Topic: 10 more ways to detect computer malware

[scott0720]

I have used several of these tools.  ComboFix has a lot of capabilities and is very powerful.  As stated above, though, know what yo are doing when using some of these or they can really mess things up to.  A tool is just that, a tool.  If not used properly, it doesn't work the way its intended...

Malwarebytes is an excellent product for Malware. Its free for the on demand scanner and if you want full time coverage ( in the background ) the cost of the product is minimul.  WWW.malwarebytes.org

It has pickup up various problems that the other so called "virus and malware" programs could not find

Mcafee detects potential virus material in keygens?are they harmful?

Yes, 99% of them are infected with some kind of Malware.

Actually.... Most of them are clean. Detection occurs due to strange encryption and compression algorithms - at least I've been promissed over the years by those tools ; )

When I download warez (torrents), I always double-check the patch/crack/activator with one of the online multi antivirus scanners (see some of them here: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,1282.10.html ).


Peace!

When it comes to that kind of software.. all you have is if you trust the source or not.

I remember a SetupVSE repackaged with a trojan that was being distributed in torrent...
