becoming a victim of ~ Pat Belcher of Invincea cybercrime. This fact is indisputable. Open a newspaper, log onto the Internet, watch TV news or listen to President Obama’s recent State of the Union address and you’ll hear about another widespread breach. You are not paranoid when you think that your financial data, corporate intelligence and reputation are at risk. They are and it’s getting worse. Somewhat more controversial, though, are opinions about the best methods to defend against these perils. The same news sources that deliver frightening stories about costly data breaches question whether or not anti-malware or antivirus (AV) is dead, as reported in these articles from PC World, The Wall Street Journal and Fortune magazine. Reports about the death by irrelevancy of anti-malware technology miss the point. Smart cybersecurity today must include advanced anti-malware at its core. It takes multiple layers of cutting edge technology to form the most effective line of cyberdefense. This eBook explores the features that make AV a critical component of an effective cybersecurity strategy to fight all hazards targeting businesses today — including known, unknown and advanced cyberthreats.

  • A Poisoned Apple: the Analysis of Macos Malware Shlayer By: Minh D
    A Poisoned Apple: The Analysis of macOS Malware Shlayer by: Minh D. Nguyen Abstract Historically, the Microsoft Windows operating system family, which currently runs on more than 70 percent of computers in the world,7 has been the main target for malware. However, with the growing popularity of Apple’s MacBook products, the macOS operating system has become a new platform for attackers to target the general computer users. According to the 2016/2017 Security Report of AV-TEST, the number of malware samples for macOS detected in 2016 has increased by an astonishing 370 percent compared to the same figure in 2015.3 In order to address the rising interest of attackers in the macOS operating system, this project provides an analysis of a newly discovered malware for macOS, Shlayer, to reveal a well- known tactic that attackers can utilize to infect machines running on any operating system, and discusses possible countermeasures for this strategy. I. Introduction macOS is often hailed as a more secure operating system compared to its counterpart Microsoft Windows.2 However, in reality, many attacking techniques targeting Windows machines can also be applied to macOS machines. The analysis of the new Shlayer malware, discovered by researchers of Intego in February 2018,1 will reveal a familiar strategy that attackers often utilize to target victim machines without regards of the operating system. With the worldwide growth of macOS usage, it is important to recognize this attacking method and understand that in many cases, the success of an attack does not depend on the security of the operating system but on the awareness of the user.

There is a false perception that sophisticated attacks are too difficult to prevent and the only alternative is detection. But detection is NOT the new prevention. Cybersecurity professionals must make it their mission to STOP attacks, not just become proficient at detecting them. It's no secret that cybercriminals are willing to spend a lot of time and money to obtain the information they desire. And, the risk that these criminals will be caught and convicted is relatively low. Despite well-publicized botnet takedowns, like that of Darknode this past July, researchers estimate that less than 1% of cybercrimes receive a corresponding conviction.
