Understanding and Fighting Malware: Viruses, Spyware 4/8

TechNet: Understanding and Fighting Malware: Viruses, Spyware and Rootkits

Event Overview
Today's Internet is fraught with peril in the form of undesirable and malicious software. These types of software
continue to evolve new ways of propogating and ways of embedding themselves more deeply into the systems they

infect. Join us for this webcast, presented from Tech·Ed 2005 in Orlando, Florida, and gain an understanding of
their propagation methods, including buffer overflow exploits, how to detect them and how to prevent them. Get a
first-hand look at rootkits, which are the sophisticated tools and techniques by which malware attempts to avoid
and prevent detection.

Presenter: Mark Russinovich, Chief Software Architect and Co-founder, Winternals Software, LP

Mark is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and serves as senior contributing editor for Windows IT Pro

magazine where he contributes to the Windows Power Tools column. He is also a frequent speaker at major industry
