AVG update breaks iTunes

A recent AVG signature file update is incorrectly identifying iTunes/iPod files as viruses, as reported by forum users on the Apple website. The AVG Virus scanner identifies all iTunes/iPod related files as the 'Small.BOG' trojan - a trojan which does not seem to exist, as revealed by a quick Google search. The update, which is unidentified, but confirmed to be a false positive, is removing all files, and deleting them. Once these files have been "cleaned", iTunes will not run, and is not fixable by a reinstall. A fix has been pushed by AVG in the latest signature update - but users may need to reinstall iTunes. A fix can be found here on the Apple Forums.

Free AVG Anti-Virus Now Works on Vista Beta 2

Grisoft, the maker of the popular free antivirus software AVG has announced that Microsoft has fixed a bug that was preventing AVG from installing on Vista Beta 2. You need to get an update though.

Peter Cameron of Grisoft?s Australian distributor Avalanche Technology said Vista Beta 2 users should obtain the Microsoft patch via Windows Update. ?After application of the update, AVG products can be installed and used without any further problems or restrictions,? he said.

AVG Technologies buys web protection vendor

Security vendor AVG Technologies has acquired internet protection vendor Exploit Prevention Labs. AVG was acquired by anti-virus vendor Grisoft in August this year (CRN, 24 August), and the combined company was rebranded AVG Technologies.

Roger Thompson, co-founder and chief technology officer of Exploit Prevention Labs, said: “Exploit’s software blocks dangerous downloads on websites and addresses drive-by attacks. “AVG is leapfrogging the competition with its products at the moment and with 60m users in its client base. Exploit gets to put its software on millions of computers in a shorter time.”

AVG fixes antivirus software skewing Web site statistics

Security company AVG is upgrading a component of its antivirus software so as not to place an undue traffic load on the Web sites it scans. The company has already released a patch for LinkScanner, part of its Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0, and will release a patch for the paid versions of the software on Tuesday, said Lloyd Borrett, marketing manager for AVG in Australia and New Zealand.

The behavior of AVG's LinkScanner caused much animosity toward the Czech-based company, including a Web site dedicated to the issue, despite the popularity of its free security software. Web site owners complained LinkScanner was hitting their sites repeatedly, using up the bandwidth they paid for and causing their Web analytics programs to suddenly record high numbers of visitors. AVG acquired LinkScanner's maker, Exploit Prevention Labs, in December 2007.

AVG Anti-virus 7.5 Professional Released

After a short beta test, AVG have released a new version of their anti-virus product, here is an excerpt from their press release:

I couldn't actually find a changelog between 7.0 and 7.5 but as the above press release indicates they have released six new versions of AVG Anti-virus bringing it up to fifteen different varieties of product so if Vista product versions have you confused you better sit down.

I installed 7.5 Professional as I bought a licence as a fallback for Symantec making Norton more horrible than the previous incarnation, I just snapped. The interface in 7.5 is slightly different and has joined the 21st century, I haven't checked it out with Windows Vista yet (5728 will be checked) so will update this post with its progress as the 7.0 updater had issues with Vista, although seems to be fine if UAC is not active.

There is no estimated release date for the free version at the moment.

AVG cries wolf at Adobe Reader

A faulty signature update from GRISoft published this week meant that its popular AVG anti-virus package falsely warned versions of Adobe Reader were infected with a Trojan.



Reg reader Tulio received a false alarm that his system was infected by SHueur-JXW after he downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.09. GRISoft acknowledged the problem and said that it planned it issue a new update that fixed the problem on Thursday. Faulty anti-virus signature updates are far from rare. Symantec, McAfee and others have all had problems in the area in recent months. False alerts are something of an Achilles heel for anti-virus scanning packages, a factor often highlighted by firms selling alternative approaches to malware detection (such as white listing)

Report: little-known AV packages outdo those of Symantec, McAfee, Microsoft

Andreas Clementi, who runs the web site http://av-comparatives.org/>av -comparatives.org, has released his latest report that looks at how well antivirus programs do against threats that have not yet been identified and included in standard AV signatures.

The test looked at 17 different products, including offerings from Symantec, McAfee, AVG, Kaspersky, and Microsoft, and tested how well releases dated February 2 (with no updates) fared against a swath of new malwareviruses, scripts, trojans, and other nastiesthat were discovered between February 2 and May 2.

The winner of this antivirus sweepstakes was a product called http://www.avira.com/en/pages/ index.php>Avira, which managed to detect and defeat 71 percent of the unknown malware. Right behind it was the equally-obscure NOD32, which swept away 68 percent of the threats. The more well-known commercial products fared more poorly. Norton Antivirus and McAfee tied at a mere 24 percent, while Microsoft's OneCare did even worse by only identifying 18 percent of the new threats. Resting at the bottom of the barrel were Kaspersky and eScan at nine percent, and AVG, which detected only eight percent of malicious software in addition to producing many false positives...

Windows 7 beta download imminent?

Microsoft have updated their Windows 7 site with a download link for the Windows 7 beta. It would appear from the posting that Microsoft is currently readying site updates and download servers for the imminent release of the Windows 7 beta. Yesterday, German site Winfuture claimed that the beta would be released today and this could confirm the sites claims. The download link is currently inaccessible. It's entirely possible that once the page is live it will simply be a sign up page to register your interest. Microsoft will not comment on the exact date and a Microsoft official confirmed the beta is still targetted for early 2009.

The good news is that if you don't want to read others hands on impressions you can now download and install the OS yourself.
