18.09.2006Kaspersky: Vista Firewall Not Enough Alone
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, has released a new analytical article on using leak tests to evaluate
firewall effectiveness by Nikolay Grebennikov, deputy director of the Department of Innovative Technologies. According to Grebennikov, due to the
increase in the number of malicious programs, the additional security provided by a firewall is increasingly pertinent since firewalls block
undesirable network traffic. He states that even the latest operating systems, such as Windows Vista, cannot block all types of leaks on their own
(although, from Windows XP SP2 onwards, Windows has included a firewall. Firewall functionality was significantly expanded in Windows Vista).

told ZDNet.com.au yesterday. "They use cryptographic systems in the right way, they don't make mistakes — they are really

after sending the email. The attack was a SQL injection into the company's database, but was unable to extract any real data, because the hackers
were not advanced enough to. An obviously embarrassed Kaspersky, an anti-virus and Internet security software developer, was ashamed that their web
site was breached. The attack made an SQL injection on the newly launched US web site, which could ruin the company's reputation in the market of
Internet security.

hacker attacks and spam. PC Praxis is an authoritative German weekly magazine for advanced users and IT professionals that has a circulation of about
150 thousand. Although Kaspersky’s security products have trouble grabbing market share from competitors Symantec and McAfee, the

14.04.2006Kaspersky false alarm quarantines Windows Explorer
A faulty signature update from Kaspersky Lab on Wednesday flagged up Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) as infected with a low-risk virus, Huhk-C. As a
result the core Windows component was quarantined or worse.
Kaspersky released a revised update alongside advice on how to
recover legitimate system and application files from quarantine (the default setting) within two hours. But that's not much consolation for users
that had set their software to auto-delete infected files, who found themselves with hosed systems.
Among those affected was Reg
reader Carl. "A false positive caused the deletion of explorer.exe.," he reports. "It would have only caused problems for companies performing
their network scan during the hours that the dodgy update was present - which included me, unfortunately. I was working out of hours to fix the
previous Kaspersky update problem. I finally finished sorting it all at 5am.".

15.10.2009Kaspersky predicts Vista security holes
Antivirus experts from
Kaspersky Labs have predicted
that 90 percent of current
malware will run on
Microsoft's latest operating
system, Windows Vista.
Although at the moment Vista
appears to be more secure than
previous Windows operating
systems, Kaspersky researchers
warned last week that as Vista
becomes more popular, it will
increasingly become a target
for hackers.
"We're not asking whether
vulnerabilities will be found,
but when," said Alexander
Gostev, principal antivirus
researcher for Kaspersky.
According to Gostev, one of
the first pieces of the
operating system to be
attacked will be PatchGuard,
the code that protects the
Vista kernel.
"One
of the first things to be
targeted will be the
technology which is meant to
make getting access to the
kernel more difficult," said
Gostev. "Particularly because
there are already approaches
for evaluating this
technology."

02.10.2009Dutch police request Malware removal How-To?
The Dutch High Tech Crime Unit identified a large botnet when they arrested a 19 year old Dutch man last week. The Unit asked Kaspersky Lab, a leading
developer of secure content management solutions, to provide the victims with instructions on how to neutralize the malware on their systems;
neutralizing the malware ultimately brings down the botnet. This is an excellent example of the close co-operation which exists between the antivirus
industry and law enforcement.
At the request of the Dutch police, Kaspersky Lab created detailed instructions on how to remove the malware.
The Dutch police have pointed victims towards a page on the Kaspersky Lab website which contains the removal instructions, and also to a website which
gives victims the opportunity to make a formal complaint to the police. Eddy Willems, Security Evangelist with Kaspersky Lab Benelux, who worked
closely with the High Tech Crime Unit, believes this case clearly illustrates how the security industry can help law enforcement in the fight against
cybercrime. A spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service agrees: "The Public Prosecution Service and the police worked together with Kaspersky
Lab on this case with full contentment".
