Behaviour

You got this virus if :

Beware, An Antivirus Program Infected with Virut

I found an interesting website speaking about virus analyzing in advance. In one of their post, I found an analysis about antivirus which infected by virus. Horrible.

Don’t be wrong, it’s not mean they sell virus (which is virut), but unfortunately their was were infected. They have removed infected version now, but still, funny isn’t it?. Antivirus Got Virus!

New Backdoor Virus, Backdoor Syzoor

If your antivirus suddenly refuse to run, beware, maybe you got Backdoor Syzoor in your system.

This Backdoor virus is not easily described by it’s name, because the file they created random file name, but if you found vgbj33obieu.sys (84,992 bytes), surely you got backdoor syzoor in your system.

Still Looking for Yuyun Antivirus?

I think too many people still loking for Yuyun antivirus, while I think yuyun is not a thread anymore. Ok, if you still bothered by Yuyun, please go to Avira homepage, because it recognize Yuyun as VBS/Yuyun.A.

Why I recommend AVIRA?.

• First, because it able to recognize your YUYUN virus, while AVAST can’t,
• Second: you can easily upload your virus sample to be checked. It help them to be more rensponsive on a new virus
• Third : They provide free version (actually for me the best antivirus is Mc. Afee, but it’s not free guys!).
• Fourth : You can upload your virus sample easily. .
• Fifth : Four reason is not enough?….

Yes, AVIRA is a little sharp in detecting a virus, so sometimes your favourite crack program will be recognized as virus too, and avira will refuse to open it. Here’s is my solution

1. Zip your crack software, zip again and give a password
2. When you want to use the crack program, just disable Antivir Guard. Enable again when you finish it
3. You always able to restore your suspected virus in any time. Just see the report, and restore

The only one thing I don’t like from AVIRA is, they don’t provide exclusion for our file (which AVAST provide it). So your suspected file will be recognized again, and again, and that’s annoying
