Netdrvr Ext W32 Spybot Worm
Those looking for “Netdrvr Ext W32 Spybot Worm”
You typed “Netdrvr Ext” Did you mean “netdrvr.exe”?
If you meant “netdrvr.exe” then you definitely have malware. More than likely you have a virus running in a critical system folder of Windows: C:\Windows\System32\netdrvr.exe. This virus looks like it might be a device driver (Network DRV) but it is like a cancer to your system resources and privacy.
This virus can be removed with free tools such as Adaware, HijackThis or Microsoft’s Autoruns (recommended).

Monster.com Hacked?
Yesterday, we analyzed a sample of a new Trojan, called Infostealer.Monstres, which was attempting to access the online recruitment Web site, Monster.com. It was also uploading data to a remote server. When we accessed this remote server, we found over 1.6 million entries with personal information belonging to several hundred thousand people. We were very surprised that this low profile Trojan could have attacked so many people, so we decided to investigate how the data could have been obtained.

task manager disabled
I get this from malware from time to time. One of the best ways to find and destroy some of the weaker virus, trojans and worms is to Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to Task Manager. Malware writers know this so they write a script to disable the Task Manager.Here is how to enable task manager
Disable Task Manager and possible Malware:
The easiest way to enable the Task Manager and get rid of most malware is to perform a Windows System Restore. Please note that this does not get rid of really ugly malware such as Rootkits and some trojans, but it will work on most lame malware.
Get to System Restore (via Safe Mode):
1)Â Reboot in Safe mode: Restart system, hit F8, select “Safe Mode”
2)Â Proceed in Safemode: When prompted (as in the picture above) Select “NO”
3)Â Restore Wizard: Select a date prior to when you recieved the malware (system restore does not delete newly downloaded files, only new changes in the registry… including “task manager disable”)
Restoring to a past restore point
- Click Start.
- Select All Programs.
- Select Accessories.
- Select System Tools.
- Select System Restore.
- Select Restore my computer to an earlier time.
- Click the Next button.
- Select a Restore point from the calendar by clicking a bold date and then selecting a Restore point.
- Click the Next button.
- Confirm the Restore point and click the Next button.

Free Security Tools
Need a proxy for surfing anonymously? Need email privacy?
How about a free firewall?Here are a bunch of free security tools you can use.
The Internet is full of legitamate free tools created by people who don’t care about making money or make money with donations and endorsements. Majorgeeks is my favorite place to get anti malware, anti spam, anti spyware tools. You don’t want to go to just ANY site and start downloading software. Not all sites can be trusted. One of the main ways that malicious hackers get in your system is by putting out free stuff loaded with malware. Malware can be put in pictures, music, movies, and of course software.
Make sure you only download from trusted locations.

First mobile phone virus nears 2nd birthday
The first real mobile phone virus, which was found in the wild and could replicate on its own, was discovered almost two years ago. F-Secure's chief research officer Mikko Hyppnen reports that although there are now over 200 mobile phone viruses — many of which are variants of Cabir — the problem is unlikely to get as bad as it has with PCs.
