Guide to Latest Anti-Virus

Who would ever think that Symantec and Trend Micro, two of the most well renowned anti-virus companies are having problems in terms of their security’s vulnerability? Symantec discovered that their Decomposer engine actually has flaws and it affects some of their products such as Microsoft Exchange, Mail Security and their anti-virus for storages attached to networks. This said vulnerability was discovered when they tried to process a RAR file and it was able to penetrate the system. They were fast enough to act anyway, releasing a statement for system administrators to update their security softwares and explaining how they’re going to do it.

If you think your computer’s already safe because you’ve got the most expensive anti-virus on the planet, better think twice. These anti-viruses have flaws too, and due to the proliferation of computer viruses online, some of them take days to add the virus to their virus vaults. Another is that, most virus makers are just smarter than these anti-virus companies. The latest in the anti-virus world is that, virus authors now encrypt the virus inside a RAR file. As we all know, files with RAR extension are supposed to be extracted. It has the same purpose as the Winzip, however, RAR files can bypass anti-viruses.

When mom bought my iPod a year ago, I was surprised that the brand new iPod came with something else: a virus. I cannot call it a bargain since I did not benefit from the “freebie” (the virus) my iPod gave me. However, a thought dawned on me: how can an iPod, one of Mac’s products, be infected by a virus? I searched on the internet and true enough, I was able to read a news stub about the iPods released some time in 2006 had viruses attached to them. Perhaps Macintosh used Windows operating system to program the iPod? I don’t know. All I know is that both operating systems do have different platforms (so a Windows virus should not be inside a Mac product!).
