Panda Releases Cloud AV Beta 2

Per Bill over at Panda:

Hi Matt,

I wanted to let you and the remove-malware community know that today Panda Security released a significant update to the Cloud Antivirus beta, which you can learn more about via this blog post written by the company’s Chief Research Advisor, Pedro Bustamante: http://blog.cloudantivirus.com/2009/06/30/cloud-antivirus-beta2-released/.

Highlights include:
• New - “Undo” Option for Recycle Bin
• New - Synchronous Real-Time Cloud-Scan
• New - Latency & Response Control of the Cloud-Scanner
• Fixed - Slow Scans
• Fixed - Recycle Bin Unblock Functionality

In addition, Panda will still release a Beta3 version in September prior to final release of Version 1.0 later this fall. The next beta update will support new platforms (Windows7, 64bits), include improved features, a new website, a Collective Intelligence real-time encyclopedia and some additional goodies – all based on feedback from the beta community.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you’d like to catch up with Pedro.

Best,
Bill

F-Secure ISTP 2010 Review

Last night I took a look at F-Secure's ISTP 2010 and the results were really impressive. F-Secure managed to block all 10 malicious URL's but only when DeepGuard (their behavioral anti-malware engine) was set to "always ask".

• Free to test.
• Blocks and removes malware with very little fuss.
• Easily configurable.
• Easy install process.
• Scans web sites and links for malware.
• Scans web traffic for malware.
• Has a strong Behavior Blocker called DeepGuard.
• Absolutely elegant interface.

BAD:

• The initial updates take nearly 25 minutes (I just found out that updates are coming from Europe.  I was told when the product goes live they will have update servers in the US).
• The initial configuration is NOT good.  F-Secure needs to automatically check web traffic for malware (just a little check box) and DeepGuard needs to ask everytime, otherwise it's pretty useless.  I realize they are trying to minimize popups, but DeepGuard is just NOT smart enough to know what's good an bad (which results in 90% of everything malicious being set to allowed).

Exposing The Dirty Side Of Internet Advertising: Malvertised.com Is Launched!

Malvertised products are a billion dollar a year ripoff to all of humanity!  Since soooo many people are "falling for" malvertised products and services I thought I would do my part and try to expose the dirty side of advertising on the internet...the side that makes your poor mom buy something because some fake review site told her it was the best.

Let the exposure begin. Malvertised.com
