Last Friday, experts warned that the use of a Symantec enterprise anti-virus software in a known security flaws of the worm has spread on the Internet.
be eEyeDigitalSecurity known as the BigYellow of the worm can become a defective computer to be controlled remotely, zombies.
This is the second use of disclosure has been six months of SymantecClientSecurity and SymantecAntiVirusCorporateEdition a security flaw in the malicious code. Symantec released in May on a software patch.
eEye's chief technology officer Maifuleide said the new scanners will run botworm defective computer software, Symantec, and then it tried to infection. He said that the worm spread of a wide range of topics.
eEye has been tracking the worm to be used to download malicious part of the load of server, the server has more than 60,000 systems send data.
Symantec Security Response senior director Vincent said that Symantec had been aware of the existence of the new worm, but it does not think the issue is a serious threat. Only 3 customers find the worm, but Symantec's security sensor network background noise .
He said that technically, eEye is correct, there is a new botworm, but it is related to the impact of the worm with a misleading statement because we have not yet found the outbreak of large-scale activities.
last month, Spybot has a variant on the Internet. When installed on a PC when, Spybot and BigYellow system will open a back door, and one of the Internet chat rooms connected to the server so that hackers can remotely control the infected computer.

Symantec is not only an apology for compensation

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 07:18:44 +0000

The issue of compensation, I still can not answer. On May 17 and 18, due to the mix-up of the normal system of identification documents for the removal of viruses isolated, Norton anti-virus software updates to allow a conventional millions of users of computer systems face Disaster. The industry point out that if the incident took place in the United States or Japan, Symantec will be facing a price close to the huge amount of the claim. But so far, this time for manslaughter doors, Norton stated that only two, made no mention of compensation. Yesterday afternoon, the reporters on this link Symantec's public relations firm, is responsible for this matter, said Wang Xiaodong has not considered relevant. Symantec
no mention of compensation
Symantec has recently automated system was a change, which has inadvertently led to automated systems used in the definition of a simple change, which led to 2 files Error detection for malicious software. So far, Symantec Norton software for manslaughter incident released a statement two. The first statement from the evening of May 18, said the definition of false positives from the LiveUpdate error; for the second time a statement from the evening of May 20, reported the incident to update the virus definitions up-to-date source of progress. But in its statement, the two have no mention of compensation for loss of customers.
It is understood that the incident was due to Norton KB924270 updated netapi32.dll and lsasrv.dll false documents to the back door Backdoor.Haxdoor virus and their isolation and out. After investigation, lsasrv.dll and netapi32.dll is a normal system file, they will be isolated from the machine after the re-created can not be accessed, also can not start in safe mode, the system will try to enter the Blue Screen of Death.
because of the problem only exists in the Simplified Chinese version of WindowsXP operating system, experts pointed out that the simplified Chinese version of WindowsXP and has not suffered the impact of the stated compensation, to a certain extent, anti-virus software shows that foreign firms in China's domestic market Lightly.
antivirus vendors have a chance to snatch enterprise antivirus market has
industry analysis for Symantec as a ball of the security companies in China has nearly 40% of the share, for a number of industry users, such as finance, telecommunications, IT's Security plays a pivotal role in the manslaughter of them is bound to impact more in before the upgrade has not been a strict test for release, and only in the Chinese version of the XP system, and it seems to prove that they China's emphasis on non-users. This will give the domestic anti-virus vendor to provide an opportunity. Brbrbr It is understood that on May 18 Norton antivirus software mistakenly deleted Chinese XP system files caused by the collapse of the system, the domestic anti-virus software vendor Jiangmin, Rising, Kingsoft, and so has issued a warning , Norton said a serious misstatement. Yesterday afternoon, the odd tiger's announcement, said 360 security center devoted to the production of the U disk media for the restoration of the system tools for the collapse of the system has experienced users. According to the presentation, the user need only download dl.360safe.com/windowsfix.rar to USB disk system recovery , which is running the USBBoot.exe the production of documents restoration of a U disk, USB-ZIP, through your system, according to the prompts, Finally, restart the system to repair faults.
similar incidents of domestic anti-virus software manslaughter again and again
Norton manslaughter XP files led to the collapse of the system is not the case, the reporter said in the interview that Norton manslaughter in the incident on the same day, another foreign Kaspersky Anti-Virus software also Similar false accident — and is similar to Norton, Kaspersky 18 in the Windows system files shdocvw.dll miscarriage of justice for the virus, leading to a computer user to start after blue screen, can not see the normal desktop.
