[webproducers] Re: client project hours software

I agree with Dan.  I wanted to chime in here with a couple of additional
tools.  I recently had a bizarre problem and every scan kept coming up
clean.  I use various Pro versions of several softwares that I update and
scan with daily just in case, such as AdAware Pro, PestPatrol, Anti-virus,
etc).  

I finally found 2 specific programs which helped to track and eliminate the
critters.

1.)  HiJackThis: This is the program that helped me clean up stuff that the
aforementioned programs didn't find.
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/index.html

2.) Kiwi Syslog Daemon: This program logs and stores my UDP and TCP traffic.
The problem I had was someone was using my system through UDP protocols and
churning out 1000kbs of data streams in like NO time.  I don't even want to
know WHAT was truly being done, only that I wanted it stopped.  Now I have
this program that runs in the background and helped me verify the critters
were indeed gone.

Others I used were:
Spybot S&D - http://security.kolla.de
Bazooka Spyware Scanner - http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/

Once I ran all of these (hijackthis in particular) -- my UDP system attacks
stopped.

Hope this helps!

Apologies for being a bit off-topic, but with us relying on our systems for
our work, and as broadband expands -- it is truthfully an extremely relevant
topic to the list, right?

huh??

handango has been around for years
I just poked around the site to see if there was any activeX or javascript
hacks on it - so far I saw nothing - a couple of questions I might ask -
what browser, do you have any personal information saved on that browser
(ex. autofill). if not autofill data - then I suggest you download spybot
S&D from http://security.kolla.de, then also make sure your antivirus is up
to date.

and - PROTEST THE CHARGES
find out from you bank in person exactly when and from what company the
charges came from.
maybe its another autopayment that you've forgotten for something else - if
it's still from this site
I'm going to bet that handango has a direct number - lookup on whois (
http://www.whois.sc/ ) and find a number. call them and ask them to verify
your IP that the charge came from (assuming it was from them) and based on
all that - if they were the ones to charge you - if you got your personal
system hacked and they have seen CC info in the past - then they might have
followed you around saw you went to that site and found something they
wanted - but again - maybe it's just some recurring autopayment you have
that you didn't recognize - ultimately - go to you back in person and find
out what exactly that charge is - otherwise you'll just drive yourself nuts
- if you do find out that your system was hacked - feel free to email me
back offlist and I'll talk you through finding out what might be stealing
your info.
