Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 problem: while casually browsing the net and clicked on a search link to a site that contained a description pertaining to my question, my browser was taken to the new spyware guard site now called sg9, where the site appears to be your own computer explorer. then there is a fake scan performed, producing a fake alert citing dozens of infections found, then the site induces people to download their program. its also a contemptuous because people are led to believe that they cannot close the alert window and must install their program onto the disk. solution: people should avoid such sites or understand a couple of ways to protect themselves. --------- step 1: simply close their browser instead of clicking save, run or cancel. -------- step 2: input the urls below into your browser's restricted sites listing: http://sg9scanner.com/sg1/1/10128 http://sg9scanner.com to enter both urls above: open the browser>tools>options> security tab>restricted>add then enter the two links above and click the add button to complete. -------- step 3: users should modify their hosts file by adding the following entries to the current listing: 127.0.0.1 www.sg9scanner.com 127.0.0.1 sg9scanner.com to enter both url's above: open your computer browser and drill to down to> \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc next, right click on the "hosts.file" and open with notepad, then add the two lines above to the beginning or the end of the current listing. then save your new list as host.txt next, go back into the folder above and delete the original "hosts.file" next, right click on your "hosts.txt" file and rename it by deleting the ..txt extension. the above will simply replace the old hosts file with your new one step 4: afterwards reboot and enjoy a slightly safer browsing experience. ----------------------------------------------------------------- tags: spyware guard, spyware guard, sg9, hosts file, -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces Quote

I have not said that "windows boxes are secure", I've said that my computers running windows, by following standard security practices, being aware of threats, have not been compromised in the 30+ years I've been working with computers (and yes, I know that Windows wasn't available 30 years ago). So, the fact remains that a Windows XP box CAN be properly secured, that the network can easily be secured and protect the users/computer, and that people CAN use Windows without being compromised. Your lack of ability, comprehension, skill, and your complete bias and lie history proves that you don't know what you are talking about. -- - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address) Quote
