An issue has been identified that's causing extreme slow connections to the hpHosts network, affecting;hosts-file.netforum.hosts-file.netverify.hosts-file.net*.mysteryfcm.co.ukfspamlist.comforum.abelhadigital.comAmongst others. I've ruled out the majority of the internal hardware, and suspect an external issue (will be speaking to the ISP once I've ruled out the rest of the hardware).Apologies...

We all know that marketing depts will try almost every trick in the book to get people to take notice of their company and whatever products or services are on offer, but there are certain companies out there that need to get their acts together, as the type of marketing being used is highly misleading at best.Hot on the heels of CheckPoint's scareware, I came across an affiliate that was lead...

I received a rather strange e-mail earlier, quite obviously spam, but strange none the less.Why strange you ask?, well when an e-mail arrives and the subject contains the words "exclusive movies", it's usually going to be one of two things - fake meds, or malware. In this case however, there's a bunch of links to .rar files hosted at filesonic.com. The details of one of the e-mails (I've recei...

Zone Alarm has long been considered a good product to have on your PC by some (never liked it myself personally, but that's just me), so imagine everyones surprise when the developers of ZoneAlarm decide to use scareware tactics.There's been a rash of complaints on the Zone Alarm forums, amongst other places, concerning a dialog that's been popping up (see top left), with information about...

Before you read this, just an FYI folks, I know the hpHosts release is a little late, this is due to my being down the other end of the country between Tuesday 7th - Thursday 9th. I'm now expecting to have a release out by Thursday/Friday.Over the course of the last few weeks, our malware sandboxes have analyzed several interesting specimens with malicious activities that include the making of...

We've all got very old machines that we'd love to use, but sadly, they won't run newer versions of Windows and indeed, newer versions of some Linux distro's. Thankfully there's someone out there that has seen fit to work on a Linux based distribution for this very purpose (time to pick out my 486 hehe (did also have a Victor from 1981, but some idiot threw that out)).http://pupweb.org/wik...
