SAS Version: 4.22.1014 - Released
SuperAntiSpyware 4.22 was released this week and I’ll be testing the pro version against some new threats (threats found in the wild as of this week).
SuperAntiSpyware Detection and Removal Video. Nov Test 2.
Due to the fact that I forgot to update SAS Pro on my last video test I decided to redo the November test. I’m amazed at how fast and effective SASPro is. I’m eagerly awaiting version 4.22.
…if they would only stop using that Windows installer!!! I WANT SAFEMODE INSTALL CAPABILITIES!!!

Comodo Internet Security SAS Log
Here is what Comodo Internet Security 3.5 missed (according to SuperAntiSpyware).
Download the CIS-SAS Log
The only particular item that caught my immediate attention was that
Trojan.Mezzia/Resident
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINGVD32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINGVD32.DLL
was still resident and active…although you’d never know it really. The PC ran perfectly normal and continues to do so.

Bootable Antivirus Scan Log Sample
I thought I’d upload the stats from one of today’s clients. This client complained of “security alerts” which were just rogue anti-privacy applications.
I cleaned this PC with my bootable antimalware (avira and superantispyware) disc. I added the log below for your viewing pleasure (these infections are fresh)!
Happy Hunting:

System Doctor 2006 – Rogue Anti-Fixware
Well…this one hit close to home. One of our secretaries called and said she had some popup that kept popping up asking her to correct severe system errors. I immediately knew this was some bull Sh*t rogue application…seen one seen’em all.
System Doctor 2006 uses the same GUI style that Norton Products use. [...]
