You know Firmin,
Most of the risk has been shifted to the source people are downloading
from. So many people rather Google a product, and grab from the first
page of results. So that is a majority of the issue is repackaged
products with additional *ware in it. This is very hard to find cause
most actions that are being executed are not going to set off a lot of
the antivirus products with medium to low heuristics.
You know I am curious as to a good antivirus that can run on Linux
without having to be installed whenever there is a new kernel update.
So good luck to you and your quest old friend.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Re-evaluating tools for patching workstations/servers
and 3rd party apps
As you know the vectors of attacks have been shifting for some time now
towards 3rd party apps like Adobe, Flash and others.
Do you know of any tools that can centrally scan for vulnerabilities and
centrally remediate 3rd party apps, Windows & Linux Operating Systems?
If you have a favorite that you would like to share that would be great.
Thanks.
