[dba-Tech] Counter Spy

Hi Jon

It found three nasties:
  Trojan.Unclassified.gen
  Look2Me
  Inlook Express
and one harmless:
  Weatherbug

Spybot S&D found none of these.
The trial license for TrojanHunter has expired. Wonder what it would
have found; it used to find "anything" but I haven't used it for a
while.

I've used:

Spybot 1.4
Ad-Aware 1.06
Zonealarm Pro (With Anti-Spyware)
Mischel Trojan Hunter 4.2
Spy Sweeper
Panda Online ActiveScan Pro
AVG Pro

Scared you yet? :-)

Jon & Lembit,

What were you using previously that did not find the keylogger or the
Trojan
downloaders?

Yeah, it found some trojan downloaders on mine, which was kinda scary!

I downloaded and installed it.
It found WinControl, a Keylogger!

Thanks a lot, Jon.

I've just downloaded and installed Counter Spy - £15 for 3 years worth
of
updates was too silly a price to pass up. This evening, I'd run Spybot
1.4,
Ad-Aware 1.06, ZoneAlarm's AS tool and diskclean before I ran Counter
Spy.
it picked up 16 items that needed treating.



It's good - runs nice and small in the background, even on my E6600
Core 2
Duo with 2gb RAM ;-)



I'm kinda worried as to how long some of these things have been on my
system
though, although I've only had this new build installed for just over
a
month, it picked up things in the windows folder on the old hard drive.
who
knows what's been allowed to happen? Scary stuff!
