Computer Goons Needed

Re:Computer Goons Needed
The biggest problem that is propagating the spyware is a hole in Micro$oft's version of the Java Virtual Machine that allows invisible "fly-by" installs. As suggested before, not using IE and switching to Firefox or Opera is your best bet if you're running windoze, but there are alot of sites that are poorly written and depend on IE. I have about 40 new workstations that I'm rolling out right now and what I did was completely remove the MS JVM and installed SUN's RJE. I tested all the Java apps/pages that my users need and it works great and doesn't have the gaping security holes that the MS versions do.
Another program I find usefull that no one has mentioned yet is BHODemon. It checks for Browser Helper Objects (the .dll's TekPhobia is looking for) and is backed by a constantly updated list to determine which are malicious and which are not.

Tim, are you saying I should see something in C: now? I got caught up on the phone, but I'm interested to get my homepage to stick and get these last pop ups out of here.

Provided you typed the command correctly, then yes, there will be a file in C:\. There ARE spaces in the command:
listdlls > c:\foo.txt
(there's a space after listdlls, and after >)

Just look in C:\windows\downloaded program files\ for some of the crap that's installed.

As of the time I created these Ghost images with IE 6 about 2 months ago, the MS JVM was installed with IE. I haven't downloaded any new copies of IE since then. When did they stop distributing it with IE?

Unles you're speaking of Javascript. Cause I know on any recent Windows installations, Java won't work until you get JRE from Sun.
