I am definitely a belt and suspenders guy when it comes to security. I don’t leave my computer’s security in the hands of just one program. I use several and I do in depth scans every other day automatically on each. I’m currently using Symantec Endpoint Protection (excellent!), Spyware Doctor 6, Lavasoft Adaware and Webroot.

I thought I was protected until I saw this lurking in my enabled plugins inside the new Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 I just installed:

I went to the directory and saw fieryads.dll sitting there. This is adware or worse for sure, but You cannot find it on Google! Check your internet explorer today and make sure you don’t have it enabled. Access that through the Tools menu on the top bar or the little wrench symbol on the explorer 8. Disable the plugin, delete the files, restart explorer and your all cleaned up. It is pretty shocking to see things that don’t show up on any commercial anti-virus / malware products.
