Looks like Symantec didn’t properly test out Norton Internet Security 2012 (especially Norton 360 v5).   Norton 2012 users have been complaining about lot’s of bugs in Symantec’s latest version.  (here’s an example - http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/so-disapointed-with-NIS-2012/td-p/540758 ) I have a feeling that we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this since Antivirus companies are rushing [...]

Well…don’t count on Apple Care doing jack sh*t about fake malware (Mac Defender and Mac Security Rogues).  I think Apple has been caught with their “security pants down” on this.  I mean let’s face it, one of their biggest selling points of a Mac are those people who say “Oh I use a Mac, they [...]

Hey guys, check out the new features in Avira’s AntiVir 10 beta.  It’s looking pretty good so far, I hope they keep the RAM utilization to where it is right now: Avira AntiVir ProActiv Starting with Version 10, we integrated the new behavior-based detection technology. Read more details under “Avira AntiVir ProActiv”. Improved User Interface [...]

LOL…busted. I just read a great article over at CNET about IOBit stealing millions of signatures from the Malwarebytes database. I didn’t realize IOBit was a Chinese company, so this doesn’t really help their case considering Chinese companies are known to steal any technology at will (something I know personally about). I hope Malwarebytes pursues [...]

26% of all tweets actually contain shortened URL’s that lead to malicious URL’s and/or downloads.  With a number like that it’s bound to start giving twitter a bad name…come to think of it…it’s working.  I’ll often advise my clients to avoid accessing twitter via a PC since you just can’t trust those URL’s or who [...]

I just stopped by the Panda Cloud AV blog to see what those guys were up to and the first post caught my attention. Apparently Panda’s Cloud AV (currently beta 4) has really been improved (as compared when I tested beta 2) because according to PC World it’s scoring pretty dam high… 1. Panda: 99.4% [...]
