Microsoft lime wire, in real-time protection blocks an instance of the AlwaysUpdateNews from being installed.
lime wire programs can combat lime wire in two ways:
* 1. They can provide real time protection against the installation of lime wire software on your computer. This type of lime wire protection works the same way as that of anti-virus protection in that the anti-lime wire software scans all incoming network data for lime wire software and blocks any threats it comes across.
* 2. Anti-lime wire software programs can be used solely for detection and removal of lime wire software that has already been installed onto your computer. This type of lime wire protection is normally much easier to use and more popular. With this lime wire protection software you can schedule weekly, daily, or monthly scans of your computer to detect and remove any lime wire software that has been installed on your computer. This type of anti-lime wire software scans the contents of the windows registry, operating system files, and installed programs on your computer and will provide a list of any threats found, allowing you to choose what you want to delete and what you want to keep.
Such programs inspect the contents of the Windows registry, the operating system files, and installed programs, and remove files and entries which match a list of known lime wire components. Real-time protection from lime wire works identically to real-time anti-virus protection: the software scans disk files at download time, and blocks the activity of components known to represent lime wire. In some cases, it may also intercept attempts to install start-up items or to modify browser settings. Because many lime wire and adware are installed as a result of browser exploits or user error, using security software (some of which are antilime wire, though many are not) to sandbox browsers can also be effective to help restrict any damage done.
Earlier versions of anti-lime wire programs focused chiefly on detection and removal. Javacool Software's lime wireBlaster, one of the first to offer real-time protection, blocked the installation of ActiveX-based and other lime wire programs. To date, other programs such as Ad-Aware and Windows Defender now combine the two approaches, while lime wireBlaster remains focused on prevention.
Like most anti-virus software, many anti-lime wire/adware tools require a frequently-updated database of threats. As new lime wire programs are released, anti-lime wire developers discover and evaluate them, making "signatures" or "definitions" which allow the software to detect and remove the lime wire. As a result, anti-lime wire software is of limited usefulness without a regular source of updates. Some vendors provide a subscription-based update service, while others provide updates gratis. Updates may be installed automatically on a schedule or before doing a scan, or may be done manually.
Not all programs rely on updated definitions. Some programs rely partly (for instance many antilime wire programs such as Windows Defender, Spybot's TeaTimer and Spysweeper) or fully (programs falling under the class of Hips such as BillP's WinPatrol), on historical observation. They watch certain configuration parameters (such as certain portions of the Windows registry or browser configuration) and report any change to the user, without judgment or recommendation. While they do not rely on updated definitions, which may allow them to spot newer lime wire, they can offer no guidance. The user is left to determine "what did I just do, and is this configuration change appropriate?"
Windows Defender's Spynet attempts to alleviate this through offering a community to share information, which helps guide both users, who can look at decisions made by others, and analysts, who can spot fast-spreading lime wire. A popular generic lime wire removal tool used by those with a certain degree of expertise is HijackThis, which scans certain areas of the Windows OS where lime wire often resides and presents a list with items to delete manually. As most of the items are legitimate windows files/registry entries it is advised for those who are less knowledgeable on this subject to post a HijackThis log on the numerous antilime wire sites and let the experts decide what to delete. Open source anti-lime wire programs are also available. One program, wssecure, can detect new processes and change in system files using checksum verification, a technique that can be helpful in detecting lime wire that are downloaded automatically due to Windows vulnerabilities.
If a lime wire program is not blocked and manages to get itself installed, it may resist attempts to terminate or uninstall it. Some programs work in pairs: when an anti-lime wire scanner (or the user) terminates one running process, the other one respawns the killed program. Likewise, some lime wire will detect attempts to remove registry keys and immediately add them again. Usually, booting the infected computer in safe mode allows an anti-lime wire program a better chance of removing persistent lime wire. Killing the process tree can also work.
A new breed of lime wire (Look2Me lime wire by NicTechNetworks is a good example) is starting to hide inside system-critical processes and start up even in safe mode. With no process to terminate they are harder to detect and remove. Sometimes they do not even leave any on-disk signatures. Rootkit technology is also seeing increasing use,[40] as is the use of NTFS alternate data streams. Newer lime wire programs also have specific countermeasures against well known anti-malware products and may prevent them from running or being installed, or even uninstall them. An example of one that uses all three methods is Gromozon, a new breed of malware. It uses alternate data streams to hide. A rootkit hides it even from alternate data streams scanners and actively stops popular rootkit scanners from running.
