New Resource: Using Static Routes to Block Malware and Spyware


Blocking IP networks associated with spyware and malware through the use of "null routes" have traditionally been limited to corporations with network administrators. This new draft describes an additional tool for a home or small business in the fight against spyware, a script which will "null route" IP networks on the local machine.


Centralized Spyware Detection: Detecting Malware Infections in a Corporate Environment


Malware infections on corporate networks is increasing. This paper briefly describes the role CLSIDs and Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) play in malware infections. It also announces a new Open-Source anti-malware scanner which scans a corporate network for malware infections by scanning remote registries for the presence of unauthorized Browser Helper Objects (BHOs).

It is this author's hope this remote spyware scanner will identify malware and adware installed on a users' desktop (detected by the presence of an unauthorized BHO) early in the infection cycle, before the machine is completely infested with malware "crud".

By identifying which malware has been installed despite corporate anti-malware measures taken at the firewall, router, URL-blocking proxies, and desktop, steps can also be taken to prevent other machines from becoming infected as well.
