How does anti-malware scanners work?

Antimalware scanners used to use signature databases to see if your computer was infected... When the program was run it would check to see if certain conditions where true (for example: new registry keys, files / folders) and if they where it would show the infection that made those changes. The process of finding new infection, creating signatures and publishing them took to long, new viruses where being made while they where still trying to detect and remove the old ones! Today, antimalware scanners use behavior based or heuristic (bloodhound) detection tools, they are like watchdogs... Looking for common changes made by malware, when sensitive settings are modified by a program the user is notified. It is now common to see a malware scanner that has both signature and behavior based, for maximum prevention and removal.

Overview:

--Behavior based scanners are good mainly for prevention

--Signature based scanners are good mainly for removal of threats.

--Maximum protection is achived when both methods are combined

Why is windows saying that Norton Security Suite by Comcast is turned off when Norton is saying its on and I'm protected do you have a virus What should you do?

I had this problem tonight. I would get the little red shield "Windows Security Center" popup that would say:

"norton security suite is turned off"

"norton security suite is turned off"

If I clicked on it, it would say:

Norton Security Suite says the Norton Firewall is turned off

and it would say:

Norton Security Suite says the Norton Antivirus is turned off

I opened the Norton Security suite (from Comcast), and both the Firewall and Antivirus were enabled and running. I tried all sorts of things. I was convinced that the "Windows Security Center" warning was a virus. I was afraid to try clicking on the button in Windows Security Center that claimed it would fix the problem. It turned out to be a lot less serious than that. Here is what I did that actually fixed the problem:

1) I ran as thorough scan with Norton and MalWareBytes (aka MBAM), and found nothing. If you have any other trusted antivirus program, run them as well.

2) I disconnected the network, and disabled the WIFI modem

3) I manually turned off Both the Norton Firewall and the Norton Antivirus

4) I rebooted, and waited for the "Windows Security Center" popup, and I noted that the Norton Tray icon also indicated a problem.

5) I manually turned Both the Norton Firewall and the Norton Antivirus back on.

6) I noted the "Windows Security Center" red shield immediately went away.

7) I rebooted, and the red shield never came back.

I use this laptop for video capture. To prevent a background virus scan from occuring during a capture, I disconnect all network connections, and disable Norton firewall and Antivirus, selecting the "Until next Reboot" option. I do my captures, and reboot the computer when I am done.

Apparently, "Norton Security Suite" and "Windows Security Center" can get their signals crossed. By actually disabling then later re-enabling the Norton Firewall and Antivirus, they got back in sync.

How do you remove the virus psw.banker.6.bc?

I had this virus in my computer, I have tried several antiviruses and anti Adware programs, they found iehndl.dll and they was able to delete it. BUT after a while, this dll was at the same place C:\Windows. I have mentioned that there are big number of tmp files in c:\Windows and when I was deleting these files, one of them was locked. So, i booted to the SAFE MODE with MSDOS (I have got MSWin XPPro) and manually deleted all tmp files by:

cd \windows

dir *.tmp (only for checking num of files)

del *.tmp

dir *.tmp(only for checking num of files)

Of course, I did a lot of cleaning by antiviruses and I manually deleted a lot of objects, but only after deleting this tmp files this virus stopped bothering me ( because antivirus software showed a window to ask me what to do with dll every time I was typing anything). So, good luck, because after two days it was there again, but after deleting tmp it was ok (for a while :-).

Answer

First of all shut down your "System Restore" option completely in

Then Restart your system and then try to remove your virus again, but this time remove it completely from Quarantine too; and then Scan your whole computer, by any new updated Anti virus Software. [I use Kaspersky]. Then restart again after completing the scan. Maybe this trick can help you.
