comodo did not detect recycler virus ...
Hi deecrepit,
The topic here is "Rogue Antivirus". The infection you are referring to is different as far as I know, but in any case the it fits perfectly to what
Melih mentioned -
Prevention, which is correct.
One of the preventive measures regarding such types of infection is
disabling Autoruns completely through the system. All devices... USBs included. That is
must have layer of protection in addition to any other layers installed.
There are very good and detailed instructions how to disable Autoruns completely.
Recently MS fixed some bugs it that area too. There was a security patch a month or so ago.
In addition there is a Tool for immunizing flash sticks pen-drives & so on (flash disinfector). The prevention measure again.
The “convenience” of having auto-execution from devices has to be forgotten.
But what is interesting in this context - you did not mention what part of CIS as you think missed that. I may be wrong, but you should have the Alert from Defense+ in the first place.
Or you are saying that there was no Defense+ Alerts?
*** Added probably the discussion about that should be placed in a separate thread. Moderators will decide.
