- September 25, 2006, 07:00:11 PMI just read some stuff about Symantec's Zero-day protection suite.
I have one stupid question- What does the term " zero day" mean?
It sounds like the day the world will end or somethning.

Copied and pasted below.
Keep your computer safe from the New Internet Explorer zero-day attack
Protection Update
As of September 18, 2006, Symantec Security Response is advising users to take extra precautions if they use any version of Microsoft Internet Explorer as a result of a new zero-day attack against the application.The attack leverages a previously unknown vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer. This vulnerability is due to the way Internet Explorer handles Vector Markup Language (VML).
Currently, the vulnerabilities are being hosted primarily on adult and ****ographic websites and used to attack users visiting those sites to install spyware onto the victim's machine. It is important to note that although the attacks appear primarily on adult sites at the moment, it is possible that they may spread to other more mainstream websites on the internet. The spyware may include a variety of security risks such as keyloggers that will monitor the keystrokes in an attempt to steal financial and confidential information.
There are no patches available from Microsoft for the vulnerability at this point.
Symantec Security Response has analyzed the threat and has provided protection for it via LiveUpdate and Intelligent Update. The current Trojan that leverages the zero-day vulnerability to attack is detected as Trojan.Vimalov. Symantec Security Response is also releasing intrusion protection (IPS) signatures to proactively protect customers against attempts to exploit the Internet Explorer vulnerability itself.
Next Steps?
If you are a current Symantec Customer running Norton AntiVirus or Norton Internet Security and regularly run LiveUpdate™, you are protected from this threat and its varients.
If you are unaware of the security status of your PC, please take one of the following actions:
What action can be taken from here?
Run LiveUpdate™
Virus Definitions are available via the LiveUpdate or the Security Response Website.

- September 20, 2006, 06:22:07 AMSpammers pose as chain mail researchers to harvest e-mail addresses. Sophos has warned computer users to think before forwarding chain letters after discovering a new scam being used by spammers to collect e-mail addresses. A spammed e-mail campaign poses as a research project into chain mail and joke messages that are frequently sent between e-mail users around the world. Chain letters and jokes can easily be sent to a person's full contact list or an entire company department, ending up with valid e-mail addresses for everyone who received the message in the body of the message. The new spam campaign asks for chain letters to be forwarded to the spammers (who are posing as a researcher called Gemma). However, Sophos warns that rather than conducting a study of chain letters, the recipients are actually planning to gather innocent peoples' contact details for the purposes of spam and identity theft.

Troj/Dloadr-AMJ is a dangerous Trojan that was recently spammed out as a spoofed message asking users to open a photo in a zipped document. Once opened, the Trojan opens a backdoor that remote hackers can use to take over the computer. Once taken over, hackers can use the computer to send spam and host spyware. Remote hackers can also install key loggers and screen scrapers onto the infected PC to steal personal, confidential and financial information without the user's knowledge.
hopefully people know by now never to open an attachment on your computer unless you know who its from!! thanks for the updates homer!! :)
