Im sure when you hear about cleaning the cache I bet you are thinking they went to some bad websites and are trying to destroy the evidence but thats not what this is about. (If you thought this was about hiding evidence you better post in another question).\n\nThe IRS which my grandma used to work at told me that all the workers had to clean out their cache several times a day for a secure system. Theres a vunerability that seems to be in all Microsoft products. So thats how could a secure server be attacked by a hacker is through the cache.\n\nMy question is is the cache vunerable and the reason why secure systems get attacked by viruses?

I think so too that the cache is one of the reasons why computers go down.\n\nand why would the IRS spend their prefectly good time cleaning caches if it were not important.\n\nThat could explain why even secure servers can be brought down by the hackers.\n\nI quote "Theres never a totally 100% secure system"\n\nThats true because we keep securing and they keep attacking, exploiting, and destroying pcs.

It has emerged in the past few days that the Microsoft update site runs on Linux servers! Totally true. There have been a few red faces - MS is basically admitting that Linux server technology is better than their own.\n\nDC :)

Someone is doing it and they are profitting by it. I had a message that my computer may have been 'infected' and that I should download 'X' companys' anti-spy and anti virusware. Turned out they were the 'infector' to get you to buy their program right then or your system would crash. Turns out they are being investigated for fraud by IRS, FCC, etc.  Seems lots of people lost their money and personal indentification information to this SCAM.  Luckily I was able to get them OFF my computer - took some time but it worked.  If it happens to you - BEWARE !! It will automatically install if you don't stop it  !!

Its really not a good idea because its so out of date.\nAll of the anti virus updates are added as fixes. To see what that looks like install Ccleaner and check out the list of updates and hotfixes tagged on to Windows.\nThese all load one by one after the program loads and that increases the time it takes to load and startup the pc.\nNewer versions have all the updates integrated into the program.\n\nThere are decent freeware security programs you can use, they are only free for home users. Business users have to pay. (its probably tax deductable for them.)\nTheres a full list of freeware on my blog but 2 good ones are AVG 7.5 and Avast.\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/  -AVG anti virus or\nhttp://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus

First go to windows.com and have a dianogstic done and see if you have all you security upgrades...also go to limewire and borrow from someone else a computer forensics program that will be able to tell you all breaching and attempted breaching activity...last but not least create a safety restore point...a period in time prior to its acting up and restore to that date. If you do the system restore you will loose no data. Also check and see if you have a pop up blocker and make sure it is enabled cause if not some of the extra sites in history could be from that. Hope this all helps some.

It's a problem in server-to-authentication server communications on the Kerberos protocol used (for instance) by Windows 2000, etc.\nMaybe because of a missing or outdated external trust (domain to domain) relationship.

intrigued by your question, i added it to my watchlist.. and a minute later, i found something hat mght interest you..\n\nthe following question was asked..\n \n\nGeneral - Computers & Internet \n\nkayla p\n\n\nDoes anyone know any sites to get around bloaked sites at school like myspace?\ni need help my school blocked myspace and i really wanna get on it does anyone know of any sites to get passed it? \n\nand the following answer was given..\n\ndwightl.g.\n\n\n ★★ BYPASSING SECURITY ★★\n\n◙ You should stop trying to bypass security right now. They are listening in on this conversation with a key logger program that records everyone of your keystrokes. This key logger can email them a report if they are away from work.\n\n◙ Do you think I'm kidding you? Here they are....\n\n☞ http://www.google.com/search?q=key+logge...\n\n◙ PRAY they aren't using this mean little bugger. It is impossible to get past. It's what the US Military and US Inteligence services use. It not only stops you from going to certain sites but also records everyone of your key strokes. They can even get screen shots to see what the screen looks like while you are looking at it. It makes no recognizable files on your hard drive so you can't find or delete it. I'm sure glad I don't have to put up with that. :(\n\n☞ WebWatcher http://www.awarenesstech.com/general/?si...\n\n☞ WebWatcher For Kids http://www.webwatcherkids.com/

It is not going to be the security cure all that Microsoft claims.\n\nWindows Vista is set up to allow only digitally-signed code into the kernel. Will this stump attackers? Maybe not. At Black Hat Las Vegas in August 2006, security researcher Joanna Rutkowska introduced stealth malware, code-named Blue Pill, that allowed her to root Vista by placing it (unwittingly) into a virtual environment, subject to a hypervisor.\n\nI would wait and see.

Hi,\n\nUnfortunately I can only see this getting worse for people using the current popular pc security products (Norton, McAfee, AVG, Lavasoft, etc).  There has recently been a severe outbreak of a new type of malware that is constantly evolving and leading security vendors are struggling to deal with.\n\nI've been using a relatively new product called Prevx1 for the last 9 months now and have not been infected by a single piece of malware since.  This is because they use a completely new method of protection compared to other security products that is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware than all leading security vendors.\n\nI would strongly recommend you give this program a try if you wish to stop being infected.  They are currently offering a 28 Day Free Trial of their product which you can read more infomation about and/or download here:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

I JUST went through this last week, no kidding! I had to go to AVG and download 7.5, and it took care of it right away! It was a huge pain in the butt, but it worked. I also made sure my Microsoft security software was updated, because apparently this virus was new and the software didn't recognize it. Good luck!

You need to clean out your cache and history files, cleaning the cookies would'nt hurt either.

It's already happened, remember something called the "I love you" virus? That's why you should never open any emails from someone you don't know. As long as viruses and worms are created, there will be something or someone to combat them, software keeps getting updated for this reason. Viruses and worms have a specific purpose, whether to get you to buy more crap, or just plain steal your information, or hijack your computer for their needs, the really bad viruses and worms are mostly gone. There were some horrible viruses near the start of the Internet, that actually did some unheard of things that couldn't happen today. I forget the name of the virus, but it would fry some of the components inside the computer on purpose, another shut down networks of major companies to cause havoc. A virus would never be uncleanable either, you could always format a hard drive and start fresh.
