avast! Killer

[mhd]

Hi all

While I was surfing the net, I found this topic, its author claims that he developed a code that it can be integrated with any virus or Trojan to stop  avast! processes and attacks the system.

I tried to attach with this topic two versions of that code, the first is written for avast!. The second is written for Kaspersky. Unfortunately, the forum doesn’t accept exe files.

The original topic is in Arabic: http://umm.biz/index.php?showtopic=18066

This site is something like a trap, I think. See the message I received by my browser:

Agree. I recieved that note as well.  If he made a code that can stop avast!  why did he brag about it to the public?

Code that can stop avast! ? Wow he must be a real genious If people can kill Norton, then i really don't see why they couldn't avast!
I have researched this part long time ago. Actually when i started with AEC project.
Technically you can cripple any antivirus very easily, so crippling avast! is nothing special imo.

Jotti says its all clean.

Maybe alwil will want to put this in the virus database? 

Doesn't seem to work though

Hey guys. I'm not sure what the policy of the Avast! forum is concerning this kind of issues, but I for myself am not really fond of posting active links to malware here.
If you feel you must post issues like this, why not cripple the link so no accidental clicks are possible ?

I don't like this at all...

If he made a code that can stop avast!  why did he brag about it to the public?   

Because there was a challenge between him and another member in that forum.

Later, he announced another developed code that can stop avast!, I uploaded the files on my web space so you can check it on your systems, it doesn’t do any thing to your machine except shutting down avast!.

Hi folks,

I second Fasts opinion, no linking, not even deep linking to malware sites. We must protect our fellow posters, curiosity killed the cat says a good English saying. I think it is a brag really, a few alterations to a hosts file and I have killed whatever security program that links to me. Small hype. More interesting for us "What are the backgrounds, what's the way of infection, a  way to understand what happens, and most of all how to protect ourselves and others. The contents and mechanism of the vulnerability is interesting, not the working of it. Not the OMGF's (Oh My Grandfather's) but the OINFUW (Oh I Now Fully Understand Why).

Greets,

polonus

Hi all

I am glad to announce that avast! released a cure for that code. In spite it doesn't do any thing harmful for your machine (except it shuts down avast!), avast! alerts you about it.

Thank you avast for your fast respond.

This is now the advantage of ZA6 when I tried to run this (system restored, all spyware tools at the ready, yesterdays backup to hand) I got a pop up (dangerous actions) informing me that avastkiller was trying to shutdown ashserve.  So I said no way Jose (I think thats how you spell it).  ZA6 is now looking much better than I originally thought.  Live dangerously - I reformat every 6 months anyhow -

The new Zone Alarm 6 seem to cover avast!'s back now.
