In a precedent-setting case for the Internet security industry, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week that Kaspersky Lab is entitled to immunity under the safe harbor provision of the Communications Decency Act from a suit claiming that its software interfered with the use of downloadable programs by customers of Zango.

The court ruled that Kaspersky Lab, which classified online media company Zango’s software as malware and “protected” users from it accordingly, could not be held liable for any actions it took to manufacture and distribute the technical means to restrict Zango software’s access to others, as Kaspersky Lab deemed it “objectionable material.”

Zango sued Kaspersky Lab to force the company to reclassify Zango’s programs as nonthreatening and to prevent Kaspersky Lab’s security software from blocking Zango’s potentially undesirable programs. In a landmark ruling for the anti-malware industry, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court ruling that Kaspersky Lab is a provider of an “interactive computer service” as defined in the Communications Decency Act of 1996.

The court decision stated: “Kaspersky contends that Zango’s software is adware, and possibly spyware. Spyware, which is often installed on a computer without the user’s knowledge or consent, covertly monitors the user’s activities and exposes the user to the risk that his or her passwords and confidential information may be stolen… As its software qualifies, Kaspersky is entitled to Good Samaritan immunity.”

Botnet owners Unite!

Opera has introduced a new feature called “Unite” that will allow users to turn their browsers into servers. It’s a concept that might be as well-thought-out as sending customers on a hike in a safari park with backpacks full of raw meat.

Orbasoft Antispyware was the answer to my computer bug problems and it was certainly worth every penny I spent to have this great antispyware to protect my PC. Not only does it work great but it cost less than many of the other scans available.

When you are searching for antispyware there is one that you can always depend on, it’s called Orbasoft Antispyware. The antispyware solution from Orbasoft can provide you with a scan that can find and clear your computer of all the same bugs that the more expensive scans can a much lower price. You can’t beat that, keep your computer running great for less. Visit their site at…

etc

I tried the free trial version on a virtual machine.

The first update did not complete. The second attempt was successful, ran a scan. Both the short and the long one produced the same results.

Any security program can and does produce false positives but this program flagged way too many items as “threats”.

Meanwhile AntiVir detected a bad file I had saved.

Half of Vaserv’s customers signed up for unmanaged service, which doesn’t include data backup.

Log updates from Vaserv technicians as they worked to recover the lost data.

We have worked tirelessly through the night and over the last 48 hours to recover as many VPS as possible. However, we have now reached the end of all of our servers, and as such, if your server is not currently up, or not partly up (i.e. it is up but not working due to a configuration issue) then it is unfortunate that you will have lost your data due to this third party attack.
