A socially engineered e-mail, which contains a Trojan file that exploits a zero-day vulnerability and then hides behind a rootkit, might be the perfect attack and impossible to defend against.
It's not really an option to omit virus protection, but which vendor should you entrust your protection to? We test two of the leading candidates.
Microsoft releases a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer, plugging a security hole that had been used by Trojan horse program QHosts to compromise consumers' PCs.
This worm looks for systems already infected with SubSeven, then exploits the backdoor Trojan horse with new code.
A security start-up is borrowing a technique from the research labs to try to give Internet Explorer PCs relief from Web-based attacks.
Following its December purchase of anti-spyware specialist Giant, Microsoft has produced a tool designed to protect Windows against spyware. We take a first look at the beta version.
