Artificially Intellegent Antivirus Systems

WEB 2.0 base application like Forums/Blogs are proving to be the ultimate solution to provide rapid reporting of viruses, spyware and other threats.

How People Get Helped These Days

An ordinary user usually posts some problems with his/her system in a very non-technical way. Usually, Geeks at the forums/Blogs try to understand this and they try to help the poor guy/girl. There has been a great use of an application called “HijackThis” on windows systems. HijackThis or IceSword inspect the compromised system and produce a log file which can help those geeks to understand the behavior of the problem.

On the basis of previous experiences or their own trust of any antivirus/antispyware application, people try to help others on such social websites. Most of the times, this solves their problem.

Antivirus Should Behave Like a Forum Geek

This whole process can be formalized in a manner that software vendors can build such applications which try to mimic behavior of the helper on those blogs/forums. This is not too complex; the process can be as simple as to extract information from a forum thread.

On the basis of keywords in the thread/question; and a log generated by HijackThis, IceSword or similar programs can produce a formatted report to the software vendors. The functionality of log generators mentioned earlier can also be integrated inside the antivirus tool.

A user may have a reporting facility inside the application and they may auto-format

They should be smart enough to build their knowledgebase from the given input which may be poorly formatted as mentioned earlier.

For instance, a user may see ‘my computer’ changed to something else in a windows environment, this is not harmful but could be a virus activity, A.V. system should be able to fix registry entries and may record this as a viral activity and may keep this in their knowledgebase and should prevent this from happening again.

Don’t remove the virus only

Many antiviruses today do detect most of the harmful entities and they can eliminate them as well, but they never have any idea how to fix the damage that has been caused by the virus they have deleted/eliminated from a computer system, e.g. On a windows system, many times when a virus is detected by a A.V. system, its rare that they fix say, corrupted registry values. I hope A.V. Companies should think about these features in the near future.

Funny UST Scandal.exe (Sdbot-DIQ, Imaut-A) is a worm that usually spread by e-mail attachments. After installation Funny UST Scandal.exe turns of antivirus programs. Also it can download different malware programs from Internet and install it without your knowledge. This worm infects Yahoo Messenger and may block every application running on PC. Funny UST Scandal.exe may in fect network computers, through network shares and infected e-mails.

Software used to build the virus= AutoIt V3

he virus, it seems, creates three files on all your root drives: A fake .avi file named “Funny UST Scandal.avi.exe”, an smss.exe file, and an autorun.ini to automatically start the virus when it’s on a new inserted drive.

Seems this problem is relatively new, as I haven’t been able to find any sort of help for it anywhere, other than the usual “scan with AdAware and Norton”. It automatically closes programs that are “threats” to it, it seems: I can’t keep any anti-spyware programs open long enough to scan for it. AVG Free doesn’t detect it, either. Safe mode doesn’t stop it from starting up with the OS either.

Hoping you guys could help? Here’s the HJT log:

Tired of complaining about loading startup programs that seem to take forever to open? Surfed the Web but you couldn’t even make it to the login page without slowing your system down? These are symptoms of a PC running slow, but it doesn’t mean that it is already the end of the world. With a little maintenance procedure and a few good practices to follow in installing programs, you can stop the problem today.

If your computer finds it very slow to boot up, there might be some startup issues that we need to take care first. Learning how to manage startup processes can solve a case of congested traffic of programs, the most probable cause of a PC running slow. Start by typing “msconfig” in the ‘Run’ command. Next, deselect all unimportant processes, such as music drivers, games, or adwares that do not need to start right away. This will give extra speed in return, and perform a reboot to see if it works. Get rid of a PC running slow by keeping programs at a manageable number-if you don’t need it, trash it. Give your hard disk a favor by freeing some disk space which in turn maximizes your system’s efficiency and minimizes RAM requirements due to a fewer number of processes, thus making your computer run faster.

A PC running slow can be best prevented by performing a few maintenance actions for your computer. First, there is a Disk Cleanup feature in Windows which fetches the name and size of files that may be deleted without harming your system. You can find it at Accessories, under the System Tools.

Finally, here is a warning in installing applications: repeated installations of programs congest your Registry, thus compromising your PC performance. A PC running slow can be avoided by refraining from constantly installing and uninstalling applications, as it clogs your Registry with unnecessary entries. Registry entries of an uninstalled program should be deleted in order to optimize your computer speed. You can cure the problem of having a PC running slow by running a registry fix in your system. There a lot of free software in the Internet that can help you spot unwanted registry entries and programs. Run the free software (such as HijackThis) and it will give you a log file that enumerates the entire processes running in the system. You can quit these processes to give your PC a higher amount of available RAM, thus boosting your speed up and optimizing your system operations.

Do you ask yourself why is my pc running slow? You can learn the exact problem and FIX it today at www.ComputerProblemFix.com

Windows log files are produced by the system to aid w/ troubleshooting potential problems, as they provide reports of everything your system is experiencing, be it protection issues or something else. The various types of log files are comprehensible by certain permission groups. For instance, the protection event log is able to be comprehended by the administrator. Logs made by some applications, like log information software like “HijackThis”, are capable to be comprehended by all users.

What can I utilize to view these log Files?

All of the different logs that Windows involuntarily produce may be comprehended by the “Event Viewer” software. This software is easily used over the control panel. For methods on how to run this program, the following are instructions:

1. Start by pushing the “Start” key that can be seen at the bottom left side of your screen.

2. After the menu pops up, find and click “Control Panel”. This will open the Control Panel in a new window.

3. On the left side of the menu, click “Switch to Classic View”.

4. Click the “Administrative Tools” icon 2 times.

5. Once you are in the folder of Administrative Tools, click the “Event Viewer” icon twice. This will run the Event viewer software.

Here you can view all kinds of different logs regarding your computer and its status. Several different choices are as follows:

• Security

• Application

• Internet Explorer

• System

Each of these comprise their logs and data report

Another method to comprehend the log files is by making use of a built in plain text viewer, like Wndows’ Word pad. Directions on how to do these things are as follows:

1. Start by pushing the “Start” button at the bottom left side of your screen.

2. Then click All Program – Accessories – WordPad

3. After you have opened WordPad, click “File” that can be seen at the upper left side.

4. Then click “Open”

5. This will bring a “select file box”. Here you will ask to navigate to the file you like to open. Once you have found it, click the file and run it.

6. WordPad will show the contents of file. If it looks distorted at anytime, it is because it was not meant to be comprehended with WordPad and it maybe is not a system file.

Hopefully this article has answered your questions about WindowsLogFiles. If you like to try some and see what you think, I suggest www.windowslogfiles.com for WindowsLogFiles. www.windowslogfiles.com provides more ideas about WindowsLogFiles.
