The Antivirus Defense-in-Depth Guide Released to Web

  • Article

Finally got out of war, and saw this in my inbox...

The Microsoft Solutions for Security (MSS) team has released The Antivirus Defense-in-Depth Guide on the Web (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=28734)

I just had a look at it, and it's a pretty cool document. This guidance includes:

  • A high-level overview of different malware types such as viruses and worms, their characteristics and replication techniques, and the payloads or actions malware use to attack computers.
  • How to use defense-in-depth planning for both the clients and servers in your organization, including patch management, firewall protection, general security measures, and related tools to reduce the risk of infection.
  • A comprehensive step-by-step methodology to quickly and effectively respond to malware outbreaks or infections and recover from them. The guidance in this area is based largely on Microsoft internal operations and the experience Microsoft has gained from assisting customers.

    Michael, for some reason that link did not work. This one did, though: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F24A8CE3-63A4-45A1-97B6-3FEF52F63ABB&displaylang=en

    Thanks for the heads up!

    This is cool stuff indeed, but why the heck does it use Windows Installer for a simple pdf file distribution?!?

    Please, please, please, it is completely rediculouse from a security point of view to run an installer just to view a document. In the case of MS I can be pretty sure that the installer won't do any harm, but running a msi file requires that I jump a certain "trust" fence, so to say. I don't want to make that decision when I only want to read a document. Please tell them to change that!!!

    I agree with David. Why PDF and why MSI? It is a kind of enigma...
