Help me choose software for security please!

Hi every one.
I'm trying to find some program help me in the security problems.
What things i need for?It must be a program that help me control all
hidden executive and installation.I need it help me to monitor and
report me if a program is being installed to my system,help me monitor
all of its activities(creat files,del files,add value to
registry,modified files) and i can stop any action of its installation
at anytime i want.And i want it log every thing of that to a log file
so that i can view after if it's a malware.
And the second i need is a folder and files security program.I need a
program can help me control the folder access permission of the
system.Some folder can be use and modify by these program but cannot
be use by other program.Example:I download a program from the
internet,save into the folder A,IDM can access the folder A,write to
it but other cannot write to the folder A.Folder FX can be access by
the program X but others program cannot access FX and contrary,the
program A cannot access any folder else A.
For the second purpose,i did try the Universal Shield but it not work
excellently as my mine,now i'm still looking for these.
Anyone have the experience please help me,just give me the name of
them.I will thank very much!

Wouldn't the first step be stop abusing MSIE as a webbrowser?

Huh? Unless you explicitly do that, this can't happen.

You mean something like Procmon? But this poses a huge performance impact on
the system, but no real security benefit.

Oh, that's trivial. Just take Process Explorer and suspend the relevant
process (which actually just suspends all non-suspended threads). But how is
this related to security?

Huh? It's not like some malware would present itself like this. After all,
shouldn't you focus on not running the malware in first place?

You mean what Windows already does?

Looks like scamware.

So what was your problem? Do you want a program that helps you managing the
ACLs in Windows more efficiently? Or what?

Assuming you're on Win XP Pro SP2...
The most dependable defenses are:
1. Do not work as 'Administrator'; For day-to-day work routinely use a
Limited User Account (LUA).
2. Secure (Harden) your operating system.
3. Keep your operating (OS) system (and all software on it)
updated/patched.
4. Reconsider the usage of IE and OE.
5. Review your installed 3rd party software applications/utilities;
Remove clutter.
6. Don't expose services to public networks.
7. Activate the build-in firewall and configure Windows not to use
TCP/IP as transport protocol for NetBIOS, SMB and RPC, thus leaving
TCP/UDP ports 135,137-139 and 445 (the most exploited Windows
networking weak point) closed.
7a.If on high-speed internet use a router as well.
8. Routinely practice safe-hex.
9. Regularly back-up data/files.
10.Familiarize yourself with crash recovery tools and re-installing your
operating system (OS).
11.Utilize a real-time anti-virus application and vital system
monitoring utilities/applications.
12.Keep abreast of the latest developments - Sh!t happens...you know.

The least preferred defenses are:
Myriads of popular anti-whatever applications and staying ignorant.

I actually broke down and tried this once with a user in the house
here on one machine that stays up all the time with one user (not me).

My experience was that it actually decreased security because the pain
in the ass it made in applying software updates to non-microsoft
software (Quicktime patch of the week, instant messenger software
updates, Mozilla products) actually caused the overall posture to be
less secure because the tedium of having to log out, log in as
administrator and apply the updates left the machine unpatched longer
just because the pain it'd become.


Nice in theory, pain in the butt and backfires in practice for many
situations, I suspect.

Well, we all have our different experiences and browsing habits. I work in
LUA all the time without any problems and work with the admin acc usually
once a month (mainly for updating software apps and/or other maintenance
purposes). I admit that working in LUA can be tricky at first for the
uninitiated but in my experience, the learning curve flattens over time.

Ok,so i tell u more about my soft.
If you come a site and suddenly,a file down and install on ur
computer,so how do you
deal with?And if you install a file that bound with a virus,so beside
you install the soft,how do you know and treat with that malware?Some
month ago i get xorer virus from a CD-Rom(it is so unluck to me that
that time my antivirus not updated) and it inject to all exe
files....,after then i update and it del all my data.
Windows ACLs i know alitlle but as i know,if a folder write and delete
protected then no any program can write data to it,and if a folder can
be write by a program then virus can write to it.
Process Monitor i know but so slow down and not a installation monitor
tool ja,even i use it monitor my installation then i cannot control
anything aswell.Scamware i dont know.
Okie,so all your ever advice is not useful for me.Anyway thanks for
the care!(Ah,and what is "huh?" :D,my English not well ja,seemed u
often huh? on ur saying?? is that right?:D,just joke,ur style is
wonderful with me :D)


Kay,your knowlegde really nice,thank very much.But maybe i was

tools.Anyway thanks!