friends have reflected the morning of May 18, Kaspersky update the virus database, the computer will prompt some of the documents shdocvw.dll infected with the virus — Trojan. Win32.Agent.alz. shdocvw.dll is a Windows application to add the network to operate on the basis of documents and related modules, is an important system files, General delete does not allow. If forced to delete, will be unable to open the folder, IE browser, such as system failures, and mistakes.
At present, Kaspersky has passed to the Taiwan agents inform users: Kaspersky Anti-Virus software to delete the C: WINDOWSsys tem32shdocvw.dll not lead into the Windows system in Taiwan, the official website of the corresponding measures to solve.
It is said that the manslaughter Kaspersky also affected the mainland users, more users in the IT community for help, but Kaspersky has not yet made on the matter reflected in its official Web site did not find the relevant information and solutions .
In addition, on May 19, will Rising Kaspersky Kaka miscarriage of justice for the killing virus, can not lead a normal upgrade. Yesterday, officials in Kaspersky Internet statement on the matter, saying everything for the safety of users. Experts claim
facing many difficulties
both the Norton software manslaughter Windows system files, or Rising Kaspersky Kaka was defined as viral direct to delete it all so that we think of the previous anti-virus software with rogue software fierce fighting Period, before the virus and to fight anti-virus, anti-virus software and rogue war would evolve into systems with antivirus software and antivirus software to fight a war between? In this war , as ordinary users how we can protect their rights? Security Center
360 network security expert analysis, the previous misstatement of the antivirus software also occur from time to time, as the windows are often issued to a number of patches to constantly upgrade their software problems, these can not be completely avoided, technically , There is no anti-virus vendors to ensure that the technology is not false, not omitted. As a result, users in the use of anti-virus software at the same time, only to do a good job on a regular basis to back up data, in order to prevent unexpected incidents.
current and friends to raise the compensation for Symantec, the industry have said that is unlikely. From the legal proceedings, claims users will face a very tedious process, the difficulties of evidence, 'manslaughter' economic losses caused by the legal level, it is difficult to define and measure, these are the difficulties of such proceedings. Brbrbr thing / Pieces / chasing / ask three
asked Norton antivirus software
false misinformation spread to millions of Chinese computer users, anti-virus experts have been referred to as the past five years, the biggest false , however, is how to manslaughter in the end produced? Can be avoided? Whether the manslaughter of a similar incident may occur again? A series of problems have yet to answer.
is how the misinformation?
false anti-virus software is the most taboo things, is inevitable, but assured, the maximum is to avoid false positives. Kingsoft Anti-virus expert Dai Jian said that the false positives generated There are two main reasons: First, identify errors, the paper mistaken for the normal virus. For example, a network management software, a virus analyst to collect the documents, analysis of their existence unsafe behavior, it most likely will be found for the virus; Second, the virus feature extraction errors caused by misinformation. If the engineers in the characteristics of the virus extracted, as a result of negligence on the extraction of error. For example, the virus is generally used to prepare high-level language, if the negligence referred to the compilers of some of the features will be possible to use the language all the procedures for the virus to determine that the incident was false Norton will Winxpsp2 simplified Chinese version of NetSpi32. dll and LsaSrv.dll judged to be caused by the virus.
is emergency or potential long?
In fact, the problem of false positives in the anti-virus software from time to time, particularly in some foreign anti-virus software, as some of the operating mechanism, the probability of occurrence of false positives is higher than that of domestic anti-virus software. Norton
2001 years false positives Rising Antivirus 2002 version of the software with happy hour virus; 2006 Kaspersky Kingsoft false positives for the virus; the same year, QQ2006 false official version of the QQ and 2006 games for the Trojan virus; 2007 Kaspersky-year storm prompted the upgrade module is a Trojan horse, resulting in most of the users can not use the audio-visual storm; false positive trend in 2007 Lianzhong client for the virus, and so on.
false positives since the problem is not technical problems? Why do the same mistakes again? These were false and that the software is very popular with home users of the applications. What went wrong?
Kingsoft Anti-virus expert Dai Jian gives the answer, the major antivirus vendors usually keep the user from the Internet to gather in a large number of procedures and software, the most important of which is a variety of operating systems, a huge false Library, the library is usually a few hundred up to the G-capacity. Taiwan in more than 10 false dedicated server speed test to ensure that, when completed at the library virus testing. Antivirus software compared with domestic and foreign products on the Chinese software To collect enough false positives are not a comprehensive database. Brbrbr

