[chbot] crypto safe (CS)

[Mark Atherton]

The crypto-infection apparently starts by inadvertently executing an 
EXE, usually as an email attachment

The crypto safe web site claims that the infection will only use one 
of three or four locations to attempt to un compress the virus into.

crypto safe claims that it enforces group policies that will not 
allow write access to these directories, so the virus cannot launch

so CS would be useful as a second line of defence against accidental 
launch of the virus

The package was recommended to me by the tech at a local IT company, 
who I have some trust in, but it is difficult to test, just like the 
'elephant-gun'. This tech is going to have some rather large issues 
to deal with processionally if he hasn't done his homework.

crypto safe has been around for some while, and running the latest 
Avira signatures does not reveal any issues, nor does a complete 
system scan using Avira after running CS

I could not find any bad-press about CS

========

I entirely understand Charles's viewpoint, but from the inspections 
that I have done, I believe that I am taking reasonable research and 
action with respect within the context of *my* machine

Your mileage may vary

In terms of the other comment, real-world and commercial limitations 
do not allow the selection of any other operating systems.
