whitepaper AVG: Protecting Your Computer From Tomorrow's Threats Today2009-04-02 AVG Technologies
  Security used to be a straightforward matter. E-mail was the primary attack vector and simply installing an anti-virus product and exercising caution when opening attachments mitigated the majority of threats. When a system did become infected, the consequences were not usually particularly dire; inconvenience and data loss were the most likely consequences. But times have changed. The Web has become the attack vector of choice and today's threats are rapidly evolving, stealthy and almost always motivated by profit. This white paper provides an overview of the current threat landscape and explains why current security solution is not enough. It also says that AVG internet security now provides unparalleled protection against the complete range of threats such as anti-virus and anti-spyware, heuristics, anti-rootkit, anti-spam, firewall, etc.

whitepaper Stealthy Video Capturer: A New Video-Based Spyware in 3G Smartphones2009-03-18 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper investigates video-based vulnerabilities in 3G Smartphones. Particularly, it designed a new video-based spyware, called Stealthy Video Capturer (SVC). SVC can secretly record video information for the third party, greatly compromising Smartphone users' privacy. It implemented the spyware and conduct extensive experiments on real world 3G Smartphones. Its experimental results show that the spyware can capture private video information with unremarkable power consumption, CPU and memory occupancy, hence being stealthy to Smartphone users. Moreover, SVC can naturally be resistant to almost all commercial anti-virus tools, like McAfee, Kaspersky and F-Secure mobile version.

whitepaper Free But Fake: Rogue Anti-Malware2009-02-25 Eset
  Most antivirus products are commercial and typically offer, as is the case with ESET solutions, free trial versions for a 30-day period. This limitation is the perfect excuse for criminals to recommend their "Free and magical" antivirus software which guarantees to solve problems that the user does not really have. These kinds of programs are called "Rogue Anti-Malware" or "Purportedly Protective Programs" and their creators want users to download them in order to infect their systems, while believing that they are protecting themselves. In many cases, a Social Engineering technique is used to trick the user into downloading a malware application in the belief that they will receive a product which is both desirable and free.

whitepaper Preparing for Tomorrow's Threat Today: What We Can Learn from the History of Malware and Defenses2009-02-10 Global Knowledge
  There is one given in the IT security realm and that is change. The challenges faced by security professionals a decade ago are much different than the challenges we face today. Yesterday's virus is today's custom malware, while denial of service attacks have been replaced with botnets. Many attack vectors of the 21st century are financial in nature. Current FBI estimates indicate that malicious software and attacks targeting identity theft cost American businesses and consumers more than $50 billion a year. This white paper provides a history of earlier attacks and defenses, and points out the directions security professionals need to look to tomorrow.
