REMEMBER if you leave Windows open the BUGS come in ;)
Though viruses and worms put the data in computers they infect at risk, an equally serious problem is that many infections continuously broadcast network requests or attempts to find other vulnerable computers. In this way, infections perpetuate themselves, and their collective broadcasts can result in the large-scale traffic that comprises Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
what is that? Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
Unfortunately many of the people whose computers are infected just don't realize this problem. They may be casual computer users who don't have anything "confidential" on their systems and therefore don't see a need to protect it. They don't realize that their systems can be co-opted to compromise the security of the internet at-large. If you are reading this, Chances are you are familiar with issues pertaining to computer security. But what about your friends, neighbours and family? Is their anti-virus software up-to-date? Have they applied O.S. patches? Are they behind a firewall? Do they know enough *not* to click on unknown attachments or not to install dubious software?
Microsoft wishes to combat against all malware....
If you have malware for submission, you may submit them to Microsoft at the following e-mail addresses:
You need to do the following when submitting a malware to Microsoft:
Compressed the file (zip or rar file) then password protect it with "infected"
Type "False Positive" or "False Negative" in the e-mail subject line to indicate the type of submission
Note:
You may also submit URL (a website name or page or an HTML based email) that might infect a system with any type of malware.
*Here try these few sites to scan your computer prior to installing a good program......*
You can get a free web based virus scan at these locations. These won't stop you getting infected, you need an anti-virus monitor for that.

The Great security site
SpinRite surprises many people when it reports that their drives are running WAY too hot.
The reason I'm writing is to share the news with you and your readers of a terrific and important new service which Steve and TechTV's Leo Laporte are offering: Every Thursday afternoon they spend 20 to 25 minutes creating an audio column about personal computer security called "Security Now!". http://www.GRC.com/securitynow.htm
The audio columns can be automatically downloaded through an standard RSS feed "podcast" (for podcast people) or downloaded in two sizes directly from the Security Now! page on Steve Gibson's site.
Stay current and make this your "Homepage" Steve keeps up-to-date better than most. http://www.grc.com/default.htm
Then click on the word "SheildsUP!" and read the pages on the bottom after hitting the proceed button. On this next page you could click on the all service ports button to check your connection, Messenger Spam to learn more about cookies and *Most Important* read these pages Please see Explain this to me! below for information about Windows File Sharing and Internet port vulnerabilities.
All updates should be installed a minimum of once per month, preferably after the 13th of the month, If there is none on the thirteenth then be sure to check each day there after. And must be done before regular use of the internet.
When one downloads from the internet, please be sure to do the following, this applies to everything but Windows Updates.
1. Be sure to notice where you place it on your computer
2. Scan it with your Antivirus program AVG or Avast or BitDefender to be quick right click
3. After it scans and comes back clean, Double click the "exe" to install it or to get the updated version
4. If your Av says infected scan your entire computer then go and get it again *not too likely* but if so, also check now with your trojan scanner "A-Squared".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************Security Updates************ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allow time for each update and scan to finish successfully, although scanning of each system should only be done once all systems are completely updated.
HINTS;
Your computer should be disconnected from the internet in order to perform the system *scans*.
If any downloading difficulties arise, run Spybot Search and Destroy.
1.*Windows Update:*
Keep your system safe & secure with Windows Update To prevent unwanted spyware and adware from being installed behind your back, you need to install all the latest;Critical Updates; from Microsoft. Doing so is easier than you might think. Microsoft has an entire Windows Update site devoted to automatically updating users' systems with all the latest fixes and patches for a wide range of Microsoft software, including Windows, Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access), and Internet Explorer. It is strongly suggested you to take your system past the Windows Update site and let that site download and install the appropriate fixes for your computer . Doing so just might save you some grief and headaches down the road: Windows Update http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Notice on the main page these words, " | Windows Family | Windows Marketplace | Office Family | Microsoft Update" Much of the update process at Windows Update is automated, so it's, simple and convenient. The Windows Update site will install a small program to analyze the software on your system and recommend the appropriate fixes. This process takes only a few minutes. Once Windows update has finished analyzing your system, you'll be presented with a menu of downloads that Windows Update deems appropriate for your computer. At a minimum you should let Windows Update install the fixes marked as Critical Updates. The other available updates (Recommended updates, Drivers and Enhancements) are optional. Check the boxes for the updates that you wish to install (Critical Updates are checked by default). Then click the appropriate button to start the download and installation process. You'll be shown a summary of the updates that you've selected, and then you'll presented with a "License Agreement." After you Click through the "License Agreement," the download and installation process will start. Since the entire download and installation process is automated, there's almost nothing for you to do except reboot the computer after all the updates have been installed.
Connect to the internet via Internet Explorer, Select the Tools menu, Select Windows Update once the windows update screen appears, select Express Install, install all critical updates; others are your option (if you need them)
Verify that all updates have been installed by disconnecting from the internet, Re-Starting the computer, Re-connecting to the net and following the above instructions again.
Only if you are not already running an Antivirus on your machine.
There is a way to test your antivirus program yourself, with absolute safety. Not only that, you can find out how well and/or if you have an AV program installed, and you don’t have to be a geek, nerd or computer tech to accomplish it. EICAR (formerly the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research) provides a "test string" in various forms that will trigger your scanner, but IS NOT itself a virus and will not harm your computer. Here are the simple instructions.
Scroll down to the middle of the page where you see a string of code written, and read the section below the string. (You can also read the section above, but it really doesn’t apply to anyone but vendors of antivirus programs.)
1. Copy the string of code in the middle of the page, and save it in Notepad on your desktop as "eicar.com".
2. Download "eicar com.zip" and "eicarcom2.zip" and save them to your desktop.
3. Run your antivirus program.
--Any scanner should find the file "eicar.com".
--Any scanner worth using should also find the file "eicar com.zip".
--A really good scanner will find all three files: "eicarcom2.zip" is the original code string inside a zip file inside another zip file. A program that scans that deep will find just about any virus.
If your AV program fails to find any or all of the files, consider downloading..... 2. Avast! Home Edition: http://download15.avast.com//eng/programs.html
Just follow the instructions to load it. You will need to give your registering e-Mail address but do not worry they do not spam you. This program updates often and automatically and works all the time.

