Identifying a Windows Virus with Trend Micro House Call

Started by PaulStimpson

If you want to check files or directories for a Windows virus before passing it on to a Windows user you can do it online with the Java app at Trend Micro HouseCall.

I can also recommend Virus Total http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html, which scans an executable through a dozen different vendor AV products.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF)

SPF - Sender Policy Framework

What is it?

Sender Policy Framework. Anti-spam technique based on verifying the source of an email.

How does it work?

You create a list of all the mail servers that are allowed to send mail for your domain, and add it as a dns txt record. For example:
 gmx.net.        300   IN   TXT   "v=spf1 ip4: -all"
