whitepaper Emerging Trends in Fighting Spam26/03/08 Symantec
  Spam has been a serious problem for email administrators and users alike for more than five years, growing from one in six emails in 2002 to approximately three out of four emails today. In fact, after five years of dealing with spam and throwing significant resources at the problem, 54% of messaging decision-makers in mid-sized and large organizations still view spam as a serious or very serious problem according to a recent Osterman Research survey.  sponsored by
whitepaper Inside Spyware: A Guide to Finding, Removing and Preventing Online Pests2006-06-13 01:00:28 Jupitermedia
  Most computer users are aware of the dark side of the Internet. The online world brings issues of credit card and identity theft, junk mail and seedy content right into the homes and offices. But how many computer users are unwitting accomplices to such activities? EarthLink's SpyAudit program, which scanned 1,062,756 PCs, found 29.5 million instances of spyware, an average of nearly 28 spyware items per computer. How does this happen without one's knowledge? Together with programs called spyware, adware and viruses, trojans are a part of a group collectively known as "Malware" or "Pestware." While the majority of such programs are pests and nothing more, they have the potential to be quite nasty.   
whitepaper Hash-AV: Fast Virus Signature Scanning by Cache-Resident Filters2006-06-09 01:00:26 Stanford University
  Fast virus scanning is becoming increasingly important in today's Internet. While Moore's law continues to double CPU cycle speed, virus scanning applications fail to ride on the performance wave due to their frequent random memory accesses. This paper proposes Hash-AV, a virus scanning "Booster" technique that aims to take advantage of improvements in CPU performance. Using a set of hash functions and a bloom filter array that fits in CPU second-Level (L2) caches, Hash-AV determines the majority of "No-match" cases without accesses to main memory. The on-access scanner can examine input data at a throughput of over 200Mb/s, making it suitable for network-based virus scanning.

whitepaper How to Starve Internet Worms and Viruses2006-06-09 01:00:26 SANS Institute
  Security researchers and professionals bemoan the fact that users are not keeping their systems up-to-date with patches for known vulnerabilities. This webcast examines ways to get users patching their systems, including using the features of Windows XP SP2, such as the more visible Automatic Updates and Security Center, to raise awareness of patches. This webcast also serves as a call to arms for readers to evangelize software updates by writing an article of their own or installing SP2 for a friend.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Limited User Access: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Level 300)2006-06-09 01:00:26 Microsoft

The webcast also discusses how to deal with exceptions when users absolutely need to elevate their privileges temporarily.   
whitepaper A New Approach to Antispyware2006-06-09 01:00:26 Tenebril
  Today's powerful spyware can mutate to evade detection and constantly reinstall to avoid removal. Current anti-spyware solutions employ signature-and/or behavior-based technologies in hopes of fighting these destructive programs. But successfully combating this new generation of spyware requires an entirely new approach: Spyware Profiling. Increasingly, spyware authors are interested in criminal financial gain or corporate espionage. They're highly skilled, highly motivated. The spyware they create, such as hyper-mutating and custom-coded attacks, is far more difficult to detect and even harder to remove than yesterday's spyware.   
whitepaper Be a Responsible Computer Owner Get Spyware Removal Software!2006-06-09 01:00:26 LT International
  If one is going to own a computer and expect it to last any time at all, he or she will need to invest in anti-virus and/or anti-spyware. This does not mean that every free or trial version form can be downloaded that is available and expect to be protected. Part of being a responsible computer owner is to invest into the computer to make sure one stays safe. One does not want to spend all that money on a system to have a virus attack and crash the computer. Free programs are able to upgraded and don't protect against new or aggressive threats like paid versions do.   
whitepaper Viruses, Adware and Spyware: Oh No! - The Differences Between These Computer Foes2006-06-09 01:00:26 LT International
  There are so many malicious infections that a computer can get these days. Sometimes it is hard to figure out what each of them are and what they do. It can be mind boggling at all the different names for malware. There are computer viruses that must piggyback on top of another program to get into the system. The user will open an infected attachment that will not only attack the computer in some specified location but also send itself to everyone in the address book. The process of mailing itself out is its replication. Worms are very similar to viruses and in the same category as far as anti-virus programs are concerned.
