Re: [H] Upgrade Time

It's not an issue of a one vendor market. When AMD comes up with something good enough you can be sure the market will swing yet again to AMD's camp. What makes me laugh are all the complete power gamer PC's in EGM that only come in AMD flavors during a Intel market. Well, that and the price

[H] Trojan??

This am when I started up a message came on the screen from AVG. AVG finds you have a trojan. Do you want to remove it forcefully? I clicked yes and the message reappeared. I could not get rid of it. I restarted the computer and the message was gone. Now when I start Firefox I get a message it is

Re: [H] Trojan??

Wait - it found a Trojan in the Zone Alarm setup files? That to me sounds like a false positive - mostly likely those files contain a heuristic pattern to help ZA discover Trojans and AVG is picking that up as an actual Trojan. That's been known to happen. But hey, it could also be some really

Re: [H] Trojan??

That very well may be the Trojan redirecting all your DNS requests to its own dns server but the server might not be up or it might be redirecting you to an IP of its own and that IP could be down. Trojans messing with DNS are especially dangerous because even if you type www.wellsfargo.com you

Re: [H] Upgrade Time

I agree that we are in the era of good enough computing and it doesn't matter how superior Core i7 is because the bottle necks are in other parts of the system and that means primarily the hard drive. I'm Eh, that's a pretty tired argument. While it's true that disk performance has not kept

[H] Reading Vista minidumps

I'm struggling here. I'm trying to diagnose some Vista BSODs and I have it set to create minidumps when it crashes. I installed the Windbg debugger tool and the Longhorn symbol library. My problem is I can't get the symbol path set in the debugger. The symbols were installed to

Re: [H] Trojan??

Could be a few different things going on. Might have been a false positive and you might have killed something necessary for your internet connection to work. But it might have also been a real trojan. Sometimes they insert themselves pretty deeply in system processes and removing them breaks

Re: [H] Trojan??

Brian, I have been running an AVG scan and it has found several places for the Trojan Horse Agent_r.CX in Zone Alarm setup files on my desktop. Zls setup_70_484_000 70_337_000 70_483_000 70_462_000 If I put those files in recycle bin and empty it will that get rid of

Brian, AVG cleared all the files except 3. I get a message that Bigger than archive size limit for those 3. How does one change the archive file limit? Sam Brian Weeden wrote: Wait - it found a Trojan in the Zone Alarm setup files? That to me sounds like a false positive - mostly likely

Re: [H] Trojan??

Hmm that’s odd. How big is the file? Can you zip up the files and upload them somewhere for me to get? I can run it through our systems and tell you what I find out about the files. Thanks, -- Ali Mesdaq (CISSP, GIAC-GREM) Sr. Security Researcher Websense

Of course this is all very preliminary and we won't get the real goods until the NDA expires next month but check this out. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ensl=zh-CNtl=enu=http://diy.pconline.com.cn/cpu/reviews/0810/1438115.html Greg Sevart wrote: I agree that we are in the era of
