I've been dealing with koolynoody.net and contentmatch.net. I have Spybot S&D working at "Highest" Scan Priority, although I'm wondering if I shouldn't have stayed with Time Critical (blocks everything else). I have SpyBlaster working in the background. I have McAfee Security Center. I use SUPERSpyware v. #4.5, and for good measure, I use Comcast Spyware scan Powered by PestPatrol.
Of all the antivirus, Malware, Spyware, and Adware viruses that these anti-virus or antimalware, etc. have been able to stop, the only one that caught Koolynoody.net and contentmatch.net was Comcast Spyware scan Powered by PestPatrol (Yahoo, as does Comcast, provides the same application on their Toolbars free.)
Nonetheless, my point is that for the longest time, when PestPatrol caught contentmatch.net or koolynoody.net, which are Trojan Spyware and/or BHO's, it would delete one Koolynoody.net or Contentmatch.net, and that was it. One day, for reasons I can't remember, I decided to do a search myself on Windows XP registry. I found several installations of Koolynoody.net, when PestPatrol caught it, and, when PestPatrol caught Content.match, same-same.
Point, either my anti-virus application and Spy-Adware-virus applications missed these malicious viruses, or deleted only one installation. Damn "worms." Can anyone explain that? It seems to me that PestPatrol, being the only one to notice these virus, and the other anti-virus application it seems should be able to detect all the installations of a Trojan-worm (and many times a Trojans acts like a BHO, as I understand it) or what's the sense if a worm needs to be deleted several times and most anti-viruses, anti-malware delete only one installation. If there's several more, what do you think the other "worm" installations will do? PestPatrol, Spybot, McAfee, even Windows Live OneCare, are all missing these malicious virus, even if they detect it, they usually delete only one installation. Why? Damn "worms."
Respectfully,
Mordido
