SELaplana >> Security >> “Manually Installed”, Doesn’t Mean “Maliciously, Intentionally Installed”

I received an email from the US user related to the Spyware.ScreenView spyware.

I saw your website and you mentioned malicious spyware including the manually installed kind, Spyware.ScreenView.  I have been a victim of it.  My question to you is this:  If it is installed at a University or Public Library deliberately and with the consent of the university or library and, supposedly without the knowledge of end users, what can be done?  I have run Symantec to find what is on at times I am using it and printed out the results at several locations.

Because I am dealing with propriatary information, which has been professionally presented and is worth millions of dollars, I consider it to be theft.  Currently I am sending this to you from **** **** and would include a warning to others who are inventors, creative artists, original programmers and so on that their material will be stolen and distributed prior to their giving permission and despite the fact that the material is posted as copyrighted and prohibited from reproduction.  This is of course going to be pursued in the press and the courts.  That way the word gets out regardless of the end result in my case.  It is important to protect the public from thieves, regardless of their stated claims of justification.

Meanwhile, any help out there for fighting this on LANS out of your control?  It’s my tax dollard paying for this!!

Just want to make it clear that although this spyware is manually installed, it doesn’t mean that the user of the PC who installed this has the intention of installing this spyware.

Didn’t I tell you that my PC was infected by this spyware?  But I din’t mean that I intentionally installed it on my PC. When tech said “manually installed a spyware (not intentional)” it means several things:

1. You visited a site which prompt you that the site will install something into your PC. When you click the OK button, the file or codes will be installed into your PC.
2. You opened a malicious email which contains attachment. With your curiousity, you downloaded the attachment and open it. As you opened the malicious attachment, it automatically install malicious codes or files into your PC.
3. You opened a file from a floppy disk or any removable disk becuase you are curious what it is. As you double click the file, the malicious codes automatically activated and installed malicious programs into your PC.
4. You installed a clean-looking application into your PC without knowing that it contains malicious codes or program.

In other words, no one should be blamed if your University’s PCs have this spyware. What you need to do is to advice your PC tech about it. Let them know about the infection. They know what to do on this, for they know the SOP.

….. always update your PC security software.
