Jacee, How to awareness from malware attackers? I've been using NIS 2009 OEM version.NIS will prevent malware attackers?
Hello everyone, I am looking forward your suggestion.

Two great applications that I always recommend are Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard by Javacool.
They run in the background to help protect against 'intruders' before they get into your machine.

Spyware Blaster needs to be updated often. Once you've updated it, click on "enable all protection".

Javacool Software

Thank you Jacee for your information, this application is freeware or commercial?

They are freeware.

and that just proves Windows 7 security has improved... they have to rewrite their viruses to attack us ;D!

 

[Jacee]

Not necessarily Mercurial.
I've seen (first hand) that a Windows 7 user can get the malware running amok if they don't take the needed precautions as we have explained over and over again.

My W7 RTM installation was just half an hour old and I was busily downloading programs from reputable sites when I caught my first trojan - must have been trailing one of those downloads. But MSE was on the guard and got it. I also notice an unusually high amout of tracking cookies that i eliminate with SAS.

 

[Mercurial]

yes but at least attackers need to re-adjust... ;P but yea windows 7 is still vulnerable if you're really not careful

no OS is immune to malicious code after all

 

[Jacee]

No, there is no OS that is clearly immune to malware..... unless it's turned off and never used
