Go Figure, Dirty sites are dirty…
Symantec, the makers of a very widely used array of internet security programs, has compiled a list of the 100 “dirtiest” sites.
These statistics are determined by a combination of Symantec’s own crawler and input from their “Norton Community Watch” members. Below are some direct quotes from Symantec:
- Average number of threats per site on the Dirtiest Websites list is roughly 18,000, compared to 23 threats per site for all sites rated by Norton Safe Web
- 40 of the Top 100 Dirtiest Sites have more than 20,000 threats per site
- 48% of the Top 100 Dirtiest Web sites feature adult content
- 3/4 of the Top 100 Dirtiest Web sites have distributed malware for more than 6 months
- Viruses are the most common threat represented on the Dirtiest list, followed by Security Risks and Browser Exploits
For many years, internet users have always know that “adult” sites tend to be the biggest contributors to popup ads. Now they appear to be a clearing house for other irritants. With the amount of traffic that does tend to go to those sites, no judgment here by the way, they have the perfect vehicle.
Here is a partial list of the sites that made the top 100. Please avoid them if possible, or use extreme care if you have to go to them:

Flip 3D your Firefox Tabs
Looking at all the evidence presented to me, Firefox is making major strides in browser preference among web surfers. I know it is my browser of choice.
One of my favorite things are the addons. Some I like, other’s not so much. I found an addon that has been out for a while by the name of FoxTab. I have gotten used to the Flip 3d from Vista and absolutely rely on it. I like the way you can flip through the screenshots and select the exact window you wanted. FoxTab now gives me that feel with Firefox tabs.
Like most users, I tend to have 5–10 tabs opened at the minimum at any one time. With a RightClick and roll of the wheel, you have a customizable 3d Interface. From changing the color screen, to how many tiles, the layout. Anything to make it easier for you.
To me, this is one of those Addons you just say, “Thank You Lord”. With 5 stars and 610 great reviews, it seems like many people think that. Firefox users, do yourselves a favor and give it a try.

I Love this utility
One of my favorite websites to look at daily (ok many times a day) is Life Hacker. Today as I was going through some of their archived postings I found this.
A few days ago I talked about a program called smart installer, but I must say I am over the top impressed with life hacker’s version. The utility itself is ultra tiny (292k) with an xml file. The Smart Installer is in excess of 200 megs. The size difference is due to Smart installer having the installers included whereas life hacker’s installer automatically downloads the latest version from the net.
Another great feature, to me at least, is that the Life hacker Pack has an XML file that you can add or remove applications in. So if there is an app you like to install, modify the file in any text editor, get the download path, and away you go. With Smart Installer, you have to hope they add it.
Please don’t get me wrong, Smart installer is very good for a machine that you do not have on the internet. But for size and flexibility, I will be adding the Life Hacker pack to my arsenal. You can download the pack here

When is an antivirus really a virus?
Today I received a call from one of my external users that was unable to access any websites because some new antivirus was saying he was unprotected and every website had malicious code.
Since I know that we have McAfee 8.5 deployed to our users, I knew that this was not a McAfee issue. As we discussed it a little further he was mentioning that the Antivirus wanted him to purchase the software.
This isn’t the first I have heard of this. There is a software company Innovagest 2000 that is producing this software. They advertise it as an antispyware application, but it is the spyware. On some less then savory websites you will get a pop up that says that your computer maybe infected and they offer a free scan.
The fear of being infected motivates a lot of people to run this free scan. Unknown to them this application installs underneath and now you are stuck. On that note, I do recommend only doing the online scans from reputable sites. I personally recommend the following: Symantec, Panda, and McAfee.
This application is extremely hard to get rid of. It reregisters and installs if it is not completely uninstalled correctly.
I hate programs like this. But it is a fact of life out there. The modern day snake-oil salesman.
While the program is running you will see the following undesirable behavior:
- A “Windows Security Center” stating that you should purchase Personal Antivirus.
- Numerous alerts stating that your computer is under attack or that you have malware running on your computer. If you click on these alerts, Personal Antivirus will be installed, or you will be brought to the purchase page for the program.
- Your Internet Explorer browser will be hijacked to show security warnings when browsing the web that stop you from reaching your desired page.
As I mentioned before this bugger is very hard to get rid off. But not impossible. I found these instructions at BleepingComputer.com.

Adobe Acrobat/Reader Error
I have another error that has come from real world experience. I had a customer that was running Vista with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1 (fully updated) and Acrobat Reader 9.1 (fully updated) that was unable to open PDF’s from either email or a web page. Every time it was tried, the following error was generated:
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again
Even the system log gave such a cryptic error referencing an unknown faulting module.
I tried everything including: unchecking the open PDF in browser option in both Adobe programs, restoring Internet Explorer settings to default. I was going crazy.
On the verge of uninstalling and reinstalling both applications, which is never my favorite option, I opened the Reader and went to Help on the main toolbar and selected the “Repair Adobe Reader Installation”.
After that was completed no more error. I even tested by switching the default pdf application between Reader and Pro. No further issues.
By looking around I see this is a very common error with Reader 9. I hope this helps.
