Few days ago I removed some advanced Malware from my system; removing it was difficult
and I used several methods. My AV resident shield didn’t detect it because is was
advanced Malware. I received it when I was viewing an M$ Word document in Windows
Wordpad. It was stealth executable Malware within the content (that document was
the only cause after looking at download log). I only found out about the Malware
install after noticing suspicious folder when routinely checking dictionaries.
Now after that, I am afraid to open any .DOC, .XML, .HTM, (download) in case active
content is within.
Where could I obtain a processes monitor (preferably freeware, compatible with W98),
which can monitor for any suspicious/unusually-high processes?
If ever I opened another item with active content, the process monitor will alert
me if unknown software is executing, right? Any ideas to prevent this?
