Spy-The-Spy

In good old days viruses used to be simple. They attached to your exe files and when you were taking Coffee break they deleted your data, formatted disk or make your keyboard stutter. Nasty, yes, but ultimately preventable. There wasn`t real benefit for the virus creator to make the virus except Kudos from his peers (unless he was also selling anti-virus software). Then came internet and everything changed overnight. Including viruses. Deleting files or hard drive become way too uncool. New viruses installs backdors to get access to your computer, use your computer for Denial of Service attacks or try to get passwords to your banking accounts. But that is not enough. Since they mutate relatively slowly a good anti-virus software can still catch them in most cases. A new type of virus that is not exactly a virus was needed: Spyware, Adware, Parasites, Hijackers, Dialers and whatever else. When Spy-The-Spy is running it simply monitors system Folders for any new exe`s or dll`s being added or renamed: For example Windows and System32 folder is the main Harbour for these bugs, but also Program Files or Documents and Settings. QuarantineYou have the option to add selected files to Quarantine. It will brute force kill the processes quickly one after another to avoid watchdogs and MOVE the exe file to a Quarantine folder. System File CheckAdditionally a button for SFC was added. This will run Windows Protection that checks all system files for changes and it will copy them from Windows CD if they are different.
