Re: [Declude.Virus] What is it?

Another way to defend against these is with your desktop AV program. McAfee Enterprise 7.x has some check boxes to turn on testing for these pests. (Because they're not exactly a virus, McAfee makes you turn on the extra checking) Some corporate tools, like remote control or intrusion testing may produce false positives. Because in the "wrong hands" these can be dangerous cracker/hacker tools. So, do some testing before making a mass switch. You may have some tools to exclude from checking. It has worked ok here in early testing. http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100696.htm (This is a typical McAfee write-up for a spyware, Adware-180Solutions) Greg Greg Little wrote: The only other really effective way to "prevent further infections" is to block access to the whole internet. Greg PS These Spyware programs have gotten at least as annoying as the viruses. Between McAfee and Declude most of the viruses never reach the user PCs, but several times a week I'm addressing some kind of Spyware issue.