Sorry that I dared for actually addressing your problem... Anyway, this is a
newsgroup, not a support forum. Don't expect your questions to be answered
or even the discussion leading to a point you'd like.

Your system is compromised, so no software can't help you. D'Oh, that's trivial!

Turn off the computer, boot from an offline media, create a backup and then
start verifying against a well-known safe backup, signature base etc.,
consequently restoring any modification. Then I'd login as admin, create a
new user account and shift over all data. Then I start verifying them in the
background while rebuilding all settings and reinstalling all relevant
programs from trusted media.

What else?

I guess I'd recognize the misbehaviour pretty soon, and start investigating it.

Even if it was, that generally wouldn't have stopped it.

That is, the effective write access of the user to the folder is denied.
That's what you mean? Since there's some scenarios where other permissions
might allow write access as well (f.e. being the owner, being able to change
the ACLs, delete child permissions on the upper folder).

Yes, trivially. The access is enforced by the kernel, and everything has to
pass trough it for accessing hardware resources (other than CPU and RAM).

You cannot control other than by ACLs and capabilities. If you give write
access somewhere, then the installation is free to write there. if you don't
want this, set proper permissions.

> Scamware i dont know.

You know, it is security software that tries to implement a broken concept
in a broken way, so actually reduces the security.

> Okie,so all your ever advice is not useful for me.


Well, this might be because you didn't ask the proper questions? From what
you wrote it seems like you didn't even flatten and rebuild the system.

You can try Secure Auditor, a new software for unified digital risk
management issues. It contain 30 embedded security tools along with
event log viewers. May be it works for you. Download it from

Maybe a webforum?

But I still wonder where your problem is. Flatten and rebuild the system,
then the system is recovered from the compromise. (Heck, in fact, if this
hasn't already been clear to you, then maybe you shouldn't dare
administrating a computer all by yourself.)

Wrong. Google Groups is merely a web interface for Usenet, and Usenet is a
media for *discussing news*. Discussions are different from simple support
stuff.

> i don't know that Google group have the law aswell.

Usenet follows both some agreed technical laws as well as many social laws.
One of these is that discussions won't generally lead your way, and not
answer your questions at all.

> Just needing protect my data and i post here...

Coming to think of it, don't you think that comp.security.*firewalls* might
be the wrong group?

One of the "perks" of Vista's UAC is that it solves this problem,
running as a limited user by default, but simplifying the process to
switch to administrative rights.

Which only puts you back to where you were before UAC. However, for
those that pay even a minimal amount of attention and notice that they
did not initiate an action that required elevation, they may notice.

Honestly, if you're even seeing UAC popups daily once your systems are
up and running, I'd go as far as to say you're probably not an average
end user, or you're doing something wrong to begin with.

(Anyone who has even heard of usenet is probably not an end user. From
watching some audio reports, my kids haven't seen a UAC prompt in some
weeks, although I have been updating iTunes+Quicktime for them)

Hm... didn't we discuss security? I fail to see how introducing an
additional security nightmare should help...

But well, quite typical for someone who even abuses MSIE as a webbrowser.
But even those guys are normally honest to themselves and don't dare
teaching others about security since they know that they're lacking competence.

kaspersky will prompt you every time a program is trying to access
registry and system files ......most of the time u can say no so that
non of the software is able to modify registry / use system file
area....this in turn will help you to be catious about any product
installation...(i suppose if u r knowing this much u also will be
knowing which program to allow n which not)....thses are some parts
which i meant to say that kaspersky could help.....

Unless the program is malicious and simply answers these prompts itself.

Wrong again. If it wants to, then it simply does by simply choosing other means.

At any rate, it looks like you're abusing MSIE as a webbrowser. And you want
to teach others about security? Laughable!
