'Flame' Virus ?


Recommended Posts

Any one know what Security programs will Block or Clean the 'Flame' virus?

I keep reading that it is Very complex and complicated malware,

but have not read anything about which, if any, security-programs will block it?

 

It seems to be only in middle-eastern countries now, which is very Strange?

But I'm worried that it might start 'Jumping over the Oceans'. :shock:

Since I visit several websites in the UK.

 

See link for more Info about Flame:

Okay, who do you think Did it? :?:

The IIS, MI-5 or CIA ? :?:

Or someone 'Completely Different' ? :?: :lol:

 

BTW - If a 'Spook' is monitoring this thread, Please let us know if we need to be Worried or Not ? :?: :lol:

'Flame

 

don't feel to good the Microsoft update is only

part effective in blocking flame ,

 

if you already have it on the system is not much use ,,

Hi ss101, welcome to IObit Forum! :grin:

 

Nice to hear that IObit is supplied the decrypted 'Flame' worm by you.

 

It is interesting to see that you are playing with fire, but you do not use any antivirus software. :shock:

 

Is it sandboxing, returnil, or similar software or are you using virtual OS?

 

Cheers.

I hope ss101 really Is a 'spook' monitoring this thread?

Everyone Needs a Guardian-Angle. :-D

If so, I doubt that he will let us know how he got the decripted code?

Hi enoskype its my job to play with fire everyday.

 

and as for my security cant talk about that

 

but I can say if you used sandboxing, returnil to protect

against this treat it would be a mistake,

 

Cicely has had some small issue downloading the files so

I had to re-upload should be good now:-P

Okay, ss101

So, if I understand this correctly,

Microsoft has a security update that 'May or May-Not' block Flame,

and we are hopeing that Other Security software developers, like IObit, can come up with something that will completely block it.

Is that about where we are Now?

Another possibility is that whoever developed Flame,

be it CIA, IIS, etc.,

may Not Want anyone developing a Cure for it Yet ? 8-) :shock:

Since it was probably developed as a Powerful-Weapon. ;-)

 

If it was completely blocked, they would have to develop another to take it's place.

So it may be better to just Contain it, in a certain area, instead of distroying it ?

If that is Possible ?

 

It's like the ol' Navy man said:

:wink: or you Sacrifice a great ship, (flame) to protect the super stealth anti gravity flying invisible ship, ;-)

 

first Stuxnet then Duqu now Flame, don't think that there is something worse and harder to find in development , its most like already in the wild .;-)

 

Flame was written purely for espionage, and in that game there is always a plan B and C and Z .

Ah Yes, the Wild-Wild-Web. :shock:

 

I hope they keep that 'super stealth anti gravity flying invisible ship' Hidden for a Long time,

since the disclosure of new Super-Weapons are always Bad-news for the World.

I remember reading, several years ago, about some young Hackers that were caught and convicted,

but instead of sending them to prison, they were Hired to develop security and espionage-software.

 

So, now I'm wondering if they are the ones that created Flame ? ;-)

Flame was a major protect it would have taken 2 years or so to develop

and tested and re tested to avoid most major security setups it well planned and well organized , the truth is we may never know which government funded and deployed it, but it wont be for the lack of trying, such black opts project's

are going to be more prevalent in the near future,

 

my group has already see a slight twisted variant of flame done by some hackers trying to redo it for their own use,

but it was a failure,

The malware Flame is blocked in definitions version 1141

 

Dear All,

 

Thanks for providing us the important information and sending us the decrypted 'Flame' worm. I have forwarded to our specialists and released a update (definitions version 1141) to block it.

 

All of the best.

That is interesting. Seems like you should not read or post so much propaganda?????? Hackers will hack that's what they do. Your post is only propaganda!! This is not a political forum!!!!

propaganda ???

This thread is about a very serious computer-Security problem, which is the Flame virus.

And I am trying to present as much information, about that problem, as I can.

 

What are you referring to?

I don't see any political propaganda in what we wrote.

Are you talking about something in the articals about Flame?

If so, Facts about the virus are 'Facts'. :roll:

Everything said is Well publicized, world-wide.

 

Everyone needs to know that These Super-Viruses are out there and where they come from,

and what is being done to block them in the Future!
