I know this is not the Vipre nor CounterSpy thread but wanted to get feedback from others on this one.
We had a system that was running CounterSpy and had the latest patches but the all wise user that was using it, somehow chose to installed Spyware 2009 as they made the decision they were not protected. The application installed and Counterspy was disabled. That is where it began.. We tried some scans with the machine being up using CounterSpy, Vipre, and Malwarebytes. We came across different issues. We made the decision to pull the drive and run the scans from a host system with the drive connected as a slave. Vipre found some issues and addressed them. We then ran Malwarebytes and more malware was found including Spyware 2009. We reran Vipre but reported that all was clean. We ended up using Malwarebytes and all was cleaned. I understand that there is no silver bullet but I would think that if Vipre found Spyware 2008, which was also on the system, it should have atleast found Spyware 2009. Thoughts.. Has anyone come across the Spyware 2008 / 2009 or Anti-Virus 2008 / 2009 family?
