Thank you. &nbsp;So the Pro version will always run just like a normal AV? &nbsp;Do I still need to run McAfee AV on the users machines?
</div>


<div>
I was also curious how does it get it even if no local Admin privileges. &nbsp;For years its been preventing and now not anymore.. 
</div>


<div>
So that's my point. &nbsp;The users doesn't have full rights to their own profile. &nbsp;So they cannot change settings, registry, etc..
</div>


<div>
Thanks tsaico &nbsp;and thanks younghv. &nbsp; Very good article for home and small business users. I will take it into the consideration.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
</div>


<div>
Yes the question has been answered. &nbsp;I will close is out ASAP. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sorry about that!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have no admin privileges to any local workstation for my cliens. &nbsp;Also McAfee AV is up to date. &nbsp;How does this thing gets in? &nbsp;I already got 3-4 users infected. &nbsp;Luckily malawarebytes easily removes it.<br />
<br />
Still wondering what can be improved. &nbsp;Better antivirus antispyware solution? &nbsp;UPdate more frequently?<br />
<br />
Please advice. &nbsp;Thanks!!

XP Anti-Spyware 2011.  How does it get in?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Anti-Virus Apps

Spyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge; it has also come to include programs that engage in various kinds of electronic fraud. Anti-spyware is software that removes or blocks that software; some common vendors include Malwarebytes, McAfee, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and BitDefender.

Anti-Spyware

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
