Zor, this is something you might want to forward on to your readers
somehow.
The following is a listing of all software known to install the Aureate
spy on your system. The Aureate spy keeps track of your Internet
activities and sends a report to Aureate every time you open your
browser. The Aureate spy places the following files on a Windows
machine. [It is not known, yet, to affect Macintosh or Linux machines.]

The installed files are some or all of:

adimage.dll
advert.dll
advpack.dll
amcis.dll
amcis2.dll
amcompat.tlb
amstream.dll
anadsc.ocx
anadscb.ocx
htmdeng.exe
ipcclient.dll
msipcsv.exe
tfde.dll

Here is a review of the contents and
code contained in the DLL's that Aureate makes use of. Here are a
few of my findings up to this point:

advert.dll
=======

This DLL creates a hidden window every time you open your browser. It
creates and sends 4 pages of information to the Aureate servers using
port 1749 on your system, these pages include:

1. Your name as listed in the system registry ( not the name you
installed one of the programs with )
2. Your IP address
3. The reverse DNS match of your address. ( tells them what ISP and
area of country you are in )
4. A listing of ALL software that is shown in your registry as being
installed. ( Not just the companies they work with )
5. This DLL sends the following information to their server on all
URL's you visit:
A.) ad banners you may click on
B.) all downloads you do showing the filename/file
size/date/time/type of file(image, zip,executable, etc)
C.) full time and date stamps of all your actions while
using your
browser
D.) the remote dialup number you are dialing in on (taken out of
your dialer configuration)
E.) dialup password if saved, does not "appear" at first glance
to send this through to them.
6. Contains programmers note: "Show me the money! I want to
be Mike!"


advpack.dll
=========

Used during the installation only to check for other needed files.
amcis.dll
=======

This DLL modifies the following registry keys:
1. HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
2. HKEY_DYN_DATA
3. HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA
4. HKEY_USERS
5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
6. HKEY_CURRENT_USER
7. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

Unregisterss oleaut32.dll from memory as provided by M$oft and
replaces with its own calls. Switches back to M$oft's when browser is
closed. Creates stub processes to be started anytime your browser is
opened.


amcompat.tlb
===========

This guy tracks any multimedia clips ( video/pictures/sound ) that
you view It tracks the rating level on the video/picture/sound and
title / location Contains references to DblClick ( still digging on
this one! )


amstream.dll
==========

Setups TWO way communications between your system and theirs.
Used to send info and receive update commands/files
Open port 1749 for communications
 
Cute...

Not the first time I heard of those kind of things.

Besides, England and USA are spying on us 24/7, so who gives a damn?
 
A lot of people give a damn

Privacy issues on the net remains one of the hottest subjects on the net because people don't like the idea of being watched. Allthough I have some concern of where we're going (big brother is watching you) I'm not so paranoid to think that Mr Haas' (the lawyer who wrote the report on the Aureate add software) isn't exaggerating. Allthough technically the Aureate software could be used to spy on people I don't think a company would resort to such a thing because people would find out and big and expensive lawsuits would follow.
 
Hmmm...

When I ran Nutscrape, it kept on getting an advert.dll error and crashing. This is probably because of my firewall/'special' ISP. But as soon as I wiped my harddrive and started using MSIE5 it worked fine.

RE: A lot of people give a damn

Actually, the USA government has developed a virus which is downloaded onto your computer undetected. Then it sends a report of which programs were accessed, which keys were pressed and for how long back to the main computer. This is used to spy on malicious hackers trying to break into network systems etc.

Sure, Smack...

1. How do they get everyone to download it?
2. How are they going to filter it? Are they going to sort out any who goes past navy.mil or something?
 
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

First you're talking to yourself. Now you're acting paranoid. Are you ok Smack? ;-)

RE: Sure, Smack...

>1. How do they get everyone

Just like the Aureate program probably. Everytime the suspect logs onto the net, the virus can relay the info back to the govt. on a very wierd port (like port 1749).

>2. How are they going to

Um, navy.mil?

They don't go putting it on everyone's computer. It is just like the FBI spying on Columbian drug barons, they install cameras. Well, this is similar.

Actually, I think I may have cracked under pressure over the past week.

Do you know who Miroslav is? Why are you calling him paranoid? Do you have any proof?

Aha! Then the verdict is reached, lock him up for contempt of court!

RE: Hidden virus....?!?

So.............?

Look, you can't start these kind of discussion because a "connection" told you that...

PROOFS!!
 
Oh, then...

How do they know the people they install it to are hackers? Because their computers have signs saying "This is a hacker"?

Eh?
 
Coolness.

So I'm being spied on...

Like I care. I'm just some stat, one of millions of others, it doesn't bother me.


BTW, how did Smack use HTML here?
<font size="7">tesssst</font>

<font size="7">tesst</font>

[font size=7]test

{font size="7"}tesst{/font}
 
RE: Hidden virus....?!?

Smack could tell you who his source is, but then he'd have to kill you :-)