Business Week: VeritasCEO analysis combined with Symantec

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:18:24 +0000

Lead: investors have doubts and misgivings, Veritas's CEOGaryBloom said the merger of Symantec and non-in cost compression , but to win a better future.
this year by the end of June, Veritas shareholders on the planned merger of Symantec and Veritas final
votes cast, the two company's executives have to convince investors, customers and partners the opportunity to left A. The latest is an opportunity to April 25 in San Francisco, held the annual General Assembly Veritas customers.
There is no doubt that Wall Street from this merger is still a negative opinion. Since last December the two sides announced the merger, Symantec's share price fell on more than 30% in the April 25, its shares closed at 19.07 U.S. dollars. At the same time, Veritas's stock price has fallen by 26%, so that the period when the market value of the acquisition of 13,000,000,000 U.S. dollars has shrunk to 94 million. April 25, Veritas shares closed at 20.68 U.S. dollars.
The merger is the second largest industry in the merger. Recently, BusinessWeek reporter in San Francisco on the Veritas conducted an interview with GaryBloom, when it comes to the shareholders of the acquisition of attitudes and related matters, the following is a summary of the interview:
Q: Since the merger in the industry made no answer, and you JohnThompson (Symantec's CEO) would continue to explain to investors the rationality of the merger. Why do you think Wall Street is still skeptical? Brbrbr: analysis of why they can not understand the obvious fact that this is not my own, nor is it JohnThompson duties. This issue to our employees, our customers and our partners to answer. Now, if people carry out the acquisition or merger, Wall Street is generally rely on income and profits to be measured. However, they still think that is wrong with the merger, which I will not be able to carry out the answer.
: investors view is that?
A: We have to convince that this merger and other merger is entirely different. Because we do not reduce the cost from the point of view to explain the deal, which is the industry's merger in the past and completely different. Investors had never seen before, so the two great software companies merge, the vast majority of software merger, the combined share of the market, such as the Oracle acquisition of PeopleSoft is the case. Or to suck up small or large companies with company mergers and bankruptcies. If some of the analysis of such merger, you would say: The two industry giants join hands, will create a better market in the future. If they are not technical experts, Wall Street will be very difficult to accurately assess the prospects for the deal.
Q: Thompson have made it clear that he would not let Wall Street that the company's strategy. When the shares referred to a 30% drop, when Symantec's stock price has dropped significantly, you do not need to listen to the views of shareholders do? Brbrbr A: We believe that our strategic and long-term shareholders for a long time . As a CEO, your job is not all day long for the next few months may have happened to worry about the company or pessimistic about the future? It is clear that in the long run, the deal is very promising. We are committed to providing customers more services and products, in order to bring more benefits to shareholders.
Q: EMC in the storage market, excellent performance, whether or not this merger will give you greater competitive pressure?
Answer: EMC to eliminate two of our major customers the impact of: Are we going to the end of the hardware and The joint companies, or to lose the status of independent software vendors? In the absence of hardware production, we are in the market very professional. If we were to buy Hewlett-Packard, we will have the task of hardware, and we and the merger of Symantec is a software merger, you will be able to dispel this fear. Second, we are strong enough to avoid the merger? My answer is never. We are the industry's fourth largest software company, and the integration of the companies may have been the target of the acquisition price.
: Veritas recent emergence of financial problems is how what's going on? whether the merger would have an impact?
A: I think this merger will not affect the products, financial problems are mainly related to the former leadership of the company, this is history The remaining issues. Currently, AOL is still subject to such financial problems. AOL from the company we bought for the price of 50,000,000 U.S. dollars of goods, and Veritas from AOL bought 20,000,000 U.S. dollars of advertising. This is a deal in 2000, this is not the most recent transaction.
the vast majority of people know that this is a historical problem, if you take a look at our management team, will find that the current team members do not have a financial problem, and a member of the board of directors in addition to all the other things re-adjusted.
Q: When you have to negotiate the merger, shareholders have heard of the protest?
A: I think they want to listen to our explanation of this transaction to pay, we have successfully resolved the shareholders of the appeal, which has become history . Our goal is to solve these problems out, it should not be taken to the company to Symantec.
Q: You and Thompson for what the management team?
A: I have the technical background to, and Thompson has a sales background. Very clear that he will be the CEO, the merger negotiations to determine the problem. I have, and Oracle's Larry – Ellison worked for many years, I think, Thompson will be a very good colleague.
Q: Generally speaking, small companies were acquired after the separation is very common, many people think that you would not think so, you have to see how?
A: There are no what to say, all need to wait until I Will help customers to obtain greater benefits, I will have influence within the company. I work at Oracle for 14 years, so I will not leave the new company, I have full confidence in the merger. (END)