*NEW* this program is only for XP, Can be used to prevent some services from running along with the others.
A bit complex, be sure to get the full awareness from the website in order to use it properly. The xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in update and authentication 'features' in WindowsXP. For example, there's a service running in the background which is called 'Automatic Updates'. I don't know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and checking or unchecking some check boxes. This will take you approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat utility can do the same in 1 minute? This utility was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known 'Suspicious' Functions in WindowsXP. It's customizable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended. This utility is DONATION WARE! This means, you don't have to pay anything for this program and you can give it to anyone who's interested in it, as long as you don't sell it. If you find this tool useful, and wanna gimme something back, think about donating a small amount of money. http://xp-antispy.org/content/view/12/40/
Complementary program that works well with Spybot and MS "Windows Defender" or your full time Spyware protection.

4. If your Av says infected scan your entire computer then go and get it again *not too likely* but if so also check now with your trojan scanner.
There is no need to scan with Zone Alarm it's just a firewall.
7. Spyware Blaster:
SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
"SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed. How? By setting a 'kill bit' for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage. You can run Internet Explorer with Active-X enabled, but you will never even get a 'Yes/No' box popped up, asking you to install a spyware Active-X control (Internet Explorer will never download or run it!). All other Active-X controls or plug-ins will work fine. The SpywareBlaster database contains information on these known spyware Active-X controls. Make sure you run the Check For Updates feature frequently to get the latest database! (And make sure you check the new items to protect your system against them!) As a side benefit, setting this 'kill bit' will also prevent the spyware Active-X from running, in many cases, if it is already installed on your system."

Warning!
I once said I run BitDefender Antivirus and Avast together although one is not actively scanning, Donna told me this, Please read.
*I have to thank Donna for this update*
Please remember that one antivirus program is enough. Just make sure that the antivirus program that you are using is UP-TO-DATE and SUPPORTED.
SUPPORTED means the maker of the antivirus software continues in providing product updates and upgrades. An antivirus (or any security tool) that do not have development (updates/upgrades) is in my humble opinion, a product to stay away. Malware isn’t using old tricks so your antivirus program should continue to support the software by providing detections and program updates and upgrades. Sticking with old version shouldn’t be put into practise just because it is the one you like/prefer and/or it is free. Old versions is usually not supported. There are times unsupported versions is OK to use but be sure it is not a security tool. A security tool prevents malware.
UP-TO-DATE means your antivirus software (or any security tool) has the latest detections. Running an antivirus with old detections is useless. You are are putting your computer at HIGH RISK and you are posing a threat to other users because your computer is maybe sending out malware to some of your contacts. You should also run a malware scan regularly. It is also a good idea to use the program’s scheduler or Windows Schedule Task to manage the scan schedule. As for getting all the protection you can get… it depends on how a person is using the internet and the computer but the best thing to do is follow the best practise that were published by:
* Sophos http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/bestpractice/
* Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/intro_viruses_protect.mspx
Like you, I don’t want to use a computer by only maintaining it everyday but I want to enjoy using the computer and the internet so one of my practises is by keeping a good full system backup twice a month or whenever I feel like backing-up. If anything happens, I don’t have to worry of losing any settings, files and the system. Learn more about backups in:
* Data Backup vs System Backup http://dozleng.com/internetsecurity/?p=73
* Why you should backup http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/backup.mspx
Again, *one (1) antivirus program is enough*. No user is getting extra protection by installing more than 1 antivirus program. If you need to know whether the system is infected and you want to use another antivirus scanner, run an online virus scan:
When writing e-Mails Using the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) feature of one's email client to send messages to more than one recipient is also recommended, as it helps protect against the spread of viruses as well as protect the privacy of recipients' addresses. More info on this and on how to BCC here:http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~watrous/bcc-for-privacy.html
Many people it is wise to use BCC in your email client rather than using the to field for all to see everyone you mailed it to. Care to learn a bit more here is a great page from CERT. Although in many situations it may be appropriate to list email recipients in the To: or CC: fields, sometimes using the BCC: field may be the most desirable option. What is BCC?
BCC, which stands for blind carbon copy, allows you to hide recipients in email messages. Unlike addresses in the To: field or the CC: (carbon copy) field, addresses in the BCC: field cannot be seen by other users.
Trojans are often not caught by virus scanning engines, because these are focused on viruses, not Trojans. Catching such threats would require the use of a Trojan scanner (a.k.a Trojan cleaner, Trojan remover, anti-Trojan, a-Squared). see, http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/
