Zero-cost, three-step procedure if your PC might have become infected as the result of installing a program you downloaded. (a) First, upload the installation file of the program you installed to Jotti.org for a free scan. Jotti will then run it through more than a dozen malware scanners and let you know if there is a problem. If Jotti determines that your file is clean, it doesn't mean that there is no infection. It simply means that it's unlikely there is an infection, and that folks, is a very comforting finding. (b) Download and run the free Panda Rootkit detector . Again, a clean scan is not a 100% guarantee of no infection, but should add greatly to your confidence. Panda doesn't run on Vista, so Vista users should use the BlackLight anti-rootkit scanner instead. (c) Finally, download HijackThis from this page , and follow the instructions on the same page which tell you how to create a log that you can paste to web forums.

POPSStorm worm The Storm worm first appeared at the beginning of the year, hidden in email attachments with the subject line: '230 dead as storm batters Europe'. The PC of anyone who opened the attachment became infected and was secretly enrolled in an ever-growing network of compromised machines called a 'botnet'. The term 'bot' is a derivation of 'software robot', which is another way of saying that an infected machine effectively becomes the obedient slave of its - illicit - owner. If your PC is compromised in this way then, while you may own the machine, someone else controls it. And they can use it to send spam, to participate in distributed denial-of-service attacks on banks, e-commerce or government websites, or for other even more sinister purposes.

POPSHomeland Security IT chief blamed for cyberwoes Homeland security with a problem! I thought they didn't have these kind of issues. I bet one of his excuses would be "everyone else is doing it" .... Why are we spending tones of money on this "department" when they haven't even got the basic stuff down? Like our leadership with 90k in the freezer, they should make him give the money to charity.
