HI Raymond,
Thanx for this post! When i think about security, i wish to say that, in most cases, if we plug-in a Pendrive, if there is any virus inside, it’ll automatically spread to all drives. There is a tiny tool ( net-studio.org
Hey Raymond, is this useful?

It looks pretty good as usual with your finds Raymond.
I like the idea of \’Do not distribute the sample\’ so I can disable it. I want the sample to be distributed to the anti virus companies in the hope that they will all get better at detection and in the very optimistic hope they will work more closely even if merely to the extent of calling each virus/malware etc the same thing. I.e. you upload a file which you know will probably generate false positives just in case to say Virus total and get six positives each with different names and none of which you can find a decent description of as well as some clean results. So you are no further forward.

I do not buy into the idea that \’only\’ malware developers were using it, for a start their would be no behavioural analysis, that would best be done on a virtual machines and cannot be done online. Secondly most AV companies offer Demos and/or Online scan\’s anyway. – It sound more like the AV companies are too concerned about protecting their trade secrets and work together as little as possible. I find this really idiotic as most non IT literate people (who form the majority) do not buy AV software based on rational reasons. At work we use AVG (reason unknown – cheap probably), my girlfriend uses Panda because it came with her laptop and she renewed the licence as it had not found any viruses ;) and a friend who is an IT professional bought Norton for his own machine because he \’had heard of it\’. I use Kaspersky because I researched it and believe it to be the best (for me), Esset Nod 32 came a close second.

p.s. Obviously do not distribute this sample is sensible if the file is confidential, otherwise the more the AV companies get the better.
