MariusN Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Does anyone know what function a guy can use to monitor "auto load" exe's when opening a webpage? Thing is, there are so many viruses on Facebook, i was thinking of compiling a script that can run in the background, and as soon as a file wants to install itself, the program/script will "detect" it...Any ideas?

MariusN Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Its not for me..i'm 100% protected, but i would like to help some folks on FB as it seems that place is full of viruses. This way, they can at least "terminate" the virus if it wants to download...geez, it can save them mega bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hello. I think this very complicated thing monitoring drive by download etc. It dependns on vuln for ex: buffer overflow in client application or vulnerable plugin for ex. 1)Keep up2date your applications 2)I think easy way to protect self from such attacks using Sandboxie. So if you are using Sandboxie and say your browser vulnerable and exploitable- troyan,virii etc. can not infect your system.Because all threads staring from Sandboxie is virtual.
