- Too many AV vendors whitelisting these tools
-
We had a situation a couple of months ago where forensic traffic analysis picked up illicit activity even though our virus checkers weren't detecting anything. Turned out that the culprit program was being detected, but both our AV vendors had "whitelisted" the application as being a commercial product. Maybe it was, but it was still being used as malware against us. We protested to both the suppliers, and we will be dropping at least one of them with extreme prejudice in the next quarter.
This kind of behavior from the antivirus vendors is totally unacceptable. If a keylogger or other spyware package can be used maliciously, then we should have the option of configuring the AV tools to aid us, not the scumbag companies who sell this crap with the full knowledge that it will be used as malware. - Posted by: terry flores Posted on: 11/19/08 (Edited: 11/19/2008 @ 06:25) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
