behavioral nonsense

Just whitelist what can be run - anything else is forbidden.
Also, any OS-critical point (registry anyone ?) needs authorization to modify.
Oh, darn it. There goes the installation procedure of 99.9% of all the crap you can download.

Reliability matters

There's a lot of anti-spyware software that claims to fight effectively various kinds of spy programs, but very few are really. A friend of mine is very careful about security, he's constantly googling in search of some protecting tools, he does not recommend anything new and unknown, as ussually install an anti-virus, a firewall and some anti-spyware, but he says it's preferable to have a specialized anti-keylogging program as keyloggers are often difficult to deal with and they may cause a lot of trouble. He tests different programs and also agrees that programs using heuristic principles are more efective than those signature-based and adds that he managed to find a program, PrivacyKeyboard, which in his tests was not yet surpassed by some other anti-keylogger, I saw some of his experiments, decided to install it, seems to do well. I believe people who deal with sensitive information should really carefully choose protective means.

Perhaps a new word is in order too 'adticles'
Since so many sites now do them.

Re: Anti-Spyware?

Is there really someone stupid enough to say that only noobs need anti spyware. I suppose that statement is true if only noobs actually use their computer.

Choosing anti spyware software is no easy task

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
