Malware are getting smarter by 80%

Friday, July 21, 2006

According to a research by Australian Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT), most of the anti-viruses miss new malwares. The shocking part is that the percentage is not small, it is whooping 80%!

Now, this does'nt mean that anti-virus softwares are of no use, it is just that the mailicious code makers are getting smarter everyday and now they have started to develop the BAD CODE and before releasing it they test it against the anti-viruses and make sure that the CODE gets a clean chit from the anti-virus.

The 80% mark is certainly alarming and as I've told in my earlier posts related to security you'll need to take some extra steps to get rid of the BAD piece of software.

Here are some of the steps which you can take to beat those 80% malware :

* Great free protection for your PC!
* Triple Protect your PC.
* Free way of keeping your computer safe!

Apart from that, you can also use less popular anti-virus software but making sure that it is awarded by VB 100% (To check that you can visit the homepage of the antivirus, if an antivirus software is awarded, they'll definitely display it on their website.)
