Windows Security Center: Fooling WMI Consumers

Posted by admin / March 1, 2013

Windows Security Center is a reporting tool that is built into the operating system, since the release of service pack 2 for Windows XP, that monitors the health state of the endpoint in different areas, such as Windows updates, firewall settings and antivirus/antispyware settings. In order for third party security applications to be Windows compliant, they must report their state to Security Center through the use of a private API that can be obtained by signing an NDA.

An Illustration of Early Malware Outbreak Detection with Multi-scanning

Posted by admin / February 12, 2013

Scanning with multiple anti-malware engines provides many advantages over the use of a single antivirus engine. One of these benefits is a reduction in the amount of time until new virus outbreaks are detected. For any new threat, engines will include detection at different times due to their differing threat detection algorithms and databases of virus signatures. With a multi-scanning solution, the time to detection is decreased to the earliest detection time of all of the engines used. As more and more engines are added to a multi-scanning solution, the fastest detection times for different new threats become available, and the average time to detect a new virus will decrease.
