Have trojans coming in.Pop-ups.warning Buffer overrun detected.What does this mean?HELP!!!Have McAfee Security

I have scanned and removed trojans, but I keep getting more. I have hundreds of pop-ups and computer keeps freezing up. The warning I get is from Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Buffer overrun detected has corrupted programs internal state. Program cannot safely continue execution and must be terminated. McAfee doesn't seem to be working correctly. I have scanned in safe mode and DOS. Why do I keep getting pop-ups? I have even installed a second pop-up blocker. What is happening to my computer????

Reply:trojan horse has low risk


the best anti virus for it is symantec


do quarantine the virus


this will prove better


this is like the history of trojan horse


virus attack slowly increases


do vault or quarantine the virus
Reply:problem one, mcafee sucks so does norton, get stopzilla and avg then get ccleaner and abexo regristry cleaner everything i just listed is free except stopzilla
Reply:Well, you may didn't update antivirus programm. Please do that, because, if you have this bugs, you may harm your computer. Then try. If not, then reinstal software, but C++ is never buged. i'm working in that programm.
Reply:The best solution is to format your PC and to re-install the OS. I had the same problem....nothing worked out..so i formatted it..
Reply:uhm. i suggest you reset your computer.
Reply:most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.





i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.





besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.





download firefox for free, Just have a try:

Good Luck
Reply:Just save everything and there's no real prob..... I've had 4 virii [viruses] and had to reformatt 6 times and get a new hard-drive; it's no biggie.
Reply:McAfee's virus scanner is not really that good. Plus, if you're getting pop-ups it's most probably spywares, which traditionally are not handled by virus scanners.





The AVG line-up of anti-virus, anti-rootkit and anti-spyware software are worth trying (http://free.grisoft.com/); also, if you're still on XP, download Microsoft's Windows Defender, an anti-spyware program that's now bundled with Vista but still available on XP.
Reply:Buffer overrun attack is a very common attack utilized by hackers. This type of attack is not new. This attack utilizes poor coding practices in C and C++ code, with the handling of string functions. The following code is an example of a buffer overrun.





void myMethod(char * pStr) {





char pBuff[10];





int nCount = 0;











strcpy(pBuff, pStr);





}











void foo()





{





}





Solution:


There are three main actions to resolve the problem. First is to utilize the /GS compile option. This option creates a cookie between the stack overrun and the return address. This allows the system to helps prevent buffer overruns, by changing the stack layout. The second action is to use the %26lt;strsafe.h%26gt; library. This library has buffer overrun safe functions that will help with the detection of buffer overflows. Finally, the last action is to perform extensive code reviews of string functionality and indexes utilized within your application


NOTE:


This is a description of buffer overruns from a programmer's perspective...I don't have the ability to troubleshoot “buffer overrun” error messages in your programs, so if you ask, that's the answer you'll get. Error messages in programs are best addressed to the product support folks for the program in question.
