pc antivirus with avg

12.4: proj.addn/xpw/security/avg:

. look at avg free antivirus:

has download time cutoff issues;

... but softpedia.com points out that's just ms`ie: try firefox

[later I'd learn that you download a downloader]

web.addn/xpw/security.ware:

Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus 9.0.0.415

A file change monitor. Used with BlackICE Defender.

FileWatch (originally called ICEWatch 1.x)

can monitor a given file for changes.

Monitoring can detect file size changes or simply file writes,

both with minimal impact on system resources (no polling is performed).

The primary use of this utility is for monitoring

changes in the log file of a personal firewall program

and being able to spawn a separate application

when changes are detected,

but the tool can be applied to any number of other uses.

12.17: mis.addn/xpw/busy overnight with script:

. xpw is very busy with fan blaring

after seamonkey has found a script that won't quit?

and yesterday it kept thrashing?

re-login to flush things .

mis.addn/xpw/thrashing:

. get more fields in view that might be related to thrashing,

and give some idea if some app has a mem leak .

12.18: mis.xpw/Exploit Rogue scanner attacker:

. agv complains accessed file is infected:

antivirusguard22.com/1/img/listfile.js

threat name:Exploit Rogue scanner (type 961),

find out more: http://free.avg.com/us-en/virus-encyclopedia

. it wouldn't let me close the popup alert,

I used the close button, but after I did that it started scanning

until I closed the parent window .

. anyway,

there's the reason I don't have my password.file on this!

you have to be smarter than foggy headded about

whether all your browsers on every system have noscript

and whatever else ... .

. don't I have noscript on seamonkey?

maybe that was just mac, do it now .

. seamonkey did not record where it was coming

from with that rogue page .

[... not sure how I lost it; found history page later]

12.19: mis.addn/xpw/low v.mem with much page faulting:

. why is mem furiously page flipping right now?

I must have a virus;

see what is doing mem io and kill it: file explore? close;

seamonkey? kill process tree .

41: restart,

on the way out it said my v'mem was low,

so maybe things were just flipping because of a leak,

and the wild disk activity was gc

which it might do when it sees I have done much in a while

(mostly staring at the editor ) .

mis.addn/xpw.seamonkey/confused about history:

12.20:

. I did find history

and the link was found with the bad redirect:

http://antivirusguard22.com/1/?sess=%3DGG39jDwMS01MSZpcD03Mi4yMDAuMTI3LjE0NCZ0aW1lPTEyNjYxMgkMMQkN

. trying the newscientist.com site again,

http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2009/12/how-complexity-rules-our-lives.php

and this time the redirect was to

http://fast-scan37.com/1/?sess=%3DGGz9jDwMS01MSZpcD03Mi4yMDAuMTI3LjE0NCZ0aW1lPTEyNjYzMcgMMQkM

I again got another avg alert, again for

Threat name: Exploit Rogue scanner (type 992),

and it said threat was blocked .

. so then I searched the site for the original page:

http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2009/12/

how-complexity-rules-our-lives.php

seems to have something to do with

new-count.cn counting how many times you been there?

going to it again didn't result in a new redirect .

12.21:

. can't find any mention of the site;

whois claims it's available .

. might be some trick in the spelling of the name

or in some other way affects the say browser records the link ?
