I personally have both installed, but I use IE7. I keep a current copy of Firefox in case I need a backup browser.

Thanks

Bifrost blocked by AOL Spyware Protection

Aloha...

An AOL Spyware Protection window keeps popping up with a warning about the trojan Bifrost. I blocked it just now, after looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifrost_(trojan_horse) and the post at: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=21198&highlight=bifrost

It looks like the user had to run TotalScan before Katana could see that the computer was infected. Is that another program that we shouldn't use without supervision? Should I run it just in case?

I still need to read the info you gave me links to. My biggest question before giving this laptop back to my boss is what security programs I should set to run and which I should disable.

On my own laptop, I have ZoneAlarm (free), AVG (free), and Spybot S&D.

I was just now looking at the Services in MSConfig. I see that Remote Registry, Remote Access Manager, Remote Procedure call are running. Is that okay???

I'll do some of that reading you recommended.

Thanks, still...

You would have to show where this trojan is located according to aol. I know nothing about the program, do not allow aol on my computers.

I you have read the links from experts I provided, I do not believe you would be asking questions about what to run.

If you want to know what something is, use a search engine lnk google:
Example: Remote Registry

If you want to check for hidden malware, do this:

Run this online scan using Internet Explorer:
Kaspersky Online Scanner from http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Next Click on Launch Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

* The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
