auto updates

This has been out for a while.... your best protection against stuff like this is to run windows update once a week or more.... if it is not on auto.

....

I thought my computer was set for autmatic updates...but then what I know about computers wouldn't fill a shot glass.

Here is a screen grab from my computer Firefox 3, AVG Free,

Getting the same screen with every page on my laptop. I can not believe that Snowest will not even acknowledge that there is a problem. Sad. Could it be that Snowest just doesn't care??

Google is flagging it too, do any Google search with "snowest" in it and you get the following message.

Of course if the search engine here didn't S U C K so bad and you could actually use it to search for items like 151, RMK, 700, RX!, etc., I wouldn't have to search the forum using a 3rd party anyway.

Oh, Kaspersky has kept my 'puter clean.

I must be either lucky or Vista is taking care of itself. I'm here daily and I have yet to have a warning, a problem, or anything indicating this. Not doubting it's there, just odd that I'm not affected.

For what ever reason, I only get a threat about every three or four days, not everyday. My I.T. person said not to run the updates for a while as this was a back door virus and updating would fire it up again. She says it will take microsoft about a month to figure out a patch for it. Knock on wood my updated AVG has been picking it up.

My best guess is they know, and they keep cleaning up the database, but they haven't found and plugged all the holes yet. Until every hole is plugged, the db will keep getting re-infected.

One of my really, really old websites that I had stopped thinking about years ago, got hit with the same stuff. I wrote a script to clean the database, but I was baffled that it was right back to infected minutes later. Each time I ran the script, it came back. It wasn't until I went through EVERY file of code and made sure I had the proper "traps" in place, was I finally able to keep the db clean.

It's not a specific site or person that's doing this; these are regular people's computers all over the world, that are infected with a virus, that is performing these attacks. I've been logging the IP addresses of the attacks on my various websites, and when I trace them back to their owner, they're from various ISPs all over the place.
