Time To Exclude The Bad ISPs

In recent months, three questionable Internet service providers — EstDomains, Atrivo, and McColo — were effectively taken offline resulting in noticeable drops of malware and spam.

It is hard to argue that such takedowns, which took the command-and-control servers for several major botnets offline, would not benefit everyone who uses the Internet. Estimates of the decrease in spam from the McColo takedown ran from 40 to 80 percent, even if it lasted only for a short time. More importantly, as bulletproof hosting providers drop bad actors from their client list, the cost of hosting the command-and-control servers go up. Increasing the transaction costs to commit cybercrime is one of the best strategies to reduce it.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: Rogue Slayer

As most of you already know, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is developed by a group of our own. By that, I mean a dedicated group of malware fighters who have been active in malware research on all levels for many years. From source to delivery and everything in between.

They follow any and all leads to what ever end they find and report and then include their findings into MBAM's database to better hone the killer instincts that MBAM now has.

Over the last 48 hours I've installed:

  • Internet Antivirus
  • Antivirus XP 2008
  • Total Secure 2009
  • Antivirus Pro 2008

Without exception MBAM eradicated each and every file which was installed with ease.

Only requiring a reboot to delete a couple of stubborn ones.

And this has been my experience in several other threads with victims over at cexx as well.

Relentless pursuit has to be a mainstay of any anti-spyware product and this team of researchers demonstrate that each and every day with multiple definition updates and program upgrades regularly. Without keeping on top of the latest threats, an anti-spyware app can quickly become obsolete.

I don't see that happening anytime soon with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware group.

I recommend you
try them out. You won't be disappointed.
